Thank you so much for these videos, please keep it up, and please always explain more than you think you need to, most people skip over all this stuff, but for us noobs, this is valuable info!
Hi, very interesting videos and a very remakable work, I am new with almost new with inventor, I am facing with a complex animation, can i do with API?
I am glad that these videos have been useful for you. Pretty much everything can be automated using python either with or without inventor API. This the biggest advantage of using python over other languages. Also it provides a great foundation to learn other languages such as C#, VB.net, etc
Thank you so much for the video! Could you explain how to know exactly how to reference an object from the API table? I don't understand why they made the table so weird. According to it I should write like this: ...PartComponentDefinition.PlanarScetches.Add() but of course it doesn't work. And it's driving me crazy. Every time it's a mystery to me how to know what exactly to enter instead of what is specified in the table. For example, that you should not write "PartComponentDefinition" but just "ComponentDefinition" and so on. I hope I have described my problem clearly.
First of all! What a disgrace that you don't have more subscribers or viewers on your channel. Your content is marvellous!!! I think you didn't pick the right starting point for your rectangular in you code. Just my guess why you were so of the mark with your dimensions. Apparently it has as default chosen the rectangular with the centerpoint. Are there any btw any good instruction books on how to learn this you can recommend other than learning Python?
Thank you for this lovely feedback. I was busy with work and family and hence I couldn't focus on my channel. I have a wealth of experience that im willing to share. At 24:00 I choose a centre Point rectangle. This is just a gentle intro to the possibility of marrying python and inventor. There is a lot more we can do than this. I am going to put out regular content and create a group where we can bounce ideas with each other and create something amazing for other engineers. Please bear with me for a week or so and I will start the process. Please keep checking. Thanks once again
@@pythonautomationist24 I see I totally missed out on that at 24:00. However I also noticed when I watched it again that you said that Inventor uses centimetre as measure that's not wrong as per say but as default if you don't use ANSI when you set up a sheet it's set to millimetres instead. Now to the code! When you write "sketch.Sketchlines.AddAsTwoPointCenteredRectangle(tg.CreatePoint2d(0,0),tg.CreatePoint2d(8,3)))" in line 24 and wonder why is it that it comes out with double the seize I was requesting? I think two things happen here 1. Python wants centimetres 2. Inventor says; Okay but I will convert it to millimetres despite my API says different To circumvent this could this be fixed by changing the code to this: sketch.Sketchlines.AddAsTwoPointCenteredRectangle(tg.CreatePoint2d(0,0),tg.CreatePoint2d(2/(8,3)))) or this sketch.Sketchlines.AddAsTwoPointCenteredRectangle(tg.CreatePoint2d(0,0),tg.CreatePoint2d((8/2),(3/2)))) And yes know the feeling with family soaking up your time… three kids keeps my schedule busy

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you found these videos helpful. More to come ! stay tuned!
@@pythonautomationist24 Will all your tutorials be in Python, or will/can you do any in VB?
In VB.net?
Planning to a series in VB.net and C#
@@pythonautomationist24 awesome!
Good Explanation Brother... Keep Going 🎉
Thanks @manohar I am glad you enjoyed the video
Hi, Nice Job. Could you make a video about how to work with SheetMetalComponentDefinition?
Cheers , I am glad you liked the video. Sure no problem I can add that to the list of videos.
or just some snippet of code how to do it@@pythonautomationist24
Hi I am having having a look at it at the moment. Will keep you posted

Thanks for the kind words. It is actually fairly straightforward
I will explain this soon . Thanks

or this

And yes know the feeling with family soaking up your time… three kids keeps my schedule busy
And yes I'm a complete noob when it comes to Python since I'm in the learning phase… just for the record!
