AutoCad 2D :: Templates Are Set Up With Generic Notes
Dec 6, 2012
I changed jobs about three weeks ago, and went from AutoCAD 2012, to Mechanical 2009. The transition has been seamless, except for one thing: text. The templates here are set up with generic notes etc, using single line text. I can't stand it.I tried the txt2mtxt trick, but it didn't work. Anytime I convert existing text to mtext, or try to create new, mtext, the editor window will come up, but not allow me to type anything.

Why do I have to select edit hole note each time I use the hole feature tool? It will not keep my settings to show qty.
It seems that I should be able to save it to my library and make it the default. I have saved library,templates all with zero luck.
See 2 screen shots in the attachment.

we have just upgraded from Inv 2011 to 2013. I am trying to create the drawing templates in 2013 by using the blank 2013 template and then copying our border from 2011 onto it. This works a treat apart from 1 thing.
The i properties do not get copied over as well so the sheet is blank from drawing number, title and the custom properties etc.

I'm building a simple subassembly from generic links and some of the links are blue and some magenta - Is there any significance to this colouring?

Sketch of a shackle (preferably Crosby) that I could use? The company I work for does a lot of certifications and deals heavily with Lifting devices. We tend to use Crosby Bolt Type Anchor Shackles (see image) in our designs and the sizes tend to change frequently. I figured if there was a template made, it would be easy to go from a 2ton shackle to say a 55 ton shackle by changing the parameters (rather than re-drawing). We have done a few in ACAD, but I would like to start from scratch in Inventor (IV 2012) in order to gain full control over the design, parameters, etc.

I haven't had to use a generic link slope in a while, but I'm baffled as to why this isn't working for me. Below is my assembly which looks looks fine, but the corridor is doing the opposite of what it should be doing.
And here is what the corridor is doing.
My grass strip link is going in the opposite direction and it's much longer than 7 feet. Am I missing something or is this another bug?

I have attached a screen shot. I created this base plate as A572-50 steel and it is displayed as galvanized. The only thing on this assembly that is from the content center are the bolted connections and a few pieces of A53 pipe that is not shown in the image. All of the other parts and sub- assembly's and their parts are created with their appropriate grade of steel and also displayed as Galvanized. When they are place into the same assembly their materials and display are exactly like they are on the part level itself.
When I place the base plate from my project the initial preview of the the part shows it to be as it is in the part itself, A572-50 and galvanized. The problem comes when you actually drop it in the assembly. The material of the part is reverted to the Steel, Galvanized and is displayed as Generic. This causes a problem in my BOM and then some.

I have an MEP dwg with 3d geometry that I would like to take a lineweighted section through.
I successfully made the section by importing the cad file into a generic mass, but I cant seem to get the lineweights to show up.
I've tried setting overrides and object styles for generic models, but it doesnt register the cut line, only the projection line style.
I also tried importing as an IFC, which also converts the file to generic models, but no dice.

When I add features to a surface, they don't keep the feature name. It gets a generic numerical name ie dike:1, dike:2. Is there a way to get the names to hold? How does one keep track of the features/breaklines?

When i am creating a assembly, the sub assembly parameters for the generic pavement structure is not showing (such as the lane width or crossfall) Other sub-assemlies show these parameters. Is this a bug or is there a way i can turn this on.
I can change the parameters on the properties.

I have recently upgraded to Autocad Mechanical 2009 and have created a range of "Generic" type arrangements and saved them as DWG files.
I then insert the "Generic" arrangements by using the "Insert block" feature and selecting the saved DWG file.
When I try using the explode feature, it disappears all together. I try zooming extends and nothing is there!

I have an AutoCAD dwg file that I would like to import into a Revit generic annotation .rfa file. It's a logo file that we're trying to use for a titleblock. It was originally made into a dwg from an EPS file. I would redraw in Revit but when I try it I get the 'line is too short' error. So it goes.
My problem is this- when I set a RGB value in the AutoCAD file, then import it into Revit with the option to preserve colors, it doesn't show the same color I assigned. I know there are some issues with converting ACAD colors to Revit colors.

I am working on some VB code to reterive the dimensions fron an IDW and put them on an excel spreadsheet for an Inspection report. I found some code to which gets the linear dimensions and have added tolerance type and tolerance bands.
I have been unable to get the hole notes off the IDW. Got the general notes to work with the following
Dim invDrawNotes As Inventor.DrawingNotes
Dim invActDrawNotes As Inventor.DrawingNote
Set invDrawNotes = invActSHT.DrawingNotes
[Code]....

Is there a way to make Inventor automatically add a note, along the bend line, indicating bend direction, number of degrees and bend radius?
Also, in 2013, where are the bend tables located? I've checked the help file, and it's telling me cprogram filesautodeskinventor 2013design data
I followed that path, but I do not have the "design data" folder it's calling for.

Currently we have about 30 sheets where we xref the same construction note and legend. The client is asking us to remove notes that don't apply to each sheet. For example, sheet 1 will not need note 2, 6, 10, 11. Sheet 2 will not need 3, 5, 10, and 11, etc.
Same goes for the legend- they don't want to see something if it does not apply to the sheet.
Other than bringing in those notes and legend into each sheet and modifiying it, I can't think of another way to do this. Previously, if I needed to change the wording of note 4, I change it once and I'm done. If I need to change anything now, I will need to open up 20 sheets.
Also, they want to remove the note completely, and not just cover up the note with "Not used this sheet."

When using alternate dimensions in hole notes it repeats the full note for both dimension units. I would like to only have the dimensional data have the alternate information and not repeat the full note (see attached file).

Is there a way to create key notes automatically in R2013? Similar to automatic numbering in mtext, but with a hexagon or circle around each number at the beginning of each line. Right now I just type my paragraph then manually insert a key note with attributes at the appropriate location. Problem is when I add or delete text from the paragraph, the line spacing may change, then I have to manually re-align all the key note blocks.

When a co-worker opens an assembly or part drawing I want them to see a note regarding the model, a note that would be used for internal purpose only.
The note has to be visible on the screen when the drawing is opened, anyway of doing something like that?

I am trying to create and display multiple Notes on an Inventor Part. I select the face, right click, select create note, and the note gets created perfectly. However the next note I create does not get displayed in the graphics window. It gets added to note in the browser. Is it possible to get all notes created displayed on the model?
I also see that the note automatically adds the Author and the date to the note. Is it possible to edit this information. It says the information is read only.

Every time I create a chamfer note, I have to edit it, because I don't like '1.5 X 45° ', I like the lower case of '1.5 x 45° '. Only a small detail, maybe, but that's how I prefer it. Can I edit the template somewhere so that this happens automatically?
Similarly, can I edit the hole note so that the tolerance (6H, etc) is not shown for tapped holes?
