I know I can select multiple parts in the browser and selecting them individually in the model window. Is there a reason or a way to select multiple parts by dragging a window like in acad or even .iam files?

what this error means and what's causing it and how to fix it?
IV2010, editing a multi body part gives these errors:
1. No more memory available. Attempt to allocate 208 bytes of memory failed.
and
2. See attached.
This error is preventing me from saving or closing the program.
I am working on a multi body IPT and i would like to use some purchased valves and air cylinders in the design.Is it possible to put them into the IPT. I have downloaded the cad files and converted them to IPTs.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 17 years of Unigraphics / NX and 2 months of AutoCAD 2013 3D experience . I am designing a welded table that has lots of tubes to be aligned to each other. It appears that snaps do not work on solids and there is no way to do a point to point solid move in Inventor. Is there any way to select a solid, snap to a base point, then move or copy to a snap destination point of another solid? Does this need to be done in an assembly drawing? If so, do I have to create a file for each tube and then bring each of them into an assembly? I would like to draw the table as one part. Designing all the parts together. The lack of snaps is strange to me. I can only snap to end points in sketches. No midpoints?? I must be missing something very basic and easy. I have not tried an assembly drawing yet.
I have been working through hours and hours of training videos. Everything but move, copy and paste has been pretty easy. I think I need to find an AutoCAD to Inventor transition video. There are no training courses in my area. So I'm stuck with online training. This problem is never addressed and I can't ask the question on a video.
Nesting phantom iAssemblies within another iAssembly? We are having a problem with the BOM not generating the correct multi-item parts lists. Even though the individual iAssemblies act correctly when viewing there individual BOMs, when these parts are nested inside another iAssembly and switched (Table Replace) between individual items, the BOM shows all dash numbers as the current active one.
Any unresolved issues within iAssemblies and the BOM?
is it possible to multi select subparts in assembly using vba?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo there seems to be a problem with the multi body part functions in 2013.
Once you create a multi body, or a multi body feature, and then try to go back and edit it you can no longer select difference bodies.
A little more digging and it almost seems like the problem is that you can not use "ctrl" to multi select bodies.

We are using inventor 2011 and I would like to make the text wrap where I want it to not where the cell length determines. Can I do this in the ipropeties of the part? When I edit the parts list to move wrap the text manually the text turns blue of course, but this also negates the updating of parts automatically. In the part I use an expression to ensure that the description reverts back to the iproperties of the part ie =<G_L> X <G_W> - <MATERIAL>. I would like it to insert a text wrap then proceed to the next line with <STOCKNUMBER> - <PARTNUMBER> so I would look like:
12" X 6" - G40.21-44W
PL. 1/2 - PL-100
When I try to suppress the bodies in the multi-bodies part to clarify the drawing view, I can not do that the way I normally do that if I had an assembly and suppressed the component.
Is it something Autodesk can improve on or rather something I overlook.

How do you select parameters for export in parts that have already been published?
I have a part that I have published. There are some parameters that Ii would like to have available to the Parts List upon creation. I don't see a way to do this after the part has been published. I have been able to select the parameters for export before publishing and they will be marked for export when the part is placed form the content Center.2010 Suite-SP4 64bit

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 solid bodies in a part file driven by seperate ifeatures.
Why is it when i search down to the surface bodies then into say the first body, then component definition, then features, then i features it shows both ifeatures?
So it goes:
componentdefintion.surfacebodies.item(1).componentdefinition.features.ifeatures
Is there an area somewhere that only shows the 1 ifeature related to a solid?

I'm trying to find a proper workflow how to get my .ipt parts to right file format that fits to our nesting program. Nesting program is a quite old and doesn't support files newer than Autocad 2000 .dwg/.dxf.
Our current workflow is quite slow and painful, because we have to clean drawings manually and it breaks the link between drawing and 3D model:
1. Design parts in Inventor (.ipt)
2. Create drawing file in Inventor (.idw/.dwg)
3. Save a copy from drawing file to Autocad .dwg
4. Open the copy of drawing in Autocad, remove splines etc. and save in older Autocad 2000 .dwg format
5. Import to Nesting program
How should I do this that it won't break the link between .dwg file and 3D model and those drawings won't have any splines?
A couple parts that I moved from one subasy to another in an IAM are not showing in the associated IPN browser at all. Yet they are visible in the edit window & look as if they have tweaks applied. I can click on & highlight them but there is no sign of them in the browser at all.
The parts are definitely in the browser of the IAM file though.

I have only been using Inventor since late winter . I have create a "master" folder with an assembly, drawing, and excel cutlist. This folder also contains sub folders with the sub-assemblies and parts.
In my master assembly I created ILogic rules to change dimensions of the parts, to select different profiles and to select different sub assembly configurations (on/off). It works fine as is.
Now, the idea was to copy the whole "master" folder and rename it to a job, launch the master assembly and configure it, then save it. The issue is that, even though the master assembly is in a new folder, it still references the sub-assemblies and parts from the "master" folder. How do I write a rule to "save as" all these sub-assemblies and parts to the new location?

I have an IGES file that, when opened in Inventor, comes in as a single part. In the model tree of the part are 126 Solid Bodies, each with a "Base" in it. The parts are all solids, or appear to be. Is there a way to open this file so Inventor makes each "Body" a separate .ipt file, and the IGES file a .iam file (as it can with a .stp file)? I can't attach the file, as it's 36+Mb....

I have an assembly file I made in Inventor 2011 that I published to DWF. When I view it in Design Review 2013 not all the parts are visible. If I zoom in on the area that they are suppose to be, they magically appear, but can't get a good view of the whole assembly that way. This trick doesn't work for all missing parts. I have tried to hide/unhide the missing parts, but that does nothing.

I can open inventor and open idw file in VB.net. But could not reach to Parts List.. I checked Inventor2010ObjectModel and sawDrawingdocument>DrawingBOM but could not get success.
In some drawings, parts and trail lines will randomly disappear or get rearranged. Once the parts disappear, the only way we're able to get them back is by copy and paste the explosion into the presentation file and regenerate the view.what happened to the .idw file and how it should look.

When I insert a standard 6" square tube into an assembly there are all of the custom shapes and standard structural members to choose from. When I try to put the same tubing into a part file only the custom shapes are visible and no standard parts to choose from.
I can only guess that I have some obscure check box missing. There appears to be no good reason why I would be restricted in part files.
