AutoCAD Inventor :: Ilogic - Programmatically Add Parts List
Jun 19, 2013im trying to programatically add a parts list into a drawing whilst programatically creating the drawing - the code works fine without the parts list code. The error its showing is 'Parameter incorect' on the line that sais PartsList.add(... In the past when ive got this error with other code it has been because ive used an incorrect parameter (e.g. decimal instead of an integer).
My error is somewhere inside the oPartsList.add(>>ERROR SOMEWHERE HERE<<<)
oDrawDoc = InvApp.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject,AssyTemplate,True)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Sort Using ILogic
Nov 7, 2011I have got some ilogic code that i have patched together to sort my parts list in inventor which works great but it will not update all sheets at the same time as when we design we have multiple sheets with parts list on and the odd one without.
add to this code to update all sheets partlists and also recognise that some sheets will not have partslists on so this will need to skip.
below is code that is used to sort

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Change Parts List Style
Feb 8, 2012Below are 2 rules that run in succession to create and save a parts list from a base view in a drawing.
I am now trying to set the parts list style to a custom style, ideally while creating the list.
Also, I have to manually go into the list to turn off visibility of certain items (based on material), does I can do this with Ilogic? I ask because these steps precede a rule that automates placing base views of all parts in the parts list. If I could get the style and visibility right, I could automate the entire process.
Looking for changing such a style with ilogic?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Control Position Of Parts List
Oct 31, 2011I am creating a drawing controlled by ilogic. The assembly can vary in size considerably so I have set the IDW to change between sheet size A3 and A2 accordingly using ilogic. However, when the sheet size is changed, the parts list stays in a static position.
Currently, the parts list is situated in the top right corner up against the title block and the border. So when changing from Size A3 to Size A2, the parts list ends up in the middle of the page. Is there anyway i can control the position of the parts list so it changes with the sheet size change?
I know I could simply move the partslist to the bottom left corner, which is a work around. However, I'd like to be able to keep the drawings in line with the company standard.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Category Field To Parts List Using ILogic?
Apr 4, 2013I am Trying to add the category Field to the parts list, if a sting exists in the field. I want to run this as a rule at the Drawing Level. I can check if there is a sting in the Category Field But not sure how to add this in the Parts List.

Aug 21, 2013At my company when producing drawings for manufacture we require a sheet for any steel profiles to be cut!..We do this by selecting the assembly from base view,hitting model view tab, selecting presentation and choosing the relevant profile from the drop down!
Once the profile is placed, we highlight the view and hit the parts list tab which obviously creates a parts list, but for the whole assembly, we then have to edit the parts list by turning off the visibility of the lines of all the parts which are not relevant!!...as you can imagine this is quite a laborious task if you have 50 different profiles.
The reason for this is to show the qty, steel grade and part number to the suppliers. My question is, any code that will take the lines of the parts list that are not relevant to the selected view and turn the visibility of those lines off?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule To Print String To Parts List?
Mar 5, 2013I am trying to make an iLogic rule that gets mutliple strings from different places, and prints them to a user property in the Parts List.
My ultimate goal is to print the drawing number, sheet number and the item column value to the user property with the format being...
"XXXXX-X-X"
So far, i can get the drawing number from an iProperty and the sheet number easily. But im getting stumped on obtaining the item coloum value and printing it to the same row.
This is what i have so far...
Dim DWGNUM As String = iProperties.Value("custom", "DWG Number")
SheetNumber = Mid(ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.Name, InStr(1, ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.Name, ":") + 1)
MessageBox.Show(DWGNUM+"-"+SheetNumber, "DXF Number")
And print the message box output to a column in the parts list

Dec 5, 2011We would like to be able to export parts lists from our drawings into Excel, so we can build a master item list on a project to get purchasing information on long lead purchased items early in the design phase.
We are thinking of exporting the part list to an Excel file named the same as the drawing file each time the drawing is checked in to the vault. We will have another VBA routine that does some sorting and other magical things to build the master list in Excel.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Parts List To CSV / Sheet Error
May 3, 2013Inventor Professional 2012.like many companies we export our parts lists (in our case, .csv) for our MRP system. I borrowed and modified Curtis' ilogic code that I found in previous posts on these forums to fit our needs. The only thing I'm getting hung up on is the sheet in which the parts list is found.
Right now the code is pointing only to sheet 1 to find the parts list. Unfortunately some of our assembly drawings have many sheets and the parts list can be on any of them. So whenever I run the rule in a drawing that doesn't have the parts list on sheet 1 I get an error. Is there some way for Inventor to search all the sheets? or at the least search on the active sheet?

name = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 - Open Dialog Does Not Retain Resizing After Parts List Export
Jun 10, 2012I had resized the File>Open dialog in Inventor. I had resized it so that it was quite large so I realized pretty quickly when I opened another file, that the window size had rest to its original size.
What I found was that if I export a parts list to excel, then go to File>Open, for some reason the size of my file>open dialog is cleared.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Showing Two Instances Of Parts List And Adding Custom Parts
Mar 30, 2012On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Virtual Parts Weight Total BOM And Parts List
Aug 7, 2013I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??
AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?
Dec 9, 2013Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies Showing In Parts Only Parts List
Jul 10, 2012I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.
So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.
One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.
AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW View / Parts List Changes From Structured To Parts Only
May 3, 2013IV 2010 Suite
Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Not Selecting For Parts List
Sep 22, 2011I have a .idw that I'm trying to make a parts list on. I select parts list and highlight everything. There are two screws that are not showing up on the parts list. I cannot select them manually either. It's acting like they are not there. Even if I do a complete parts list (adding the assemblies parts into one big list), they still don't show up.
How can I select these parts? What is wrong with them that they do not show up in the parts list?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Parts List From The BOM
