Sep 20, 2011I have created a project in a metric template, then found that the scale factor is haywire. Is there some way to rest the template with out loosing my work or changing anything other than the physical line properties?
Second, I have loaded the same file onto another students file who's scale factor is A OK and metric. My file LOOKS fine but when i start to add lines or dimension all the properties are imperial.

Photoshop :: Cropping Tool Has Gone Haywire
Sep 10, 2013The cropping tool no longer works simply and efficiently. Instead of just drawing a rectangle around what I want to keep, it sort of floats vertically for a distance, then stops. There is also a grid of six squares, which I don't need.

Jul 11, 2010I have to design some things that will be fairly complex and also completely symmetrical. if there's anyway to have Illustrator automatically mirror something as i draw it, how the object is coming along big picture-like. I know this is possible in 3d programs I've used like 3DS max, but not sure about Illustrator. Or is there another CAD type program they'll do it that I could then import into illustrator?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Stop Opening A Drawing Consistently?
Oct 29, 2013I would like to run some code BEFORE AutoCAD opens a drawing. It's a simple validation routine. Ideally speaking the sequence would run as follows...
The user opens a drawing in some way (file dialog, windows explorer, sheet set, etc) I run my validation routine If it passes validation let AutoCAD open it / If it doesn't abort the process.
I can override the OPEN command and substitute my own, but there are a variety of ways to get a dwg open. How to stop or abort opening a drawing consistently? Even if it's not .net?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Stop Updating Drawing From Linked Part
Oct 7, 2012So I am using Inventor LT 2012 in a small company that makes conveyor rollers. Most of the time we make the same roller with only different values to the variables. So I decided to make a part with the parameters in an Excel sheet:
A customer call us, and they want a roller with x,y,z dimensions, I put in in Excel and the drawing is ready.
But, when I need to make a second drawing of that roller with different dimensions, the first one also change.
Is there any way to keep a drawing fix when it is done ? If possible, only making a dwg for each customer without having to make an ipt and excel sheet for each drawing would be awesome !

Jul 31, 2012I use Cad for Mac 2011. I made this "3d"-wire drawing to find out the angles of an object. Now when I make an angular inquiry the value given is right. When I try to put in an angular dimension it does not work. I put in a screenshot here to be more clear. This is the situation viewed from southeast:
Agular dimension.jpg
So, the angle I want to put the dimension to is the one between the red lines. When I choose "Angular Dimension" and then pick the two lines the dimension is automatically put on the two white lines next to the red lines. While the verteces of the dimension lay on the picked red lines the arrows point to the white lines and the value given also refers to them.
AutoCad 3D :: Dimensions In Drawing Placed On One Plane?
Apr 20, 2010I would like to ask a question about dimensions in 3D drawing being placed on one plane. I have a 3D drawing, and when I draw a dimension, it gets placed by the program on the XY plane. The dimensions do not stay along the dimensioned objects. see the attached picture. For example, you draw a line from [1,1,1] to [3,3,3] and then dimension it. The dim line is placed to [1,1,0]-[3,3,0] instead of along the line.

Nov 23, 2012Is there a way of having different size dimensions on the same drawing? when i go into Annotate, then dimensions and change text size it changes all of the dimensions. in other cad packages i've used you can change selected text and so on a drawing you can for example you can have some text at 100mm and some at 25mm.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Repositioning Dimensions In Drawing Through API?
Jun 24, 2013I'm trying to reposition dimensions in a drawing through the API. The output of my code seems to indicate the method is working, but after it runs the drawing is unchanged. Here's the code (in VBA):
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
Set oSheet = oDoc.Sheets.Item(1)
Dim oLdim As LinearGeneralDimension
Dim oLeaderNote As LeaderNote
Dim oDimLine As LineSegment2d ' Dimension Line
Dim oStartPt As Point2d ' Dimension Line Start Point
Dim oEndPt As Point2d ' Dimension Line End Point
[code]....
Looks like it moved my vertical dimension left, but it doesn't actually do anything. Is this not a viable method for repositioning a dimension?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Retrieving Dimensions In Drawing
Oct 8, 2012I created a sketch then tried to retrieve dimensions in a drawing from the sketch. When I used the retrieve function, no dimensions appeared. I made sure that the box in the Application Options under the Tools tab was checked for retrieving all dimensions upon placement. I have tried numerous ways to retrieve the dimensions, and while I can place them manually, I really need to be able to retrieve all at once as seen on the sketch.
I have been able to use the retrieve function before on files that I downloaded from a website so I know to use the function.
I'm attaching a file which I am having trouble retrieving dimensions. I am using Inventor 2013 educational version.

Jan 11, 2013I'd like to take a set of ordinate dimensions and multiply all the values by 10. Is this possible, without overriding the values and making them static?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm making a flat layout sketch for pockets around a drum. So imagine taking a drum and rolling it out flat. In the direction along the drum I drew it as 1" = 1" and for the circumfrence direction I did 1" = 10° so I don't have sketch that is 13" x 360". So I need to scale the dimensions in 1 direction up by 10.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Drawing Dimensions
Oct 11, 2012I got a new computer recently and installed Inventor 11. I found I could not change the drawing dimensions (It chanced in the Edit Box and shown the changes in the dimensions, but after click "OK", the Edit Box closed and the dimension did not change).
I remember there were the similar problems before and I installed KB918118 fixed it. So I tried to install KB918118. But my computer shown a message saying my computer system is newer and do not need the KB918118 update.
AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Applying Drawing Dimensions?
Jun 22, 2009I am wondering how best to apply drawing dimensions to a view. I am using VBA (Inventor 2010 x64) to modify a template skeletal assembly and save it. I have succeeded at generating the models, drawings, and drawing views, but have hit a wall when I attempt to automate the process of applying drawing dimensions.
I attempted to use GeneralDimensions.Retrieve with the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter, as I wish to retrieve only a few dimensions. My testing, however, indicated (and the helpfile confirmed) that the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter only work if the DimensionConstraint objects belong to a drawing sketch, and I'm retrieving dimensionconstraints from a model sketch. It appears to me that I will have to retrieve all dimensions and then somehow delete the unnecessary ones. This seems unusual to me--is there a better way? Can I, for example, retrieve a single dimensionconstraint at a time from the model rather than all of them at once? Perhaps its suitable applying drawing dimensions without retrieving them from the model?

Jun 27, 2012I use parametric base-model which automatically generates drawing (look "Pic1"). I change parameters I need and new drawing is generated (scale stays the same). However, dimensions on new drawing are displayed in random way (look "Pic2"). Is there a way (iLogic, VBA or smth els) to fix/link dimensins so - that they could stay in an appropriate way (space between dimensions, space between dimension and edge, dimension is centered on line with arrows) when the model size is changed (in this example I have changed the base diameter from 830 to 1280)?
Function "Arrange dimension" does not solve the problem!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Drawing Dimensions To Drive Equation?
Nov 2, 2011I have an asssembly stack and I have a known bending moment at a given place (ie the datum). I want then to create a drawing of this stack up and show the bending moments at known locations beside the relative dimension.
Now I can do this manually no problem...but I would like this drawing to update automatically. ie the stack up height(s) change and i want the bending moment figure to update accordingly.l
Is there a way to do this with drawing dimensions? ie dimensions created in drawing mode?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Dimensions Deleting Upon Print To PDF?
Oct 24, 2013One of the drafters I work with has been having an intermittent problem with Inventor 14 deleting dimensions and notes when he prints a .idw to a .pdf. The problem first popped up when we transitioned to 14 from 12. It only happens once out of every 2 dozen or so prints and is usually caught on the redlines, but it has been overlooked once already requiring the part to be remachined at cost to our employer. No one else in our office has had the problem and it continued to happen after a reinstall; which leads me to think it's some hardware issue.
Included is a screenshot of his system information. We're running Synergis Adept file management software, that may be pertinent as well.

Jun 27, 2012I am trying to figure out how to properly define the dimensions of an exponential curve in a drawing to make it easiest to have the piece machined.
I am starting to wonder if inventor refers to this type of curve as something else entirely, as well. Since an exponential curve is like the shape of an airplane wing and doesn't have a "consistent" angle.
