AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Override Density?
Jan 14, 2013
I'm driving an Inventor GA using iLogic, within this GA are various guard sub-assemblies........... I designed it so that if the material for the sub assemblies is changed then the sheet thickness is also changed (eg, if alu = 3mm sht, mld stl = 2mm). Look at the attached, the grey parts are, in reality, meshed. However i do not want to create the meshed profiles so can i override the density (x0.7) using iLogic. I could override the mass by adding (0.7 x mass) BUT this does not update if the geometry changes (also driven by the GA.

Wondering if there is a way to change the ilogic snippet to override the BOM value based on a filename instead of the part number?

I'm trying to change the value of the qty in the bom using ilogic with this expression
ThisBOM.OverrideQuantity("Model Data", "Steps", "QTY_STEPS")
but it gives me the following error
Conversion from string "QTY_STEPS" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

What is the difference between an Override and a Child Override?
Why do some sections have Override Check Boxes but no Child Override Arrows, and vice versa?
What happens when you click a Green Check Mark in the box?
What happens when you click a Red "X" on the arrow?

I'm using Sheet Set Manager in Autocad 2011. I'm using 'page setup override', and as plot area 'print extents'. So far, so good. Until someone forgets something outside the title block, and the extents feature is not good anymore (several people working in the same projects).
So, I decide to use as plot area 'Layout' instead, typing the X & Y to determine the area to be plotted.
Now, the setup "override" doesn't override. It’s using the drawing plot area from the drawing itself, which completely defeats the purpose. Am I missing something?

In 2013, glass density is 2.18 g/cm^3. But in older versions, we had that as 2.56 g/cm^3 for many years. Google results range between 2.5 to 2.6 g/cm^3. Why 2013 has much lower value?

When I pull up material it list 1 density but when I go to iproperties that material has a much different density therefore giving an incorrect. mass reading. 2 1/2 days to install 2013.
How do you get the density of a matreial in material editor to be the same as the material density in Iproperties?
or is this another autodesk bug?

2013 working on an existing part not made from 2013. Density needs to be corrected. Where is the material browser?
or
What happens to older part materials that were created by customer when you upgrade (or downgrade as it has been for our company) from 2011 to 2013.

My company manufacturs many sheet metal parts that ends up being painted.We need to describe both material and surface treatment in the title blocks on our idw's. Inventor parts then have a selected material (the required steel type) and a color override is applied (the required paint job) But color override is not just like that to retrieve for the title block, like standard iproperties like
<MATERIAL> or <THICKNESS>

How I can override the CoG for an imported part. I have an imported motor as one part, Inventor sees the CoG as though it's one solid piece but in reality this is not true. I can override the mass so why cant I override the CoG???

I am clearing an override of a part in a subassembly. I tried to use the clear appearance button but I get message saying Active Design View has no appearance overrides which is not true. You can see in my attachment there clearly is an override from Chrome-Polished in the IPT to Satin- Brushed in the IAM.
There is no "Clear Override" in the Appearance pull down. I think I used to be able to click on color As Part in previous Inventor version but now it's different. The black areas are embossed features representing silkscreened graphics I need to preserve.
I tried to post the files in Inventor/Customer Files NG but the "new message" button was grayed out & not working.

I try to assign a shortcut to a function using VBA. (I find the same problem when I do it through the UI of Inventor)
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item(...).OverrideShortcut
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item(...).OverrideShortcutType
when I assign "" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kNoShortcut
when I assign "D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAliasShortcut
when I assign "Ctrl+D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAcceleratorShortcut
So far so good but now:
when I assign "F11" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType becomes kAliasShortcut resulting in:
I have to type F 11 to launch the command. What I want is to Press the key F11 to lunch the command instead of typing F 11
(This works good with Ctrl+D but not with F11)
Can I work around this to use the Function key's ?

I would like to overide the dimension value with a letter - Dim "A" etc. but the overide box will not accept an alphabetical input. At present, the only way I can get around this is by sketching the basic dimension box separately.

Is 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."

Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

im stuck on an assignment, below are the instructions.
Row 2: Use L_15:red
- Starting with the right side of row 2, connect midpoints of the cell with a line to form a rotated square dimond (which i did)
- Next offset each visible line segment 8' ft. in all directions till all areas are filled with the pattern trimming and filleting as requred to define each as in row 1.
- The next square in the row, sub-divide the inner square by drawing lines from the midpoints to form an inner sqare, the offset 4'ft. in each direction maintaing the new areas created and fill as before to define the areas. Remember to use the same logic as in row 1, fill all areas defined by red line boundaries.
- the next square in the row sub-divide the inner aware by drawing lines from midpoints to form another inner diamond, then offset 2' ft in each direction as in previous operations.
- continue this logic of sub-division and density till you finish the second row.
- when you finish you should have a row of 5 squares movies from tighter density to lighter density of lines from left to right.
i got past the 2nd cell, sort of stuck on the 3rd, 4th, 5th (going from right to left) how the next three cells would look like (on the second column)

In Acad 2012 (sp1, w64), it seems that, if a hatch has a scale too big to have something showing into the boundary, it renders as a solid hatch ! (previously, it rendered empty, as expected).
The attached file demonstrates the issue, with "dots" hatch samples at various scales. You can see that, at scale 80, where no point should be visible, it becomes solid !
It's a major annoyance, since I have lots of lisp-based automatic hatching of things, and, while it's not a problem to have an empty hatch whenever the boundary is too small for a given scale, getting a solid hatch instead is a big no-no.
How to get rid of this ?

I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.

I haven't undefined the default command, my definition of REFEDIT executes anyway. I wanna be able to run the default command from my definition.
doc.SendStringToExecute(".REFEDIT ", true, false, false); will loop forever.

I am still unable to assign a viewport color override to a 3D solid xreffed into the current drawing. Is there a fix yet? The override color shows in the vieport but when executing a "hide" or plotting the object reverts to it's original color. It would seem to be a large enough "bug" to warrant a hotfix

I recently was working with a few files and found that the density and feathering settings cause my files to crash when I use them as selection. Most recently, I had a raster mask at an density of 60%, and I selected that as a marquee, inverted it, and then selected a different mask and deleted it from the mask. Basically trying to isolate an area for masking. The second mask I applied was applied to a group, everything up to this point saved fine. But once I selected the mask, inverted etc. I tried to save and immediately photoshop became unresponsive and would crash. Is this a known bug? It's really frustrating, that the mask properties have lead to issues like this.

I am doing a tie rod the issue I have is when the length is between 2.001 and 2.250 we would drill thru all but only tap the ends .750 deep. If the part is 2.000 would would drill and tap thru in one step and not have to rotate the part in the lathe.
How do I get ilogic to understand if my number is between this 2.001 and 2.250 to lengthen the drill length parameter?Or add a mid plane cut? ( trying now code below reflects this try)
Not sure what way I want yet but I just can't seem to find a snippet or code to do this. I tried to add a list in the parameters for it to read but seems to do nothing.
If LENGTH <= "2" ThenFeature.IsActive("Thru_All") = TrueFeature.IsActive("Hole_A") = FalseFeature.IsActive("Hole_B") = FalseiProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = "RETURN ROLLER SHAFT, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "DIAM") & " Ø S/S, TAP THRU 3/8-16, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH") & " LONG"ElseFeature.IsActive("Thru_All") = FalseFeature.IsActive("Hole_A") = TrueFeature.IsActive("Hole_B") = TrueiProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = "RETURN ROLLER SHAFT, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "DIAM") & " Ø S/S, TAP BOTH ENDS 3/8-16, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH") & " LONG"End IfIf LENGTH = (My_List) ThenFeature.IsActive("Mid_Cut") = TrueElse Feature.IsActive("Mid_Cut") = FalseEnd If

I'm trying to modified (override) the surface label components using vlisp, similar to using text override, I pick the label, and found the text component, but it's seem I found the default, they all changes, plus I didn't see the override text.
where the override text and/or indivisible label property are stored?
