PDF Dokument zur “Anleitung zur Inventor Add-In Erstellung (Programmieren in VB.NET)”

Daniel Geisbauer hat den Autodesk Web-Workshop “My First Inventor Plug-in Training” in ein PDF Dokument zusammengefasst zum leichteren Ausdrucken. Danke Daniel für die Arbeit und das Dokument.

Zeichnung: Text an Ansicht “anheften”

Ivanka hat mir einen Tipp geschickt, den ich gerne hier poste. Danke für den Tipp, Ivanka! Wer selbst einen Tipp hat, kann mir den gerne schicken! Weitere Infos hier: Den Inventor FAQ Blog unterstützen

Um einen Text an eine Ansicht anzuheften, das er mit der Ansicht verschoben wird, kann folgendes gemacht werden:

Anstelle eines n0rmalen Textes einen Führungslinientext erstellen. (Der kann übrigens auch Modellparameter als Text enthalten. In diesem Bild besteht der Text aus dem festen Wert t= und dem Wert des Parameters “Stärke”.)

Was jetzt noch stört, ist die Führungslinie. Diese über RMT > “Führungslinie löschen” entfernen.

Wer die Einheiten oder Nachkommastellen bearbeiten will, bei einem übernommenen Modellparameter kann das über RMT > “Einheitenattribute bearbeiten” tun.

Übersicht über die Inventor 2012 Tastaturkürzel

Ansichten in der Zeichnung (nicht) assoziativ zu Ansichtsdarstellungen der Baugruppe

Zuerst mal zu den Baugruppen Ansichtsdarstellungen. Meine Baugruppe hat 3 Ansichten: die Hauptansicht, Ansicht1 und Ansicht 2. Und so sehen diese Ansicht bei mir aus:

Wie man sieht, wurde in der Ansicht1 bei ein paar Bauteile die Farbe geändert und in der Ansicht2 wurden Bauteile unsichtbar geschaltet.

Wenn nun eine Zeichnungsansicht erstellt wird, so kann beim erstellen oder dem anschließenden bearbeiten der Ansicht gewählt werden, auf Basis welcher Baugruppenansicht die Zeichnungsansicht erstellt werden soll.

 

Wird der Haken “Assoziativ” nicht gesetzt, besteht keine Verbindung zur Baugruppenansicht, d.h. eine Änderung in der Baugruppenansicht spiegelt sich in der Zeichnung nicht wieder.

Haken “Assoziativ” nicht gesetzt = Keine Verknüpfung zur Baugruppenansicht aber Bauteile können nachträglich in der Zeichnung unsichtbar gemacht werden, wie  man im Bild unten sieht. Die Baugruppenansicht wurde geändert (gelbe Bauteile) aber die Teile in der Zeichnung bleiben blau. Zudem können in der Zeichnung Bauteile separat unsichtbar gemacht werden.

Haken “Assoziativ” gesetzt = Es besteht eine Verknüpfung zur Baugruppenansicht aber Bauteile können nachträglich in der Zeichnung nicht unsichtbar gemacht werden, wie  man im nächsten Bild sieht.

Assoziativ => Es können nicht nachträglich Bauteile in der Ansicht unsichtbar gemacht werden. Der Eintrag “Sichtbarkeit” ist ausgegraut.

Umfrage zur Installation von Vault

Das Autodesk Data Management Team macht eine Umfrage zu den Erfahrungen bei der Vault Installation.

We are conducting a short survey to research the Autodesk Vault user install experience. The survey consists of 17 questions and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. The results of this survey will help us to improve how Vault is installed in future versions. Your participation in this survey is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Inventor 2011 stürzt sofort beim Starten ab

Wenn der Inventor 2011 unter Benutzer A sofort beim Start abstürzt und einen CER abschicken will, nicht aber, wenn sich Benutzer B an Windows anmeldet, dann kann das u.a. an der Registry oder einem Verzeichnis auf der Festplatte liegen.

Registryzweig löschen

regedit starten und die Registryzweige (und nur diese, d.h. unter HKEY_CURRENT_USER!)

1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\Current Version
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion15.0

löschen. Vorher am besten sichern.

Geht der Inventor jetzt wieder? Gut, dann die Anwendungsoptionen wieder neu einrichten.

Geht nicht? dann folgendes probieren:

Verzeichnis umbenennen

Das Verzeichnis C:\Users\<Windows-Benutzername>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2011 umbenennen.

Geht der Inventor 2011 jetzt wieder? Gut!

Geht immer noch nicht? Dann den Inventor 2011 deinstallieren, alle Inventorpfade und Registryeinträge  löschen und Inventor 2011 neuinstallieren.
