    10 machines - all identical hardware, drivers, install images, etc. Only one machine would crash at random upon save. Changed setting on Application Options - Display tab from "Use Direct3D 10 Graphics Hardware" to "Use Direct3D Graphics Hardware". No more crash issues. And it's working so I...

    You or you Chrysler contact call the Chrysler Help Desk and open a support ticket. I don't have the number handy right now as I am at home. The process they have outlined doesn't work - so put the leg work back on them. Also in the "SII Admin Database", there is a more recent document (2009)...

    Icon / Toolbar to Switch Units

    Thanks Ferdo! Just what i needed. It's more of less for for when measuring and checking items rather then inputing sizes when designing. If I could set dual unit's when measuring - that would be useful also.

    Icon / Toolbar to Switch Units

    I've tried but cannot figure out. Is there a way to create a macro or something to make an icon that I can toggle back and forth between inches and millimeters? Appreciate the help!

    Saving as Autocad - Setting Layer Linetypes and Colors

    That did the trick. Created an autocad file with all the same layers as in the inventor file and then links the dwg/dxf out config file to it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Saving as Autocad - Setting Layer Linetypes and Colors

    Yeah I have seen that option to do that. I'll have to see if I can get an Inventor drawing to export with all the possible layers to I can set what I want in Autocad.

    IDW save as DWG crashes

    Sorry, I am using Inventor 2010 SP1. There are no special excel spreadsheets or bmp links or anything fancy. My IAM is really just a simple frame made of tubing and plates. The drawing has (1) base view, (1) ISO view and (2) projected views with some ballooning and dimensions.

    IDW save as DWG crashes

    I have a strange situation. When I do a save as on my 32-bit system, from IDW to DWG it crashes. However, when I do it on my 64-bit systems, it works. The IDW file size is only 7MB. Any ideas? BTW, I have tried this on 32-bit systems with and without the /3GB switch varible set, both crash...

    Extract Attributes from PRT Files

    Maybe there is already a tool to do this, but I'd like to run a script of some sort that will give me a text file that lists the desired attributes of a directory of PRT files. Basically we are given a directory of a few hundred parts, that have no description in the filename. I'd rather not...
