I have some C# code that uses Apprentice to print some idw files. I am having issues that some sheets get printed with a big black splotch on them. I have attached a screenshot of one of these files. If I open it in Inventor View 2014 and print it from there, it prints fine.

I've a program which saves a inventor drawing to DWF. See code below. Here for I must use inventor 11 to open the file and then save it to DWF.
Is there a way to do the same with apprentice?
Public Sub Make_DWF(strFilenaam As String)
'open document invisible
Set oINVDoc = oINVApp.Documents.Open(strFilenaam, False)
'make DWF
Dim addins As ApplicationAddIns

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a list of possible options for Apprentice with the Open with Options method?
Even if the Apprentice.open call is inside of a Try Catch, it doesn't throw an error when a file is missing references it just goes back to the routine that called it.
Dim oDocOpenOptions As NameValueMapoDocOpenOptions = oApprenticeApp.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMapCall oDocOpenOptions.Add("SkipAllUnresolvedFiles", True)
The documentation says it available in Apprentice but the error message is "Not implemented".

My code is
Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument = inventorApp.ActiveDocument Dim oParameters As Parameters oParameters = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters() Dim oLengthParam, oWidthParam, oHeightParam As Parameter oLengthParam = oParameters.Item("d0") oWidthParam = oParameters.Item("d1") oHeightParam = oParameters.Item("d2") oLengthParam.Expression = TextBox1.Text oWidthParam.Expression = TextBox2.Text oHeightParam.Expression = TextBox3.Text oPartDoc.Update()
how can achieve the same method using ApprenticeServer?
I'm trying to create a routine that enables the user to change the iProperties on an assembly through Apprentice. I had a sample file that was working last week but when I ran it again I suddenly have a runtime error -2147467259 (80004005). Here is the sample below:
Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long
Private Type OPENFILENAME
lStructSize As Long
hwndOwner As Long
[code]....
I search a way in a Csharp program to read iproperties without open file in appentrice because it's time consumption. When we right-click on the file in the windows explorer, the iproperties come instantly.

My
objInvDoc = objapprenticeServerApp.Open(strFileName)objInvDoc.DisplayName = strDisplayName
Something odd happens: I have two parts, last saved with exactly the same Inventor-Build (2011 SP1 (Build 150282100, 282)). After changing the display name of these two parts, the debugger shows the correct value for the DisplayName-Attribute. But when I open the files, Inventor displays the correct value for one file, but not for the other. In the corrupted file, the old value is displayed.
I'm trying to Copy an Assembly via the Apprentice Server functionality.
But I don't want to copy all files with the filesave as feature. Some of the files, has to be used again as the source file. For Example Content Center files should not be copied. Or maybe also some specific defined internal standard files.
Is there a possibility to get this work?
In the moment, I got all these files via:
[...] For each Element As Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument In doc.AllReferencedDocuments [...]
maybe it's possible to say something like that:
If Element=ContentCenterDocument then BlaBlaBla
I know, there's an "Inventor.ObjectTypeEnum.kContentCenterObject", but I don't know, how to use it, to check the ApprenticeServerDocument with that.-
I´m trying to access ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents using Apprentice Server but it tells me "Not implemented". Is there any other way to figure out whether a component is derived or not?

I created a small object using Inventor 2013.
The base of this object is just a cylinder with diameter of 3.599 mm. (see attached image M1).
Now I wanted to 3D print this object. Inventor creates the *.STL-file.
The Inventor 3D print dialog shows a witdh and length of arround 4.12 mm by a scaling of 1.000 !?!
Why it is bigger than what I created? It should be 3.6 mm.
If I upload this to shapeways they show also 0.4 cm width / length. So my object will printed a littlebit larger than I created !?!
Even if I change the resolution inside the STL-dialog it does not change anything. Why the STL-Object is bigger than the model I created?
I am trying to batch plot a series of IDW drawings through task scheduler, the results is the wrong proportions and size, I am wondering if there is setup command in task scheduler that can be modified or if the proportions are wrong due to the IDW setup within Inventor itself i.e. page not setup correctly.

I am working in Inventor Professional 2008, using the harness package. I have a few white wires in the model I am trying to print off as a nailboard and in a routing diagram. The problem is simply that white wires do not print well on white paper. I can print pdfs using "print all colors as black" but then all greyed out components print poorly.Is there a way to print an outline on these wires, for example?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy production team uses the Inventor View to view drawings once they are released from engineering. Sometimes they get printed so they can send a copy to our vendors. When ever they print from Inventor View 2014 the lines that are on the Visible Layer do not print. Also the lines in the titeblock are not very dark even though the "print all colors black" has been checked. It does not matter which printer or computer is used.

However i recently created a model that has an M40 Thread as part of the model. However when i try to 3D print it, it doesn't recognise the thread and it isn't printed. I see the thread on the ipt but once it is saved as an stl it seems to disappear.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe'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.
Is it possible to setup inventor to print (for example) to BY DEFAULT print A size in letter format, B size in 11x17 ect?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have created a complex Inventor drawing (Inventor 2013) of a very large plant item which we need to print at about 2AO to put up on a wall for training use. We want to create a high resolution PDF file of the drawing first and then print the PDF having checked the quality and resolution in Acrobat Reader.
We have tried exporting to PDF but we found that the colour shaded fills, behind the lines, are too compressed and the resolution very poor. We tried increasing the paper size but this did not work.We have tried creating a plot file by printing to file using the driver of a large roll feed plotter and then creating a PDF from the resulting file. This was a little more successful but still a long way short of the resolution or line quality we require. When you zoom in the curved lines are very jagged and the colour fill still not good.
We tried printing to a generic Postscript driver but this was even worse as we didn't have enough control over paper size or resolution.
I was wondering if there is a macro for printing and PDFing a drawing simulataneously so I don't have to essentially print the same drawing twice. I have done a little research thus far and have turned up nothing. They don't have to necessarily print and pdf at the same time, rather have one print and then the other PDF (or vice versa) once completed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a program within Inventor that list all components of an assy with their properties (iproperties and properties from Producstream) and allow an export of the bill of material to Excel with our company layout.
I want to add a function to my program in order to print all drawings that belong to an assy.
I have the list of components and I want to use the new functionality of the Producstream menu that allows us to open the attached drawing.
But I don’t know which library and which property.
what is the best workflow to ensure that i am printing the most latest idw without opening the idw one by one?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor professional 2014.
I heard that in this version,
a drawing printing can now be saved so that each time I have a format A to print, it prints format A by default.
Each time I have a format B to print, it prints format B by default.
Now, if i have a drawing format A and another drawing format B to print, i have to change the format prining page each time.
I'm doing a spoof image of 'The Apprentice' logo (skyline, two-tone image of Trump etc...) and included in the subtle changes is the replacement of Don's image with that of another guy (my friend Nick - that's who the print is for). I have a full-colour image of Nick, but can anyone tell me what steps in Photoshop 6.0 I can go through to end up with a style similar to that used for Trump? I came close when using the Filter>Artistic>Cutout function, but the resulting look was lacking too many facial features...
