AutoCAD Inventor :: Call Indented BOM In IDW Level
Mar 3, 2013What is the procedure to call a indented bom in idw level? i tried it by clicking ALL LEVEL in the bom window but no use.

what I'm after is to take a design I've made in Illustrator:

and turn it into a cylinder:

But instead of applying the pattern as a surface, have it with depth.
What is the proper way to call out a square in a note? Do you put size then square symbol or square symbol then size?

Currently, when I am dimensioning Counter Bore holes, I have to use a general dimension for CBore dia incuding the Limit/Fit tolerance and manually add the hole dia (or visa versa). This means I have to manually update any changes to hole dia.
I want my custom property to defined as item #. That Item # then is represented in the balloon.
reasoning is that then engineers wont have to check drawings anymore for the guess work involved in matching the part balloon to each individual part in the assembly being called out.
I can then focus on creating a BOM that shows the different item#'s and the user can quickly go through it.
In the inventor drawing, while showing hole callouts for TAP, it is coming along with thread pitch (Ex: M12 x 1.5). But I dont want to show the pitch. How to call out only TAP size(Ex:- M12) without editing the dimension.

I can open the form from the skeleton part, then leave it open and update values even while the skeleton part is inactive or even closed. But I can't find out how to call it from the assembly file. Is this possible? I currently have to open the skeleton just to call up the form.
I can reference values or even add them in another form, but I am not allowed to change them in an assembly form, because they are (linked) reference parameters.
I have considered several workarounds, but this is how I really want it to work. I'm just not that familiar with the code to know if there's a way around. The code snippets only allow opening a form from the current document as far as I can see. I don't really want a global from because I'm only changing parameters in one file, not all.

Something that looks like an engraving in stone.
I use tabs in my document for indentation. When my cursor is at the beginning of a line, and I use the up/down keys, the cursor always jumps to the end of the first tab.
This only happens in tab-indent, not space-indent.
Is this supposed to be a "feature"? How can I make it stay at the same cursor position when navigating with arrow keys?
Is there a way to only show the second level of assmblies of a BOM in a parts list while making a idw drawing? I have an assembly that references two other assemblies that I want to get all children of the two assemblies and form a parts list. It is a bit complicated to explain but see the picture for SecondLevelBOM.png for more info. I can find the First Level BOM properties in the Parts list under the BOM Settings and Properties but cannot find the second.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with the order of my BOM. In the picture below I have an assembly with subassembly STR-35-241-19L-17450. The BOM for the subassembly is on the right in the picture and is ordered the way it should be. However when I open the BOM in the Top level assembly (left in the picture) the order is not the same. In fact the order is completely random for the subassembly. I need this order to match the subassembly so I can export it into our ERP system.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to create a workplane and then define the section.
Usually the sectioning is done w.r.t flat surface/s and then the section plane can be offset depending upon our requirement and placement in the assembly. I am not getting this offset option when I want a Sectioned View. The section takes where I click on the flat face straight.
Is it possible to set a view representation and level of detail (combine them) at the same time in an assembly. Or do they have to be set individually?
Attached images show the first assembly option with four sections together. The second image shows the second assembly option with the top and bottom sections only.
Is there a way to disable the level of detail? I personally find this feature most annoying.
I am now starting to understand it after being tripped up by it early in my Inventor carrier.
But even now in understanding it more, I see no point in it.
The problem I have is I can have more then one level of detail in my model to show a specific way in my
one drawing. Then this specific level of detail when changed for a different drawing will screw with the first drawing.
Why can't one just suppress certain items without having to worry about this. Heck, isn't this what Iparts and iassemblies are for?
I have a sub assembly with frame members and have used different colors for different sizes. In the top level assembly all the colors are lost, presumably because it defaults back to material color. Is there a way to get the frame member colors to display and all assembly levels?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using IV 2010. I have an assembly that is made up of subassemblies and individual parts. Some of the subassemblies share the same parts. I would like to know when I create the BOM for the top level assembly if it can show parts only with no assemblies. I want to get the BOM to combine like parts from all subassemblies in one list. I have tried to use the part only option and it still puts subassemblies in the BOM and breaks the parts out per subassembly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am creating a large assembly that will contain many level of details. When I complete a "section" of components, I create a LOD for just that section (all other components suppressed). However, all the components I add after that LOD has been created are added to that LOD. I would like all additional components to be automatically suppressed, unless I have that LOD active.

I have an assembly and using ilogic to control the wide of the machine.The wider machine has some different brackets which I am turning on and off by using "component . IsActive" in ilogic.
I had to make a new level of detail for it to work, and this is all fine except everytime I open this assembly it defaults back to master level of detail, so I always get this error.
How do I control level of detail with ilogic or how am i suppose to turn parts on and off.I have seen some impressive assemblies controlled with ilogic how do they do it.
I am having a little trouble with some doors showing up on the level 1 door schedule that are actually on level 2. They are curtain wall doors.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change the display name of part at the part level (not an occurrence in an assembly). After the part file is saved initially I'm running an ilogic routine that assigns a "special" part number (not the same as the file name). I can get the part number into the PN iproperty easily but I can't find a way to programmatically change the display name in the top browser node. Please see attached for clarification.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.
When i set a specific Plane in my new Level of Detail (Right click on the box set this view as "top") and save, i switch back to master and now the view from the new level of detail transferred over.
How can i make custom top,front,right niews for my new level of detail so it wont affect other details (especially my master view).
I am iterating through a multi-level structured BOMView and checking to see if the component occurrences) corresponding to each BOMRow are visible or not. It seems that only assemblies (and sub-assemblies) have valid occurrences where I can check the Visible property. All parts are skipped (returns False). My code is below:
Private Function ItemIsVisible(ByRef bomRow As Inventor.BOMRow) As Boolean Try Dim cDef As ComponentDefinition Dim cOcc As Component Occurrence For Each cDef In bomRow.ComponentDefinitionsFor Each cOcc In cDef.Occurrences If cOcc.Visible Then Return True Next cOcc Next cDef Return False Catch ex As ExceptionReturn False End Try
I've created a view in my presentation file and tweaked all my components to where I want them. How do I change the level of detail associated with a particular explosion already created? I know when you create the view you can select which representation and level of detail to use, but how do you change these after the exploded view is created?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to edit lighting styles for models in the edit wondow (not studio). On one only or several assembly models at once I am finding that the Style & Stnd/Lighting Editor has stability issues during editing.
After a number of edits to light settings using the scroll bars to change the lighting location, various buttons start to dissapear or turn black & the dialog fails to function, sometimes locking up Inventor.
Only solution is to close down & restart Inventor. Subsequent attempts to reopen & do it again result in same behavior if not worse.
