AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Members Change Position Done In Assembly Mode
Dec 23, 2011
why members change position once mirror has been done in Assembly mode.
1..... i complete a sketch and save it.
2....Then i open up a new assebly while in the same project and save that also.
3...I place the sketch in the assembly and then go straight to Design tab and select insert frame a PFC member.
4 Also the sketch is fully constrained before going into assembly.
5..Now all mitering has been done.
6 Problem is when you Mirror the PFC in the assembly after picking a face or plane they change....................?
7 They mirror but swap ends and the miters are opp hand.

I've made a number of frame generated assemblies with standard ISO 30X30X3 L-beams. Now they wanna change it to another dimension still standard just 40X40X4 instead.
I'm pretty new to this but shouldn't I be able to do this for an assemble in one go with frame generator?

imagine a sheet (big black rectangle), then red rectangles are putted into corners.
I want to have one subassembly - red rectangle with screw/bolt or whatever you call it, but i want to change position of screw if necessary (this screw needs to be a part of kit/subassembly) but I do not want a situation when this new screw position is the only reason of making new subassembly.
I tried Position in representation but I can assign constraints only to master level.

how to make up an air bellows assembly which moves depending on the position. As opposed to a cylinder where making it a flexible asembly works, an air bellows does not need to move axially.
I have two plates hinged and the bellows needs to squeeze and move as they open. The ends are of course fixed to the plates, so the movement is actually an arc.

I have found an strange behaviour of derivin part from assembly when position repre is used.
There are lost or moved some part. It seems that this is another bug in Inventor 2013SP1.1.

About three days ago Inventor 2013 started crashing whenever I tried to drag a subassembly into position. I got a message telling me to install SP1. I did this; but the crashing continues to occur. I can use assembly constraints to move my subassembly around but this is cumbersome.

I have several parts designed "car line" in their respective parts.
I would like to simply add them to an assembly in their respective axis positions.
Obviously "place" drops in in an arbitrary position to then be "Assembled". Not what I am looking for.
I was looking for a copy/ paste function between part / assembly but there seems no way to paste into an assembly.

I've a problem with Sketching and extrude in the assembly mode.
When I'm making a sketch and I want to extrude it, I can only cut the sketch.. And if I chance the directin of the cut, there apears a error..

Is it possible to set print area in Inventor assembly mode. I have a vertical tall assembly that I want to print. But, when I print it includes the Inventor background as well in the print & because of that I am not able to orient my assembly properly. So, is there a way to get rid of the background or set a print area while printing.

I've tried this code here after setting the assembly flexible in the top level but it doesn't work.
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition?.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations(?"Test").Activate
I will be pulling the subassemblies in as read-only parts and I would like to change the positional representation with code in the top level assembly.

I'm working on Autodesk VBA, and I'm trying to get user input on which vertex to use for a constrain. I want to make a macro that can go into part edit, allow user to select a vertex, and then automatically set up the constraint. Initially I wanted to do this in a single macro, using this short piece of code
while oSelectSet.Count <>1
DoEvents
Wend
While this worked when run directly from VBA, if I call it as a macro in Autodesk itself, the DoEvents doesn't seem o work because I wasn't able to make any selection at all. I googled and it seems like this is just how macros are.
So I split the code into a 2 subs and a function (as attached), and put them into separates rules that I call using a form in Autodesk. The first sub "Meta1Pin1_1" works, then I would select a vertex in edit mode. But when I go ahead and call the second sub "Meta1Pin1_2", I get the error message that I created which says no vertex is selected. But if I select a vertex and call the second sub again, it will work.
So I've been trying different things and I realize that every time when I first call the second sub, my selection is erased teh moment it goes into the sub. But, for some unknown reason, the selection will remain when I call it the second time. I can't figure out what exactly happened between the first and second call of the same sub, that allowed the selection to remain.
' prepares assembly for user input by grounding bones and going into part edit
Public Sub Meta1Pin1_1()
Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument
[Code]....

I have made an assembly with a lot of "Positions" (in the Representations). See browser.
Is it possible to change/edit one of the Positions (In the Representation tree) to be the Master Position?

We have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser.

I have an assembly of stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.
And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.

What's the best way to do this?
1. Model parts in steel using metal-steel color.
2. Create assembly from parts.
3. Leave metal-steel as default view.
4. Create new view rep with assembly colored blue.
There are two ways I can do this:
A. Create new view rep "Blue".
B. Select all parts and apply blue color at assembly level. View rep associations are broken.
OR
D. Create new view reps in each part "Blue" and make the part blue in that view rep.
E. Create assembly view rep "Blue" and apply part "Blue" view reps. View rep associations are kept.
A-B is quick but dirty, although in Default view the associations will be kept.
D-E can be tedious in large assemblies.
Is there a quicker way to change color but keep associations?

Before using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?
For example:
I generated "Part1.ipt" and "Part2.ipt",...... (I have hundred of member)
In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.
Which is the iLogic Code I should to use?

there is a way to change the template used for a part or assembly. The problem is that I created a template to fit my needs but I had to update it and the update doesn't effect the parts created with the old version one. How do update the templates of the files created using the old template?

I wish I can open my general assembly BOM and set the proper Materials to my all my parts after migration from 2012 release.
But I cannot change Material for the some custom part in the assembly BOM in the Parts Only tab. Parts refusing to change a Material have special symbol and I guess it means “promoted assembly” – no info regarding these symbols.
I can change any Material in Structured and Model Data tabs but it is extremely inconvenient for the big assembly.
[URL]....
The questions is: Why those promoted assemblies have inaccessible Material in the Parts Only tab?
I have similar subassemblies built in similar way as you can see fro video, but one is treated as promoted assembly and other as promoted part, the question is what possible difference between those is?

My part color is yellow. In the assembly It shows as gray.
I cant seem to get it to change to match the part color. I used to know why this happens and knew how to fix it but seem to have forgot. How do you get this to work?
I also recently loaded 2014, but had the same problem with 2013, so its not a release issue.

I declared a BOM as "indivisible" when I converted an assembly to a welded assembly and currently I need to show the BOM as "Only parts" to insert it in a drawing. There is any way to convert the BOM style?
