AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Move DXF Output To Be In 1st (positive) Quadrant
Sep 6, 2012
I have a macro to create DXF files for all sheet metal parts in an assembly. What I now want to add is 2 functions :-
Move the DXF output to be in the 1st (positive) quadrant so that the left most entity is touches with the Y axis and the bottom most entity touches with the X axis,Add iProperties like Part Number, Material, Thickness and Qty as text to the DXF file.
Any takers?

I have a sketchblock in a sketch that I need to postion into the correct quadrant. I have dimensions on the sketchblock that are told to be driven while running the quadrant position task shown below. see image. Sketchblock is currently in quadrant 1 and I need to be able to push that into the 3rd, thus the (-200,-200).
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).SketchBlocks.Item(1).Postion.X = -200
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).SketchBlocks.Item(1).Postion.Y = -200
After it is in the correct quadrant I power the dimensions to constraint the sketchblock into correct position.
The question is, how do I position the sketchblock in the correct quadrant via 'position'?
Not working.

I want to create a positive form of the inside of a differential housing.
My idea was to put two planes on the edges of the housing. Then using the Sculpt Tool to create a New Solid of the inside of the housing.
With the Derive Tool i could seperate the two Solid Forms from each other.BUT... When I want to create a New Solid with the Sculpt Tool I get the error ' Create Sculpt feature failed'.
I've tried to Derive the part to a Sureface model, but that didn't work.

I'm want to reproduce a differential housing. Therefor I need a part which is identical to the inside of the housing. In other words, I need a positive part inside of the housing.
I've tried to do this with Derived parts by placing the differential housing in a large block. But then I get a block where lining of the housing is missing. So i can't do anything with this derived part.
I have attempt to upload the file, but it is too large. Even when i try to compress it.

Is it possible to get grip points on a circle at 45-dgree increments rather than at 90-degree increments - that is, at 45, 135, 225 & 315 degrees? (Preferably in addition to the 90-180-270-360 grips, but temporarily instead of would work also)

I've not seen it mentioned anywhere so I must ask. When in 3D modelling, is it possible to set AutoCAD to constrain drawing and movement in only the positive Z axis? I'd like to draw obviously in the XY plane but also only in positive Z (above ground?). I don't think i'll ever need to draw anything in the negative Z plane, which by my understanding would be actually underground (correct??). If it is at all possible to constrain in the positive Z plane, would there be a way to temporarily over ride this for the times I may need to Press Pull a hole out of a solid?
I have this strange knack of drawing in Top view in a left viewport (model space) then extruding in the right SW viewport then sometimes when I try ti move objects the end up underground (negative Z plane).

I cannot output STL files in any other unit except cm. I try changing it in the options when "saving copy as" but it doesn't stick and reverts back to cm. The online RP quoting service I use doesn't accept cm only inch and mm.

I need to add weight to my parts list and notes for both parts and assy. Is there a way to get the weight parsed out from the model without the "lbsmass", just the pounds number no nomenclature I have a couple of other questions on parts list customization also. Also are these better questions for the customization group?

I am having a problem when attempting to measure the volume of a solid in Autocad Civil 3d 2013. It returns an error: "One or more diagonal terms are not positive." I have run a check from solidedit and it returns as a valid solid.

how to get line weights defined through Inventor? After printing or output to PDF I can barely read the dimensions. Is this with the drawing setup? or with the printers?

How Solidworks has the ability to output G-code to machine parts without the use of a seperate CAM software.
If Inventor has the ability to do this with some sort of add on? Or even if Autodesk offers a program that does this that would work well with Inventor or if I must use a seperate CAM software to do it. I have used Mastercam in the past but wasn't sure if there was an easier way to do so.

I have in the past needed to create filters that had both a positive AND a negative in the parameters.
One of my most common examples: Layers in a specific XRef with names that do not contain specific string.
I tried XRefName|*[~anno]* and it gave me ALL the layers from the XRef (including the ones with anno in the name).
I also tried XRefName|*~anno* and it didn't list ANY layers.
It it possible to do this? I've read throught the docs on using wildcards in the filter properties but don't see anything.

I am photographing 2 1/4 negatives with a CANON 50D and macro lens. Then in Photoshop CS3 I was looking for the filter to convert the negative film file into a positive file so I can work on it with Adobe and then print in on my Canon printer.. I have tried to sample the orange base color and take that out and then invert and then increased the contrast curve.

I want to produce three positive transparency (C M Y) "films" that I can lay on top of each other over a white light for demonstration purposes (to simulate the behaviour of a slide film). Obviously each film has to be printed in its own colour (Y, M, C).

I have created a column graph with a large amount of data. I would like to apply two different colors to the positive and negative columns. Whenever I click on a column and go to object>graph> the column section is unavailable. I checked to see if the graph had become ungrouped, even though I never selected it. If I select the graph as a whole it does not say ungrouped. When I select a column the ungroup tab is greyed out. Does that mean my columns are ungrouped?

I need a plugin that can invert positive and negative space with transparency.
Example: I have a filled square in the middle of a transparent image. I use the plugin, and the square is now transparent, where as the originally transparent space is now filled.
Visual example:
Of course, I need this to do more complex shapes. Also notice the blur is accounted for.

I wish to limit the user input of and edittext to only allow a positive number, float or int. I do not yet know my Regex good enough to do this. I realize that I must get better at regex but in the meantime how to do this ?
I have used this so far on the edittext:
function checkTextInput()
{
if (this.text.match(/[^0-9.]/g))
{
this.text = this.text.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, "");
}
}
Which matches
000.0001
0.45.000.1
...1
which is not desired.
Desired is
0.n
.n
n.n

I want to image trace this photo to create logo. However the way the logo will be applied means that there can be no negative space less than .35mm or 1pt or the heat transfer will have them blend together.
How can I image trace while maintain all spaces (both positive and negative) are atleast 1pt sq?
