AutoCAD Inventor :: Use API To Check Whether Component Is Invisible (hidden) In Drawing View?

May 23, 2013

I am working on a project to assign balloons to components in drawing view automatically. Of course, I don't want to assign a balloon to a component which is invisible (hidden) in this drawing view.

So, is there any API function to check whether the component in the drawing view is invisible or hidden?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Component Occurrence In Drawing View To Hidden Line Style?

Jan 5, 2010

Can this be done? I want to go through the DrawingView Object to get at a subcomponent of an assembly and either set that component to have hidden lines (where needed) or no hidden lines.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Presentation Component Invisible In Drawing

Mar 22, 2007

I created a IPN from an IAM for an exploded view. When I put the base view of that exploded assembly into a drawing, one of the main components is invisible. So when I mouse over the edge of the view, the bounding box does not even reach high enough to possibly include this component. All other components are visible in their correct exploded positions. I tried deleting the view and placing it again, but it does the same thing. The colored and shaded preview just before view placement shows all parts where they should be.

AutoCAD Inventor :: OnSelect Event When Selecting Component In Drawing View

Sep 24, 2012

Im trying to catch the event when the user selects a component in a drawing view using

CommandManager.UserInputEvents.OnContextMenu += UserInputEvents_OnContextMenu;

But it seems that the onselect event only catches selection of drawing views or balloon, annotation etc, but not the component inside the drawing view is this intentional or a bug?

The reason i need to catch this is to make a new context menu action, so i need the selected item. I know i can use SelectionSet, but i want to be able to debug my application as an external application connecting to the running instance before i build it into an addin (saves me a lot of inventor restarts..) And Selection Set does not seem to work when i use it inside an event handler in an external application...

Oct 24, 2011

Is there a way of using Ilogic to make hidden lines of specific parts in an assembly drawing view visible? If a part with hidden lines showing is suppressed and then unsuppressed the hidden line option becomes unchecked, therefore I need a way of rechecking this option through code?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Component Turns Red In Breakout View

Sep 12, 2013

My coworker gets this error:

He makes a detail. In the enlarged view he makes a sketch. He then makes a break out. Within the enlarged view, in the gap which the break out opened up for clarity of the view, are two components that he wishes to make its hidden lines visible. Doing this locks up his machine and makes a single component turn red.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Hidden Lines In One Part Of A View?

Is it possible to show hidden lines in one part of a .idw view while the rest of the view does not show hidden lines?  In the attached image I want to show the pull handle and towel bar through the glass in the door.  The only way I know how to show this currently is to turn off the visibility on the glass.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Component Edge Color In IDW View?

I wrote this rule to change the color of each individual drawing curve:

Edit: Ignore the "<!".  It's the only way I could get the iLogic code to successfully post in the message
 
Spoiler (Highlight to read)<!Dim drawViews AsDrawingView
For Each drawViews In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews

newColor3 = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(0,255,255)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modifying Component Visibility With Custom View Rep

Oct 11, 2011

In my neverending battle to find a way to turn off unneeded components in an assembly, I'm trying my hand at modifying component visibility with a custom View Rep. View reps seemed to pose fewer issues than LOD's (in that you can have a drawing and model open at the same time without a million error messages)......until I tried to make a pattern.

When first placing a new subassembly component into an assembly, it will automatically place in the "Last Saved" View Rep. Since certain parts may be invisible in my "skeletal" subassembly, this is ideal. HOWEVER, when I try to pattern this subassembly, all of the occurrences absolutely insist on displaying at the "Master" View Rep. This makes no sense to me whatsoever and destroys yet another workflow at the 99% mark. I understand that I can change the view rep manually, but manual workarounds and corrections defeat the point of using iLogic to manipulate our models.

Am I the only CAD user who wants the simple ability to "turn off" an assembly component? iAssemblies are not an option due to the shear number of combinations of unneeded components.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hidden Line View Option In 2013?

Aug 19, 2012

In solidworks there's a "hidden line" option that displays a 3d part with all its sketch lines (instead of a regular solid) which allows the user to view all the different sides of the part easily. So I was wondering if there's such an option in autodesk inventor 2013. Currently, to view all the different sides and aspects of a part easily, i have been changing the part's material to polycarbone or some other plastic material; this makes the part a little translucent. But this is less effective than the hidden line vew availble in solidworks. method  that makes different parts of a 3d part more easily to be viewed?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Exclude Drawing Sheet From DWF When Check-in

Aug 31, 2013

I am using Inventor 2012 64 bit with Win 7.

We have a lot of drawing that has some extra sheet for ref. and Inventor let me exclude count and print from those extra sheet. This work fine but when we check-in the drawing to vault it update or publish all sheet to dwf. This is very compass for us because we full the dwf file from vault to release and the sheet count is different than the print out.

Is there a way to EXCLUDE those sheet when check-in or update dwf?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Check-in Drawing Into Vault

Jan 8, 2014

I'm wondering if it is possible to check-in drawing into vault using i-logic?

If you check-in a drawing into our vault, it automaticly exports a .dwf to a storage server. We also have a simple button for making .pdf of the drawing to sent to the customer.

What i want to ensure is that the .dwf file and the .pdf file are the same. So when i press "make a .pdf" the rule will save my document, make a .pdf and (if possible) check it into vault. So from that point the .pdf for the client and the .dwf on the server are the same.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Opening Drawing File Invisible Causes Code To Crash

Jun 10, 2013

I am building a custom batch update for our drawings to take border definitions as well as custom iproperties from a current template and push them into a specified inventor dwg file.  I built a form for the users to select the template they want to import into a list of files they place in the form.  The program opens the template, get's all the information (iproperties, border defs, etc... using the active document to get the document) then iterates through the list of the users doing the following for each file (also getting the active document to get the items in each file):  open, replace border definition, insert any non-existent custom iproperties, save and close the file.  It works great when I keep the open visible set to true for the files.  When I switch the visible property to false for each one of the files I want to open I get an error similar to this:  Systems.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Inventor._DocumentClass' to type 'Inventor._DrawingDocument'. at  ---- then my button click event here. 

Does inventor technically not see a document as an active document if the file is not visible when opened?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Section View Of Single Component In Presentation File?

Jun 18, 2012

I'm in the process of creating an exploded view of an assembly. I'm having to do this in a presentation file, and I was wondering if it was possible to section one of the parts in the exploded view. To be more specific, I have the majority of my parts spread out around another assembly in the center of the page. I want to get a three quarter section view of the center assembly so the internals are visible. Is this possble from within a presentation file and if so, how can it be done?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Code To Check File Name Matches Part Present In Drawing

Feb 15, 2013

At my company we use part numbers as file names for everything. for example, part number 09090P00100000, will be saved as 09090P00100000.ipt and will have a drawing saved as 09090P00100000.idw.

Within the drawing template file, i want to set up an ilogic rule that will check that the part present in the drawing corresponds to the file name of the drawing. This rule will run after saving and will just display a warning if the file names do not correspond.

I just need some code that will get the file name of the part displayed in the drawing.  Note that we use iparts so the code must get the member file name and not the factory file name.

Dim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawingDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument  
Dim oSheet As Sheet   
oSheet = oDrawingDoc.ActiveSheet

Lightroom :: Publish Services Are Missing / Hidden / Invisible Despite Panel Being Visible

Oct 16, 2013

My Publish Services panel is enabled and visible, but it is empty. All Publish Services are invisible. However, it seems they are still there, because from a photo I can "Goto Collection" and select the Published Collection that it's in. In grid view, this takes me to the screen where it shows me Published Photos, Modified Photos, etc. But I cannot create new Published Collections.
 
I am using Lightroom 5.2 64-bit on Windows 7. This problem only arose recently without any known trigger. I've had this problem before but it went away on it's own after I published from a different catalog.
