INVALID CELL VALUE ERROR IN FAMILY TABLE

clamuro-IPEC — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 20:32:27 GMT

I am getting an error when editing a copied structural member. I copied ANSI L (Unequal angles) family to the company library to modify the naming, description, material, etc.

When creating framing members, the file name is using 0.001 as the part length no matter what the actual length is. I went into the Family Table to check the Length column expression and it looks just like the stock inventor family. However, when I delete the contents of the length column so Inventor can regenerate the values based on the custom column expression, it gives me the following error: Invalid Cell Value.

I have tried it the following ways and they both give the error:

[0.001;243;0.001;0.001]

[0.001;243;;]

Hi,

Please look at the image below this is a copy of the content center standard you mentioned. See if adding that expression address the issue.

That is the exact expression that is in there. I have also tried using the expression "builder" that comes up when you click the "..." button. Both produce the same result.

I'm having the same exact issue right now with a copied version of the threaded pipe.

tech support contacted me about this post. I supplied them with a copy of my CC to examine and try to reproduce the issue. Basically what it boils down to is that I wasn't doing anything wrong but their table editing is buggy and not stable. Eventually, after multiple tries, I got it to take and the file name updates.
