    Reorganizing Inventor Files

    David, I mean one thing you have to do now is rename models. Don't use free user names ever. Instead of that use numeric or alfanumeric names linked with your projects. Vary usefull renaming helper is iAssemblyTools at www.cbliss.com/inventor/iCode/index.htm but it seems that unfortunately it...

    Can I make an equation betwen a part dimension and the distance betwen

    Hi VirgilSECARA. I think you can make it by this way. Within part environments check export of parameters you interest in(table of parameters-"fx").In assembly use derived part and check parameters only. Do it as many times as you have parts in equation. In the table of parametrs (assembly) you...

    smudged texts

    Hi everybody, we have installed INV9 recently and been annoyingly surprized by smudged texts in drawing environment. Sharpness of texts is changed by zooming. We were said it is common in INV9. Can this property be reduced or switched off.

    multiple users trying not to use the same part numbers

    gib2j, we have got probably as an older Excel as '97 , haven't you. Older versions have no possibility to work with shared file.

    multiple users trying not to use the same part numbers

    gib2j, I am convinced you needn'd close the shared file. Just save that and other users must update this open file i.e. accept new modifications.Of course you must set file as shared in advance, beeing the first user.

    renaming parts or sub assemblies

    Hi all, I have completly renamed a big project recently. It is true, replacement of components is slow and unreliable. Better way is: - note original/new names - rename parts/assem files in some file manager - open an assembly and point out new names - keep hierarchy from down to top, from...

    Transfer of an text string from Excel table

    Please, advise me. Beginning to use Excel table driven parts I can't manage transfer of an text string from Excel. Inventor evaluetes text string as a number. Is there any way to surpass it?
