I'm using Inventor 2013 and would like to create a dialog box requesting the parameters for a simple rectangle and be able to snap in an assembly to get the distance for each parameter (width and depth) of the shape. Is this possible with either VBA or iLogic? I just need how to get the value...I can handle the dialog box.
View 5 RepliesI want to create an i part which derives its length and width from pairs of snapped points in the assembly. These can be any two points not necessarily existing properties of any part.
My new part would then calculate its actual dims from these measurements. Can this be done in ilogic and how?
I want to measure the minimum distance between 2 parts. But I want Ilogic to know what parts to measure according to what i've selected.
I have something like this but its not working... gives me always this error "
Measure.MinimumDistance: No entity named "System.__ComObject" was found."
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrenceDim oOccurrence2 As ComponentOccurrenceTry oOccurrence = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(1)oOccurrence2 = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(2)Catch MessageBox.Show("Please select a component before running this rule.", "iLogic") ReturnEnd Try Dim doc As DocumentDim CurFileName As String oOccurrence = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(1) oOccurrence2 = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(2) distance = Measure.MinimumDistance(oOccurrence,oOccurrence2)MsgBox(distance)
Let me make my question clearer by considering an example as follows, Assume I have points A, B, C and D in a map. Is there any command that can list the distance between any two points out of all points? e.g. distance of A-B, A-C, A-D, B-C, B-D, C-D.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a line at a constant grade. I need to create points along this line. The information given is in slope distance and these vary at times.
I've tried the point create methods and they all seem to calculate points at a horizontal distance. How do you enter the slope distance?
I know I can go back to basic Acad methods of divide, changing ucs so horizontal works etc.
wondering if it can be done in the create points commands?
I have a data table showing points surrounding a central source.I would like to create a calculation that adds a column in my data table of the points; that shows the distance between each respective point, and the central point.
My knowledge in expression building is limited,I assume I would be using some form of calculation using the geom, and the X and Y locations, however I'm coming up with nada.
In LDD I could label a bearing and distance between 2 points. (Points - not actual surveyed points, but 2 spots I click)
In 3d 2010 I only can label a whole line, not only a portion that I choose. This has to be a label option still.
I am using Civil 3D 2012. I know how to label a line with bearing and distance. What I would like to do is make a table with these bearings and distances referencing the point numbers. For instance, I have a new ROW line that starts at point 1000 and changes direction at point 1001 and changes direction at 1002 and so on. I need a table that shows Points 1000-1001 is ___ Bearing and ___ Distance.
The lines are not parcel lines; they are only line segments.
There are times that I have a really long curb polyline that has both line and arc segments. I wish to pick two points along that polyline and have it give me the distance between those two points along the path of the polyline.
Do we have this ability natively? Have I been missing something all this time? Normally I have to make a copy of the original entity, ... break, break, list erase or undo....
is there a tool or plugin for Paint.NET that can show the distance between points that i click on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's an extremely simple example.. It works with a circle or a square, obviously because it has the same height and width. The problem is when you have irregular shapes, (or in this case, an oval). I know I've seen solutions to this in the past, but I just can't think of how to word this question and find them again.
I know you can create multiple strokes for an object in the appearance palette, but I'm looking for something more effective than just having colored stroke > white stroke > colored stroke> white stroke > etc.

i copy and paste ALLOT, when i do i utilize reference points so everything is uniform.. problem is not everything is the same size.. for example, if i have 2 lines in a text box verses one...
When i copy i want the object to be moved and snapped from the middle left, not bottom left... or the top right not the bottom left.
is there a way to do this? Justify isnt it..

But therefore I need to know the distance of the ball centers. How can I do that? (STEP file for testing with different Inventor versions is attached).
Quite often I need to measure shortest surface distance between two points (electrical tracking diatance) as in pic below. I can do it iteratively by taking a range of slices out of the part (2nd pic) and measuring the cut edge length but it's quite meticulous and time consuming.
