AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: No Function Definition With Distance Function
Oct 25, 2013This seems absolutly silly.
(setq p1 (getpoint))
(setq p2 (getpoint))
(setq Dist (distance p1 p2))
Why does this not work?
I'm trying to build a command to replace AutoCAD's "DI" command, to give distance and delta x, y, and z values in decimal and imperial, and keep the angles in XY plane and out of XY plane.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Passing A Function Name To Another Function
Nov 13, 2012I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export To PDF Function
Feb 8, 2013I am trying to use the "Export to pdf" function as opposed to plotting as a pdf because the "Export" function seems to make a much smaller file size. However, when I "Export to pdf" some of my layers are not showing up in the created pdf.
The pdf created when I plot to pdf looks fine. I am using the "current layout" and "current" page setup options in the "Export to pdf", so it is using the same plotting options as plot to pdf, but the "Export" function is not displaying some layers.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Function To Set Colors
Sep 14, 2013I have a big assembly consisting of a large number of sub assemblies and parts.I would like to be able to quickly show color alternatives. All painted parts will be painted in one of two colors.I would like to have a function that takes two color arguments that will set the color of a number of parts to the first color and some other parts to the second color. Not all parts need to be painted.
set the color of all parts in a assembly to one color.But I have two sets of parts for different colors and not all parts need to be colored.How can I do this best? iLogic? How do I have to input the colors?
How to deal with repeating patterns (should still work when changing the repeat count)?Also, there should be some text on some parts. Can I also change this text color automatically?
AutoCad :: Function Keys As Osnaps?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rib Function Cannot Create Rib
Dec 26, 2011I'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get The Thread Function
Jun 13, 2012I have recently installed Inventor 2013 Professional Ultimate and am having some issues. I can not seem to get the Thread function to work. When I go to apply a thread I get the follow error....
When I go to search the directory, I find that the Thread xls document is infact there, but it is not located where the program thinks it should be (XLS Folder --> en-US Folder)
I also made sure that the Design Data location was correct within the Application Options...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom VBA Function In Parameter
Jan 31, 2013I've got a custom VBA function that works perfectly when called from a parameter in my part.
However, when in the context of my assembly, there is no error, but the function no longer runs, and the parameter text is red.
Apparently, the function is no longer in context?
I've heard of external rules, but have never implemented one.
Is there a way to declare my function and keep it in context regardless?
Public Function BumpHeight(dblHeight As Double, dblMember As Double) As Double Dim X As Integer X = 2 If dblHeight > dblMember * 2 Then BumpHeight = dblHeight Else BumpHeight = dblMember * X End If BumpHeight = BumpHeight / 2.54 End Function
Here is the Parameter:
VBA:BumpHeight(ValanceBackBumpoutHeight;ValanceMemberSize) * 1 in
Update: (problem better defined)
What seems to be happening is that once I insert the part into an assembly, it creates a new blank copy of the parts' modules in VBA and the functions no longer work.
If I go to the VBA editor,
There are now two copies of my part listed in the browser tree, but the new one is blank.
If I paste in my function to the new one, it will work until I return to the parent assembly.
Next time I come back to the part, it will have a new blank set of modules.
This appears to continue indefinitely...
see the attached screenshot.
At this point there are only 2 copies of the DocumentProject. The original still contains my functions, but the new one is blank.
I need these functions to work in order to build my model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Zoom Function In 2D?
Aug 29, 2012When I use AutoCAD Inventor:
* Rolling the mouse wheel toward me, the object zooms larger, and
* Rolling the mouse wheel away from my body, the object zooms smaller.
Just the opposite, when I use good ole' 2D AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical:
* Rolling the mouse wheel toward me, the object zooms smaller, and
* Rolling the mouse wheel away from my body, the object zooms larger.
Is it possible to change the zoom function in 2D AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical to operate in the same fashion as in Inventor . . .

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Creating IF-function Into A Field
Sep 27, 2012I am creating a drawing template that everyone in my office will use, stored on a shared location. I want the label "Drawn by ...." in the title block to be filled automatically with the drafter's name who created the drawing. It would be easy to just add the field "Author" or "LastSavedBy", but my situation is more complex. Our workstations are identified by a code that consists of first two letters of given and last name, for example John Smith's computer is named JOSM. So if I use "Author" field, then I would get "Drawn By JOSM", but I want to get "Drawn by John Smith".
I would like to some how create a field that contains function:
IF author=JOSM, value=John Smith
IF author=MAST, value=Mary Stuart
Is it possible to create such functionality? I found out something about Expressions and Diesel Expressions, but didn't understand much.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Use Function In External Rule
Oct 28, 2013I have an ilogic external rule which contains functions that I use from rules in my local assembly document. I'm trying to access the value of a parameter in the document from the external rule's function. Attached is a simple version of what I'm trying to do. If I manually run the external rule, it seems to work just fine, but when I call on the function from a seperate rule, its unable to get the parameter value. I get an error stating, "'Parameter' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level."
'this is the external rule. if I run this manually, it works

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Scale Objects On Screen Within Function
Oct 7, 2010I have a function that uses AcadApplication.ActiveDocument.SendCommand to allow the user to scale the inserted lines and text before the next step of the process, but AutoCAD does not display the scale prompt until after the entire program finishes. The prompt works well, but needs to be displayed before I end the sub.
How do I get the command to be sent immediately? Is there another way to allow users to scale the items I insert? The screen needs to be refreshed before the scale command is called, so that the lines and text I just added shows up. I have attached the code for the Send Command call and for the function that calls it.
