AutoCAD Inventor :: Force Users To Particular Folder When They Save 3D Parts?

Mar 20, 2013

Within my InventorAddin in vb.net we are trying to force users to a particular folder when they save 3D Parts, Drawings etc.

This 'SaveAs' form does indeed fire, but after the 'Inventor' own 'SaveAs' form window. Can we suppress 'Inventors' window or even change that so it points to our preferred location.?

If we do not do this we are goinf to have 3D Drawings in the Parts folder etc etc.

PrivateSub applicationEvents_OnSaveDocument(DocumentObject As Inventor._Document, BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum, Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) Handles applicationEvents.OnSaveDocument
If iApplication.ActiveEditDocument.FileSaveCounter = 0 Then

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy A Folder With Assembly And Parts

Jun 23, 2011

I often want to copy a design (assembly plus used parts) to some other folder as a quick start for some derived work. I  want to be able to work on this copy without influencing the original and visa versa.

The problem is when copying with the windows copy command, the references to the parts point to the original folder. I read that you can use the Copy feature of the Vault for this. But I'm not using the Vault and don't want to.

Pack and Go is also not a good solution because it copies a lot of other stuff and makes a new project file. How can I do this. It seems so a simple operation. But I can not figure out how to do that!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Assembly Drawing To DWG With Parts As Blocks

Jul 8, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way to export or save an assembly drawing to .dwg format (that can be opened by cad or acad mechanical) in such a way that all the parts of the assembly are exported as individual blocks (within the same file) To explain- lets say I have a .i am out of which I create a drawing (.dwg for inventor). Then I export or save this as acad dwg. This acad dwg should have all parts of the assemblies as blocks so that if I want to work on a particular part in the 2d environment of acad, that is possible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Updating Parts (IPT Files) After Modifying It On Assembly Drawing?

Nov 25, 2011

I don't understand why my parts aren't updating when I put a hole through them on the assembly drawing? I would expect the part (.ipt file) to get updated with a hole through it when I save the assembly drawing, however it doesn't. Do I have to change a default setting or does inventor no do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Dimension On Drawing Document Between Two Parts In Assembly

Feb 8, 2010

From a VB.Net program, I'm trying to create a dimension on a drawing document between two parts in an assembly. I can get the parts using component occurrence. The line marked below throws the following error: The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).

As you may see, I have allocated memory for both "Edge" and "Face" (Dim oEdge1 As Face) albeit one is commented out. Attached is the screen shots from the attribute helper add-in. In it, you will notice that the attributes are of type: "Face".

Public Sub CreateDrawingDimension(ByVal Part1 As String, ByVal Part2 As String, ByVal AttName1 As String, ByVal AttName2 As String)
' Get the Active Drawing document
Dim oDrawDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = invApp.ActiveDocument

AutoCAD Inventor :: Printing Drawing Sheet Sets From Assembly BOM Parts List

Nov 27, 2012

I have created an assembly that has a parts list, and in this parts list I have up to 100 mono detail drawings. I would like to know if there is a way to print all of these drawing from that list in a massive plot.

At my previous company we had something like this in AutoCAD where a script was created to look at the drawings and print all drawings mentioned in the assembly BOM and subsequent sub-assemblies, it worked beautifully.

I find that I have to print all drawings to paper or PDF individually.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Parts List In Assembly Drawing To Fill Part Number Column?

Nov 19, 2011

I'm using Autodesk Inventor 2012 SP1 64 Bit on a Windows 7 machine without vault.

I seem to be missing something. I cannot get the parts list in assembly drawing to fill the part number column. See the image below.

The BOM has the part number field filled out as shown below. Is there someway that I need to map the iProperty to the part number column in parts list?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update And Save Assembly Through ILogic In Drawing?

Jul 10, 2013

as a part of automating manufacturing drawings, am trying to include ilogic code in the drawing , that would accept values from the user and store it as "user parameters" and make corresponding changes in the inventor drawing file.So, to replicate my issue on a smaller scale, i had created 2 parts and created an assembly out of these 2 parts. I used the assembly in my drawing.

In the Drawing i created a user parameter .. say "external_param". I am opening the drawing and changing the value of the user parameter through the (Fx) parameter table. 

doc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf external_param >= 50 And external_param <= 99 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 15 'change the length of the blockParameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 3 'change the number of holes in the blockElseIf external_param >= 100 And external_param <= 199 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 40Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 5ElseIf external_param >= 200 And external_param <= 299 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 80Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 6ElseIf external_param >= 300 And external_param <= 399 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 160Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 9End IfRuleParametersOutput()iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True'InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
 
As you can see, i have commented out InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() , im not quite sure what would accomplish the update and save of the assembly document in the background (without prompting for a save/update). I have also tried thisDoc.Save and thisdoc.update. Using these 2 commands along with the InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() or iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone caused Inventor to Crash.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Assembly Constraints With Parameters From Parts In Assembly?

Oct 30, 2012

it is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.

For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Sub Assembly From Parts From Main Larger Assembly?

Oct 31, 2011

My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.

When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.

I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.

I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.

In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?

Dec 9, 2013

Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing?  I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.

For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3.  "Worry when there's something to worry about."

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dragging Parts In Folder

When I drag parts in the browser to a folder I created half the time they end up just above. I always wait for the folder to highlight blue before dropping but why don't part go there as requested all the time?

Is this a step up on my station, precision of the cursor? My colleagues don't seem to have this problem but we can't see any differences in our step up except I use a different mouse.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Moving Virtual Parts To The Folder

Dec 8, 2013

I have a script that is perfectly works in 2012 inventor pro version. It moves newly added virtual parts into the VIRTUAL_PARTS folder. Part of script is below:
 
Dim oFolder As BrowserFolder Dim oTopNode As BrowserNode oTopNode = oPane.TopNode() Dim oTopNodeOcc As BrowserFoldersEnumerator oTopNodeOcc = oTopNode.BrowserFolders For Each oFolder In oTopNode.BrowserFolders i = i + 1 Next If i = 0 Then oFolder = oPane.AddBrowserFolder("VIRTUAL_PARTS", oOccurrenceNodes) Else For Each oFolder In oTopNode.BrowserFolders If oFolder.Name = "VIRTUAL_PARTS" Then For Each oOcc In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences If TypeOf oOcc.Definition Is VirtualComponentDefinition Then oNode = oPane.GetBrowserNodeFromObject(oOcc) End If 'MsgBox(oTopNodeOcc(1).Name) oTopNodeOcc(1).Add(oNode) Next Else ' do nothing End If Next End If 

In 2014 pro it works only once, when I add first virtual part. It creates a folder and moves it there. When I add 2nd virtual part it gives me a error

see screenshot below.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copying CC Parts To Custom CC Folder

Apr 4, 2013

how to copy parts from the existing CC to newly created custom folders within the CC.  We are now just starting to look into which parts we want to be in our custom folders moving forward.

Once we copy them over, the plan is to change the descriptions and possibly some dimension values.  Because we are in the early stages of revamping our companies part number scheme the thought was to keep the out of the box P/N's currently showing in the family table of these parts.  Some of these parts have already been used as "Standard" (not custom) from out of the box in the CC and these said parts have already been checked into the vault.  If we are not changing the part numbers in the copied parts family table, is this going to create errors when checking these copied parts into the vault?  Part of me is saying I am going to get the "This part already exists in the Vault" error message being they are standard parts  But, the other part of me says technically they are different so maybe this wont be an issue.  I am looking for confirmation of this.

I also would like to know if it is possible, when you have two separate custom folders in the CC can you copy the same component into both folders changing only slight things.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Deriving Parts From Assembly?

Nov 20, 2011

I am designing a component whose internal mechanism is housed in a plastic shell. I want to use the boss feature in the shell so I can hold together the components internally, but the boss feature is only available in the part workspace, but in order for me to know where the internal components are so I can design my shell accurately, I have to be in the assembly workspace.

Now, if I opened the shell as a part alone, and imported (through the Derive command) the parts that need to be fit into the shell, they will appear at random positions, and because you cannot create constraints in the Part Workspace, I have no effective way of holding them where they should go.

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM - Best Way To Organize Parts In Assembly

Mar 15, 2012

I have 4 columns in BOM that I call out in Parts Lists on my drawings.

I need to be able to organize parts in my assembly somehow and to be able to display if needed (on Parts List) only parts belonging to one category (level?).

I could do it by creating another custom iproperty in a part template and each part would belong to a particular group. Then I could sort them in BOM in .iam environment and have particular category visible on Parts List with the other categories with visibility turned off.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly - Parts Not Visible

AutoCAD Inventor :: Referencing Parts In Assembly?

I have a rather complex assembly that I didn't draft but I am trying to work with. Most of my experience is with Solidworks. I'm trying to create a hole in a plate that lines up with a hole in a different part in the same assembly. I know there is probably a way to create the hole in the assembly and reference the other part but I dont know how.
