I have a SW part file with the following property "D1@Boss-Extrude1@part1.Part", which references the parts extrude length. I want to show this value on my drawing's bom, but when I add it, it lists the name and not the value. Can I make it evaluate the value, or somehow get it to show the...

Hi all, I am doing some digging for one of our developers who is creating a 3rd party app for Inventor. He needs some way to link a property to a measurement on a part. I know that Inventor is capable of this because we have seen it demonstrated thru Inventor itself. I guess the question is...

I am trying to export an Inventor 11 BOM to either a .xls or .mdb file type and get the following error; --------------------------- Autodesk Inventor 11 --------------------------- Couldn't create database--Exception: Unable to append data to file. --------------------------- OK...

When ballooning an assembly, it seems SW balloons them in the order they were inserted into the assembly, starting from 1. Is this info stored anywhere? How does it know what was inserted first? It probably just goes down the feature tree, and assigns an incremental value for each unique...

Hey folks, I would like to update (and add) some custom properties for all my files in the vault, by means of the Task Scheduler. The snag I see is, what directory do I specify for the Task Scheduler? Do I select the directory where the valut resides (even though the contents don't have the...

Does anyone know of a program/utility that will edit the SW Properties, in mass? Meaning, I can select a bunch of SW files, and add/remove/change any properties, and voila, away it goes. I am aware of propagator, but I'm looking for others, Thanks in advance, phreaq Has anyone seen my brain...

Hi y'all I've recently moved into an old school house (built around the 1870s), and an oil furnace was added at some point along the way. The house is 2 storeys, with the upper floor being around 24' x 31' x 12 1/2'. This is quite a large room, and as such, is difficult to heat. The previous...

I've defined most of my common commands with keyboard shortcuts thru Tools - Customize - Keyboard. All work great except for one letter, "E". When I try and assign it to "Extrude" I get a message saying "Key E is already assigned", but it does not mention what it is assigned to, like any other...

I'd like to re-open two closed threads and see if people are still having issues (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=124410 and http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=55587) On a few weldment drawings, we are getting the inner arcs of threads showing in places they should not be...

I've noticed some weird things when it comes to the Undo command, and I find it doesn't always undo your last command. I had one case where I modified a part, and got tonnes of errors, so I clicked 'undo' and it undid something else, and I was still left with all my errors. What does and...

I have a small 'web-site' that I have hyperlinks linking to various SW files (both parts and assemblies). The issue I am having is that the hyperlink opens up the SW file in a new IE window. The feature tree is still there, and it looks like SW (minus the toolbars and menus), but its just IE...

Is there a way to save eDrawings as .htm (instead of .eprt) thru SW Task Scheduler? phreaq Has anyone seen my brain today? (^_^) www.phreaq.net

I am creating "company approved" standards for the toolbox, based on the Ansi Imperial and Metric standards. I created the Imperial set first, with a name "xyz - Imperial" and disabled all the stuff I don't need. My issue is when I create a standard based on the Ansi Metric. I am not getting...

Hey Folks, I'm preparing some info, in hopes my company moves from the ATI cards to the Nvidia, since they just seem to work better in SW. The problem being, I need to justify the extra costs. I know for a $500 - $600 card its only about 25 cents an hour over a year, but I still need...

Where do I go to change the amount of available bolt lengths in the toolbox (and even what bolts)? I wanna limit what is available to choose from, since they have every size under the sun thanks in advance, phreaq Has anyone seen my brain today? (^_^) www.phreaq.net

I live in a corner unit loft, with concrete floors, ceiling and walls. The two inside walls are covered with drywall, and the two outside walls have mostly large windows on them. During the winter months, I get excessive water on the windows and door (its a glass door). So much so in fact, that...

My company currently has a vast library of parts with custom properties in them. On occasion we need design work down outside and we would like to make our library available to the design house. We would probably burn the library to disc, and update it as necessary. My dilemma is when the...

I'd like to get a few ideas from you guys about making an online catalog of our standard designs. Right now, we can see everything in our 'Design Library', but its not very user friendly. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a web page, with pics and generic descriptions, that drill down...

I have an assembly with 4 different configs, all the same components, just in different positions. I am adding washers and bolts from the toolbox, but the mates are only working in one config. When I switch configs, I can drag the bolts around freely. When I switch back to the config I started...

We tend to design and detail in imperial units, including fasteners, but use metric fasteners when using metric purchase items. Now, imagine I have a plate, with imperial holes, and metric holes. I'm using the hole wizard to create all the holes, using the correct units. The issue is the hole...
