AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Update When Modifying Model Parts In Idw
Aug 21, 2012My parts list on my idw do not update when I make changes to the model. Specifically, I have deleted a bolted connection on my design and replaced with a different components but the parts list table does not update - all I see is a lightning bolt in the browser next to the parts list but I cannot update it here.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Disappearing In Exploded View In IDW File
Dec 1, 2011In some drawings, parts and trail lines will randomly disappear or get rearranged. Once the parts disappear, the only way we're able to get them back is by copy and paste the explosion into the presentation file and regenerate the view.what happened to the .idw file and how it should look.
We've tried replacing the video card and repairing the Inventor installation, but still experience the same issue on some drawings.Running Inventor 2008 on Windows XP.
AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Parts Lists Disappearing When Exported To PDF
May 23, 2013I am running Autocad Mechanical 2013 as part of the Product Ulitmate Design suite.
I am using a Sheet Set to export a number of layouts to a single PDF. Everything is as expected, except that all my Parts Lists (EXCEPT ONE!!) are not showing up in the PDF. The only difference I can see between the one that works and the many that don't is that on all the ones that don't work I have a "Filter by Ballooned" filter applied to the parts list. What could be up with this? Could that filter somehow be the cause?
Another completely random and unexpected behavior: there is something that is causing all the AM_* layers that are automatically generated in paper space to suddenly become frozen. They all becomes frozen at once. Why or what it is I am doing to cause it to happen.

AutoCAD LT :: Xref Layers Disappearing In Both Model And Layouts
Nov 30, 2012I've been experiencing an odd problem with Xref's lately in AutoCAD 2006LT. I noticed that some of the layers in my viewports are missing. I have unloaded the xref, purged the drawing and reloaded the xref and each time it comes back up missing the majority of the layers in the external reference. I've checked to make sure that there are no xref's associated with the xref file to ensure that it's not an issue with a sub xref as well. I have downloaded a trial copy of 2013 and it mentions unreconciled layers and shows all layers in the view ports. In my troubleshooting I've checked for frozen layers, layers turned off, the location of Xref'ed files, ensured that no xref’s are on frozen or turned off layers and several other possible problems.
What seems strange to me is that I can see a few layers but not all layers associated with the xref in AutoCAD 2006LT. I've also checked to make sure that the layers are not frozen in the viewport as well. I use that feature often and depend on it for the drawing that I do.
If I start a drawing from scratch or go back several generations I can see all the layers just fine. It only seems to affect the latest generation of this current projects files.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Objects Disappearing In Model Documentation
Aug 31, 2012when i make a parent view from model space of 3d objects not all of them will appear in paper space. some times it will only display objects from one layer and other times it will pick and choose. this can also happen when i edit an object in paper space and when i return to paper space objects i was not even editing have disappeared from the view. note this does not always happen, in fact it does not always happen with the same objects.
It does not matter if i open and close AutoCAD the objects will still be gone. This has happened before SP1 but seems to be happening more since the release of it. i can provide a file.
AutoCad 2D :: Annotative Mtext Disappearing In Model Space
Jun 25, 2012My annotative mtext is invisible in model space? Completely visible and correct when viewed from paperspace via a viewport, but nothing in model space. It is there! i can window select it in model space and see it.... ?
I read that copying into a new drawaing will fix this. And it did! But now, it is gone again? Not sure what command or action i took to do this but i haven't done anything out of the ordinary?
It is annotative mtext, my non-annotative mtext is still there but it is also masked.
AutoCad 3D :: Disappearing Clipping Boundaries When 3D Model Reaches Certain Size
Aug 5, 2011The problem I run into with 3DClip is that once my 3D model reaches a certain size I loose the visualization of my clipping boundaries. I can watch my viewport change as move the clipping plane but don't see a handy dandy line to show where exactly it is clipping.
Now if I could just get my front clipping plane to show up white, blue, yellow, or any color other than black given my black background!
3ds Max :: Why Are Graphics Of Other Parts Disappearing

Jan 6, 2014today I encountered a very disturbing problem while using AutoCad 2014. I was preparing a complex 3d model and suddenly parts started to vanish on a certain zoom. It was very irritating but the biggest prolem is that after turning it off and on again, those parts are completely missing from the model (without saving).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Measuring Between Tabbed Parts And Lost Dimensions With Replace Model Reference
Aug 27, 2012Two different problems (questions). These are IV2012 files but the problems are the same in 2013.
Open the two attached ipt's. Launch the Measure Distance tool and measure between the blue an red face on the DimTest. It should read 1 inch.
Change to DimTest Derive using the tabs on the status line. Measure still gives 1 in. Change precision to All Decimals. The mouse pointer changes to calipers and the distance now measure 1.004 (which is correct)
Switch back to DimTest again using the tabs.
Measure again and notice the mouse pointer still shows the calipers which imply that it is going to return all decimals but the dimension given is still just 1 inch. Either the mouse pointer should change back or all decimals should stick.
OpenDimTest.dwg. Manage> Modify> Replace Model Reference and pick DimTestDerive.
ALL dims disappear and the origin indicator goes sick.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Content Center Parts Placed Into Model Reside In Local Path
Dec 5, 2011Completed a project. Wanted to show the customer the end result and go over changes on my laptop. Copied the directory to my laptop. None of the Nuts & bolts will show up on the laptop version. Got a new desktop computer. Same problem. My completed version doesn't show the content center items, Hence drawings & assemblies are always un-resolved. How can I get the Content center files to show up without deleting and reinserting the items.
Also how can I make the content center parts I place into the model reside in the local path.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Model Dimensions To Fill LENGTH / WIDTH Fields In Drawing Parts List
Mar 1, 2013In our “Parts list” (or BOM as we call it) on our .idw’s we have field for “LENGTH”. For example, we use round tubing. We would list the cut length of that piece of tube in the “LENGTH” column. As it stands now, we add “LENGTH” as a custom iproperty in the .ipt. Then in the drawing we add that property to the parts list to capture the length. This works fine, but I’m wondering if we can eliminate some steps by capturing the actual dimension from the sketch to automatically populate the “LENGTH” value. Needless to say, this would eliminate room for error (less typing) and will update the value automatically if length is changed or if the part is copied. I suppose the same would apply for “WIDTH” on sheet metal parts... How do I do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Showing Two Instances Of Parts List And Adding Custom Parts
Mar 30, 2012On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Parts With Work Planes Defined By Other Parts
May 2, 2013I am working on an assembly that is designed around a box (bounding box) that could change size. I modeled the bounding box and placed it in a new assembly file. All other parts have been created within the assembly by referencing that bounding box with starting work plane and project geometry.
The problem comes in when I change the bounding box dimensions. The work planes for each additional part, which were defined by the faces of the bounding box, do not move when the sides move. Also, my projected geometry is not updating correctly. This is a simple box, with all 90° corners. So, all associated parts (at this point) are just rectangles.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Virtual Parts Weight Total BOM And Parts List
Aug 7, 2013I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??
AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?
Dec 9, 2013Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies Showing In Parts Only Parts List
Jul 10, 2012I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.
So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.
One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.
AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW View / Parts List Changes From Structured To Parts Only
May 3, 2013IV 2010 Suite
Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Not Selecting For Parts List
Sep 22, 2011I have a .idw that I'm trying to make a parts list on. I select parts list and highlight everything. There are two screws that are not showing up on the parts list. I cannot select them manually either. It's acting like they are not there. Even if I do a complete parts list (adding the assemblies parts into one big list), they still don't show up.
How can I select these parts? What is wrong with them that they do not show up in the parts list?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Reuse Parts Rather Than Create New Parts
Jul 25, 2012I have been working with an assembly today where it is ideal to mirror parts and have figured out how to reuse the parts rather than create new parts. Now I find that when the parts are mirrored, they ate not retaining the mates. Where do I find the setting so they either retain their mates, or prefferably retain the mirror so that if I move the origional, the mirror moves as well?
