AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Model Reference Not Functioning
Jun 26, 2013I have been using Inventor 2012 and have been wanting to replace model references in drawings (.idw) with other parts. Inventor will let me select the Replace Model Feature, select the model to be replaced, and find the model I want to replace it with. It will even have the prompt appear asking if I want to continue with the replacement. The issue is that when I hit yes, nothing gets replaced.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Copy View / Replace Model Reference
Jun 12, 2012One of the new features in 2013 is the ability to copy a view that is on the idw. Is there a way to copy/paste a view, then replace the reference of ONLY the part in the view that was just copied?
What I have is two parts. For simplicity, just imagine both as a square plate. One has a hole in it, one doesnt. I have already dimensioned the square plate. Now I copy the view and paste it back on the sheet. I want to replace the reference of the one I just copied and change the reference to the part with the hole. If I use replace model reference command, it will replace both references, which is what I dont want.
Just a wish I guess, but the only way I can do this now it to place the second part on the sheet and start dimensioning it. Seems like a waste when we almost have the tools to quickly complete this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Measuring Between Tabbed Parts And Lost Dimensions With Replace Model Reference
Aug 27, 2012Two different problems (questions). These are IV2012 files but the problems are the same in 2013.
Open the two attached ipt's. Launch the Measure Distance tool and measure between the blue an red face on the DimTest. It should read 1 inch.
Change to DimTest Derive using the tabs on the status line. Measure still gives 1 in. Change precision to All Decimals. The mouse pointer changes to calipers and the distance now measure 1.004 (which is correct)
Switch back to DimTest again using the tabs.
Measure again and notice the mouse pointer still shows the calipers which imply that it is going to return all decimals but the dimension given is still just 1 inch. Either the mouse pointer should change back or all decimals should stick.
OpenDimTest.dwg. Manage> Modify> Replace Model Reference and pick DimTestDerive.
ALL dims disappear and the origin indicator goes sick.

Jan 15, 2013My problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Assembly With Part
Oct 6, 2012I am capturing a book-case design that I made long ago into Intentor. I am almost finished, and I want to produce .dwg files and a bill of materials of parts that can be held.
For various reasons, almost all the items in the existing design are assemblies, and the underlying parts correspond more or less to half of physical parts that are contained inside a repeating cell. I will almost certainly continue using this approach.
A simplified design that shows this is at [URL]..... in the file Display.iam
I created the file Slat.ipt by using derive (Slat.iam).
If I replace the Slat assemblies with the file Slat.ipt, the bill of materials will show parts that correspond to physical parts that I can hold in my hand, or list on an invoice. I can do this with many, many mouse operations.
To make this modification quickly, I attempted to do Component -> replace on the Slat assembly. I use this operation a lot to replace one version of an assembly with another. When I do it with a .ipt file, the system pauses for some tens of seconds, then crashes.
A brute force work around is to use the mouse to do the replacement, essentially rebuilding the entire project in place.

May 15, 2013I have 30 families of seals (arf arf!)
I would like to put family A in folder A
I would like to put family B in folder B
etc
During testing I had 10 seals in one folder & used :
Component.Replace("Part1:1", "OtherPartfilename.ipt", True)
But splitting the parts up into different folders breaks the model because (I'm guessing) the part can't be found. My thought was to have one folder (Seals) with subfolder (Seal A, Seal B,etc) - is there a way to search the sub folders & use replace?
If I stick with one folder it will end up containing 300+ parts which will look messy.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Sketch ICopy
Nov 27, 2011We get our clients acad drawings of the layout of the ceiling. Normally we use it as xref in acad. Now that I have placed the acad drawing in an .Ipt and placed them in a. Iam like you see in the files I sent. Then i place the panels with iCopy.
Now it happens that the layout drawing changes and I get a new acad drawing. I then replace it with the already placed drawing in the .ipt. This is fine until i update the .iam and then i get alerts that the constraints are no longer correct because the geometry is no longer be found.
What I can do is change the sketch in the .ipt but that is then done manually with the possibility of errors. Now my question is if you know a way to replace the drawing in the. Ipt and update so that the constriants stay correct in the .iam and the panels will change with the drawing?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Title Block C#
Oct 2, 2013I am trying to replace the title block of the first sheet of the active drawing via C#. I currently am receiving the following error on the last line of The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).
Why the code below is throwing this error? I have tried multiple variations of the code below to no avail and I'm sure this is something minor that I am overlooking. The title block definition under Drawing Resources is replaced with no errors, the title block on Sheet 1 is deleted just fine, but I can't seem to add a Title Block back in!
How Documents are defined:
Inventor._DrawingDocument oDoc = getDoc();Inventor.DrawingDocument sourceDoc =(Drawing Document) instance.Documents. OpenWith Options(sPath, options, false); Find, copy, replace: TitleBlockDefinition tBlock = sourceDoc.TitleBlockDefinitions[blockList.SelectedItem.ToString()]; TitleBlockDefinition newBlock = tBlock.CopyTo(oDoc, true); oDoc.Sheets[1].TitleBlock.Delete(); oDoc.Sheets[1].AddTitleBlock(newBlock);

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Part Using ILogic?

Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Components In Weldment Assembly
Mar 25, 2013In past I replaced components in Assemblies with this sub:
Sub testReplacePartInAss()
Call ReplacePartInAss("W:INVENTORTPart1.ipt", "W:INVENTORTPart2.ipt")
End Sub
[Code] .....
But if the assembly is a weldment assembly the line
If oOcc.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName = sInAssFilename Then
creates an error '91' that the object is not set.
What has to be changed in this code so that it will work with 'normal' assemblies AND weldment Assemblies too.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Replace Dimension Formula With Current Value
Nov 15, 2011During design development dimensions get modified a lot. E.g. shorten something by 25mm I just edit the feature dimension by tagging on "-25" in the edit dimension box. If lots of modifications are made the dimension gets messy since all the edits are saved (e.g. 150 mm - 25 mm +1 mm -5 mm). In sketch mode, I just retype the shown dimension, but for other features like offset work planes, extrusion depth, etc, the actual value isn't even shown anywhere. Is there any easy way to replace the formula with the current dimension value without having to measure the feature?
Basically, I like being able to use the dimension entry box as my calculator, but more often then not, don't want the calculation history saved.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace File And Modify Occurrence Name
Sep 10, 2012I need to rename and replace occurences in an assembly, then modify the occurence name.I rename and replace only Farme generator components, which is tested by <condiftion>.What I want to do :
- Num = ABC
- Original filename = toto.ipt
- New filename = ABC_toto.ipt, and Occurence name = ABC_toto
The code :
fileDir contain the file path
docFName contain the original file name (for example, toto.ipt)
Num contain the prefix to add to the name and the occurence name (for example, ABC)
If <condition>Then
New_name = fileDir & Num & "_" & docFName
Call oFileNameOcc.SaveAs(New_name, True)
Call oOccurrence.Replace(New_name, False)
oOccurrence.name = Num & "_" & oOccurrence.name
End If
The problem is, the first time I use the macro, the prefix is added twice in the occurence name (the filename is ok) : I obtain ABC_ABC_toto. This happen only the first time, and only on an orrignal Frame Generator assembly.
If I use the macro again, with for example Num = 123, the result is : 123_ABC_ABC_toto.Where is the problem ?
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rules - How To Replace All Components
Mar 1, 2012Can I use an iLogic Rule at the top assembly level to "replace all" of a particular component is that component resides in more than one subassembly? I need a rule to run and globally replace the component in all subassemblies without opening up each subassembly manually. I can run a rule in the individual subassembly that looks like the following:
If GoExcel.CellValue("3rd Party:Embedding 1", "Sheet1", "A2")=800 Then
Component.Replace("Part1:1", "OtherPartfilename.ipt", True)
End If
Is there a way to run a "replace all" command from a top level assembly?

Jun 4, 2012in case of replacing a component in an assembly the present item number in (structured) BOM table is reassigned through a new one. This cause a lot of troubles in our firm, because this requires rework of item numbers after each replace action.
