AutoCAD Inventor :: Placing A Label On Harness
Nov 15, 2011
How to place a label on a harness.
i have created a label in library, modified and saved. WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO INSERT????
Maybe i have this mixed up. Are we talking about a virtual label or a real label (textbox describing label)?
I would like to add a 1-12" plastic covered adhesive label at each connector to identify the connector. Usually we place a text box with an identifier and a table with the label data on the drawing.
This is what i am trying to do. Is this not right? Is this the nailboard label that inventor is talking about or am i out to lunch?

I have these cable segments in my models. The problem I have is that when I render them or zoom out all of the work points and segment points become visible. It's only when zoomed in that they disappear.Look at the attached images for an example.I would really like my rendered videos to not have bright yellow spots.

Is it possible to edit harness properties, for instance, RefDes, of electrical components via API? We need it for integration of Inventor Professional with local ECAD software.

I have created a cable/harness in my assembly. I have to edit the cable to change visability to centerline display in order to turn off visibility in a drawing view. The issue is that on one sheet of my drawing I need to show the cable, but not on the others. As soon as I turn the rendered display on, the cable shows up on all sheets and the visiblity command has no affect. Is there a hotfix for this? I don't remember a problem like this in 2011.

I'm creating a wire assembly and i already have in me a length for my wire.
How can I apply this in my assembly for Inventor? It seems only the diameter can be specified but not the length.

In Inventor dwgs when I turn the visibility of the harness assembly off (the icon turns gray) the harness still remains visible in the View on the dwg. My co-worker is having the same problem. This is happening on several different inventor dwgs where the harness is not visible (the visibility is turned off) but once an edit is made to the assembly (such as making a part visible) the harness becomes visible even the the visibility is turned off in that View. I don't know if this is related to the recent installation of service pack 4 for inventor 2010 as this problem recently began occurring.

I would like to include Terminals and other virtual parts in het BOM on my drawing. For this I need to generate a report. I have defined my own virtual parts but somhow their properties are not accessible. You can see 88 items but this is the total of all segements and pins. Somehow partnumbers show as "---". I have included the report configuration file I am using.

When I try to create a custom ribbon cable I get a message that reads:
"The cable and harness library is being edited by another user or is marked as read only. The Cable and Harness Library will be opened in read-only mode. No changes can be made to the cable and harness library, but wires and cables can still be inserted into the harness assembly."
In my project file I made "use style library" to = Read-Write

I have a bit of problem that've been cracking my head. I create a wires, segments using cable harness environments in Inventor. After I created those, I want to see rendered image, but only centerlines appears. I have already change the harness settings into real image(rendered) but still centerlines appears.
Weird thing is that I create other assembly, it all works perfectly. But I cannot recreate my design, it is already so much work.

How do I ad my own terminals, seals etc. under Connecter Pin Propertiesvirtual parts, and how do get this information on the nailboard.
Alternatively, I would to put this information(seals and terminals that are to be used with the connector) directly on the connector that i publish to content center, some sort of property/text, that I can retrieve on the drawing/nailboard.

I am working on a model that uses a few lanyards to attach some pins to a plate. For the cable in the lanyard I used the cable and harness to create an assembly from segments. I just now need to know how to change the color of the wire from blue to green and also how to remove the yellow outline. I want to use the images in a manual so I want them to look correct.

I am looking for a way to link custom harness properties to equal i-properties for an electrical connector, My end result is I would like the Cable and Harness report generator gather "description" but I will not recognized the i-property " description" but if I create a custom harness property "description" it will report that. I would like the custom harness property to equal the i-property of the part, or am I going about this the wrong way?

I have an assembly that I want to put some wires in, but every time I create a wire between pins, or a segment, or anything through the Cable and Harness tool, the centerlines don't show up. The rendered wires can appear, but without any sort of way to get at the centerline, I can't set its path or anything like that.
I was wiring up components no problem in a sub assembly, but for some reason it just won't work in my top level assembly. I thought it might be a problem with how I added pins to the components, but even trying to create a wire between 2 connectors from the content center gave the exact same results.

I am using Cable and Harness (Autodesk Inventor 2012 64 bit on Win7 64bit) and when trying to create the segment I only get the error message "The sweep operation failed for the harness segment Segment1 Adjust the segment geometry and try again". It does not matter what data for diameter and bend radius I am using under "Harness properties", it never works. When checking the "Bend radius" for violation it says nothing. I am attaching the files.

I have a client that is trying to use the Cable and Harness feature, but receives the following error:
"The Cable & Harness template was not found. The specified location for the project is:

Please verify that the template file exists.
He has Inventor installed on his D drive, along with most of his other programs. OS, etc are on the C drive. I have verified that he has harness.iam and a Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl in the following location for Inventor 2013

Am looking for the feasibility to check space available in Segment.I've assigned a segment diameter as 2 mm, and i have 2 wires have .9 mm dia each, Now i want to know what will be the remaining space available in the segment.
in another way around, if am adding more wires in the segment will inventor give any error message stating that there is no space for route more wires in that segment,

After I create a wire it will not be displayed as a rendered wire. There is no indication of error in the wire (to sharp angle) and this is also happens for a straight wires with no turns.
I have made multiple revisions of an assembly and in older reviosions I can make the wires and they are shown as rendered. But in the latest revision it is not possible. In a older revision I had a harness assembly than deleted it could this have any affect?
Also is there any setting that hides rendered wires that I might have turned on accidently?I have a student licence and the assembly has about 700 parts if that makes any difference.

Is there a relatively easy way to root multiple wires along the same path, with a predefined distance between them so there's no interference between them? Something similar to the attached picture... or packed even closer together.
I got in a hole lot of trouble to get the result from the picture and I was hoping that there is an easier way... a workaround... something.
Using segments is not an option (only maybe as an intermediary step) but in the end I have to have all the wires as separate entities.

Subject: Inventor placing Iparts in Assembly (Autodesk Inventor 2010)
Problem:
When placing an Ipart into a project Assembly it will make a copy of that variant and place it in the same map as the Ipart.
So when variant B of Ipart A is selected it will make a copy of variant B in the same folder where Ipart A is located.
Question:
Is it possible to make a “save as” option or another similar manner to save those copies of variant B in a project map of a project assembly?
Instead of saving all the Ipart variants to a single folder. So each time a new project is started they have all the parts in the same folder.
Reason:
I am making a local library for parts that are used for repairs. These parts have many variants and some times need to be customized for a repair.
The current system keeps polluting itself causing the users to loose their parts and accidentally delete the original parts etc.
I contacted Autodesk support and theyrecommended to post this question on this forum. They did mentioned that vba programming could achieve this. I have no knowledge of this type of programming.

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.

We are developing a macro for steel structures and we know about the program to insert or place a content center component in assembly through VBA programming. If there are provisions for changing the object type and changing length in that importing process it will be very useful.

I am using Inventor 2012.
I created an assembly in Inventor and now I am creating a drawing for it in Inventor. I have a few views placed of the same assembly.
Is there a way to lock one view in the assembly? For example, my assembly consists of a door, I would like to have one view with the door open and another view with the door closed on the same drawing using the same assembly link.
