Inventor crashing with new 3D Annotations in drawing

[DWhiteley]

I have found that Inventor 2018 crashes when using GetRetrievableDimensions if the model document contains the new 3D Annotations:

Dim oDims As GeneralDimensions
oDims = osheet.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions

For Each oView In oViews

  oRetDims = oDims.GetRetrievableDimensions(oView)

(Works fine in 2017)

Hi Dave,

Please try the following sample code.

Dim oDims As GeneralDimensions
oDims = oSheet.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions

For Each oView in oViews

      Dim objColl As ObjectCollection
      objColl = oDims.GetRetrievableDimensions(oView)

Next

If still Inventor crashes, then please provide document which contains 3 D annotation.

Please feel free to contact if there is any doubt.

If solves your problem, click on "Accept as solution" / give a kudo.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Chandra,

I just took out the line oRetDims = oDims.GetRetrievableDimensions(oView)

This fixed my problem of Inventor 2018 crashing:

For Each oView In oViews

 ''oRetDims = oDims.GetRetrievableDimensions(oView)

 ''If oRetDims.Count > 0 Then

 Try
   Dim dimsEnum As GeneralDimensionsEnumerator
   dimsEnum = oDims.Retrieve(oView)

 Catch ex As Exception

 End Try

Next

I still believe there is a problem with GetRetrievableDimensions with parts that have 3D annotation added to them.

Hi Dave,

Can you please specify about declaration of oRetDims variable?

Actually, GetRetrievableDimensions(oView) method returns ObjectCollection. So, oRetDims should be declared as ObjectCollection.

Please provide 3d annotation part file, if it is non confidential.

Thanks and regards,

Dim oRetDims As ObjectCollection

Model attached.

Hi Dave,

I can also reproduce crash, if the model contains tolerance feature annotations.

So, I checked with engineering team. It is a known issue.

Thanks and regards,

Ok, thanks Chandra. Is this likely to be fixed soon?
