iAssembly Table gone

[nbradbury]

I have been creating some iassemblies and I just ran into a problem. I had a factory that had about 400 members. I then added four new options and I know have about 1200 members. After I edited the excel file and closed it the list of members below the table icon in the model panel disapeared (see attached). I can't change the members any more. I tried re-starting Inventor. I tried changing the "List By" keys and member name back and forth. I opend the table to edit and verified the members. I cannot get it to work.

Is there a limit to the number of members you can have? If not does anyone know how I can get this assembly working agian?

So I just delted several rows in my iassembly to make sure I was under 1000 members. I have 981 now and the members are back in the modle panel. Is 1000 members the magic number? If so why? I was planning on creating approximately 8,000 members with this file.

row 65536


COLUMN 256

ROW 65536

Nathan,

Well, I sent this before I intended to, but the numbers are correct, 256 and
65536. What version of Excel are you using?

Can you zip up your assembly and send it to me at
richard.willis@autodesk.com?
I'd like to take a look

Thanks,

I had this issue on an iAssembly that I did back in R11. I was told that for performance reasons, when the number of rows exceed 1000, Inventor hides the tree view so it would not need to go through the lengthy updates.

That must still be the limit.

There probably is a way around it by editing the registry if you really need to see the members.

Do you know longer have any issues with iassemblies being over 1000 members?

How do you generate members if you cannot see them in the tree?

The file zipped is 27 MB. I have Excel 2003, but that should not make any difference.

It has been a while since I messed with those that large. I am sure that I still have the issue, but I now try to keep them under 1000 rows.

When you place it in an assembly, can you not chose the table view?

There are ways around it.

Hi! If any of the columns is marked as Key column, by default 1000 is the maximum number of rows shown in the browser.
If you need to unblock the limit, you can do one of the followings.
#1, Do not mark any column a key. Or
#2, In a command line, execute regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersionX.0\System\Preferences\Catalog\
Add a new DWORD, "MaxRowInBrowser" and its decimal value is equal to the maximum number of rows you want to display.

Hello Shiue,

Could you be more specific with the modification?

I have a major problem with a huge iassembly.

My Keys have all disappeared.

Please help, I will check back first thing Monday morning.

Thanks,
