    Hello and sorry for the late response, i had tons of work to do :/

     

    Yes, the IVB you provided me works really well, thank you!

     

    But (once again), i just have one more doubt:
    - when you define a hole tolerance as H7 (or other), Inventor automatically sets the upper and lower tolerance values according to the nominal diameter of the hole, right ? So, my question is: when Inventor sets these values, is there a way to access and export them both - H7 and the respective tolerance values (upper and lower) ?

     

    I'm not sure if I explained myself correctly, but if you can help me or have any questions, feel free to ask them !


    Thank you again,

    Regards
    JVC

    Sure, the Upper/Lower values are already there and you can export them. See updated attachment.

    Hello,

    I hope you're doing well.

     

     

    Regarding to the previous problem I had, there is a question I sttil have:

     

    - when modelling a part file in Inventor, only the dimensions we set (dimensions we give a name and a value), are listed in the parameters table. This way, the macro you gave me only exports the information listed in that table. 

    - the information listed in the parameters table is based on sketches and features dimensions, as obvious.

     

    So , my question is: is it possible to access the information (dimension values) contained in a feature (or a sketch) without setting a specific name or value to it?

     

    For example, in the attached pictures, if a rectangular form is drawn and the dimensions are setted, these will be lisetd in the parameters table (see attached  "pic1" and "pic1 - params").

    But, in the other hand, if the same rectangular form is drawn, but this time without setting any dimension, the parameters table will be empty, obviously (see attached  "pic2").

     

    After this, i can surely presume that Inventor saves or keeps this information somehow, somewhere, without having to set dimensions or values.

     

    So, my question is: is it possible to access sketches and/or features information without setting this values?

    I hope i have explained my doubt correctly, if not, let me know!

     

     

    My best regards, 

    JVC

    Hello, Zhang:

     

    I tried to do as you said, I got a inform " User Defined type not defined"

     

    What can I do now?

     

    Thanks!

    This sounds like a similiar issue I mentioned above, you should have a proper Excel Object Library referenced for this VBA to work. The attached VBA has the Excel 2010(14.0) referenced, if you have a different Excel version installed you should change it to yours. You can get to the References dialog from Tools->References....

     

    Hope this helps.
