Nov 16, 2011How do I create an Inventor part with a cost that will update according to the part dimensions changing. For example, we design products using aluminum extrusions and our cost is determined by foot length. How can I create the extrusion part to have a per foot cost that will dynamically update when I change the parts length for an assembly? It seems to me to be a fundamental need for many industries.
I will happily take any links to information that will explain this process. I cannot find anything online that clearly explains the process of creating parts with costs and variables.
AutoCAD .NET :: Dimension - How To Change Dimscale
May 13, 2013I am having problems with dimension after changing the dimscale. The user wants to change the dimscale. The program prompts for the selection of a dimension entity and also for the new dimscale. The dimscale property of the dimension entity is set to the new dimscale. The problem is that the entity is not updated on the screen, even after calling the entity draw method. In VBA there was an Update method, but I can find anything like that in the .NET dimension entity.

Sep 22, 2012I am in inventor and I need to draft up some diagrams for a lab report for school.

I have tried everything to change them and nothing has worked. I don't know where my command line window is so I can't go directly to dimstyles.

AutoCad :: How To Change Whole Drawing To New Dimension Values
Oct 8, 2010I have a complete gearbox drawing from a previous work and I would like to use it again but with different dimensions.
If I edit the dimensions and enter different values its not enough because when I hit the inquiry tab and dimension, obviously it will be the old measure value.
My question would be how to change the whole drawing to a new dimension values? I think there is no need to redone the whole gearbox again with new dimensions. My drawing is in metric (millimeters).
AutoCad :: Can't Change Dimension Text Size
Oct 11, 2010Whenever I try to dimension a drawing in model space the text of the dimension comes out unreadably small.
I go into dimension style manager, I click on modify and I click on the text tab but the text height and fraction height scale is greyed out!
If I click on "new" dimension style the only option I get is to base it off my current dimension style with the text size greyed out again.
How to change the text size of dimensions if at the option is greyed out?
AutoCad 2D :: Dimension Units Change After Saving
Feb 9, 2012I'm having an issue with dimensions changing from when I save the drawing to when I reopen it.
I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2009, exclusively in 2D. I save drawings in AutoCAD 2000/LT 2000 Drawing format to maintain backwards compatibility with our legacy documents which are still in regular use.
The exact process is:
1. Create dimension in existing drawing.
2. Set units of dimension. Typically this is fractional.
3. Save and close drawing.
4. Reopen drawing, and all of the dimensions units are set to decimal to the fourth decimal point.
If I interact with the dimension in any way, it will return to its set unit. For example, if I double click on it to bring up the Power Dimensioning window and just click Okay without altering anything, it will change back to its set unit. Likewise, if I move the dimension itself it will return to its set unit as well.
So far my solution has been to simply select the entire drawing at once, then move it X units one way, then X units back. The move back and forth will return all the dimensions to their set units.
Obviously this is not ideal, especially when sending drawings to co-workers who are unaware of the issue or even using different versions of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Dimension To Create Another Part
Apr 20, 2013I like to change the dimension of the length from 388mm to 400mm to represent another similar part with another part number. Yet I still need the old part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Style Of Existing Dimension
Oct 14, 2009I'm chasing the syntax on what i hope is a very simple procedure.
We have a project for re-design and manufacture here (Australia) of a machine that has been designed and detailed in one of our US offices. For this reason, we will be wanting all dimensions in mm etc, rather than inch.
My intention is to open the idw(s), update the styles library (done, i think...), change the active standard to "AS Metric" (got the code sorted for that too), and then change all dimensions to AS Metric.
So far i have each of these 3 processes in a different sub, called from a master. But my problem is in changing the style. I could change a dimension's style to match that of another existing style:
Set oGeneralDimensions = oSheet.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions.Item(1)
but I am having trouble setting is to the active style.
My module:
Sub ChangeStyle()
Dim oIDWDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oIDWDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
Dim oDim As DrawingDimension
Dim oDimStyle As DrawingStandardStyle
Dim oGeneralDimensions As GeneralDimension

AutoCad 2D :: Dimension Arrowhead - Can't Change Color To Bylayer
Aug 22, 2011I have a series of existing dimensions from others which I want to put on a screened layer so they aren't prominent. They are dimension objects, and going into the dimension style manager, I can change the color of the dimension and extension lines and the text to "Bylayer," but I can't find a place to change the color of the arrowhead, which, in this case, is not an arrowhead but is an oblique slash.
I exploded one of these dimensions, and with "List" I found that the slash was a block called "Oblique." When I exploded this, it became a line, which was on Layer 0, and its color was set to a specific color, not on "Bylayer".
Is there a way in which I can change the attribute of this dimension style to override this specifically set color of the oblique line to reset to the color I want it to print in (in this case, "Bylayer").

Say you've dimensioned something but end up wanting to change the dimension definition points...drag the end point to another location that you want dimensioned.
I thought it used to snap to a new location, but now it will not. I have to redraw the dimension (including all text I added).
Here is what I get when I try to move the dimension definition point:
Here is what I get when I try the auto-reattach feature in "repair". Still nothing to snap to.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Drawing Dimension Text And Symbols Font With ILogic
Nov 2, 2012I was looking to change the fonts in a drawing for the Dimensions and Symbols that might have been inserted in the Dimension text entries.
This can be done manually bu editing the dimentions text after placemement, but I was ooking to set this as a default.. I cannot see where exactly this is controlled in the Styles Manager - I am only able to change the Dimension text font but the diameter symbol font is always on AIGDT.
I was therefore looking for an iLogicvb code that could do the trick, but I am not able to even change the dimension fonts... The code runs with no errors but nothing gets updated in the drawing...

Revit :: How To Change The Numerical Value Of A Dimension
Mar 29, 2013I was wandering while doing a project of some construction elements if there is any way in Revit that I can change the numerical value of an dimension not with the text but with different value ? and at the same time I don't want Revit to rescale my elements. Something like in AutoCAD that I can type in any number I want and Revit won't rescale i or change the distance between them.
I know that I could simply use AutoCAD instead of Revit but I find it easier in general and I really want to learn it since I'm a student.
