AutoCAD Inventor :: Numbers Are Added To Symbol When Using Symbol In Lieu Of Balloon
Mar 1, 2013
The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

I am trying to link my parts list to a drawing however all balloons have different numbers.
I open the assembly and check everything out from vault I open my bom and change item numbers. When I get back to my drawing and apply for auto balloon I get completely different item numbers in my balloons. We just updated our software to a new 2012 version so it's maybe something with set up.

I am putting balloons on an assembly drawing, but the circle is not appearing. The arrow, leader and number are there, but no circle. What could be wrong?

Is there a way to edit the text in a symbol instance without breaking the link to the symbol?
a really simplen example would be several instances of the same button graphic but with different labels.
I know these things are possible in Fireworks, but couldn't find a way to make it happen in Illustrator.

Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.

DIV_PLAY
MOUSEUP(COMMAND)
DIV_STOP
MOUSEUP (COMMAND)

I would like to do the following:
play "SYMBOL_2" - "DIV_ANIMATION_1" - "ANIMATION_1_START" from within "SYMBOL1" - "DIV_PLAY" with the mouseup command
URL....I know that i can sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("div_animation_1").play(); from within "div_play" but how do i access a point on the timeline and play from there...

So I'm playing around with Inventors Tube and Pipe to show how to do all of our flexible hose routing throuh our chassis. It is a large assemblly with alot of hoses, so it will take multiple views to show how to route all the hoses. I have done all the routing, but am now looking at how to document it.
I have the parts list setup to show each individual run. So for example if my assembly had two runs, my parts list would look like the following:
Item......Qty......Stock Number.........Description
1..........59".......6295645.................Gladhand to filter hose
2..........120"......6295645................Filter to Control Valve hose
Now my idea is to show a couple of ISO views on the front page, along with the parts list. On the ISO views I would make a bunch of Detail Views on the following sheets, and then in each detail view, I will use balloons to identify which lines are which.
Now say ther eare a dozen pages, I don't want people to search all 12 pages just to find which detail views Item 1 shows up in. Is there any way to automatically show in the Parts List that Item 1 is shown on pages 1,2,3,6,7,9,12 and that Item 2 is shown on pages 2,3,5,7,10,11,12? This list would populate based on which sheets have a balloon for that given item number.
Any better way to document hose runs in a large assembly? In the end the goal is so that someone could pick up the drawing package, know they are running the "Gladhand to Filter hose", find it in the parts list, and then flip to the appropriate pages that show how to route that hose.

When I save an IDW as a PDF using the 'Save Copy As' function the spacing on the diameter logo for dimensions running up the page gets lost and makes it difficult to read and confusing. (see attached pic). I am not sure if it is a style thing, or a template issue, or just a general inventor fault.

Seeing the behavior for these symbol alignments, preferably also in earlier version of inventor?
Unable to display content. Adobe Flash is required.
In the video i'm showing an A2 sized sheet, the effect is less apparent on smaller sizes but still noticable.
But i'm mainly trying to establish if this is worth opening a support ticket for...

We have a user that has a mysterious red cicle symbol with a slash through it showing up on a draft in a model. I've attached a screen capture of it. The drawing isn't showing any other errors but this symbol won't go away.

When using "Hole and Thread Feature Note" to annotate a counterbore in an IDW, I can add the parameter for the counterbore depth (red circle in the attached screen capture), but the symbol is not available in the symbol drop down list (blue arrow).
Seems like an oversight that the parameter is available but the symbol isn't, especially when the symbol is used for the parameter toggle. Is there a way to add it to the drop down list?

In IV9 SP1, is there a way to set what the default weld symbol is in the IDW? Every time I place a weld symbol, it randomly defaults to something different.
As the vast majority of our welds are fillet welds, I'd like that to be the default.

We've been having trouble with all our IDW's, whenever we put a dimension or text with the diameter symbol it plots as 'Q'.
Even in print preview it still appears as the diameter symbol, although when actually printed, it comes out as 'Q'. To combat this in the meantime we have firstly been creating PDF's which display the correct diameter symbol and then printing.
i.e Ø30 on IDW prints as Q30 on paper.
We are using Autodesk inventor suite 2009.

I have the attached symbol next to parts in an assembly, I'm not sure what this is, I have updated all components in the assembly and checked that in the sketch doctor for error however there are none.

I have a weldment assembly. It is a subassembly under a main assembly. In the 2D drawing of this main assembly, I tried to indicate the welding symbols for the subassembly assembly. The "Get Weld Symbol" is grey out.
How can I indicate welding symbol in the 2D drawing?

How to treat reference diameter dimensions.
If I open up an session of AutoCAD, reference dimensions enclose the diameter symbol in the parenthesis.
Using Inventor, however, the diameter symbol is put outside the parenthesis.
Which is right? It seems silly to make extra work for the user for otherwise identical drawings.

While editing and updating my idw drawing, somehow a sketched symbol disappeared. I really don't care about that. But this sketched symbol had a hatch in it (a fill actually) and this fill seam to be painted on my drawing right now. I can't select it, so i can't delete it. The only way it vanishes, is when i delete the whole view, with all of the dimensioning etc. i put on it. Anyway got a clue how to delete this hatch without deleting my view?

Adding a leader by checking a box when inserting a sketched symbol. My problem is regarding the leader start point. Can we change the justification of the leader or text, so it does not finish centered on my text? I want the leader to connect outside the text box to correspond to our presentation standards.

I need to create skech symbols to illustrate mounting schemes, so without scale. I need to put dimensions in the symbol, which are only annotation, not parametric. This dimension must be visible once the symbol inserted on the sheet.
When I create the dimension in the sketch, it is always a paramertric dimension, which drve the drawing and is not visible in the inserted symbol.. How can I do to have only an annotation ? (I precise the option "sketch only" does not function on dimensions)

I have a symbol that gets placed in a certian location on a sheet. If the sheet changes size i would like the symbol to relocate itself. Usually i could just find it, delete it and replace it but this one is different. It has 16 prompted entries that may have been populated by the user.
Easy option=Be able to move the symbol.
Difficult option=Load 16 prompted entries into the a dynamic array and replace save the symbol in the new location.
I did some reading on attributes, would adding an attribute to the sheet location allow the symbol to move with it.
