AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Button On The Ribbon For Running Specific Macro
Jun 16, 2011
I know I can make a button on the ribbon for running a specific macro. But, is this possible for iLogic rules? I would love to be able to run rules and launch forms from the ribbon!?
I have created a ribbon bar in autocad 2012 using API and c#. On ribbon button i am executing a Command method which display a wizard for copying some files.
Now i want to run a macro before executing the ribbon button command method. Which display a message box with yes and no . if user click yes command method will executes itself and display wizard for copy files.
If user click no command method will not execute and return. This will allow user to use macro for customizing the file copy process.
If there is a specific toolbar that I want to add to the ribbon how is this done? I see that you can find the toolbar of your choice then slide specific commands using the "Add" button.
Or I can turn on the entire toolbar and place it somewhere around the model screen, but that shrinks the model viewer.
I am new to the ribbon and am having trouble putting more than one button on the same ribbon. I have two addins that both have buttons that need to go on the drawing>Place View tab but I can only see one button. If I put them on different tabs they both appear, what is my problem?
How to create a ribbon with a button. I am creating an add-in for Inventor. I am trying to put this code in the Activate Sub but it's not adding the ribbon once I open a drawing. Just trying to use this example to get me started.
public void AddParallelEnvironment(){ Application oApp = ThisApplication; // Get the Environments collection Environments oEnvironments = oApp.UserInterfaceManager.Environments; // Create a new environment Inventor.Environment oNewEnv = oEnvironments.Add("Some Analysis", "SomeAnalysis", null, null, null); // Get the ribbon associated with the assembly environment [Code] ..........
I have been trying to create a macro to control an assembly. The problem is that I need to access a certain parameter in a specific part in the assembly. I can get the exact parameter by using the "name" of the given parameter, ex .Item("d7") to call the parameter d7. The problem for me has been what name do I use to call out a given part, I have been using .Item(Index number), ex .Item(12), but this number can change as parts are added, deleted, or suppressed.
The question is what "name" should I be using and how do I use it. I have tried
For several years I've been programming in Inventor and AutoCAD, with VBA. Making macros and creating a button for them in the toolbar of Inventor is no problem. What disturbs me slightly is that the name of the button is the same as the name of the macro. In VBA you can't create functions with spaces in the name. So the name of the toolbar button often looks quite silly.
Is there a way to change the name and the tooltip-text of the toolbar button without loosing the link to the original macro? In AutoCAD this is no problem, but Inventor...

I want a to create a tool button on the annotate tab of the ribbon. The button will toggle between having the 'display line weights' box (on the drawing tab of the application options dialog box) ticked or not ticked.
I have the settings set to display true line weights. (so i can visualize how the actual print will look, but need it off to be able to draft properly).
I'm trying to find a way to add a custom button to my ribbon that will launch a global rule or form using VB. I know of a way using VBA but I want to get away from VBA. I'd much rather create an add with VB and use that.
I am trying to make a macro that adds the vendor column to the end of a parts list, sort by it first, then by part number, renumber the parts list, then save the overrides to the BOM. Everything works great except for saving the overrides to the BOM. The item number sort order gets jumbled back up. I am using Inventor 2008 Pro SP2. Below is the
Public Sub SortPartsList() Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oPartsList As PartsList Set oPartsList = oDoc.ActiveSheet.PartsLists.Item(1) Dim oPropsets As PropertySets
I am trying to write a macro for a button that when I press, it goes to a certain folder on a server. Normally when you click on the "open" button, it takes you to the last file location. I want that to be ignored an goes to a certain folder.
I'm using a disto laser with my tablet running "AutoCad Architecture". The laser can be set to fire using a combination of Alt, Shift or Control keys plus a number or letter. I arbitrarily set it up as "Alt 1". My old tablet had a mechanical button that I easily assigned this function. For my new setup, I need this button on the ribbon but I can't figure out what Macro text format is the same as pressing "Alt 1".
After starting my previous thread "What formula will work to achieve this result" I decided to post this new thread because I have changed my mind and will now be using the external Excel file that the "Extract Data" creates to do my calculations.
Here's what I would like to do: create a Macro [button] in Excel with the following conditions: * Sample of excel spreadsheet: * MANUF NoSUB No.DESCRIPTION** UNIT QUANTITY A123494456TYPE A, XXXX XXX * * * * EA** * * * 45 A423520374YA1AM, XXXXXXXXXX * **EA** * * * 55 A148231375TYPE B, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 33 A146151725A1AAM, XXXXXXXXXX * * EA** * * * 67 A135621873TYPE A, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 24
1. * * * CONDITION #1: IF "DESCRIPTION" TAB ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE A" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" TAB ["E" COLUMN] SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW AND DIVIDE IT BY 20, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.*
2. * * * CONDITION #2: IF "DESCRIPTION" ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE B" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW ["E" COLUMN] AND DIVIDE IT BY 10, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.
3. * * * AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE EXCEL FILE AFTER THIS MACRO HAS BEEN UTILIZED.

I'm trying to create button with macro to edit existing text in place, with predefined text with macro .... For example, existing text is "Old text", and I want this text (or whatever I select) to edit in place with click on macro button to change it to "New text".
How to add buttons and create my own ribbon in AutoCAD, but now I would like to be able to have buttons for two different schedules that I have created. While I can have a button start the schedule command it won't automatically pick the schedule that I want it to create.
What I want to know is if there is a way to make a hotkey or at all save specific options for specific tools. Let's say I'm using the 'Paintbrush, Opacity 70%, Hardness 075, Size 4.00' as my "standard outline tool". Can I some how save that preference (and any other tool such as "Specific Eraser Op. 100%, Hard. 100, Size 10.00) so that I can easily switch between "Ouline Brush" and "Specific Eraser" . Maybe to the 'f-buttons'
I'd like to be able to make maybe 5 specific tools:-Outline Brush
-Small Eraser -Big Eraser -Detailed Color brush -Big Color Brush.
Need a macro to copy a specific file and then promp where to paste the file. Trying to make a macro to Publish to PDF with certain parameters, mainly the security password, then save to as file "X". Then Call macro to copy file "X" so I can navigate to the proper directory,paste it and rename it.
If Corel had a feature that would allow you to set your password once and it would remember it so you didn't have to retype it every time.
I did managed to Record completely the macro but it will only save over the same file every time. It would work great if I could get it to just go back to the "publish To PDF" after inputting the settings then I can name it and put it in the directory I want.
