AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Change Sketch Symbol Text Font
Jun 17, 2012
My iLogic ability is quite limited outside of what I use regularly?
I am trying to change the font style in every text definition in all my sketch symbols in one go. Actually I have started it based on only a selection set but I would be happy with just all symbols too. Below is where I got to, I am stuck on the For Each line to cover each text box in the symbol. Some of the other syntax may not be right either but I can't test it all the way through.
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument: oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim oSheet As Sheet: oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheetDim i As LongDim oSymDef As SketchedSymbolDefinition: oSymDef = oDoc.SketchedSymbolDefinitions.Item(i)Dim oText As TextBoxesFor i = 1 To oDoc.SelectSet.CountFor Each oText In ............oSymDef.TextBoxes.Item(i).FormattedText ="<StyleOverride Font='ARIAL'>...< /StyleOverride>"NextNextInventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
Also the XML style override is not complete if this is the only way to achieve this result.

I am trying to create a sketch symbol with info about the first view on a sheet. It seems to work fine with any of the properties built in, but I am trying to include the scale. There are lots of posts about putting scale in a title block, but I can't seem to get the same code to work for a sketch symbol.

I want Inventor to add sketch symbols automaticly on cordinates according to a Custom Text Paramater
for example I have created Custom Multi Value Text User parameter Approved & Not Approved or Plate Work Notes & SteelWork Notes wich each represent diffrent sketch symbols that needs to be placed out base on the value selected. Each sheet consist of diffrent sketch symbols

insert a sketch symbol to a specific coordinate on a dwg border (top middle of dwg)
Workflow needed is as follows
Copy Sketched symbol folder from Standard.dwg from (C:UsersPublicDocumentsAutodeskInventor 2012Templates.Paste into open dwg document and yes to all to overide symbolsPlace a named sketched symbol from drawing resources folder ie (PRELIMINARY) to top center of all sheets within documentreturn to first sheet when complete My new dwg has symbols in correct place so any new dwgs this is ok but we need to add it to hundreds of dwgs when opened or revised,so i want to tie this to external rule and trigger on save event.

I was looking to change the fonts in a drawing for the Dimensions and Symbols that might have been inserted in the Dimension text entries.
This can be done manually bu editing the dimentions text after placemement, but I was ooking to set this as a default.. I cannot see where exactly this is controlled in the Styles Manager - I am only able to change the Dimension text font but the diameter symbol font is always on AIGDT.
I was therefore looking for an iLogicvb code that could do the trick, but I am not able to even change the dimension fonts... The code runs with no errors but nothing gets updated in the drawing...
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
[Code]....

We have created 100's of drawings with inserted sketched symbols that has text which has been formatted with the font RomanS. Now that we have switched to DWF published documents, the font prints very light compared to Tahoma.
I was able to obtain all the text styles programatically and update the style to Tahoma. Unfortunately, updating the style does not effect text becuase the text was originally overriden to not use a text style.
Is there anyway via API to update the text in a sketched symbol to point it back to a Text Style?

I'm building a product configuration which includes some helical curves. I want to find out how I can change the direction of a Helical curve feature in a 3D sketch.
Variables like pitch and diameter are parameters, but the direction isn't.

I have created a Sketched Symbol "Replace by" with a prompt text where I must write the new drawing number.
I'm trying to use Ilogic function to copy the Prompted text into a custom drawing iProperty.
Here is the code :

IfoSymbol.Name="Replace by"TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "Replace by")=???????EndIfNext
End Sub

What I would like to do is create a custom dialogue for each of 3 or 4 standard sketch symbols we use on a regular basis. I'd like to load 'suggsted' values out of an excel spreadsheet and allow the user to pick from them or enter in a custom text string if required. The values would then become part of the sketch symbol.
I've spent some time looking into iLogic rules and I think I've determined that they're not flexible enough to do what I want.
If I'm correct, it is possible (or a good idea) to do this using a VBA macro? I'm a little hesitant to go down the full blown add-in route. While I'm pretty confident I could work it out.

I needed a specific Adobe font engraved on a nameplate.
I purchased and installed the font and it is available to me in other applications.
I went to use it within my sketch and it didn't display as being available.
Do I need to do something other than install the font on my machine to use it within my model?

If it is possible to change the default font used when inserting a symbol in mtext. e.g. the centerline symbol.
At the moment the font used is isocpeur and I would like it to be Romans.

This code works with no errors but does not change the text size. A user can over ride the text size (Font size) so I'm hoping it is possible thru code.
Dim oSketch As Inventor.Sketch
Set oSketch = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches("Sketch1")
Dim oText As Inventor.TextBox
Set oText = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddByRectangle(pnt1, pnt2)
oText.Style.FontSize = 0.1

I am trying to rewrite Curtis Waguespack's ilogic code to modify drawing view labels from this post http: [URL]...
The completed label should appear like this
<Description> - Mk <Part Number>
Est Unit Mass = X kg
(Scale 1:1)
At this point I have 2 problems
1. I want to add the physical mass to the second line and would prefer to use the calculated physcial property rather than the a custom iproperty. If editing the view label, it would the property access under physcial properties.
2. I want to rewrite the code so it is selective or per view - in otherwords, I only want it to modify a single view I select once the code is run. At this point I know I need to remove the For loop but I dont have a clue as to how to make it selective.
'start of ilogic codeDim oDoc As DrawingDocument: oDoc = ThisDoc.DocumentoModel = ThisDoc.ModelDocumentDim oSheets As SheetsDim oSheet As SheetDim oViews As DrawingViewsDim oView As DrawingViewoSheets = oDoc.SheetsFor Each oSheet In oSheetsoViews = oSheet.DrawingViews For Each oView In oViews oView.ShowLabel = True

I need to create skech symbols to illustrate mounting schemes, so without scale. I need to put dimensions in the symbol, which are only annotation, not parametric. This dimension must be visible once the symbol inserted on the sheet.
When I create the dimension in the sketch, it is always a paramertric dimension, which drve the drawing and is not visible in the inserted symbol.. How can I do to have only an annotation ? (I precise the option "sketch only" does not function on dimensions)

Is it possible to modify a sketch symbol that has existing prompted text while keeping the existing prompted text? For example, I have a sketch symbol that is placed on every detail on the drawing. We could have 8 details on a drawing.
This sketch symbol uses prompted text to fill in the relevant information for each detail. Is there a way to change the sketch symbol globally and then copy the sketch symbol in to each drawing without losing the prompted text? Currently I have to modify the sketch symbol within each drawing. To keep the prompted text.

I am trying to get Sketched Symbols with leaders to align.
I have a sketched symbol defined that has connection points defined at the outer quadrants. If the symbol doesn't have a leader they snap together at the connection points without any problems.
If the symbols have a leader they either won't snap, or jump to a random location depending on what grip you select to move.
The following video image shows the problems with the symbols with leaders.

ACA2011My dimensions seem to be fickle with regard to snaping. I've got my OSNAPs on, and I can't snap to a structural beam above, nor can I snap to a window sill. I can dim to the mid point of the window sill by using .x & .y filters, and can only snap to the axis line on a beam. Is there a toggle somewhere?

I would like to use a multi-value custom iProperty 'item_finish' in the part or assembly model to drive an iLogic rule.
'item_finish' would be 1-24 from the list.
The part file would have an embedded spreadsheet with column A corresponding to the 'item_finish'.
The spreadsheet would have column B containg long text descriptions of the finish process.
The ilogic rule must take the 'item_finish' number, find the corresponding row and then return the B column cell text to a user parameter 'defined_finish'.
The 'defined_finish' parameter can be called in a sketched symbol to describe the finish.
It appears this is all possible, but I cannot find enough information describing the snipped code requiremnets to accomplish the goal.

How can I delete one Sketched Symbol from my Drawing ? It wont be in use in any sheet, i just need to delete it and the recreate with my code, so by this way the symbol is updated.
The other part of the code is created already, just need this part to delete. I found some ways but just delete the symbol from the sheet, not the source symbol. How can i delete it then ?

I want to replace view labels in drawings with sketch symbols to get a different appearance to my drawings. (As far as i know it is not possible to change the appearance of the standard view label.) See attached snap of my desired view label.
I have used i logic on several occasions successfully but im not experienced at all. The way I see this working is for a sketch symbol to be inserted below a view when it is created,the standard view label being omitted & the Scale/Name/Sheet details linking to the sketch symbol through parameters.
