AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Snapshot Of IPT File Inside It?
Oct 15, 2012
I'm developing a VB.NET framework 4.0 that must works with Inventor 2013 and Vault.
My *BIG* problem is to obtain a simply image (bmp, jpeg, whatever you want) of the ActiveDocument in Inventor when the user add the file inside Vault (VaultCheckinTop) - my goal is to create a detail technical pdf report and store it in our database.
I'm able to create ALL (get iProperties, etc) but i cannot take a snapshot of the ActiveDocument.
I've tried both Apprentice way and ClientView way registering the old-know "InventorThumbnailViewLib", without success.
I cannot (and i don't want!!) use the VisualBasic.Compatibility method because it's ultra-deprecated, and i cannot use too the VBA scripting because my application it's create in VB.NET.
replicate in "silent mode" at runtime the "Export to Immage" command of Inventor.I have read all similar post found on the net, without success

My scenario is: VS2K10 - Framework 4.0 - Windows 7 @ 64bit - Inventor 2K13 @ 64bit with Update 2 - last DeveloperTool @ 64bit
There are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences. [code]....
I cannot open anymore an IPT file (an error comes up). I know that the IPT file contains multiple references to other IAM´s and IPT´s via "Derived parts"; is there a tool to show all the references inside an IPT file?
Is it possible to make an i part or i feature of the beam end shown in snapshot (every thing except back to back channels) i.e., couples of holes at certain distance attached with some plates etc, so that it can be populated to identical locations.
I am using this code previously posted at the swamp to save layout views but would also like to save a layer snapshot at the same time as you can with the view command.
If I place a link to a dwg as a hyperlink in an Excel file, AutoCAD freezes. It opens the drawing, then AutoCAD is completely locked. I have to close it through task manager.
This has been tested wih multiple drawings and excel file and it happens in all of them. I'm using Excel 2010 and AutoCAD 2010.
I was using "copy components" inside an .iam without any problem. Suddently, when I tried to copy more instances, inventor was blocked and I was not able to copy anymore components. Then I had to close inventor because it seems to be in a bucle.
I know how to do embossing in parts. I know how to work with iparts. I have not found a way to use embossing inside an ipart that will allow me to change the text on each member. We do steel rings and each one of them has the size and pressure rating embossed in it. What I'm trying to achieve is to have the embossing change according to each member automatically
Does setting preference to make a initial snapshot help? I've been doing some testing and can't see any benefits from it. It seems I can always select the open history state to revert back to the beginning.
Whenever I try and take a UV snapshot of a set of UV's in Maya 2012, I get the following error message: // Error: Failed to open output file: C:UsersFraggerDocumentsA Work FilesVisualisationsimagesYellowBucket.*.tif
This has happened every time I try to take a UV snapshot in 2012, but it never happened on any of the earlier versions.
What is the technique to camfer or bevel that inside surface for the collar? It is a secondary sketch which was extruded all the way through the collar. All attempts to bevel yeilded an error message saying the sketch was too complicated
I am trying to draw a series of flow channel (in a row) in a rectangular parallelepiped.
So I sketched a rectangle -> extruded (cut) -> sketched another rectangle -> extruded -> sketched another rectangle inside of one of channel -> extruded, and finally made a flow channel like in attached file.
What I hope to know are :
(1) Is there a way to copy that flow channel? Or should I have to do same repeatedly for tens of flow channel? (2) Is there a way to make a flow channel easily?
My goal is to be able to store any object type (mainly an image jpg/bmp) inside a part that is not accessable through the normal user interface to be used with my addin.
I have been searching around and it seems like GetPrivateStream is the way to go.
Any working example of GetPrivateStream in vb.net and confirm if it actually stores the data inside the part.
I can't find a solution anywhere or any decent referencing material for this. If there is a better method of achieving this?
How do I do a composite snapshot using Photoshop CS5. I know it can be done in CS6 using Control + shift + alt + E. I am not having any luck using those shortcuts in CS5.
I work for a school district that uses VideoStudio X4 in their High School lab. We are in a Windows Domain where each student logs in using their own user ID and password to a Windows XP Pro computer. When a Student logs in and uses VideoStudio, Take a Snapshot does not work. If I log in as an Administrator that feature works. So there is a file permissions issue - but I can not find which file/folder I need to give the students rights to. I have given the Corel folder in the Programs folder Modify rights. I also have given the Corel folder in the All Users | Documents and Settings | Application Data (hidden) folder Modify rights. Neither change has worked.
Inside the A/E CC, The small Camera Icon that Is to take Snap-Shots, Where dose It Save the Snap-Shots ?I do see the Icon for show Snap-Shots but I don't see any.
I have a problem here. I've created a tube & pipe assembly. Now, I want to know whether I can automatically generate "Location to" and "Location From" of my tube assembly. For example, tube A origin from part A goes to part B. So I want to automatically generate those. Is there is a way or do I need to type in manually.
The firm that I currently work for has placed the Content Center inside the Vault. Why would you place the Content Center inside the Vault and not simply on a shared network drive and then have the computed Content Center parts in the Vault? Wouldn't there be any bandwidth issue using this Content Center setup? Is there a better location to place the Vault?
I've created a new library, in the appearance browser and then a category inside called mesh. Somehow I cannot edit the appearance of what I've called Flatex338... I can add it to the current document and then edit it, but cannot edit the original or 'master' appearance.
I'm struggling with the changeover to 2013 with this appearance and materials. Downloaded a document on it from Autodesk but it's only about 30% useful.
I have a tube steel frame and need to show weldments between the tubes except for the inside fillets. I then need to show sanding the welds flush. Also I need to show a rounded edge where the mitered point meets the outside edge of the tube beside it. I'm very new with inventor Attached is my curret drawing file.
I don't work in Illustrator but i'm trying to figure out how to deal with an .eps file i have. It contains 3 variations of a logo stacked on top of each other, but i only want to use one of them (by placing it inside print files that are being set up in Indesign). Am i missing something simple here? I'm using CS6 versions of the software.
I have also added the path controller and have animated some rotations (Z axis only for now) as the assembly goes around the path.
My question is - I can duplicate the assembly via the snapshot tool easily enough and they all follow each other as expected...but how can I now copy my previous set up animation onto the new cloned assemblies?
Is there a way to copy and paste the original animation - then either time shift via the curve editor or % on path controllers?
