View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Remove Iproperty Mass Unit String From Mass Value In Text String?
Oct 3, 2011I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!
AutoCad 2D :: Edit One Text String And Same Change Can Affect Another Text String

Nov 16, 2012i failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Converting Double To String Creates Inaccuracy?
Aug 6, 2013I have this interresting problem, it occured just here, in other situations, the script works fine.
I am counting length from coordinates:
Command: (setq bod1 ppo_bod1)(-0.821965 -1.7232 0.0)Command: (setq bod2 ppo_bod2)(25.428 13.1268 0.0)Command: !mfac0.025Command: (setq x (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (car bod2) (car bod1))) mfac))))1050Command: (setq y (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))))593Command: (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))14.85Command: (/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)594.0Command: (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))"593.99999998"Command: (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)))593
As you can see, the conversion from 594.0 (real) to string causes an inaccuracy, which is strange, because the length really is 594.0

Formula:

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Changes Custom IProperties Type From Number To Text
Nov 2, 2011I am using ilogic in Inventor 2011 to update my iproperties when I save a .dwg file. I am having problems with some custom iProperties I have created that are of the type 'number' and are initially set to 0 (zero). After the iLogic rule has run and the user has entered a numeric value the type of the custom iproperty has changed to 'text'.
The ilogic code I am using is:
If iProperties.Value("Custom", "Nominal ID") = 0 Then
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Nominal ID") = InputBox("Enter The Nominal ID (Enter 0 if no value is available)", "Nominal ID", 0)
Custom_iProp_Nom_ID = iProperties.Value("Custom", "Nominal ID")
End If
I am using Vault 2011 and would like to map this property to a numeric property so I can perform <= and >= searches.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Punch Converting Text To Sketched Symbol?
Nov 5, 2013I have been given the task of figuring out a way to have etching placed on our parts to show the part number of the part. The end goal is to get the parts laser cut but have the part number etched into the part.Is there a way to convert text (i.e. 12345) to a sketched symbol that the punch feature would recognize and then add it to the library? Right now we are using 2012 but will be upgraded to 2014 within the next 6 months.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Tie Engraved Or Embossed Text To Part Number IProperty
Oct 26, 2012I had wanted to find a way to engrave/emboss the part number on a part model and have it be parametrically tied to the part number iProperty. Since it doesn't appear that I can create a text box and insert the iProperty directly, here's what I did to work around this. (I setup my part templates to have this out of the box....)
1. Within, the IPT file, add a user text parameter called "PartNo" and set its initial value to any text value.
2. Create your sketch for your text to be engraved. Insert the User parameter you just created.
3. Create the engraving/embossing for your text.
4. Create the following iLogic rule:
' Requires a User Text Parameter called "PartNo" prior to running' Set the appropriate event trigger to tasteIf Parameter("PartNo") <> iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") ThenParameter("PartNo") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()End If
5. I set this rule to fire using the "iProperty Change" event trigger. So if the iProperty is set or changed, your text will update. Obviously, you can set this to run with whatever trigger you like.

AutoCAD .NET :: Attribute Reference Text String
Sep 4, 2013I change a block's attributes programmatically using thisfunction I created:
private void UpdateAttributes(Database database, Detail det) { using (Transaction tr = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { //Grab the BlockReference the detail refers to. BlockReference block = (BlockReference)tr.GetObject(det.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead); //Iterate over the Attribute ids. foreach (ObjectId [code].......
You can ignore the Detail and Detail Attribute objects as they are also user-defined. Also note that this function expects the database to be currently open for working on.
Everything in this function works fine, but there is a strange quirk that becomes noticeable only when I use this function to edit an attribute that has its "Invisible" property set to "No".
Below, is the original block that is edited via this function:
As you can see, the block has a number with 4 digits (for our purposes, call this the Block Number).
AutoCad :: Keep Original String In Text Override?
Aug 15, 2011I know it is easy to enter special characters in using “%%” escape sequence. However, if I am not entering in single or multiline text, but rather in a dimension annotation’s “override” field, I found that the newly entered text completely overrides the original dimensional annotation.
For example, if originally I had a diameter of 7.98, and I would like to put a Φ sign in front of it to make Φ7.98, but it seems that there is no way to preserve the original content of 7.98 together with the Φ sign.
Is it possible to keep the original measurement within the string? What is the special character representing the original measurement?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Replacing Text Of MText And DBText Entities With Some String Value
Jun 15, 2012I was writing code for my custom .net extension dll and one of the procedure involved therein was to replace the Text of MTEXT and DBTEXT entities with some predetermined Text String. I am using C#, AutoCAD 2012, and Visual Studio 2010. Here is the part of code wherein I am trying to replace the Text String of the MTEXT or DBTEXT entities.
foreach (SelectedObject selectedObject in selectionSet) { Entity currentEntity = transaction.GetObject(selectedObject.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, false) as Entity; if (currentEntity == null) { continue; } if (currentEntity.GetType() == typeof(MText)) { ((MText)currentEntity).Contents = textToCopy; } else { ((DBText)currentEntity).TextString = textToCopy; } } transaction.Commit();
The issue is that the text of the MTEXT or DBTEXT is not getting replaced with the string I am trying to. I debugged the code and it correctly hits the setting of MText.Contents == "Some String" and also transaction.commit(). But the text of the MTEXT still remains to the old value. Is this the correct way of changing the text of MTEXT / DBTEXT through the .Net API.
