Data Standard Modifications

Is it possible to make the following changes to Data Standard with Inventor?
1. Remove the option to "Enable" or "Disable" Data Standard for all users in Inventor (make it mandatory).
2. Allow naming & renaming of IDW files. By default the file name is greyed out and the drawing just takes the name of the part/assembly added.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

 

1. Remove the option to "Enable" or "Disable" Data Standard for all users in Inventor (make it mandatory).

I can't help you here but I think you can accomplish this with VBA script. You will need to know the internal names of the buttons (internal names can be found using the sample VBA script found in the Inventor API help) and then use those internal names to disable them through the VBA script that runs when Inventor starts.
2. Allow naming & renaming of IDW files. By default the file name is greyed out and the drawing just takes the name of the part/assembly added.

This can done by changing the default setting of Vault options dialog, under the Vault tab. Enable the highlighted checkbox to have the file names different from the model added.

Hope it helps!
