AutoCAD Inventor :: Hiding Extrusion (cut) In Assembly

May 17, 2012

I am working on detailing an assembly that requires two parts to be bolted together and then have a hole bored through both parts.  I want to show the assembly without the bore and then with the bore. I do not want to have to create a derived part.  There should be a way of toggling this extrusion in the assembly view, but I have not yet found it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hiding Features In One View

Nov 29, 2012

I am making a multiview drawing with isometric of a certain sheet metal part. Due to manufacturing reasons, they have to make the part longer than necessary to get a bend in it then I will have them shear off the extra. Is there a way I can show the multiview and flat pattern WITH the extra material and show the isometric WITHOUT that extra? In the model I remove the excess with a cut but I don't know how to suppress a feature for one view and not another.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hiding Sketch Or Changing Lineweight?

Dec 26, 2012

(Image attached). I am using Inventor 2013 and Visual Basic 2010 Express.  I created a sketch within one of my views on my .idw.  I would like to turn this sketch on or off based on the input from a variable that is read elsewhere.  I have used the following code from the help file with no luck so far.
 
Public Sub SketchEdit() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument ' Determine if there are any sheet overlay sketches. Dim oSketches As DrawingSketches oSketches = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.Sketches If oSketches.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the first sketch. Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch oSketch = oSketches.Item(4) oSketch.Edit() If vValue_Closer = "" Then oSketch.LineWeight = 0 Else oSketch.LineWeight = 0.007 End If ' Return from edit mode. oSketch.ExitEdit() End Sub

The code errors out on the line 'osketch = osketches.item(4)'.  I have tried using a number like that, and I have also tried using the actual name of the sketch.  Neither works.

oSketch = oSketches.Item("Closer_Reinf")

what to edit here to get it to look at my Closer_Reinf sketch to hide it/unhide it ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Speed Up Part List Hiding Process?

Jul 10, 2012

I'm writing code to split long part list in new sheets. Infact it's finished but very slow. Because each time I hide the line part list start to refresh itself...

I tryed to use

oDoc.DrawingSettings.DeferUpdates = True

But in this case I can only see empty part list on each page?!...

I just want to speed up process and I want to refresh part list view after than hiding process finished completely...

Inventor 2010 suite

If IV2010 allows hiding of the DIMENSION lines and ARROWS in an IDW files? I found a thread from 2009 that says it is impossible.

However, I found a way to hide them on some RETRIEVED dimensins, but not on others.

How to MANUALLY, or to create STYLE that hides MY choice of:

1. EXTENSION LINES,

2. DIMENSION LINES,

3. ARROWS

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Has Double User Request At Inserting In Assembly

Sep 18, 2012

We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.

1. Start a Rule after open document.

2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.

3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.

4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component

5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter

Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:

1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive

2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive

It don't work with the following situation:

- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault

Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.

I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other. 

change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tube And Pipe Assembly Styles Don't Translate Into Other Assembly Files

Feb 9, 2012

I have encountered a problem with the Tube and Pipe styles. 

As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor

When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.

Steps I've taken:

Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam 

Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work

AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Interior Volume Of Assembly By Subtracting Assembly From Block

Apr 23, 2012

I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it.  Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted.  Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?

Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?

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 :: Translate Assembly Component Using ILogic / Offset From Parent Assembly Origin

Nov 9, 2011

I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: CoG Needed For Each Sub Assembly In A 2 Part Assembly On An IDW

Oct 3, 2013

I have a two part duct fire damper assembly. The IDW has the combined two part assembly, which I know how to turn the CoG on, so that it can be dimensioned. The problem is each piece will more than likely be hoisted separately so I would like to show the CoG for each piece, not the combined master assy.is there a way to do this?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Hiding Dynamic Blocks

Jan 24, 2013

I have opened an exported .dwg file from Vectorworks.  I have been able to hide most items I wish to.   My difficulty is that I have (what I think from reading and Youtube) is dynamic blocks (light instruments).  They are on a layer that is turned off, yet they are still visible.  I've played around in the block editor, but I really don't know what I'm doing.  If need be I can delete the light instruments, but I'd rather not.  If there is a command to hide all blocks?  I tried to use the properties editor to change the color to white so they would disappear.  That didn't work.

AutoCad 2D :: Removing / Hiding Block Attributes?

Jun 3, 2013

I've just been sent some layouts by our planning team and they have attributes stating the size and name of all the furniture.

How can I quickly hide or delete the attributes as for my purposes the text is irrelevant and gets in the way?

I have tried the BATTMAN command but it doesn't seem to let me delete all of the attributes I have to leave one on each block. Currently all of the attributes are on the same layer as the lines (layer 0.)
