AutoCAD Inventor :: Format Number With Leading And Trailing Zeros?
Nov 8, 2013
I'm trying to format a number with leading and trailing zeros. If I only needed trailing zeros I'd set the number as a parameter and force the formating there. I tried using the Format function but it fails and I found one other instance of someone trying it and it failing also.
For example I want to change 2.125 into 02.13
P.S.Just for fun I went to the VBA editor and tried this.
debug.Print format(2.125,"00.00") 02.13
Works perfectly in the VBA but not in iLogic

I figured out how to change the precision of the X-Y location dimensions in a hole table, but is there a way to turn off trailing zeros? I have turned them off in my styles, but for some reason the styles don't effect hole tables. Maybe I just don't know where to look?

I have a client that wants the part number to be driven by size with a catch.The part number goes like this:
625A3-A01.000M0.500 or 625A3-A10.000M1.000
625A3 = Profile Threaded or unthreaded rod
A= material type A-Mild Steel, B-Ground and polish rod, C-Stainless steel and so on
01.000 is the Length of the part (this is an issue will explain at bottom)
M= thread code K-no tapping, L-10-32 UNC, M-1/4-20 UNC, N- 5/16-18 and so on
.500= Diameter of rod ( nothing bigger than 9 inches)
Ok I have everything working but the Length the issue with this is the leading and trailing zeros and extra..If the length is 1/2 inch the number needs to show as 00.5000 if it is 1 inch needs to show as 01.000 if it was 10 inches it needs to show like 10.000.
Now this is the problem I am having if it is 1/2 I get this 0.500 but I need that extra 0 in the front like 00.500.
I am also having issues when the number is 4 inches or a rounded number 10,9,5 no matter if I have the parameter set to show trailing zeros it seems to work and not work so I get 4 and not 4.000 even in this I would have to get ilogic to add a zero to it like 04.000.
How can I get ilogic to look at the number of characters in the Length and if it is less than the what I need add the others.
If LENGTH >= Len(5) ThenParameter("L_1") = "0" & LENGTH & ".000"ElseParameter("L_1") = LENGTHEnd IfiProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")= "625A3-" & Mat_Code & L_1 & Tap_Code & Rod

I can get the leading zeros in the architectural dim style. My problem is I cant seem to get the leading zero in the parts list format. If I edit the parts list, then format column, there is no option to include leading zeros like in the dim styles.
We could format the parts list with the leading zero before....This is in 2013, BTW..

We've created our own door tags. Now in ACA 2013 the doors that have sizes that end in zero (like 3'-0") are showing a zero, a decimal and three trailing zeros in the zero value.

I'm trying to suppress trailing zeros in a surface slope label in run:rise format. Basically, if it's a 2 to 1 slope, I want it to read 2:1 or if it's a 2.5 to 1 to read as 2.5:1.
I found this blog showing how to do it for line slopes, but I think it's not able to work using the run:rise format.

How do I drop trailing zeros for numbers that end in zero, but keep a 0.1 precision for all other numbers in a point label style?
ie. I want to have points display 702 and 708.5 in the same point label style.

How can I add leading Zeros to the CurrentSheetNumber Field? I know that the code for this field is: %<AcSm Sheet.Number>% . How can I modify this code so that the CurrentSheetNumber is displayed in the form 0001 instead of just 1?

I am trying to create a station-offset label style that will drop the trailing zeros in the offset section - e.g. 15' instead of 15.00', but if the offset is not at a whole number, e.g. 15.01, etc. it will display the entire offset.
I created two expressions: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
and this one: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)!=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
I then created two offset components, one called truncated, and one called full, and assigned the heights to match the expressions.
I have attached the file, the style is ACHD-Sta Off-Rt [copy]

System variable to keep a stacked fraction with the leading number?
We open the same drawing on different computers at work and on one computer the number will be 21/2 but on the next computer that opens the same dwg the 1/2 will have been bumped down to the the following line. I don't know if this is a problem with the autostack properties, although I can't find anything about that, or if its a problem with the tabs.
I'm completely at a loss and its becoming a problem because if one person opens a project to plot it and it looks fine but the next person opens it and every mtext in the dwg is wrong it becomes very time consuming to fix.

I'm detailing a simple square plate with a good number of holes in it. I create an ordiate set running vertically along the LH edge and select the holes that are close to that side. Origin is the lower LH corner. Works great, easy.
The holes that are closer to the RH side though I'd like to show on that side. So I go to create a second ordinate set for the RH side and choose the lower RH corner as the origin and choose my holes that are close to that edge. The 2nd set will automatically show a second "0.000" dimension on the bottom edge and I can't supress it by right clicking.
Is there a better way to do this? What I've done now is to not use a set but just choose ordinate dimension and go from the opposite edge, which works.... But alignment is better with a set.

What is the best export/import format for sending 3D files. I need some neutral format files, possibly Solidworks but I am not sure. Also any export settings to make sure I get decent quality files.
Nothing like getting a surface model when you want solid model.

I have code that creates an attribute and block to be used to show a dimension value.
(setq cirDia 0.40) which returns 0.4, but the next command
(command "attdef" "" "CirATT" "" (rtos cirDia 2 2) "ml" "0,0" "1.5" "0")
returns "0.40"
On my computer (and those in the office with me) the attribute will show a default value of "0.40", but there is a computer in another office (offsite) that when the program is run, they get "0.4". The trailing "0" is dropped.
I have tried changing my "DIMZIN" var from 0 to 1, but that has no effect on the attribute dropping the zero. I just don't know what else that other computer may have set that would affect this variable.

If I use a linear dimension, and the value works out to something like 4'-1/2", Autocad will display 4'-01/2".
This is the documented behavior per autocad documentation:
Link to Documentation
"If feet are included with a fractional inch, the number of inches is indicated as zero, no matter which option you select. Thus, the dimension 4'-3/4" becomes 4'-0 3/4"."
It is also an extraordinarily silly behavior. How can I force my dims to display 4'-1/2" other than exploding them and editing by hand? ( or by using the "text override" feature )

The goal is to create the trailing effect of a word.
It should look as if the word is coming from the center of the screen to the forefront, either to the top or the bottom of the screen.

The example I use in this question has already been solved by friendly posters here and this is not a rehash... just using the materials at hand to illustrate the point.The effort here was to remove the trailing shadows shown in the first image (at the included URL below).
In that thread 2 posters showed how to do this using a completely different approach.That is, using Arrange/Apply ClipView..However, I used the help manual to try to do this, at a section headed Combining Shapes
When subtracting, intersecting and slicing, you can either use the topmost selected shape to do the "cutting" of the lower shapes, or you can use a mask.To use a mask to cut shapes, first select the shapes and then turn on mask mode. All objects except for the selected shapes disappear while mask mode is on.
Then draw your cutting shape using the main drawing tools (Freehand Tool, Shape Editor, Rectangle Tool, etc.) or paste the shape if you already drew it and copied it. Then select the Arrange->Combine Shapes operation. The mask shape is used to cut the shapes underneath. I never did see anything describing the details of how to do the cutting with one of the shapes already in the composition so I went the mask route, which is explained there.
So I selected all, then went to mask mode, drew a rectangle (at the right in 2nd screen grab below) then Arrange/Combine shapes/ and none of those selections: Add, subtract, intersect and slice... appear to do a darned thing to the objects.

How to “synchronize” the ‘layout number” with “sheet number”?
As in most cases, the arrangements of “lay outs” reflects the way they are regularly printed, then how could we renumbering the sheets such that the first lay out takes number 1, the second lay out takes number 2,…and so forth.
For example, in the screenshot below, the

Whether I'm creating a new document or working on an old document, I keep seeing this number in the text leading box instead of "auto." It's really annoying when the text wraps and it's inside the previous line, and I have to fix it every single time. How can I make it stop doing this?

I am creating a drawing that has some 40+ notes on it. Maybe half of these notes need to have a square, squircle, or some shape around them so I can later use that same shape enclosed number to point to a feature on the drawing that it is referencing. In the past when I had fewer notes I would just use the user symbols and losely place the squircle number in line with the other text and then use that same squircle number to point to the desired feature. The problem it is hard to align everything properly and if I move the text I then need to move the squircles.
In Pro/E I remember being able to type "@[1@]" and it would create a box around 1 in the text. Is there anything similar in Inventor?

In our company if we put a component in 5 different assemblies, we want that component to have the same item number no matter where it is in the parts list. In addition we group components to have a special item number... Meaning hardware like washer, bolts, and etc. to start with 500 series number.. Piping components would be 800 series...
Is there a way to do this in ILOGIC/VB?

I was wondering how everyone uses drawing numbers on their part and assembly drawings? Do you use the part names or drawing numbers to keep track of everything? And do you save the parts with their names or with a number? We are currently restructuring all our processes.

1. I created a text area box in CS6 at 18pt and it seems to have automatically set the leading to 21.6. Does AI set the leading for all text automatically based on the font size and the font selected? Does the font designer set this so that the leading is determined by him/her?
2. At what point do you generally want to adjust the leading? The art board on the left is set to 21.6 and the one on the right is set to 25. It creates a bit more breathing room/white space. How do you know when you are setting it too high?

I want to use the AddBorder method to add a custom Border to a sheet. As I see in the end, the newly added border does not have the zone parameteres set - the result 0 horizontal zones/0 vertical zones.
If I use the add border functionality that Inventor provides, the zones are not null.
I tried to find a way to specify these parameteres, but I found that they can be specified only on DefaultBorder.

When using multiple sheets within an IDW. Can the first sheet start out with a number other than 1, in otherwords start with sheet number 31, then every sheet after that be indexed by 1, ie 32, 33, 34 etc.

Is there any way to get the BOM to merge using something other than the Part Number. It seems as though it is the only option for merging the rows. I would like to use the stock number as the key.

When create assembly, i placed 3 parts in order: A.ipt, B.ipt, C.ipt
And ofcourse the item number will be:
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
this number will be the same in: item colum (in BOM table), ballon (in 2D drawing).
The problem is: i want to change this number,
A will be 2
B will be 1
C will be 3 when i ballon the part in 2D
I've used "renumber" in BOM, but it just change value in "item" colum (in BOM table), not change in "ballon" (in 2D drawing).
