I've made a component pattern in an assembly using an iPart. The iPart as several different lengths, but I cannot switch lengths in the assembly. In other assemblies, right clicking on the Table icon allows me to change lengths, but this assembly will not.
View 2 RepliesI have a sheet metal part that I converted into an iPart and I set up different rows with different sheet metal styles. What I want to do is run an iLogic code to change to a specific row which in turn would change the actual material of that sheet metal part....I've tried the snippet iPart.ChangeRow but cannot get it to run the code. I'm not sure if I'm not doing something right or what...

This one work:
If L(i) = 1 Then oOcc.RenderStyle = _invApp.ActiveDocument.RenderStyles.Item("Red")
If L(i) = 2 Then oOcc.RenderStyle = _invApp.ActiveDocument.RenderStyles.Item("Yellow")
But I want to change like this and it not work:
Lcolor(1)="Red"Lcolor(2)="Yellow"L(2)=1L(1)=2for i=1 to 2oOcc.RenderStyle = _invApp.ActiveDocument.RenderStyles.Item(Lcolor(L(i)))next
What's wrong?
I have a part that occurs nine times in an assembly. These were all the same parts before but now I need to make them table driven iParts in order to add a custom iProperty that changes to make them all different. They are all the same except for this on iProperty field that changes.I can create the iPart no problem. My questions are:
1.) Should I just open the part file and make it an iPart?
2.) Do I need to replace the files in the assembly somehow?
3.) I would assume that I can just edit the file to make it an iPart and then use some kind of "change component" right click to select which one goes where right?
4.) Is there some other workflow I should be using?
We are using Inventor and Vault pro 2013.
I have an iPart in which I want to change the File Name Column from "Member" to "Part Number". These columns are not the same and makes the filenames for the members different when generated.
The challenge is that I already have about 100 members generated and used in different assemblies. I want these to be replaced by the new files and be deleted.
If I change the File Name Column I will get 100 new files (ipart members) that is not used anywhere. The only way I know of to replace the 100 "old" members is to do this in Vault - one by one..
I have an Ipart I would like to have a Ilogic form to change the active Ipart. I tried iPart.ChangeRow but I did something wrong and it doesn't work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change the parameters of a custom ipart in an assembly after it has been inserted, or can I only do an insert using AddCustomiPartMember?
In that case I simply remove the previous occurrence and insert a new one I suppose?
In Inventor 2013 it was easily to switch in a drawing view between different iPart members. Through Edit view => Tab Model State and then it was possible to switch between different iPart members. So it was easy to make a copy in the Vault from only the dwg (from a iPart member) and then change the iPart member. Now in Inventor 2014 it is not possible anymore.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.
I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)
Is this possible?
How do I change the BOM structure of iParts from Normal to Purchased? The BOM editor in the assemblies that use the iParts have the iParts as read only. I can't find a way to change them to purchased from inside the iPart either.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn C++ can I use this function, using the key index Member string to select which row in the factory I want to insert?
In the docs all I see is Use an iPartTableRow (but no examples in C++).
Use an index, this works but I need to know the index before using it.Use a set of parameters in a string (but "[Member=142314]" does not seem to work. Can I not simple use a string with the appropriate member?
its possible to UN-author an iPart?

I have them in order in the table but they are mixed up in the browser.
Is there a way to do this.

I'm trying to take multiple parts of the same type and make them into one .ipt I began doing this and It seemed to be working fine. When I put those grouped .ipts into an .iam, Inventor creates a Subfolder of each .ipt and fills it with each part from that group and now those created ipts are unique unlinked parts (unlinked to the group ipt). I'm trying to reduce our file count and link our .ipts and .idws/.dwgs so this Inventor file creator results in the opposite of what I'm looking for. My question now is is there any way to modify this process to work the way I need it to or is there a completely different way that I should be doing this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I get the iPart information in a partlist.
I have a tupe DN 25 iPart where I can control the length, and i'll like to have a text I description field in my partlist that says "DN 25, Length = <actual length>".
the newest model I have made I have run into some troubles. When I switch between one member and another most parameters update correctly but the part is still requiring an update before the finished part is created.
When the feature small sheds is enabled the pattern isn't working correctly.It seems as though the height that controls the sheds is not updating during the member change process and is causing the pattern to be the wrong length.
I have set up a form to add my parameters as there are a large number in the ipart table.I can't generate my member files as they show the member before it is updated and is wrong.
Is it possible to show surfaces in a drawing view of an ipart member - although the option of include all surfaces is there I can't get them to show. Similar issue with showing sketches - get model sketches is there but nothing can be shown.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving this issue with IE9? I have a table driven iPart that has an expression in the description field. The expression is =PL <THICK> x <WIDTH>, so that as the thickness and width change the description of this plate also changes. I have recently added rows to this part for the use of bar instead of plate on certain shapes. In order for the bar description to match standard steel shape nomenclature the expression on these parts needs to be =BAR <WIDTH> x <THICK>. How can I add the description to the iPart table so that I can simply edit the bar parts to be as needed?
Some things to note:
1.) These are custom iParts so when the item is inserted you select the thickness, file name, save location, etc.
2.) There are about 705 lines to this iPart right now and I would prefer not to go higher.
3.) I would like to keep these as the same iPart instead of having two different files.
4.) I need the description to be an expression because long after these parts are placed, they sometimes change and I need the dimensions to update after the fact like all our other parts (so don't forget that these one won't and then the drawings are incorrect).

When I create a configuration in one iPart, I have one Extrusion’s sketch link to another supressed Extrusion and cause problem.
Can I supress sketch in iPart ?
If I can suppress that sketch and I think the problem will be solved.
I am experiencing a crash when I try and place an ipart (any of them) into a new drawing. The open file box works but when the base view is placed in the drawing it has an unexpected problem and crashes.
Is this a documented problem , and a hotfix is forthcoming or is this just me and something local to my installation. Normally my install is very stable.
I have been trying to create an ipart. Once the ipart is created i am un-able to edit the sketches of features with issues.
I need to modify a sketch and to create an alternate sketch (suppress/unsuppress) but get an error message when i try to edit the sketch.
