AutoCAD Inventor :: Code For Thumbnails Fails In 2014

May 2, 2013

I have a code to shows a thumbnail of inventor drawings and it works in inventor 2012 but gives an error in inventor 2014 (trail)

It shows a thumbnail of inventor drawings and I used the examples on this website:

[URL]

The filelocation of the document is correct (i checked the error message with catch)

Try
Dim doc As Document = oApp.Documents.Open(FileDir & "" & DisplayItem & ".idw", False)
Dim thumbnail As stdole.IPictureDisp = doc.Thumbnail
Dim img As Image = Compatibility.VB6.IPictureDispToImage(thumbnail)
Me.PictureBox1.Image = img
Catch
MsgBox(FileDir & "" & DisplayItem & ".idw")
End Try

Is there a change in the way stdole.IPictureDisp or Compatibility.VB6.IPictureDispToImage(thumbnail) works?

Perhaps a change in how inventor handles thumbnails?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet Plotting 2014 Fails

Sep 23, 2013

I've been try to use the Multi Sheet Plot routine that's provided with the Inventor 2014 install.

I'm attempting to plot both Vaulted and Non-Vaulted idw and Inventor .dwg files.

Regardless of drawing type or location, the Multi Sheet Plot routine is unable to print any files.  The application reports a failed while reading  error.  None of the settings within the application seem to have any effect on eliminating the read file errors.

What steps must I follow in order to successfully print multiple sheets of a designated printer?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Deployment Creation Fails

Nov 8, 2013

I have tried to create deployments on the network for my products but I keep getting a "copy function fails" error once I start it.

When you first start to make a deployment it asks for a Administrative image path which I have been point at a network location (\serverpath, etc).
I did make sure that the path length was less than 73 characters (due to a previous error).

It was suggested that I make the deployment on the local machine and then move it to the network location?

However, it does not appear that you allowed to pick a local directory for this (see attached).

AutoCAD Inventor :: IFeature Fails When Making Table?

Aug 23, 2012

I'm trying to make an Ifeature of SAE ports and I can make the Ifeature just fine but when I try making a table for the different size it fails.

I attached the base part I extracted the Ifeature. The two sizes I edited in the table SAE #2 and #6 both fail while the original size SAE #8 (and all the other unedited sizes) work.

the forum doesn't seem to like .ide files which is the ifeature file

Update: Well it seems changing the thread size fixes the part about the ifeature not working properly. However if I try moving the ifeature it fails. I'm guessing some geometry isn't "following" the base feature.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Save As PDF Fails - Cannot Create Font

Sep 3, 2013

I am getting this error every time i try to save a drawing as PDF :

   Published with a warning(s) Cannot create font

As you can see the font has no name so I can't install any missing font.

I found out that this error occurs only in drawings created from the company template wich I believe was created years ago. If I use any other template from inventor everithing is ok.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pro 2012 Fails To Load After Splash Screen?

Mar 5, 2012

I'm a school teacher in the PLTW program that uses Inventor extensively in my classroom. Our district operates under a 125 seat license. The issue I've run into is on my personal computer (Windows Vista, x64) and is therefore outside the realm of the usual IT guy's duties. The Inventor software was installed on my laptop by the PLTW training staff during my summer session. I *think* it is a stand alone install of the program.

What happens is after I launch Autodesk Inventor, I can see the splash screen, and the inventor.exe task appears in the task manager, however after a few seconds, the splash screen disappears and the program does not launch. There is no error message.

This is confusing since until quite recently I am sure that Inventor was working hunky dory. Also, all the other Autodesk programs seems to function normally (Fusion, Design and Review)

I've tried a repair and reinstall, but the problem still persists. Also, I updated the install with SP 1, but this had no effect either.

I have recently updated my display drivers (ATI Radeon), however, I tried reverting back to the older drivers and still the problem persists, so I don't think it is graphics driver related

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Copy / Paste For General Tables Fails?

Feb 6, 2013

Using RMB to Copy a general table from one drawing & RMB paste to another has no result.

But using the CTRL + C & CTRL + V for the identical task works fine.

Looks like a bug. It's annoying at worst but hopefully easy for programmers to fix.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Leader With Custom IProperty Fails?

Dec 21, 2011

I have gotten in the habit of using a leader text with a custom iproperty to do material call outs on my drawings. I have been doing the first one then copy/pasting the leader onto each piece i want to call out. 

This worked flawlessly in 2010 and has worked well previously in 2012. For some reason it is not working at all in this particular .idw.

work flow is to create the first instance, copy. right click outside the view border and select paste. Then attach to as many different parts as needed.

attached is the error message I get.

The custom iproperty is text. 1/2 a36 or 4x4x3/8 Angle

AutoCAD Inventor :: Fails To Follow All Assembly Updates At IDW Of Mid To Big Files

May 19, 2013

I use IDW file as “fine” checker of my assemblies design. Sometimes it is much easier to see general picture in variety of spots and set dimensions to check the designed assembly using IDW file.

Working within mid to big assemblies Inventor mostly fails to follow the opened assembly IDW file with actual assembly. When switch from assembly to IDW Inventor may indicate the update sign at IDW but finally did not update all changes. After the “Update” sign has been used there is no any chance to force Inventor to make one more update. I mean there is no any manual update tool or way to force one more update. The only one way is to close the IDW and open it again. It quite time consuming process.

The second problem opened IDW file is automatically updates somewhere in background and in most cases makes troubles of changing parameters in assembly or subassemblies since it somehow can catch up changes first when it opened but not active. User cannot prolong working without either updating IDW or closing it. Either way it takes too much time.

some ways to manually force IDW update and to postpone IDW files from automatically update in background?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Windows Explorer Thumbnails

Feb 20, 2013

I have is that after so long thumbnails in windows explorer stop loading just shows generic Autodesk image(.ipt, .iam, .stp, .idw, .dwg ect.). Causing me to be unsure on which file I'm actually opening. Causing me to have to restart the computer.

What is weird is you are able to see the thumbnails in the thumbnail of the parent folder but when you open the folder they aren't shown. If you open up properties it shows a thumbnail.

Closing and opening a new window doesn't fix this error.This was an issue I had experienced with 2011 and am still experiencing with 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator Change - Update Description Property Fails

Nov 5, 2012

Parts generated with the FG can be changed with the 'Change' option within the Frame Generator menu in the Design -tab on the ribbon.

However, when I change the size of the profile thru this menu all properties will be changed according to the settings of the table in the Content Center, except the Description property.

The Description column in the table is configured with the size of the profile and is mapped to 'project.description'.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Thumbnails For Parts / Assemblies

Nov 13, 2012

We have thousands of parts & assemblies, and want to create a thumbnail image of each for use with our production software. Unfortunately task scheduler only exports to solid models, not images. How to achieve this via macros, VB or iLogic. The process would go something like:

1) open (each) file
2) turn 'all work features off' (not essential but it would be nice so work planes don't show up in the thumbnail)
3) go to 'home view'
4) zoom to extents or zoom all
5) 'save copy as' to a set location (not same location as part or assy) with file name of "<PartNumber>.png" (not same as original filename)
6) turn 'all work features on' (if we managed to turn them off)
7) close (and repeat process for the remaining parts & assy's).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Tool Fails If Adaptive Reference Sketch Is Deleted And Recreated

Jun 10, 2013

The hole tool will not let me complete the holes if I delete the cross part references & re-create them again.

Note that I had to change some adaptive hole locations to follow a part that was moved & I couldn't get adaptivity turned on for all components involved (adaptivity grayed out on actual part to change). Not sure why I could turn adaptivity back on. So I opted to just recreate the cross part hole references in the parts hole sketch.

I find I have to now delete the holes completely & start over which causes extra work in IDW & IPN files downstream.

Is this as planned or am I doing something wrong. This used to be easy in 2012.
