AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Setup To Use Standard Assembly?
Mar 21, 2013
When we use the Productivity/Add Assembly functionality, it produce a Weldment Assembly instead of a Standard Assembly.
How do we change the setup to use a Standard Assembly?

In our drawing office we use Inventor in a mining materials handling environment. Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?
We use IV 2013 Professional on Windows 7 64 bit.

Is there a way to set up the BOM in the assembly file to show the top assembly as a line item with all it's children (and their children) listed underneath?

Long time Autocad user but now am moving most of my work across to Autodesk Inventor.
Some of the work I do is with companies that their parts are standard components that will not change.
So I am using Inventor to automate the drawings based on their requirements. For example if it needs to be 4m high. then to use 2 x 2m sections. Currently I have create different assemblies of the different potential heights that I can switch between using ilogic but I need to be able to shift the top truss arch depending on how high the truss is.

I'm trying to set up a sliding/no separation contact within and assembly for FEA purposes. I want to eliminate all moments (torque) between two pieces while still allowing one to impart force on another. When evaluating constraints, I'm seeing moments are infect being passed through. The guide mentions this contact for planer and cylindrical objects but makes no reference to spherical surfaces.
Is it possible to accomplish this type of a contact on spherical surfaces?

Changes all dimensions, balloons, ect (define more if you want) to current object default in active standard.
Sub ChangeDimStyle()'J.Kriek 2012 Dim oApp As Application Dim oIdw As DrawingDocument Dim oDim As DrawingDimension Dim oBalloon As Balloon Dim oDimStyle As DrawingStandardStyle Dim oSheet As Sheet Set oApp = ThisApplication

I couldn't found a way to change the materials of the standard parts in Inventor, so i made a (quick and dirty) VBA program so i can change the material and color of the publiced (and used in projects) parts.

I am trying to have one drawing with B size and E size sheets I am trying to get the border, title block and standard to change when the sheet format changes. I can get it to work when I run the rule but have hard time find information to just change when sheet format changes. And I can't find anything or I should say a sample of how to. I think I found the code just don't know how to make it work. Here is what I have so far.
SubMain()
IfActiveSheet.Size="E"Then
ActiveSheet.TitleBlock="G&T (E)"
ActiveSheet.Border="G&T Border (E)"
EndIf
IfActiveSheet.Size="B"Then
[code].......

Within an IDW file, you can go to the Styles Editor, then click on a standard. On the General tab, there's a drop down for the unit of length.
Provide the code so that I can change this setting from Inches to mm with an iLogic rule?

I have been using Face Robot in SoftImage for the lipsync feature.
I have imported an obj model and it animates well. To get other facial feature animation, I import a c3d mocap file and blend it by setting the weight options for the jaw and lips to zero.
All great, except when I enable rotation and translation to get head motion (rather than just brow and cheeks etc) the head snaps back 180 deg, leaving the neck collar in the original position. The model now has a broken neck.
If I view the c3d 'face markers' in SoftImage or Motionbuilder, it looks like the 'face forward' axis is -Z rather than +Z, and upside down. A 180 deg rotation about X.
How do I fix this? Is there a standard axes setup for c3d files?

I'm having some problems with drawing paths in Illustrator. Everytime I draw a new path, this new path shows up in the standard settings. The 'brush defenition' turns back to 'basic' and the 'variable width profile' back to 'uniform'. It would save me a lot of time if I could change those standard settings into what I prefer.

I have an assembly of stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.
And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.

What's the best way to do this?
1. Model parts in steel using metal-steel color.
2. Create assembly from parts.
3. Leave metal-steel as default view.
4. Create new view rep with assembly colored blue.
There are two ways I can do this:
A. Create new view rep "Blue".
B. Select all parts and apply blue color at assembly level. View rep associations are broken.
OR
D. Create new view reps in each part "Blue" and make the part blue in that view rep.
E. Create assembly view rep "Blue" and apply part "Blue" view reps. View rep associations are kept.
A-B is quick but dirty, although in Default view the associations will be kept.
D-E can be tedious in large assemblies.
Is there a quicker way to change color but keep associations?

I am using Inventor 2014. I have an assembly where one parts has to be trimmed after assembly. When I do the cut in assembly, the part turns to a different color (black). My current view rep in assembly is Default.

I attach a assembly file.
In front view, I can see all elevation drawing (DWG file)
but, when import this file to IDW sheet, I can't anything . I can look at 3D object section only.

Before using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?
For example:
I generated "Part1.ipt" and "Part2.ipt",...... (I have hundred of member)
In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.
Which is the iLogic Code I should to use?
Inventor 2009, WIN XP.
Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 (64 Bit) SP2
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5645
12.0 GB Memory

there is a way to change the template used for a part or assembly. The problem is that I created a template to fit my needs but I had to update it and the update doesn't effect the parts created with the old version one. How do update the templates of the files created using the old template?

I wish I can open my general assembly BOM and set the proper Materials to my all my parts after migration from 2012 release.
But I cannot change Material for the some custom part in the assembly BOM in the Parts Only tab. Parts refusing to change a Material have special symbol and I guess it means “promoted assembly” – no info regarding these symbols.
I can change any Material in Structured and Model Data tabs but it is extremely inconvenient for the big assembly.
[URL]....
The questions is: Why those promoted assemblies have inaccessible Material in the Parts Only tab?
I have similar subassemblies built in similar way as you can see fro video, but one is treated as promoted assembly and other as promoted part, the question is what possible difference between those is?

My part color is yellow. In the assembly It shows as gray.
I cant seem to get it to change to match the part color. I used to know why this happens and knew how to fix it but seem to have forgot. How do you get this to work?
I also recently loaded 2014, but had the same problem with 2013, so its not a release issue.

I declared a BOM as "indivisible" when I converted an assembly to a welded assembly and currently I need to show the BOM as "Only parts" to insert it in a drawing. There is any way to convert the BOM style?

how can I change different colour in a assembly drawing. That means in a single drawing there is so many parts assembled I want to change the different parts in a different colour.

Change pattern ilogic. How do you change the distance and quantity in an assembly with ilogic?
It is simple in a part but in an assembly the parameters and equations do show.

I got a problem with editing angle constraint in assemblies. I tried edit property of constraint but it didn't move model. Simply changing Angle attribute of constraint item don't work.
Only way I achieved movemenet is
if(oOccurrence.Constraints[i].Name.Equals(name))
{
AngleConstraint a = (AngleConstraint)oOccurrence.Constraints[i];
Object oEntity1 = a.EntityOne;
Object oEntity2 = a.EntityTwo;
String sVal = "" + angle + " deg";
[Code]...
but this is really slow, as much as changing throught parameter:
if (assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i].Name == "d655")
{
Inventor.Parameter invParam = assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i];
invParam.Value = Math.PI * angle/180;
inventorApplication.ActiveDocument.Update();
}

There are instances where we need to add an extrusion in an assembly (.iam) to show labeling that needs to be done on the floor during assembly.
So we do a new sketch to the face where we need to add the "label", we use text and extrude it 0.001" deep (cut).
On the drawing (.idw) you can see it no problem, but in the model (.iam) itself it's hard to see since the faces that result from the extrusion are the same color as the participant part.
My question is this: Is it possible to change the color of the face of the extrusion?
It's not super important but it would be a good thing to show that detail as we sometimes print a color version of the 3D view for prototyping, troubleshooting, etc.

I have an assembly that includes iPart.
For example there are:
C: Part1
C: Part1 Part1-01
C: Part1 Part1-02 ...
C: Part2
C: Part2 Part2-01
C: Part2 Part2-02 ...
I need a macro to make the change in the assembly. You need to replace Part1-04 to Part2-04. Which method should apply for this?

I'm configuring a band with different supports. Each support is configured with a range; 600-900, 900-1200, 1200-1500 etc. those ranges can be adjust by 50mm and those steps are specified by the pos reps (see attached image).
All the different supports are put in the top assembly and in this assembly I want to switch between the positional representations. I tried to use:
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations("MyPosRep").Activate
But it won't work. I guess I have to replace "ComponentDefinition" in one way or another to the component name, but I don't know how.

This is my first time using Inventor but I've been using ProE for several years in school. A friend of mine told me about a feature in ProE where you are able to define a part and then define one of the lengths as it is placed into an assembly. For example I would define a 2x4 part with a length of 84inches. If I wanted a 2x4 of 68inches in my assembly I would use the same file but simply change the 84 to 68. How can I do this with Inventor?
