AutoCAD Inventor :: Lock Part List Column Width?
Aug 15, 2012
I am trying setup a default part list for my company in Inventor, where I am stuck at is I wish to lock the width of the columns so on all our drawings the part list is the same width, I have assigned each column its own width and when I bring it in to the drawing it's the correct size but I am able to drag the edges, and change its size, I want to lock it so if you try you cant
am I missing something obvious in the menus? Or is this a limitation with inventor.
I am using the latest version of Inventor 2013

don't see a way to lock out the part list in drawing so no one can cheat and edit the part list.
Is there a way to lock out the part list edit feature?
I want the user to fix the model iproperties not the part list.

Is there a command in Inventor to add values in a column in the Part list ( BOM) and to display a total value bottom like the Grand Total in Revit?

I'm using Autodesk Inventor 2012 SP1 64 Bit on a Windows 7 machine without vault.
I seem to be missing something. I cannot get the parts list in assembly drawing to fill the part number column. See the image below.
The BOM has the part number field filled out as shown below. Is there someway that I need to map the iProperty to the part number column in parts list?

When editing the properties for the title block on each sheet of my drawing, I've become rather annoyed with the default column width of the Value column. It always opens to the same width no matter how many times I change it. Every time I edit something in the title block, I have to resize this column to see everything I'm editing.
Any way to change the default width it opens at?

I use a style library. Have it in a read-only mode in the ipj file. My drawing created a new template with a rev table with required columns.
Now, I create a new drawing file and choose this template. add few views, insert a rev table. The rev table columns headings are the same as in the template. But the column widths aren't same as in the template.
I use manage->update. It warns me that the drawing would be matched as per the style library. I agree & OK.
No use, the columns are not same size? Though the style is read only from the drawing, I go to open the style editor to check the column widths. They are different from the template.

I need to create a column in a partslist that reads IDENTIFYING NO. instead of the factory PART NUMBER title. When i create the new property in the column chooser dialog box how do i get inventor to pull the PART NUMBER from iprops over to the IDENTIFYING NO. column.

I have a parts list, with a column, that the description in the column heading is longer than the width of the column. I would prefer not making the column wider, so is there a way to increase the row height of the heading, and wrap the text?

I am trying to generate a parts list that will contain a stock number from the BOM.
When I go to customize my parts list I cannot add a stock number as it's not on the list of properties available.
Is there any chance to add other properties? (i am aware that I can add a custom property but it won't be linked to my BOM.

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
[Code]...

I'm trying to create an iLogic rule that will print a text string to a cell or column of a parts list in inventor.My code so far...
Sub Main()
On Error Resume Next
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
[code]...
I want to print what is in the MessageBox into a cell in the parts list, and i am stumped.The cell i am trying to print to is a custom property in the Parts List.

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.
Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

Any way to make Acad C3D hold the value for MTEXTCOLUMN = 0? I am having issues with it resetting my column width to 0, even after I have formatted all the Mtext to read how I want it shown. Once I close a drawing and open it again, the formatting changes that I have previously set return to "dynamic" and column width = 0. I just want to turn off the dynamic setting so it stops messing up the formatting, but I can't get it to retain the dynamic setting. Currently running C3D 2012.

In our “Parts list” (or BOM as we call it) on our .idw’s we have field for “LENGTH”. For example, we use round tubing. We would list the cut length of that piece of tube in the “LENGTH” column. As it stands now, we add “LENGTH” as a custom iproperty in the .ipt. Then in the drawing we add that property to the parts list to capture the length. This works fine, but I’m wondering if we can eliminate some steps by capturing the actual dimension from the sketch to automatically populate the “LENGTH” value. Needless to say, this would eliminate room for error (less typing) and will update the value automatically if length is changed or if the part is copied. I suppose the same would apply for “WIDTH” on sheet metal parts... How do I do this?

Currently I'm converting one of our machines from AutoCAD to Inventor 2009.
This machine can vary from 1200mm to 1600mm and has a couple of options to choose from for our customers.
These dimension changes are all driven by a single excel file and the options are controlled in the an IAssembly.
Some of the 2D drawings will have a variable width, in our ERP system they are marked width dependable as followed: "partnumber/1200" or "partnumber/1410" in which 1200 or 1410 is the machine width.
Is it possible to have the 2D drawings automatically update the partnumber? so if I configure my machine as a 1200mm machine it automatically changes my drawingnumber to the actual machine width?

I am trying to create a iLogic Rule that will measure the Length, Width and Thickness of a part and ut it into the custom fields we have. I am having a hard time remembering how to get it to do it from the assembly level. I want to run this on the assembly and have it populate all the parts inside of it. The code below will do it for a part but what is it I add to get it to drill down into the assembly?
iProperties.Value("Custom", "THICKNESS")=Measure.ExtentsHeight
iProperties.Value("Custom", "WIDTH")=Measure.ExtentsWidth
iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH")=Measure.ExtentsLength
Then I want to add this formula to the Stock Number iProperty = <Length> X <Width> I can get it to add the values but I can not get it to add the formula to the stock number.

I am using AutoCAD 2011. I have been reading of similar problems with MText: I format the text in the drawing to my desired appearance and once I close and reopen the drawing, the column widths have compressed and muddled the text legibility. After reading other similar posts, I set MTEXTCOLUMN to 0 and changed all MText to "No Columns." MTEXTCOLUMN is still set to 0, but the other properties have reverted back to dynamic columns, so I am still having this problem. To check against this being a problem on my specific workstation, a coworker opened the file on his workstation and experienced the same text compression.

I've assembly with multiples sub-assemblies, when I put part list with "parts only", it shows all parts of sub-assemblies and when I put with "structured", it shows all sub-assemblies(structured).
Is there a possibility to show selected sub-assemblies in parts while remaining as structured in one part list?

Several times, we generate a drawing, and the text widths in the columns vary greatly. Some have text that is ten characters long, and others have thirty-plus characters.
Is there a way to be able to select the table (or perform the command to all tables in the current layout) and have each of the columns expand to the appropriate width, that depends on the longest string of text in that column, for each column. The problem I see, is that some tables have two columns, some have six, and of course other with any number in between. The same is also true for the amount of rows.

I got this routine off the In The Trenches blog and am trying to change it, some. For some reason when I export I can only get 4 columns to export. So what the heck am I missing here? The Part List I am using has all the colums I am trying to export on it.

I have little problem for synchronize balloon with part list where some times I put single component to main assy for create detail drawing. The problem is balloon from single component must change manually for synchrone with Part List. If number changed in part list sometimes I forgot for change balloon. So it's become miss match between balloon and part list. How to make this become synchron.
Please see attached file.

i have an already edited part list (because there are parts that come from different assemblies and other ones that don't have to appear in that part list) and i like to show the total weight of my drawing, that doesn't correspond with any assembly.
So, there is any possibility of summing up the values of a part list column.
