I have an assembly that features tube and pipe, flexible hose to be specific. If I create a Positional Representation in the assembly file that moves the connecting components to different locations, the tube and pipe assembly updates appropriately, and the hoses find their new routes when that view is active - in the assembly. Now, when I go to make a drawing of this assembly and bring it in, and I try to create a view of the assembly using this alternate Positional Representation, it will not display the alternate tube routes, only the original. The components update and move to their new locations and orientations but the hose will not budge / update / adjust, no matter how many times I try rebuilding.
One thing I notice, though, is that if I have the assembly file open, and I switch to the alternate representation in the assembly, the drawing will properly display the alternative tubing routes. Is there any way to get both views on the same sheet?
I have found an strange behaviour of derivin part from assembly when position repre is used.
There are lost or moved some part. It seems that this is another bug in Inventor 2013SP1.1.
So after creating a bunch of assemblies with associated presentation and drawing files I was told that each assembly needs multiple representations for different part colors. I would like to be able to change the representation view of my assembly (i.e. from 'Master' to 'Black') in the presentation file I've already made and have the colors update here and in the associated drawing files.
PS - I do know how to change the representation in a new view. So...hindsight 20/20.
I have a main assembly with two major subassemblies with one of them I want the representations to be set as Defualt instead of master but when I do this and change the size of my parts Inventor crashes, if I leave it set to master it works fine but parts with visibility turned off still show in the iam and dwg files. If I try to change the representation after changing dimensions Inventor also crashes. I can individually open the sub assemblies and everything works fine.

1) Rough as received from the foundry
2) Partially machined or rough machined
3) Final machined
What is the most basic bullet-proof way to show this? Three different models?What is the procedure to change the representation to show changes in the model?Why does suppressing a machining feature in one representation change all representations?The rough part is brought into an assembly and the machining or removal of material happens in the assembly.
How to change the view rep in an assembly
(using oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations.Item("Red").activate) -
However I am trying to achieve the same with iLogic in a part file (multi-solid).
I've tried this code here after setting the assembly flexible in the top level but it doesn't work.
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition?.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations(?"Test").Activate
I will be pulling the subassemblies in as read-only parts and I would like to change the positional representation with code in the top level assembly.
I have made an assembly with a lot of "Positions" (in the Representations). See browser.
Is it possible to change/edit one of the Positions (In the Representation tree) to be the Master Position?
We have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser.

why members change position once mirror has been done in Assembly mode.
1..... i complete a sketch and save it.
2....Then i open up a new assebly while in the same project and save that also.
3...I place the sketch in the assembly and then go straight to Design tab and select insert frame a PFC member.
4 Also the sketch is fully constrained before going into assembly.

Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut or marking menu shortcut for visibility? It would be really convenient to be able to shift-click several objects and toggle the visibility of them. I have a mouse with numerous buttons that are mapped to commonly used IV features, but I cannot find a way to map a visibility toggle.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a representation of 10" diameter insulation that will cover the 3" pipe (the thickest one shown in the attached picture). This pipe has been created using the Tube and Piping environment, so I don't know the best method, if there is one, to do it. I tried doing a sweep using the pipe route's center-line, but ran into complications, I may have not been doing it right. All it really has to be is a visual representation so that I can visually check clearances and for presentation purposes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI used to use "Level of detail" to hide components etc for detailing purposes. I now use "Representations" among a few customised views, I have a set search for fasteners.
Question: Is there a way to automate the search (Saved search) and then switch off the visibilty of the items? Preferably some iLogic code?
I have to run the search quite a few times during the design/detailing process, and sometimes things slip through the cracks, esp when I change fastners. (Note, All the fastners are extracted from the CC and saved with a new name and details.) It would be great to just run a rule.

I am trying to create an assembly with different representation. let me take a small example and explain. I am trying to create an assembly with say 2part. 1. A circular base plate of 6in dia (An assembly by itself in my case). 2. A plate on top of that say 4in,3in, 4,5in.
in one representation I want to have the base plate and 4in plate on top with say 0.2in holes going all the way through on 1in bore circle.
In another representation I want to use the same base plate with 3in plate on top with 0.2 in holes on 1.5in bore circle. When I am creating an extrusion in one representation view it is still showing on the other representation too.
I want to know if there is a way to turn off the feature (representation wise) so that when i turn on the 4in plate i can see the 4in holes and when i turn on 3in plate i can see the 3in holes.
I don't want to have multiple ipts for the base plate as i am dealing with an assembly for the base plate. the only difference is the locations of the holes for different top plate. I want to create just one top level assembly.
I've looked and saw quite a few messeges on the same topic but couldn't find some good resolve : I'm in an assembly, trying to hide/supress some component, and it keeps saying that the view is locked (I do see "lock" logos on all the views) and I should unlock it or create a new one, which I don't want - I want the changes to be on the main "master" view)
How do I "unlock" or resolve it?Right clicking on the view doesn't give me any option to unlock it..
I am having problems with creating positional representations. I create simple representations that go from closed to open and when I finish creating the animation I have a position representation called WorkPR1 that overwrites any positional representations I have created. What do I need to do to get my representations to be used or how do I modify the WorkPR1 representation to show what I want?

I'm looping trough positional representations in a assembly and I would like to determine if one of them is failing.

Is there a secret to having the Design View Reps stay on the right settings when using Occurrences.AddUsingIMates? I've got a master top level assembly that I'm bringing other iLogic modules into by using an iLogic form in the master top level assembly. The form calls a rule that makes a copy of the module assembly in the same file location as the master TLA. It then adds the module TLA to the master TLA using iMates, and calls an external rule to copy all the sub files from the module into that file location and replace them in the module TLA. The user then calls the module's configuration form using a button on the master TLA's form.
I've been using a line of code to set the DVR back to default and associative for the module, but now that has stopped working and it immediately goes back to Master after running the rule, or even if I try and set it by hand. But if I bring the same module in and place it using the Place button, it comes in correctly. I've even added a NameValueMap for the DVR optional argument on AddUsingiMates and that hasn't work.
For some multibody parts I use view representation in order to show for example one or more bodies only. For that I lock the view representation. Usually I have more than 3 of them. The part can have different configurations. The problem is that when a new solid is made, it will be visible in the locked view representations also. I thought the lock option should work in the same way like for assemblies, because if you lock the view in an assembly new parts wont be visible.

I have a message pop up when i am trying to save an assembly. it is:
'The current Design View Representaion is locked. Changes againstit will not be saved. If you want to keep those changes please create a new Design View Representation or unlock the current one.'
I've noticed in inv.pro.2012 that after properly locking the link with representation view in idw, saving the files, and then after replacing a part in iam, some of my links in idw views are again unlocked (and I hope you know what that means for the drawing itself). I never had it in inv.pro.2010 and earlier versions.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIf you've had to use different design view representation of the same PART on a drawing in multiple Views at the same time, you already know that whenever you suppress completly a feature, the representation loose the condition stated in the model view and if the suppressed feature is reactivated, it then appear in all view. You have to right-click on the view and select "Apply design View" to reset it, or re-select the design view representation in "Edit view".
Recently I faced a case where i had to build a iLogic multi-body part representing a crate made of either sheet or bar, with a removable top and variable solid for top, sidewall and base, driven trought a in-drawing form! Reason being the customer wanted a easy, useable model for the shipping clerk to generate a custom crate drawing for the crate contractor, therefore freeing precious time for the drafting departement. Usually I would have used occurence visibillity from a assembly, but the document management part of the deal, was too much for the computer illiterate user... So, off i went creating a multi-body part, only to face the aforemention problem with view changing representation due to complete solid suppression.
So here's How-to Set representation view for part in drawing:
The trick is to set every view to it's representation by using the edit window interface code.
The iLogic line to set a View to a specific Design View Representation:
ActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
I use this code in "IF" statement. You must repete the code for each view, removing the "Raster" line force a raster only reaction on the view, and the update must be placed after each view, otherwise it only update the last one.
Example:
If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "AUCUN" Then
ActiveSheet.View("2").View.Suppressed = TrueActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("3").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View2", False)ActiveSheet.View("3").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("4").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View1", False)ActiveSheet.View("4").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
Else If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "CONTREPLAQUÉ" Then
[Code]...
I'm telling the model that the disapearing element "TYPE_COUVERCLE" is driving the representation, only when it change does it fix the view, regenerating or changing the Design View Representation (the TYPE_SIDE and TYPE_BOTTOM are always active or always suppressed in their respectives views, therefore not influencing their respective appearance in other view). If you had multiple dissapearing solid or feature you would have to build a similar code for every one of them...
I have an issue where a two positional representations are showing in the spreadsheet for editing, but not showing in the tree view.
I cannot delete a representation from the spreadsheet.
How can I Unlock the Design View Representation?
