View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get hole tolerance by Inventor API using c++ but the value returned is not correct.
the code is:
Parameter* diam = m_Feature->GetHoleDiameter(); // m_Feature is a given HoleFeature
double tol = diam->Tolerance; // returned 1.0
BSTR str = diam->Tolerance->HoleTolerance; // returned "0".
// The correct value is 2.89
How can I get the correct tolerance value?
I've got some 2D contours that have certain vertices very close to each other in some parts of the string. Some are only 0.008 apart. The cross checking in Drawing cleanup is picking these all up as crossing strings.
anything that will possibly filter out these vertices at a set tolerance? I've tried using Snap clustered nodes but that won't work seen as though it is occurring on the same string.
While looking at the different tolerance methods, I see a couple called MIN and MAX, which just tack these words to the end of the dimension. Is there a way to customize the tolerance methods to add suffixes or prefixes to dimensions, such as TYP or 2 PLCS or something like that, so that I can minimize my detailing time.

I have attach a drawing.
Is it possible to set the default tolerance of a part via the API? If so ,How? Also, how would I ensure that those values are used in the drawing dimensions. I don't see any link to the values that I put into the model and the dimensions in the drawing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the simple (for you ) question about hole tolerance window: I want to open hole tolerance dialog box and "click" OK button (ofcourse I want to do that via VBA code). Only this, I wouldn't change tolerance type or value of tolerance.
I show you what I want on screen.
When I export .idw in autocad .dwg, the tolerance text height of dimensions with 'Limits/Fits-Show tolerance' change, becoming the same of the dimensions text, while the tolerance text height of dimensions without 'Limits/Fits-Show tolerance' remain the same of the .idw file. Why? There's something I can do, to ensure that text height no change? See the attached pictures that show the problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBest practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.
I've got an iFeature created that's very handy. It's basically a reamed hole with a counter bore for a purchased locating pin.
Here's the rub: Is there a way to specify a tolerance to that hole that will come through the i Feature? As in, I can draw the hole with a diameter of 0.501" within the definition of the iFeature. That's easy. However, when I do a print, I'd like to be able to just snap a leader to it that will have the "Use Part Tolerance" box checked and will reflect the correct tolerance.
As an aside, one of the reasons I want to do this is because I use Hole Tables a lot. In a hole table, I can manually go in and change the call out for the hole to show the correct tolerance, but in order to keep the grouping together, I have to do EVERY hole individually.
All the values I put in to set my tolerance are being rounded to three decimal places even though the value is four place and I am setting the dimension precision to four place.
For Example: I have a hole of diameter 2.0466. It is to have a tolerance of +.0005/-.0000. When tolerance.setToDeviation is called, the .0005 is strangely forced to .001 and is set as this in the part file. The precision value had already been set to 4 at this point.
I am using the following code in Inventor 2010:
'Create hole feature
Call oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(oLinearPlacementDef, dDiameter, kExtentDirection)
'Get hole feature just created
Dim oHole As HoleFeature
Set oHole = oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Item(oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Count) ' need most recent index
[code]...
I need to change one dimension using iLogic. It changes due to the path taken to manufacture the part. In a nutshell majority of the time the "OD" has a +.004 / .000 tolerance and the model is drawn at the minimum size. There are cases when the "OD" has a +.005/-.005 tolerance and is modeled at the nominal size. I've learned some of the iLogic to make the change I'm after but not all. I'm having trouble setting ModelValueType to change the model size.
See the code below, for setting +/-.005"

View 6 Replies View RelatedI keep hving trouble with a hole and the diameter tolerance.
Create a simple hole, single diameter concentric and specific depth. I go to the tolerance window for the diameter and change it to a Limits-Linear. I enter my values .3758 and .3754. Precision is .1234. I clikc OK, then go back to the tolerance, and its reset both values to .3756 What gives???? I've deleted and recreated the hole, edited it about 10 times, and still the same effect.
I have noticed that as I increase my tolerance value in CONTACTS in the simulation settings my results will dramatically change.
My initial settings are 0.004" with SEPARATION as default. After completing the automatic constraints, I will manually bond all the necessary components such as nuts to bolts and welds to the plates.
Then if I change 0.004" to 0.5" and leave it as SEPARATION, to pick up clearance holes, etc., the result will resemble the way the assembly should behave.
But if I change the separation to 1.0" (and nothing else) then the simulation will run with results that are not correct, giving large deformations and very high stresses.
When a Basic Tolerance is used to dimension - can the size of the containing box be adjusted?
I understand this is set as a percentage of the text size - where is this value & can it be edited?
I have learned the hard way that Civil 3D has a Curve Tolerance value that is to be used when applying sample lines and computing average end cross section volume calculations along an alignment with a curve. How I discovered this was by double checking my self and using a straight alignment verses an alignment with a curve. When using the alignment with a curve the average end cross section volumes differ. I did some reading in Autocad help and it mentions that sometimes a curve tolerance value is needed when using curves and this value is changed in the compute or edit materials window. What is a curve tolerance?" The edit materials window prompts a user to enter a Degree value. How do I calculate this curve tolerance value? I assume it is related to one of the values of a curve.

this is how it looks in photoshop...
this is a smaller version (kind of easier to see the irregularities)

It would sure be nice to have the Tolerance within the Magic Wand be a slider so I wouldn't have to type in the value each time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a PNG image that has a transparent border. I want to select the pixels in the image that are not transparent (it's a photo-type object with non-geometric edges) then replace the object with a patterned fill.
Process:
1. Select Magic Wand and click on the transparent portion of the image (I have all but what I want selected)
2. Invert the selection (I have what I want selected)
3. Select the Fill bucket and fill the selection with the desired patterned fill (a checkerboard, let's say).
Problem:
1. To properly select the transparent portion of the image without the object and retain a sharp edge, I need to set a low tolerance level.
2. To properly fill the object I need to set a high tolerance level. The photo object has typical color variety - setting a high tolerance will fill the entire thing to the selection border and not miss any pixels.
3. The Tolerance level is global and its setting is used by all tools that understand it.
Resulting Process:
1. Set Tolerance to low
2. Select Magic Wand and click on transparent portion
3. Invert selection
4. Set Tolerance to high
5. Select Fill bucket and fill the selection
Forgetting to set the tolerance to the desired level based on the tool in use produces unwanted results.
Proposed Solution:
I'm a programmer, so I envision the new Tolerance bar as an array of values instead of a single value. The array saves tolerance levels individually for each tool, and when I switch tools the tolerance level changes as well.
When I have the Magic Wand and change the tolerance, that new value is stored for Magic Wand and all other settings are unaffected.
When the app opens the values are set to some default setting (or user defined settings if there is such a startup setup process, or remembered settings from the last session if state values are retained).
Am I missing this ability for Tolerance to be set individually by tool?
Select with the Magic Wand tool
I am curious about the math for the Magic Wand Tool in the following circumstance:
The RGB image has been converted to GREYSCALE and then into LAB mode.
The lightness channel is selected only and I wish to create various selections with MAGIC WAND TOOL based on numerical values entered in the field TOLERANCE.
The image (as described above) shows values in PERCENTACE for K (Black) when in LAB mode.
Now how does the value of TOLERANCE correspond to the value K: for this case?
I am wondering what would be the keyboard shortcut to change the tolerance percentage up and down? For example, to change brush size bigger you press"[" and for smaller you press, "]". I am looking for the same kind of shortcut, but instead of brush size, I need it for tolerance. I spent more than 30 minutes last night trying to find it in the keyboard shortcut dialog thing but I could not find it. I am sure photoshop has a shortcut for this.
