Hello everyone,
exists a macro to make a table, even crude, of all parts of a project? I take for example the possibility through "programming operation" to transform all .idw files into .dwg.... I would like to have a button that takes me all the .ipt files and creates a single a4 sheet for each file with a standard configuration type: the 3 main views (possibly by automatically adapting the scale of the detail to sheet a4), the odds obtained from the 3d sketches, cartiglio and small distinct with the material, notes, quantity, etc.

with our company we started to make big carpenters, 120,000 parts, with inventor (first we used technometal) and I happened to have to create all the formwork for the workshop by hand!! I do not tell you the time loss to go to click on new idw, choose the file , place the views, insert the tab, etc....

if in autmatic you could at least create a draft of all the formalini and then go to complete them with the due quotas, tolerances etc. would be really exceptional. .

thank you all!:smile:
 
if instead of the boards pull out directly of the banknotes we could also save the time of the design!:tongue::tongue::tongue:

Why did the technometal put the solid parts on the table automatically?
 
Sure. the 4d technometal once created the three-dimensional puts everything on the table automatically; The axioms are to be re-checked and adjusted but the form (a4 with each single component) are good.... the limit of technometal is the difficulty in managing the modeling that is why we went to inventor also for the carpentry. with several iparts I managed to facilitate all the work of grooves between profiles, base plates, ribs, etc... so let's say that for modeling I'm quiet.. It's the food I care about.... understood alone that to make the table of about 100,000 parts each on an a4 you lose all the time recovered in the modeling.

I know that inventor does not have this kind of functions since I use it from far 2003... but not being expert in macro and vba... I was just wondering if it was possible.... comuqnue a nice latte during all hours in front of the pc would be very useful.. :finger:
 
If your trainers were made by i-part or i- assemblies, with a single design you could manage them through a tabellina, where the odds are indicated that vary according to a code or what you want.... but it would be to create families of "like" parts or if they have a relationship between them.
 
Who knows if with the new feature of the bonus pack that allows you to reassociate a new file to an idw could you find some advantage?
. the main views may be preset
. the cartilage if well set the i-property you find it fixed
. the scale should probably be modified
. if you quota with recover quotas from sketch you have to reconnect them or complete them
. for the distinguished should be tried

I don't know if all this work is confusing anymore.
I would rather requote

greetings
 
Let's say that a little step forward I did. . .
I have inserted in the defoult of the idw the 3 views and the cartiglio with some writings that takes from the iproperties.. then I inserted a small distinct that tells me the size of the piece, material, weight, n° position and quantity. . .
but I found a mistake: if in the defoult file you insert the distinct then when you open new idw and you select the file of the part to create the 3 views automatically the distinct disappear. . Does anyone of you know why?

other information: Unfortunately I am forced to enter the total quantities to be built in manual with a text box.. it is possible to trace in how many assemblies is mounted. example: in a shed I have 6 columns with which 2 different therefore in total are 2 similar axioms repeated 4 and 2 times. in each set I have the same base plate therefore in the form a4 of the piece I will have to write that the total amount to be realized is 6. is there a way to make it write automatically so as not to risk forgetting in which axioms is mounted?

thank you all.. .
 
I think in visual basic you can do something, the steps to do would be:
- Part one.
- new idw
-Basic view (open ipt file)
-projections
-Recover quotas
-Table with properties that cover from idw

maybe even a simple macro.
would be to try, with a minimum of experience with vb.....
 
It's just the least vb experience that blocks me... I am looking for a macro recorder type that contained in excel that revenues the code for vb.... but I find nothing:
a few days ago I saw the efx module (module for carpentry) for pro/e and has a function like the example of diegus.. with a click you create as many designs as the parts of the project (the drawings are all to be reviewed but it is already a good time saving). . .
Come on! !

These counts are usually managed with pdm. I don't know what the market for autodesk offers, but it's usually so.
my pdm (for solidworks and not compatible with inventor for now) as well as keeping the "conditions" and all the info type where used, creation of distinct, etc.. automatically makes the tables with the three views and has excellent functions for the formworks such as copy and paste table style which copies a table (views, quotas, details, tables, notes) from one model to another model, and the clone command, which clones me a model (with another code) carrying behind the table.

I want to ask you a question: So you find a cad as an inventor if he can handle it well in the case of sheds and carpentry of that kind? I would have thought that he would take them to great (as if and swx) by the most established steelpro, tecnometal and bocad.
 
if you can handle it well if you solve the problem of automatic putting into the table... inside unfortunately does not have macros for scales, whims and knots but I noticed that very often these macros cannot be utlized because of their little malleability. with that little shortness you can create iparts and ifeature that solve some of these gaps. you can also create 3d unifilari skeletons already set of scales, whims and running routes (changeable with quotas) and then bind us the profiles.

I don't think that carpentry can overcome the programs mentioned by you but at the price of one you have a very versatile program, easily customizable excellent for mechanics and forcing it a little too good for carpentry.

sacred words!
 
Turning around the net I found something really interesting. . a .ivb file contain a really powerful macro series also for the creation of automatic idw by selecting directly the parts or subsets from a set... sin that I do not know the vb but I think that it is very little to be able to create a truly functional macro.

I attach the above file to allow everyone to view it:http://digilander.libero.it/cleps82/drawing%20samples.ivbthat maybe you can do something interesting!!!! :finger:
 
something like a prosteel for inventor 11 had been developed but the project I think was abandoned perhaps due to the disastrous management of the great assemblies that had the inventor 11. I had tried the demo and it was really slow.
 
Why bother you with inventor? definitely inventor is a great tool for mechanics but not for carpentry. test prosteel and I guarantee you as well as being dedicated to the automatic creation of the executive drawings of workshop and certainly much more powerful than technometal.

are available for any confron

I fully agree with savior_ut; also because [Cisia] if you have/have purchased the inventor suite, it is included autocad so you have no problem testing prosteel. If you need me, I'm at your disposal. Hello, everyone.

with prosteel 3d, you can create custom macro parametric, with which to create 3d models quickly.
from model 3d automatically extracts individual pieces, groups, views, material tables, files nc. etc.
you can see some prefabricated macros and stairs on my site, I have many others, some macros and demos working you can download it and try, you obviously have prosteel.
Hi.
 
I'm only inscribed today at the forum and I'm afraid I'm late for the discussion I'm very interested in. It is right who says that for carpentry there are better programs of invertor (I have seen demos of tekla for example), but for a carpentry linked to the structures of machines and plants, in which there are also standard profiles, but above all plates and plates can go well inventor or solidwork.
there is however the need to have the single forming machines and then order them by type and/or thickness for the plates and make nesting.
you can do well by hand, but with many parts it is necessary automatism "controlled".
Thank you. Mapel
