Farbe der Reiter in den Ribbons ändern

Eben kam per Email die Frage rein, ob sich die Ribbonfarbe (der schwarzer Hintergrund hinter den Registern) ändern lässt:

Guten Tag,
[…] Bei Inventor 2011 ist die Standardfarbe der Menüreiter schwarz/dunkelgrau. Da ich nicht mit der "Klassischen Ansicht" arbeiten möchte wo sie heller erscheinen, frage ich mich ob es möglich ist auch in 2011 diese schwarze Farbe wegzubekommen oder heller zu machen.
Leider habe ich in dieser Hinsicht auch wenig Hoffnung da in allen Videos die ich bisher gesehen habe diese Farbe gleich ist.

Das Problem: Die dunkle Farbe mit der die Register hinterlegt sind:

Die Lösung: Unter Extras > Anwendungsoptionen > Farben auf Farbthema “Hell” umschalten, schon ist die Hintergrundfarbe der Register heller:

Bild in eine Skizze einfügen

Hier ein Video, das zeigt, wie man in eine Skizze ein Bild einfügt und dort noch ausrichten und manipulieren kann.

Videoanleitung: iAssemblies erstellen

Autodesk hat ein Video erstellt, das erklärt, wie man iAssemblies erstellt.

Inventor 2010 Netzwerklizenz starten nicht mehr und AutoCAD 2010 bringt einen Lizenzfehler -5.412.0

Bei einem Kunden startete die Inventor 2010 Netzwerkversion nach einem Bluescreen unter Windows Vista nicht mehr. Die Inventor.exe tauchte kurz im Taskmanager auf und nach dem der Speicher auf ca. 90MB hochgezählt hatte, verschwand die inventor.exe wieder. AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 bringt einen Fehlermeldung in der Art:

Es war keine gültige Lizenz vom Netzwerklizenzmanager zu bekommen.
Wenn Sie immer noch nicht auf eine Lizenz zugreifen können, wenden Sie sich an den Systemadministrator.

Fehler [-5.412.0]

Abhilfe:

Die Datei CascadeInfo.cas die im folgenden Verzeichnis zu finden ist, umbenennen. Unter Windows XP C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Autodesk\AdLM und unter Windows Vista oder Windows 7 C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\AdLM

Danke an den Kunde, der den Fehler recherchiert und mir die Lösung mitgeteilt hat!

Zeichnung: Was sind abgerufene Modellmaße und welche Maße wurden überschrieben?

In der Inventorzeichnung gibt es einen Filter, der alle aus dem 3D Modell abgerufenen Maße, alle in der Zeichnung vorhanden und alle überschriebene Maße anzeigt.

Erreichbar ist die Auswahl oben bei den Auswahlfiltern die mittels Shift+rechte Maustaste.

Was man so alles mit Autodesk Software machen kann…

Manchmal kommt mir das ganze Maschinenbauerzeug eher fade vor ;)

Schon nicht schlecht, was man mit 3ds Max, Maya und Softimage alles machen kann!

Design Review (DWF Viewer) ohne Installation starten

Wer einem anderen eine DWF Datei schickt, der kein Design Review installiert hat, der hat ein Problem: Wie soll der andere die DWF Datei anschauen? Aber Abhilfe ist in Sicht! Über spoon.net und der Installation eines kleinen Plugins kann Design Review und viele andere Programme gestartet werden, ohne die Software zu installieren.

So geht’s:

1. Auf http://www.spoon.net/CAD gehen
2. Das Plugin installieren
3. Design Review anwählen
4. Design Review wird beim erstmaligen starten lokal gepuffert, was ein paar Minuten dauern kann
5. Design Review startet.

Es gibt noch viele andere Programme, die sich so ohne Installation ausführen lassen. Hier ein kleiner Auszug.

Weitere Infos zu Design Review hier im Blog.

Inventor vs. SolidWorks: Inventor gewinnt in alle Vergleichskategorien

Alle paar Jahre gibt es ein Dokument, das die beiden Hauptkontrahenten im MCAD-Markt vergleicht. In der aktuellen Studie geht der Inventor in alle Kategorien als Sieger vom Platz. OK, Autodesk hat diese unabhängige Studie in Auftrag gegeben, also könnten man sagen, wäre auch ne schlechte Studie, wenn Inventor dort “abgestunken” hätte.

Our client for this project, Autodesk, wanted an independent analysis of how Autodesk Inventor Professional 2011 functionally compared with SolidWorks Premium 2010.

Aber das er gleich in alle Kategorien gewinnt, das hätte selbst der Autodeskler Rob nicht gedacht:

And I have to be honest - I was surprised by the results of TechniCom's recent benchmark study pitting Autodesk Inventor Professional 2011 up against Dassault Systems SolidWorks Premium 2010. Autodesk Inventor won out in all 15 core user capabilities.

Das freut natürlich die Autodeskler (und auch mich ;) ). Das Whitepaper zu dieser Studie kann hier heruntergeladen werden. Ich finde das Whitepaper etwas dünn, weil ich nicht sehen kann, an welchen Beispielen der vergleich durchgeführt wurde.

Hier ein Video, das zeigt, was der Inventor heute z.B. im Bereich Kunststoffbauteile kann. Da hat es vor ein paar Jahren auch noch anders ausgesehen bei dem Thema ;)

Und jetzt haut der Rob richtig "auf die Ka**e" ;)

Wie oft wurde der Inventor gestartet, beendet und wie oft ist er abgestürzt?

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber in der Registry unter HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion14.0\System sind 3 Einträge zu finden mit Namen CCount, ECount und SCount was – vermutlich – für Start Count, End Count und Crash Count steht. Dahinter sind Werte zu sehen, die wohl Häufigkeit der Inventorstarts, Inventor beenden und Crashes zeigen.

E + C = S müsste gelten. Aber wenn der Inventor gar nicht mit bekommt, das er gecrashed ist, dann kann er dafür auch keinen Wert schreiben.

Sind aber, wie gesagt, nur Vermutungen von mir.

Welche Blechteile wurden mit dem alte Abwickler von DataM und welche mit dem neue Abwickler erstellt [Tool]

Ich habe ein Tool von Autodesk bekommen (danke dafür!), das ermitteln kann, bei welchen Blechbauteilen der alte DataM Abwickler und bei welchen der neue Abwickler des Autodesk ShapeManagers verwendet wurde. Ermittelt wird dabei, ob am Ende der Abwicklung im Baum der Eintrag “Ende der Abwicklung” steht.

So sieht das Tool aus:

Über “Browse…” das Projekt wählen. Das Tool sucht alle IPTs und ermittelt, ob es eine Blechteil ist oder nicht. Über den Klick auf “Start identification” wird die Analyse gestartet und das Ergebnis dann in der Liste farblich hervorgehoben.

Im Download enthalten ist das Tool als Ausführbares Programm (Verz. Unfolder_identifier\bin) sowie der VB Quellcode. Sprachabhängig muss an dieser Stelle der entsprechende Text angepasst werden, was ich für euch gemacht habe ;)

Hier kann das Tool runtergeladen werden!

Inventor 2011 Skizze: Maß verschwindet obwohl ein Wert eingeben wird

Wird in der Skizze z.B. ein Kreis, eine Linie oder ein Rechteck gezeichnet lassen sich während des Zeichnens direkt die Maße eingeben.

Nach dem Bestätigen mit der Eingabetaste, wird dann auch das Maß erstellt:

Sollte das nicht mehr der Fall sein, kann das wie im Bild unten dargestellt, umgestellt werden. Einfach “Beständige Bemaßung” aktivieren.

Das geht auch in den Anwendungsoptionen im Register Skizze:
