Certain hatch patterns not being printed

[Anonymous]

After upgrading to 2016, certain hatch patterns are not being printed. Look at following example

In Inventor:

PDF file:

It looks like certain hatch patterns are not getting printed regardless of line weight, colour, etc.

Anyone had similar issue?!

Hi! Many thanks for providing an example! But, I cannot reproduce the behavior on R2/SP1 build 210. Could you take a snapshot of Inventor Help -> About? I want to know what exact build you have on your machine.

Thanks again!

I attached screenshots of the application manager showing the install and the build. Although I am not on the same build as you mentioned.?

Daryl,

SP1/R2 didn't install properly for you. You should be seeing build 210 in Help About.

Can you please look in your %temp% folder & zip up the most recent files called "Autodesk Inventor 2016 R2" "Autodesk Inventor 2016 SP1" "Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 SP1.log" "Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 English Language Pack SP1.log" & attach them here ?

Thanks

Chris

There is nothing in my temp folder. This is in the application manager folder and this is all I can find.

[ChrisMitchell01]

OK, could you also check under c:\windows\temp & C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp ?

If you don't have any log files, then what happens if you simply double click that file ?

Thanks

Chris

When I run the installer it installs:
Force effect plugin
Content IDF library
Nastran silver
Stress analysis
Shelby + enabler

But it still shows build 138

Daryl,

I believe this is due to a legacy issue where an incorrect version of 2016 Update1 was released for a short time & then when it was re-released it was possible to reapply the new Update1 without first removing the previous update1.

We'll investigate this further, but in your case I would suggest:

1. Remove R2 if possible - using this command in a cmd prompt:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\Bin\UninstallTool.exe" R2

2. Remove Inventor 2016 English Language Pack SP1 using this command:

Msiexec.exe /uninstall {C2B4B6F5-2010-1033-0064-E0CB94366A9C} /package {7F4DD591-2064-0001-1033-7107D70F3DB4} /qb

3. Remove Inventor 2016 SP1 using this command:

Msiexec.exe /uninstall {C2B4B6F5-2000-1000-0064-E0CB94366A9C} /package {7F4DD591-2064-0001-0000-7107D70F3DB4} /qb

4. Remove Inventor 2016 Update 1 (Inventor SP1 supesedes it)

Msiexec.exe /promptrestart /qb /uninstall {D9AD67F6-F5D8-4377-8826-01687953EF10} /package {7F4DD591-2064-0001-0000-7107D70F3DB4} SETUP=1

5. Reboot

6. Install R2 again.

Far from ideal I know....

I will give it a try. Thank you for all the help with this. Much appreciated.

[Anonymous]

That did it. Build is correct now and custom hatch patterns are indeed plotting now. Thank you to everyone for seeing this through to the end.

[ChrisMitchell01]

Thanks for confirming Daryl & sorry it was so arduous.

You need to go thru the same steps I did that Chris laid out a few post earlier. You should be on build 210.

[Mark.Lancaster]

@Anonymous

You still have the release to manufacturing (or original) version.  Use the link I provided and update to SP1.  If you are on an active subscription then download and install R2/SP1 version.

Don't post your serial number!!  The whole world can see it here.

Hello Chris,

I also have the problem with hatch patterns not working and SP not willing to install - so I tried out what you said but I couldn't reach to success - maybe

because I have a french language pack ?

Builing Design Ultimate 2016

On trying to run the R2/2016 I got the message to look here but the page isn't working ...

http:/knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-1328-when-installing-Update-1-for-lnventor-20
15.html

So please, could you please have once again a look into this ?  I have really a big need for help because I actually need to have a full use of Inventor to get th e job done !

Thanks - best regards - Frank

Hi Frank,

Here is the updated page:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcartic...

Typically there are 2 causes for such an error:

You need to uninstall the Franch Language pack & then reinstall it from:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/inventor-2...

If that doens't fix it then the likely cause is that the Building Design Suite's initial release didn't contain the correct release build of Inventor; that's why the initial page suggets downloading it again & then reinstalling.

Hope this helps,

Chris
