I'm trying to sort a structured Bom View through .Net Api in Inventor 2012. I'm using Sort method of BOM View object. I don't get any error but BOM isn't changed after this call.
I've tried :
oBv.Sort("Item") or oBv.Sort("Item", False)
oBv.Sort("Part Number") or oBv.Sort("Part Number", False)
I am iterating through a multi-level structured BOMView and checking to see if the component occurrences) corresponding to each BOMRow are visible or not. It seems that only assemblies (and sub-assemblies) have valid occurrences where I can check the Visible property. All parts are skipped (returns False). My code is below:
Private Function ItemIsVisible(ByRef bomRow As Inventor.BOMRow) As Boolean Try Dim cDef As ComponentDefinition Dim cOcc As Component Occurrence For Each cDef In bomRow.ComponentDefinitionsFor Each cOcc In cDef.Occurrences If cOcc.Visible Then Return True Next cOcc Next cDef Return False Catch ex As ExceptionReturn False End Try
I am looking for a way to export the structured BOMview from Inventor to either Excel or Word. That’s all good and I can do that but I struggle to find a way to include “All Levels” of the structured BOM view. At the moment I use a “For Each item in BOMview” loop to cycle through the BOMView items.
I have also set the StructuredViewFirstLevelOnly property to False. The For Each loop does not pick up any items inside sub-assemblies.
What would be a nice way to drill down and get an item output like this:
1
2
2.1
2.1
3
4
5
5.1
5.2
Etc.
I have a problem with Bill Of Materials in drawings.
I want to show a structured list of the top level components in this general arrangement. But whenever i select a view for inventor to create the table it only gives me to option for 'Components Only.'
I have edited the assembly and switched off the 'Components only' option in the IAM, but it still will only let me put a parts only BOM into the drawing. I have right clicked the node in the IDW browser and selected 'bill of materials' and here i have also switched off 'parts only' but still the same.
How do i get a top level BOM into my drawing?

i need a macro in VBA who export the structurated part list in xls separated by comme with only two cullom in order: Quantity and Part Number.
This .xls file mus be saved in the same folder where the .iam file is saved and with the same name of the .iam file. How to make this marco????
I want to place a "Parts Only" BOM view of my Parts List. In the Parts List dialoge box, when view or document is selected, BOM View grays out and defaults to "Structured". This issue is new to my work station and is not an issue to the other stations. Why? How can I fix?

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

Im currently converting some images to vector images They have asked can i provide them in a "layered structured illustrator file".
Im Relatively experienced with Illustrator and have never come across the term before im assuming they simply mean they want the ai. file with all the layers maintained?
I've got about 10,000 photos that I've moved in lightroom by creating a folder called 'pictures' on the external drive using the left folders panel. I then selected all the images in the root drive on my computer and dragged them onto the 'pictures' folder on the external drive, and I expected the folder structure to come with it. Only after I realised that they had all moved into one folder. Is there a way of moving the images back into a structure without manually doing it? Here's a screenshot.....

I can't get Inventor 2013 show a custom iproperty correct.My iLogic rule is this:
iProperties.Value("Custom", "myvol")=volume = iProperties.Volume
But the custom iProperty is a Yes or No.Had no problem with this in Inventor 2011.
I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.
We are trying to get task scheduler to automatically download certain files from the Vault. Templates and Styles. The templates work great, but there is no way to specify any filetypes other than Inventor filetypes. Am I missing something? Is there a way to specify non-inventor filetypes?

Is there a program that can make stp files from our inventor models? Our purchasing department wants to do this task for our vendors and they don't want in have a full version of Inventor to do it.

I click on it and it takes me into the C drive under the autodesk file Inventor 2012 TestDrive and has an Application called TDSetup. Once I click on it it does a load wheel then nothing happens.
I can't seem to find a solution and I just installed DirectX.
Inventor on a touch screen style PC, and if so... does it work? This hardware looks like it would be fun to work with, but I don't know if it's quite there yet for CAD work.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwe modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
I would like to know how can i create or add an UOM. (for example : 25 per box) in my BOM.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to inventor, used it to design a computer case of my own, so now that I got all of my parts in ipt I need to convert them to dxf in 1:1 scale.
What is the easiest way to do that? I found some info here [URL]... but in the Environments tab I don't have any ''AEC Exchange''.
Oh and another thing, after sketching all my parts I ''deleted'' the dimensions from the view, so is there any way I can make them show up in that dxf because I will have to send the dxf's to someone who will laser cut the parts, so dimensions have to be shown of course, or do I have to add them one by one?
Using Inventor 2012 Premium, this problem didn't exist in 2011.
When I click "I"->New(small arrow)->Part. All dimensions are in cm.
If I instead click "I"->New and choose the Part template all dimensions are in mm, as it should. I have two .ipt-templates (standard (mm) and sheet metal (mm))
My college went through all templates we have and no one uses cm.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create excel files out of BOM for an assembly that contains a step file from customer.
That step file is a subassembly that contains several files.
So now my issue is if i could modify the BOM so that i add several rows. Basically i need to add in bom rows that are pointing to inexistent parts. Besides creating a subassembly and add there several empy parts is there any other way?
im wondering if it is possible to convert a 2D dxf to 3D in 2012 inventor? I couldnt do after I downloaded the updates for 2D to 3D conversion. I wonder if such a conversion is only available for 2D DWG files
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using 2013 inventor and revit. I am trying to use this BIM exchange in inventor and I am try to by creating a simple part/family with a couple of different sizes in a table. Everything looks good in inventor as far as the table having different size and when I activate one it changes the part. When I export I am going to tools, BIM exchange, hitting export and away she goes. There is only one export button and everything is pretty simple to understand. So inventor as far as I know, is good.
Now when I bring it into revit as the ASDK format from export with BIM exchange as I am getting is the model with whatever view happens to be active. I am not getting the table nor the parameters I set up for manually changing the family.
I have done some research and noticed that in previous verisons you needed to export the table in inventor after that model, but I am not seeing that option anywhere.
So my question is, am I missing something and you can no longer export parametric parts from inventor to revit, or is there another set I am missing either in the inventor setup or the import into revit?
I've opened up Inventor 2013 and clicked 'new' but no templates have come up. I went to my templates file in my documents and there wasn't any there. Where can I get the templates?
