iLogic and the Inventor Project File

iLogic and the Inventor Project File




Issue:
You want to reference the current Inventor Project file within an iLogic rule.

Solution:
Here is a quick iLogic snippet that will demonstrate how to work with the Project file and path. In this example the project name, project file name, project path, and the full project path and file name are written to a message box.





------ start of iLogic ----------------------------------------------------------

Dim IPJ as String
Dim IPJ_Name as String
Dim IPJ_Path as String
Dim FNamePos As Long
set a reference to the FileLocations object.
IPJ = ThisApplication.FileLocations.FileLocationsFile
get the location of the last backslash seperator
FNamePos = InStrRev(IPJ, "", -1)    
get the project file name with the file extension
IPJ_Name = Right(IPJ, Len(IPJ) - FNamePos)
get the project name (without extension)
IPJ_ShortName = Left(IPJ_Name, Len(IPJ_Name) - 4)
get the path of the folder containing the project file
IPJ_Folder_Location = Left(IPJ, Len(IPJ) - <

Infinite Skills – Autodesk Inventor 2014 Tutorial Series

Infinite Skills – Autodesk Inventor 2014 Tutorial Series


Are you looking for a video tutorial series for Autodesk Inventor?
 
Infinite Skills has recently released its Learning Autodesk Inventor 2014 series featuring instructor Adam Cooper.  I was provided the DVD and asked to review this tutorial series, and was very pleased with the content found within.
When I popped in the DVD, the autoplay opened the viewing application and presented me with the Chapter menu as shown here:

Once I clicked on Chapter 1, I was presented with a list of topics as shown here:

A status legend on the right shows which videos Ive watched with a shaded dot, as well as a partially shaded dot for those videos that I only watched part of. As you can image this can be a great help when jumping around within the chapters.

Once a topic is selected the video plays in the application. The authors pace is quite good, but since it is a video you can always use the buttons found in the video control tool bar to pause and rewind as needed.

 Also included on the DVD are all of the working files needed for the exercises. The files can be accessed easily via the video interface.

Hybrid Wireframe and Shaded Views in Autodesk Inventor

Hybrid Wireframe and Shaded Views in Autodesk Inventor





Issue:
You want to create a view on your drawing that has some parts shaded and some that look wire-framed, so you can show some particular detail of your assembly in your detailed drawing.


In the past you could do it as described in tip #1 at this link, but that seems not to work now.
http://inventortrenches.blogspot.com/2011/06/autodesk-inventor-tips-from-around-web.html

Solution:
Here is another way to do this.

Create one new Positional Representation ( no need to do anything else with it, other than creating it).
  • Create 2 View Representations
  • In View Representation 1, turn off the visibility of the part you want to show wireframe
  • In View Representation 2, turn off the visibility of everything else
  • Create a drawing Base View and set it to use View Representation 2
  • Create an Overlay View, and set it to use the Positional Representation and View Representation 1
  • In the Overlay View dialog box set the style to be not shaded & hidden lines removed
  • And also in the Overlay View dialog box set the Layer dropdown to be As Parts.


  • Heres a link to a quick video I created, but I think the CADLine blog has covered this better at this link:
