I have an older drawing with an outdated sheet format. I'm wanting to update to a new custom sheet format without having to redimension and recreate views. Is it possible to just update the sheet format?

I've seen snipppets of code to get the Sheet name but is there a way to set it via code? I'm thinking it might be useful to set the sheet names to the chosen sheet format (as opposed to just 'Sheet').
I'm sprucing up my drawing template...
Rule #1 is for selecting sheet format (which title block/sheet size / orientation)
Rule #2 is for setting iproperty values to populate the titleblock with info. (if required)
Rule #1 was based on code from S.Bixler & inventortrenches
Rule#2 was based on more code taken from here.
I am having an issue with changing sheet sizes using VBA. Due to the constraints under which my borders and title blocks were created, inventor forces me to delete the current border before changing the sheet size. I have 5 different borders and 2 title blocks.
-Borders
"A0 Border (13x8 Zone)"
"A1 Border (8x6 Zone)"
"A2 Border (6x4 Zone)"
"A3 Border (4x3 Zone)"
"A4 Border (No Zones)"
-Title Blocks
Title Block 1 - All sizes except for A4
Title Block 2 - A4 Only
I'm having trouble changing the sheet size. This is the extent of the code that I know actually works:
Option ExplicitPrivate oDoc As DrawingDocumentPrivate oSheet As SheetPrivate oBorderDef As BorderDefinitionPrivate oBorder As BorderSet oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentSet oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheetSet oBorderDef = oDoc.BorderDefinitions.Item("A0 Border (13x8 Zone)")Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() cmbPageSize.AddItem ("A0") cmbPageSize.AddItem ("A1")

I'm in sketch mode and my drawing dimensions are all in decimal format. How do I change that to a fractional format?
I thought it would be in the styles editor, but when I open that up, I don't see ANY dimension style listed (see picture). I also tried right clicking the actual dimension to view the properties, but that only lets me change the decimal precision (also attached). The help file mentioned the "ANNOTATE" tab, but I don't even have that tab on my ribbon so I'm guessing it's unique to autocad?
how to change the bend radius on a flange that has several different bend radii with the same metal thickness. For example, I have a sheet metal part that is 1/4" thick and has one bend radius that needs to be .030". How can I change the bend radius?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn versions prior to Inv. 2009 the sheet metal rules were contained in the template and in 2009 they are in the styles library. In the past year we have changed some of our material and I would like to be able to look for certain sheet metal rules on legacy drawing and change them to a new one. Both styles are fairly close but I want to keep things consistant going forward. This way I can purge the style if it is not in the style library. Just can't figure out the code for changing the active style.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a frame fabrication / assembly with a Custom iProperty called "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE". I have set the following parameter for this property:
FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE = <Stock Number> x <G_L>mm
This returns the stock size and length to my drawing cutlist. The problem is that the <G_L> Parameter returns the trailing zeros and unit string.
I would like to set all the frame members in the assembly such that the G_L parameter returns a value rounded off to 0 decimal places with no trailing zeros and removes the unit string as well.
Is there a way I can achieve this from the assembly so I don't have to manually open each frame member and make the changes in the fx parameters dialog one at a time?

I have Autodesk Inventor on a student license, and I use the metric system.

How do I change the unit settings for drawing sheets?
I need the dimension of .5 to become .25.It won't work, probably because it is the same dimension of Sheet metal Tickness.
View 3 Replies View Related I want to change the material of a sheet metal part using inventor api.I tried something like code
Dim partDoc As PartDocument partDoc = inventorApp.Documents.Open(FilePath & filename, False) If partDoc.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then Dim smDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition smDef = partDoc.ComponentDefinition Dim style As SheetMetalStyle style = smDef.SheetMetalStyles.Item("sheetMetalRule")
But I can't get the code for material change.
a customer has a title block with a revision table ( standard vault revision table) add on top of it.
If you change the sheet size the revision table remains his position.
If found the way to reposition the table with a ilogic rule.:
'point afstand in cm
PointX=(ActiveSheet.Width/10)-13
PointY=5.5
'punt vanaf rechtonder gemeten in cm
[Code]....
This is working perfectly. But now the challange how to trigger this rule to run if you change the sheet size?
if tried:
trigger=Activesheet.size
or
to create a userparameter and added this line in my rule : Size=ActiveSheet.size, normaly is you change parameters it triggers the rule to rule. but both way didn't work.
Can event triggers from the API be used? Do i need the "Onchange" event? Any example for a ilogic rule?
I am using this code placed in the .ipt file to change Sheet Metal material
If Material_SM=1 TheniProperties.Material="Steel"SheetMetal.SetActiveStyle("RB_Mild Steel")ElseiProperties.Material="AISI316"SheetMetal.SetActiveStyle("RB_Stainless")End If
It works fine presuming code placed in every .ipt file to be ruled.
Is it possible to modify code in a way so when it placed in top assebly it runs through entire assembly finds all Sheet Metal parts and applys Material prpperties/Sheet metal style according Material_SM parameter.

This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.
I am using Inventor 2010 (I know this is my first problem, but you have to use what you're given!) and I need to use the sheet number in a calculation that will display the result in a text box. =((<SHEET NUMBER>-1)8)=1 displays a result of ((11-1)8)+1. I suspect that the sheet number is being brought in as text instead of a number. I tried adding atoi to the equation to convert the sheet number to an integer, but it did not work.Is there an alternate source for the sheet number that will return a number? Is my syntax wrong?
