AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Find IPTs That Are Not Connected To IAMs

Aug 6, 2012

You start drawing, drawing, drawing, use IPT's in IAM's etc...

At the end of the project there are bunch of IPT's that are not used anymore in the IAM's because of changes etc...

After a while you server or computer is full of unused and unwanted IPT's.

Is there an easy way to find IPT's that are not connected to IAM's ? So i can select them all an delete?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving And Checking In IAMs

Feb 8, 2013

I have Machine.iam with all children checked out, except for company-library-parts and Content Centre parts.

After changes to non library parts and checking in machine.iam (with 1 or more company librarie .iams in it) Inventor says: machine.iam and (x) dependent files must be saved.before they can be checked in.save and continue?

Answering Yes -> Inventor says: One or more documents have been modified but save was unsuccessful. You must save the document prior to check in. (but I did save before check in!).  Only option is to press cancel..

All filenames of library.iams in the vaultlist in inventor are turned red with an * behind the filename stating they have changed.(?) Somehow inventor thinks the library.iam haved changed in this machine.iam..

If i do this again with all included children checked out, but not the library files, the result is the same.

I tried to find out what is wrong with these library-parts (all library.iams (?)) so I opened a few of these library.iam (with the librarie.ipj) and the update button is greyed out so there are no changes..

We “solve” this now by closing the machine.iam, inventor then asks: save changes?, press Yes, an new window pops up: file “machine.iam” is checked out to you. Do you want to check it in now?, press Yes, a new window pops up asking which files you want to check in: machine.iam and all checked out parts in it, press OK and all will be checked in.

But this only works with files that are already in the vault, not with new drawings of iams.

We used to have the problem after saving an part or assembly -> Inventor would ask after pressing close: do you want to save, as if the first save didn’t work.. Now we have a bigger problem..

Also sometimes checking out include children only includes all direct children and not also children of children.

AutoCAD .NET :: Find All Connected Entities?

Nov 6, 2013

I have a requirement to find all connected entities on a given line of a plant P&ID. In other words given a certain line or reference point the requirement is to 'walk the line' and list off all entities (with certain attributes and in order) that are connected on a line.

Now not having any experience with underlying object models and API's, whether A) this is possible B) which object model to use - I'm a bit confused as to which one to use.

I'm wondering if I can move a part in iLogic or rule via X,Y,Z coords say from it's current location to 0,0,0?

I don't want to use constraints because it simply can't jump from one constraint to the next without blowing up.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create PDF-File Of Drawing And STEP Of Connected 3D-File

Apr 11, 2012

I have a script that makes PDF-file with suffix revision. Now I want to expand this script so it even makes a STEP-file of the 3d-file connected to the drawing. This would make all manufacture files in one button. That should be nice..

How will i manage with this since the active document is the drawing not the part. (see code below)

Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Call oDoc.SaveAs("C:UsersGoranWeDesktop est estfile.stp", True)

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Plotting Images And FDO Connected Points

May 8, 2012

I'm plotting a map that is supposed to show a background of either aerial imagery or the USGS topographic maps. I have points for wells from the state database that has a tabular join to an excel spreadsheet.  The well points are color coded for samping data from the spreadsheet.  I want the color-coded points with the well ID number in a plot (paper or .PDF).  

The imagery/map underlay are both MapIInserted, versus FDO Raster, but I've put them into a layer in Display Manager.

What's happening is that some of the points plot & some of the labels plot, but not all.  Also, some of the text for the labels is missing the front end of text and some is missing the tail end.

I've gone as far as trying to set the white background of the USGS quads "transparent" and plotting with transparency thinking that the points were "under" the images.  Not the case.  

I'm only getting about 40% of the points.... WHY???????  I've spent the better part of a day on this and getting extremely frustrated.  I've tried turning on/off hardware acceleration.  I'm working with a "non-compliant" graphics card - think this is the issue?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Drawings Connected To A Single Database

Jan 5, 2012

I have a table in an Access 2010 database which has 130 rows of records.  Each row is assigned a drawing file name field and then the 6 attributes for the title block of each drawing.  I am wanting a routine that will open a set of drawings, the set matching each drawing file name field record and populate the attributes in the drawing title block with the corresponding records in that row from the database table.

I have seen where multiple blocks in one drawing can be populated with an attached database but I want to populate several drawings with a single database that has several records.  One row of records for each drawing.

AutoCad :: Command Or LISP To Delete Lines Not Connected At Both Ends?

Nov 11, 2012

I'm working on a project that details with topo lines. I have the contours, however because I imported them as DWG's from sketchup they're a bit messy. Basically, instead of being one continuous line, their endpoints intersect and overlap, making it look very messy. Is there anyway I could delete these extra lines? I tried the overkill command to no avail.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Convert Connected Feature Data To Real Polylines And Text

Oct 31, 2012

In autocad 2013 is the best way still to convert data you have connected to, for example a shape file, as feature data in order to convert that into polylines and text is the best method saving it all as a seperate drawing using the "save as autocad drawing command"?  Is there way to do it individually in the current drawing so that I do not always have to be saving things out as seperate drawings and then copy and pasting them back into my working drawing?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Shapefile Joined To ODBC Connected Table - Filter Not Working

Dec 11, 2013

I have a Shapefile layer added to the map via FDO. I joined it to a SQL Server based table via ODBC. I can see all the data (shapefile & ODBC table) correctly in the attribute table, but when comes time to "Query to Filter Data...", only fields in the Shapefile are available and displayed in the Filter dialogue. I want to be able to Filter using fields in the joined. If I export that same Shapefile to an SDF and THEN try the same join and filter, all the fields from the SDF as well as the joined ODBC table are available in the filter dialogue.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Poor Quality When Printing Raster Image Connected Through Data Connect

Aug 19, 2011

I am using two different types of raster ECW and MrSid. ECW file resolution goes way down when plotting. They look like blocks. MrSid files look fuzzy but alot better than ECWs. I've tried RASTERTHRESHOLD, and RASTERPERCENT. Both are set to 90. Using HP6100ps.

Images are fine when using Imageinsert.

Is there a setting i'm missing somewhere for them?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block Rotate Part And Stretch Arcs To Stay Connected

Jun 18, 2012

I have a block that I would like make dynamic.  It is a fishhook arrow for a roundabout traffic sign.  I would like to rotate the head to various angles, and have the body of the arrow adjust.  I already have the ability to stretch the two end points in their direction, and rotate the head, but the curved part of the arrow body needs to adjust for the new head location.  I tried dynamic stretch, but it would not attach to the rotate dimension.  How do I get these arcs to stretch along their radii and associate the end arc points to the near end of arrow head?

I had one thought of using multipe arcs so that they would overlap more or less as rotated, but this is a pretty crude workaround.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2011 Crashes On All Computers Connected To Project When Plot Sheet Is Opened

Nov 15, 2010

One to Five people has the same project loaded into their Project Navigator.

One of the people opens a plot sheet while using the Project Navigator.

ALL computers with that project loaded experience an Autocad 2011 Crash.

-No Error Message appears.

-Autocad shuts down completely with no warning.

-Simultaneously!

This only occurs with DWG files located under the Sheets Tab of the project navigator.

It is not Project specific. This has occured for different users in our office with different projects open. However Autocad only crashes for the users with the specific project accessing the plot sheet loaded.

We recently made the switch from 2009 to 2011. So far this is only a problem for projects where the plotsheets were created in 2009. We can't go back to 2009 to plot since the walls etc have now adapted to 2011.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Related Drawing Using VBA

May 31, 2013

I'm trying to write a VBA macro (for Inventor 2010) that would have to work on drawing .idw files that are generated from a given component.So when I have an open assembly document, I want to go through all component occurences and work with the associated drawing.

There's a built in command in Inventor for that, in the context menu, something like "Open drawing" (mine is german, so not sure how it's called in english), which does this. It opens the drawing of the given part. From this I assumed, there must be a reference within each part, that points to the referencing drawing.

But I'm not able to find this information anywhere within the properties/objects of any component.how or where can I get this information out of the components?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Find And Get Coordinates Of CustomTable

Mar 16, 2012

In Inventor, I want to look for a table called "MS6 Report".  If the table exists, I want to get its coordinates, and delete the table.  If it doesn't exist, I'd just like to let the user place a table.  How can I check if a customtable by this name already exists in the document?  Here is what I have so far...

if (aDoc.ActiveSheet.CustomTables.Equals("MS6 Report")){//get table coordinates//delete table }else {userInteract = m_inventorApplication. Command Manager.CreateInteractionEvents();keySelect = userInteract.KeyboardEvents;keySelect.OnKeyDown += new Keyboard EventsSink_ OnKey Down EventHandler(keySelect_OnKeyDown);mouseSelect = userInteract.MouseEvents;mouseSelect.OnMouseDown += new MouseEventsSink_ OnMouse DownEventHandler(Table_Update_Placement); }

The else statement works great. No problems there. How can I find, get coordinates of, and delete a custom table by the name of "MS6 Report"?
