AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Lowercase Revision Number In A Drawing
Dec 13, 2012Is there a way to have a lowercase revision number in a drawing (in fact, it's not really a number but a character).
All I can set is uppercase format or numbers.

I am using the sheet list table to generate a table of contents. I add the "Drawing Revision Number" column to the table, but when it generates the list it does not include the field.
Is there any way to add the "Sheet Revision Number" instead since this is what property is actually adjusted in the sheet's properties? (i never change the "Drawing Revision Number")
OR is the solution to change the "Drawing Revision Number"? Where do I change this property at? Is this property applied to all sheets within a drawing?
The revision Number in the assembly drawing is populated by the Model Iproperties revision field. How can I get it to show the Drawing properties revision number? I need my vendors to see the drawing number and associated revision levels of the drawings which make up the assembly not the Models which they may never see. There are many times we update drawings with notes that do not effect the underlying model but still reflect a revision change in the drawing so I need people building assemblies to make sure they are building the assembly components to the correct revisions.

When we insert a Revision Table to a drawing we have the option to update Revision Number property in the drawing. This property is updated whenever we add a Revision Row.
I want Inventor to update the Revision Number property in the model the same way.
If this is not possible, is there a way to automatically map the Revision Number property in the drawing to the Revision Number property in the model?

I create all of the shop drawings for our company and I'm trying to find out the best way to track revised drawings. A lot of times I create a drawing and there are several revisions. The shop works off of a high res. pdf I print for them and we also have a signed version from the customer. Once in a while the shop gets their hands on an earlier revision and builds from it. The signed version from the customer is crappy at best and sometimes faxed so working from it is useless.
I have a space where I can manually enter the REVISION # on the drawing but sometimes I forget to update it. If I use an automated timestamp <timestamp> for the drawing with date and time (I've seen this done) or some iLogic code, would this show when the document is printed, opened or saved?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to access the drawing sheet revisions using Ilogic.My company is wanting to start making the default initial rev on a drawing a "-" and inventor does not like to keep this when brought in as a template.
So like normal I am trying to trick it into having the dash until a rev is actually added.
I am trying to create some new templates for 2013 and I'm trying to figure a way to get the model revision number to populate into the drawing's iproperty revision number so that they will match upon save. I'm trying to do this by creating an ilogic rule but I don't see a system property in the idw that will allow me to access the 3D model iprops. I am going to Event Trigger the rule to run Before Save. Is this possible?
On the drawing border I have created a formatted text box that is built as:
Type: Properties - Model
Property: Revision Number
It simply pulls the data from the models revision number and populates the text box. I need this same thing to happen but rather than populate into a text box I need it to populate into the drawings revision number iprop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

What is the code to select a drawing sheet by either its number or description but NOT both together?
Sometimes want need to select the first sheet by number 1 but the sheet description can change. and Sometimes we will need to select the sheet by its description but the sheet number may vary.
How to reference the drawign sheet number using iLogic? I see on the snippets on the side a way to reference the sheet name, but I only want the number. To get the name it is ActiveSheet.Name, but ActiveSheet.Number does not work. Getting the name give something like ASSM:1, so if there was a way to take that and subtract the colon and everything before it that would work also. I am not a programmer, I've just taked some programs I found online and modified them a little to do what I want to do, but this is holding me back a bit.
Overall, I'm trying to modify the drawing view label to have a project number, referenced from the drawign iProperties, a view label, and sheet number, and then save that info in an iproperty of the part, and then reference that in the BOM so it automatically labels all of the views and fills out a column of the BOM to reference which page and view to find the parts of the assembly. I have everything working except for the sheet number.
We put several parts on a single drawing sheet and ,to include the part number in the drawing view label, we must edit each view label and change the type to Properties_Model and the Property to Part Number. Is there a way to set the default of a drawing view label to include the Part Number? I tried modifying the styles to include <PART NUMBER> but it the text "<PART NUMBER>" came in instead of the value. To get the value, I had to edit the view label and hit the X with a down arrow to get the part number to show up, which is not much different than having to edit the label and change type and property. I'm looking to avoid all the view label editing as much as possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAt my company, we do a large amount of work with sheet metal parts and assemblies. On our drawings, we like to do "detail" views of the flat patterns of each part of the assembly. Basically, how we do it now is insert a base view of the assembly and the BOM onto the first sheet and then on separate sheets, we place base views of the flat patterns for each of the components that will be cut on our cnc plasma table. We use the item number to denote which part it is in the assembly. Is there any way to pull the item number from the assembly BOM and use it as a parameter that can be inserted into the view label? Right now, it's a nightmare if the assembly BOM is modified because we have to go back in to each view label and manually change the item number.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently I'm converting one of our machines from AutoCAD to Inventor 2009.
This machine can vary from 1200mm to 1600mm and has a couple of options to choose from for our customers.
These dimension changes are all driven by a single excel file and the options are controlled in the an IAssembly.
Some of the 2D drawings will have a variable width, in our ERP system they are marked width dependable as followed: "partnumber/1200" or "partnumber/1410" in which 1200 or 1410 is the machine width.
Is it possible to have the 2D drawings automatically update the partnumber? so if I configure my machine as a 1200mm machine it automatically changes my drawingnumber to the actual machine width?

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.

Along our project number should include the revision letter stand out with the latest date.
Now I would like to see if the date entered by the revision number and revision letter that the letter therefore become filled in along the project number.
If the next date is fill in with the letter, that letter must be completed along the project number The dates and letters are "Prompted Entry" or do i need other properties.
Can this be done with iLogic?

Is there a workaround to delete the last revision row with the edit icon (I've put in by mistake and would like to remove)According to Autodesk HELP:
"Note:The active row is always the most recently added row to the revision table. It is denoted by an edit icon and cannot be deleted."
We revise multiple items on a drawing at the same time. When we do this we add a number next to the revision letter to reference in the revision block. For example if we are on rev B and we revise 3 items we would need tags that say B1, B2, B3. We can edit the tags to reflect this, but I was wondering if there is any way to get the tags to do this automatically without using code.
