nchaplin Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi, I'm new to this so sorry if I am doing this wrong. I am working with Inventor 2011 and I have a series of different parts that I want to present in one .idw file. I have produced .idw files for all the parts individually but I wish to have them all in one .idw . I have tried to copy paste the sheets from all the .idw files and it seems to work fine apart from the labelling (lettering) of my section views (and some positioning of view) it seems when ever I add a new sheet the lettering is followed on from the previous sheet. Is there a way of preventing this so that each sheet starts from a fresh lettering (starting from A-A section in each sheet )? Any help would be great.

gargoyle27 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 have you tried editing the letters themselves? on single sheet idws you can do that, don't see why it would change on a multi-sheet idw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchaplin Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks gargoyle27 yeah you can edit the letters in a multi sheet, but I have about 15 individual sheets with 3-7 sections in each. so I just wondered if there was a default I could alter or a quicker way than changing the lettering one by one. No probs tho I suppose once I have done it I won't have to worry about it again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi, I would say no you cant. We have tried something similar and to the best of our knowledge here and our VAR's it cant be done. Multiple sheets cant even label items that relate to the assembly on the front sheet, but as you can add views to subsequent sheets the sectional information is kept in order.

nchaplin Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks Mechman its done now (the long way- going into each section and changing the letter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
