Transfer hole properties to many holes 2019

[GeorgK]

Hello together,

the new hole dialog is great. But Autodesk did only the half job 😞

Is there any possibility like in word (with the brush) to transfer the properties of the holes to many other holes?

Thank you Georg

Hello @GeorgK,

Unfortunately, still Inventor 2019 API or Inventor 2019 product does not support "Format painter".

Thanks and regards,

Hello @chandra.shekar.g,

is it possible to select a hole and then open the dialog and change it to named hole? Is there an option with the api?

Thanks

Georg

@GeorgK,

Can you please provide UI steps to copy/transfer hole properties? also a sample file with holes?

Please make sure that files are non confidential.

Thanks and regards,

@chandra.shekar.g I am looking through the API documentation that's now available here for 2019:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2019/ENU

I am frankly amazed that the "Hole style" option @GeorgK is asking for access to is not (to my eyes) available in the API - have I missed it or is that actually the case? Because if it's missing... Wow, just wow.

Thanks,

Alex.

@GeorgK and @AlexFielder,

Wow, it is amazing feature for users.

Currently, Inventor 2019 API does not support transfer / copy hole configuration from one to another. It would be great if this wish list is added to idea station. Depending on votes, this idea may be considered for implementation in upcoming releases.

Thanks and regards,

Hello @chandra.shekar.g,

the idea was already there:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/copy-hole-properties/idc-p/6897730#M17039

but Autodesk does not implement it. Sometimes I think Autodesk does not understand mechanical engineering and its processes at all.

Cheers

@GeorgK,

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/copy-hole-properties/idc-p/6897730#M17039. idea in this link talks about a option similar to Format painter.

Inventor 2019, creating new Preset will help to copy hole settings from one to another as shown below.

Now, it would be nice to have idea on this at idea station. So that, it may helps for implementation.

Thanks and regards,
