I am trying to animate a mass production plant where objects move along conveyor belts.
When I apply pathdeform modifier to a single object with defined curved spline, there's no problem with the animation.But when I attach multiple objects to form single polygon the deformation path messes up.Objects astray from their initial positions before attaching.
Im a new user of Autodesk Inventor, working in a semi automation company, supplying conveyors and other related customized equipment. how to animate conveyor flow. attached is my file. a box and a conveyor line with straight, curve and spiral path. by self study I learned a lot of animation but this time I'm having problem because it's a combination of curve and spiral

The creation of sweep/revolve/blend is not available in Mass of Revit 2012.
Because the method of mass is difference comparing to Revit 2008 with Revit 2012.
So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.
some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.
I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.

Until now I have to open every single block and convert all of it to a mass element. This simply takes too long.
Is it possible to write a small script or program which converts all blocks or the selected blocks to mass elements?

Seems like Inventor ignores wires and cables when calculating mass of the whole assy.

Ex. Click Button A and a square will move 10 px left. Click Button B and the same square will move 10 px right. Click Button B three times and the box will move 30 px right.. etc..
Also is there a wiki or faq sheet of all possible actions?
I have this animated menu, when I click one of the buttons the animation to show some information starts, but when I move the mouse, the animation goes straight to the beginning so i can't continue intercting with it, that shouldn't happen, what do you think it is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build a small photo gallery within Edge Animate. I have a symbol which is essentially 10 images or so side by side, and buttons below that are directional arrows left and right. I want to have it set up where when you hover over one of those buttons, it moves the photo slideshow left and right. I havent been able to find the correct code and it is currently inoperable.
Right now, I have this in the BtnRight symbol, which is the arrow to move the slideshow to the right.
sym.$('PhotoTimeline').animate({
left: "+=30px",
}, 20 );

It doesn't work however. Any simple code that I can input into the syntax of the arrow symbols to allow my photo gallery to slide left and right on mouse over?
Designing conveyor or assembly lines in autocad? I know there is Factory layout, but my boss will not pay for the extra softwar. She wants me to get them done with AutoCAD. Im not new to CAD, but she needed me to move to working with line layouts. Also what sites and literature can i study to begin to understand the layout process. Im not talking about 3D tools or part design, its all 2D. Im also looking for the in's and out's of laying out a line for food and bottle product lines. Im thinking the equipment will be a block and possibly being dynamic blocks so that i can lengthen and shorten the parts to fit the space.

Using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2008,
I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!
I'm trying to make an interactive animation where when the user clicks and moves the mouse around an area, the opacity of that part of the layer decreases and the user gets to see the background layer. It's similar to the idea of using a brush to clean a dirty window.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a simplied part of a conveyor. It's not too big yet, just over 7000 occurrences - see attached. Yesterday after about 5 hours I crashed Inventor (2014) and tried again. Eventually I let my PC run through the night and this morning it had completed the task. To save took almost 2 hours, producing an *.IPT of just over 830MB. When I restarted my machine (to free the RAM again) I could not open, getting a serious error.
The old shrinkwraps seemed to work way better. I need to create a "dummy" model which breaks all links to the originals assemblies so no one can tamper with it.
My specs:Inventor Professional 2014, 64 bit edition, I've got an HP Z400 desktop which is a 3.2GHz Processor with 4 cores, 12 GB RAM. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.
I am currently working on a template for a belt conveyor, everything works fine, except for one small detail. I have flip states to relocate the drive. The issues im having is IF the drive is flipped before the width of the table is set, the drive does not end up in the proper place.
I have the mirror lines for the flip states stay centered on the table. I know what needs to be done, which is allow the drives to be stretched only when they are in certain locations. Im just not sure how to do this.
Attached is the file. I am currently using AutoCAD 2009 (this would be much easier with Parametric Constraints) (The block needing work is "Drive Table")

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an animation of a group of objects being assembled, then being placed in a box. once i've assembled each object, how can I move / rotate all objects simultaneously as if one complete object?
When I try the attach command, it removes all previous animation on each individual object.
Is there anyway to animate fading in/out of objects when using this material? I searched and couldn't find something that worked. I tried creating a blend material but that didn't seem to work.
edit: actually blending materials works. i thought the values went from 0 to 1.0. but it's from 0 to 100. but the render time is crazy long. are there any more efficient methods?
I need to animate the hide and unhide of a set of objects, I know I can use the visibility track to do this, but I have two issues with this, one, this will not hide it from the view while animating or looking at it in wireframe, which makes it difficult since I'm doing some previz and I need the object gone from the wireframe view... Two, there is an object (I bought them) that refuses to take the visibility track coming from the master object, and it does not have its own one, so I don't have a clue why it ignores it.
Also know that I can suddenly move the object out of the camera view, but was trying to see if there was something a bit more elegant than this, a script to animate the hide and unhide of a groped object would be the ideal thing, but searching the web for it didn't return anything useful.
Say I have 400 boxes and I want to animate each box to move up and down along the z axis randomly. How would I go about doing that? I assume somehow with the noise modifier, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with motion and not the shape of the object.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm creating an animation of a magic 8 ball rolling towards the screen, getting larger as it comes forward. Now that the animation is complete, I would like to put it on an ease path to make the motnion look more realistic. Unfortunatley, when an easein is set for the 8 ball, it will skew the shapes, and everythign sort of flies off in all directions and then lands back where it should be at the end.
How it looks with an easein during the animation, and how I would like it to look during the animation.
How can I animate the actual path, NOT objects on a path. I am trying to animate on screen as if someone is writing text. Or spelling their name out. I can't figure this out. How to do this using indesign?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn plantation design, especially for ground covers that spread across an area, I have to distinguish each plant by hatch pattern. so they're hatched(due to the twisting shapes, with oh so much pain), and the problem comes in when counting area of each plant. Mind there are altogether hundreds of hatch objects to be counted and sorted into dozens of plant types.
I had counted on data exporting, but then i find that hundreds of hatches simply don't have the area attribute. not a surprise, since hatching process was already problematic enough with the borders.
So I figured the quickest way would be to identify those without this attribute and try to fix up their borders. but you can't identify them from a data table, not without the handle number. you can't quickselect by absent attributes either. I'm completed at a dead end now.
I know there's the manual way.. but do I really have to spot those hundreds and process their borders one by one?
here's part of the problematic plan: some of the faulty hatch is colored red, but there are many more hidden in plain sight.
I started an animation requiring a multitude of objects and I'm starting to find it difficult to remember which one is which when they are all called "round rect," "rect 2 copy 2," etc. I found it easier to animate if I let them remain as objects rather than symbols, but it has started to become difficult to determine which object I need to animate next. I tried turning them into symbols, but it seems to complicate things more for me.
