Removing Ability to use Adaptivity

ross_goldbergQU7DJ — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 04:23:50 GMT

Hey all,

I'm just wondering if there is a setting that removes the ability to make parts adaptive globally within Inventor. We work in such a way with a library of parts that get borrowed between projects, that adaptive parts can cause issues.

Thanks for any help,

No setting out of the box for this, but it is probably a good entry for the idea station:

You'd probably have to use iLogic nowadays to parse through assemblies (before releasing them) to remove all adaptability:

Dim doc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument If doc.DocumentType <> kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MessageBox.Show("This rule can only be run in an assembly file!", "Try again") Return End If Dim iCounter As Integer = 0 ' Loop through all referenced docs in assembly For Each oDoc As Document In doc.AllReferencedDocuments Try If oDoc.ModelingSettings.AdaptivelyUsedInAssembly = True Then oDoc.ModelingSettings.AdaptivelyUsedInAssembly = False iCounter += 1 End If Catch End Try Next MessageBox.Show("Adaptivity was switched off for " & iCounter & " file(s)!", "You're welcome") ' End of iLogic code

Hi!

You can deselect the option below to avoid Inventor set the parts "adaptative", unless you really need it.
Save this setting in the template file.

Are you utilizing Vault?

If so, the commonly shared parts could be authored as Library parts. Then only the Library Editors would have the ability to make them adaptive. No one else would have the ability to modify or alter the library parts (much like content center items).

You could possibly do it without Vault but it would require modifying the READ/WRITE permissions to the shared network folder for the parts.

Hi! There isn't a way to block Adaptive from being used totally. But there are options to reduce the usage. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Assembly -> In-place features -> uncheck all boxes.

Many thanks!
