Aug 7, 2013I have a problem with using the excel spreadsheet to hold my parameters and then making them auto update in the model.
I have the excel 2003 spreadsheet saved in the same folder in the projects directory as the model. When I create the spreadsheet and enter the parameters and values etc I save and close the file.
When I am in inventor 2013 64 bit with SP1 installed, I open the model and can link the spreadsheet to the model and the model reflects the values in the spreadsheet. I also click update on the parameters dialog box.
I then open the spreadsheet and make some changes to the values, save the file and even go to the extreme of closing the file. When I go back into Inventor it recognises there has been some changes in the underlying spreadsheet. The update button is active in the tool bar. However trying to update the models by what ever means does not update the model parameters to those in the spreadsheet. Even closing the model and reopening it does not make a difference.
The only way I can get this to work is disconnecting the file and then reconnecting the file through the links option in the parameters dialog box. Then the model reflects the correct values and updates the model accordingly.
My concern is there is quite a bit of stuff on the net about 2013 not working with 2014 inventor anyway.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Virtual Memory Counter Won't Refresh
Jan 3, 2012I'm currently using Inventor Professional 2012, and have been experiencing problems with virtual memory usage. In past versions of Inventor, the small bar graph counter at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (Virtual memory counter? Not sure what to call it...) would "re-fresh" after closing a model, drawing, etc. (i.e. Once closing the file, the counter would change from yellow to green, bringing the virtual memory usage back to zero). However, this isn't happening with 2012, and I'm not sure if the problem is the way Inventor was installed onto my workstation, or if it's a problem with the hardware. A temporary solution has been to shut down Inventor when the bar graph gets too far into the yellow range (or red), and then starting up Inventor again.
Specs for my workstation are as follows: Windows 7 (32-bit), processor is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3503 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 3GB RAM.
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Sketch Curve Counter
Apr 17, 2013Much of our work is structures fabricated from steel plate. One of our practices is to add a note " (SK) " to the description of plates that have a detailed sketch somewhere in the fab drawing set (simple rectangular or circular plates with no additional features do not get these detailed sketches). The actual "detailed sketch" is just a dimensioned drawing view of that plate.
I've been working on automating this process so that Inventor can actually determine for the user whether or not the sketch is required. I have it in certain part templates by default. Other templates add the note automatically through iLogic when certain plate features are selected, or when the model consists of multiple part features.
This leaves one remaining case that the current set of rules can't catch - when the user creates cutouts, notches, etc. by modifying the sketch for the original extrusion. I have determined a method for catching that case, but haven't yet figured out how to program it.
What I want to do is count all of the lines, arcs, and circles in the first model sketch. If that count returns a number other than 4 lines, the note will be added. If any arcs are detected, the note will be added. If any circles are detected with lines also present, the note will be added. There may be other cases that will come up in testing that need to be covered, but I ran into an issue before I got that far. Construction geometry messes up the count - I need a way to exclude it.
Below is the test code I have so far for the counter. what techniques I can use to get construction geometry out of the count. This code doesn't include the provisions for actually adding the note yet - I'm just trying to get the counter working right first. Instead it's just displaying the total count in a message box for test purposes.
oDoc=ThisDoc.Document
oSketch=oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches.Item(1)
LineCount=oSketch.Sketchlines.count
CircleCount=oSketch.SketchCircles.count
ArcCount=oSketch.SketchArcs.count
TotalCount=LineCount+CircleCount+ArcCount
MessageBox.Show("Total Count "&TotalCount, "Title")
AutoCAD Inventor :: Simulation Testing Counter Balances On Fabrications
Dec 5, 2012In inventor 2013 simulation what is the way to test a fabrication for counter balanced weight stability?
If you see the enclosed rough assembly. I have been playing with variouse stuff and not getting the results i want.
The idea is to work out how much weight the arm will hold without tipping over. and then by increasing the base size and weight or arm length i can then work out the ultimate design for my needs.
The way i want it to work is so that the base is just sitting on the floor as in real life with gravity and weight keeping it there and then as i apply weight to the arm see the tipping or load effect.
This upload is simple and i constrained the base via an axis on the edge put as soon as i run the symulation it just tips over and it shouldnt?
I have tried many other things but get a variety of results like the base suddenly flying off and a thousand miles an hout due to the contacts used ?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Dimension Counter Bores On Both Sides Of A Plate
May 9, 2013Any way to show clearly that there are counter bores on both sides of a plate. It does show the dotted lines for when it is on the down side of the plate, but in some sections i have a counter bore of the same diameter on both sides of the plate. Is my best bet just to to create two drawings of the upper and lower faces?
Also i've been trying to use the hole tables, something thats new to me, and i can get all the holes coming up, but im unable to get them to show up as actual counter bores, instead it shows up as two entries.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Information Regarding Counter Shrunk Holes Exposed In API
Oct 28, 2013what information regarding countersunk holes is exposed in the Inventor API? Can we extract individual values for the countersink diameter, the countersink angle and the through/straight hole diameter and depth?
While I'm at it, is there an in-depth reference document (PDF) for all of this information. The only thing I could find was an image of the object model but that only gets you so deep and doesn't have an explanation of any of the properties shown on the chart. (I tried searching for various hole-related properties shown on the chart and got zip.)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Testing A Counter Balanced Design In Dynamic Simulation
Apr 17, 2012If i want to see how stable a design is before it tips over after adding counter balanced weights etc. How would i set this up in dynamic simulation?
what i want to do is to mess about by distributing weights at key points to see how the model behaves / how stable it is, and i want to test it until it falls over, this will enable me to test it to it's limits.
I assume i need to place the design on a surface / floor with gravity on and set to the floor. it must be free standing initially.
the item needs to sit on the floor but must not be held back by any constraints so what contact do i use, would it be a spatial contact between the floor and the base component?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Surface Model Into Solid Model?
Jan 15, 2013My problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading To Create Dump Surface

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Linking Constraint Parameters To Action Parameters?
Sep 21, 2011Im wondering if its possible to link either a constraint dimension to an action parameter or vice versa. Or using a linear parameter's value in an user parameter formula.
Its a 2D cylinder, for winding purposes we just have a rectangle, with a distance from the Y axis for radial.
Parametric dimensions: B=thickness, C=Lenght, R=radius
User parameter: A=Diameter (R*2), Mass in kg ((((pi*(c*b))*(A+B))*1.25)/1000)/1000
For the BOM, i need A, B, C & mass
For drawing references for peoples on the floor, to distinquish a cylinder from a stick, we put lines at the top and bottom of the cylinder, 1mm distance inbetween them.
I figured that making a linear parameter + stretch on the thickness to replace the B parametric dimension, allowed me to make an array of that line, with increments of 1mm as i stretch the cylinder. The thing is that the mass formula cant take the value of action parameters....
Other alternative is to keep the B parametric dimension, and add a linear parameter as above for the array. But then i have 2 places to adjust, and from a test i made, if i change the R dimension, the linear one does not follow. Its very frustrating.
What i was hoping autocad would be able to do is distance1 for array to be same as B dimension, but it does not allow me to do that, unless im missing something.

Xara :: Screen Dump - 25% Too Big
Feb 20, 2011I was taking screen dumps of images from Xara3D and pasting them into Xara Xtreme Pro 4, and noticed that the pasted images at 100% are larger than the original screens! I have to set the Xara zoom to 80% to get the correct size. I have never noticed this before, but usually use two monitors so the size comparison never registered.
Have I changed a setting somewhere in Xara Xtreme regarding pixel size somewhere?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Grouping Of Parameters
Nov 26, 2013I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following:
Parameters who can vary for lets say a rectangular profile with:
80x50x2
80x50x3
100x50x2
That these data sets/parameters are grouped/linked to eachother in the Parametric Table.
So when I'm doing my analyses with the profile of 100 and I change the wall thicknes from 2 to 3mm the 100 changes to the 80 variant automaticly, or asks me which version I want.
It would be handy to avoid mistakes with non excisting combinations of profiles.
Is there a custom app for Inventor that allows you to manage parameters easier? (Grouping wise to keep a better overvieuw.)

View 8 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Reference Parameters
Oct 9, 2013I'm having some difficulties with iLogic and reference parameters.
I have made a tube with a weird shape and I want to measure the longest length. So I have to cut the tube in a certain angle in relation with the center to measure the length.
The problem is that this angle is really hard to calculate.
So I tried making a rule where I can make my angle shift x degree and then measure the longest length. If the measurement is larger the previous measurement the angle will shift x degree again until the measurement is smaller than the previous.
So I made my starting angle 0 degree, I know this is for a fact not the longest length. And then I tried this rule. (before making a While rule).
And I noticed that on screen the measurement changes. But the reference - parameter stays the same. So it gives me the measurement on the starting angle & after rotating it again gives me the starting angle.
How can I get the parameter to update itself in between?
