ipart table activation

StainlessBOB — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 14:55:07 GMT

Greetings, We just upgraded to inventor 2022. We use an ipart to generate various tubing sizes and lengths. In the past 10 plus years I was able to save the tube length as the new IPT number then activate the table on the top line in the part browser to edit the length. By right mouse click then activate to open and change the length. Activate no longer opens the table, it just does nothing now. Break link works in the same pop up window but not activate. thoughts?

Hi Bob,

In terms of iPart, I am not aware of a change in workflow behavior. Please share an example iPart so I can try it on 2022.5.1. If you have not installed it, please do so.

Many thanks!

Sounds like you're in a member part and not the factory.

Hi! This is a custom iPart member file. It should just bring up the "placement" dialog allowing you to choose a member and enter a custom parameter value. Another possibility is that the custom iPart factory has been converted back to a regular iPart (custom parameter columns removed).

It seems to work fine for me on 2022.5.1 update. Please install the update. Or share the iPart factory and the iPart member file here.

Many thanks!
