AutoCAD 2010 :: Getting 2D Projection Of Out-of-plane Sketch

May 21, 2013

I have drawn a 2D sketch (of a wind turbine) and I found it easier to just rotate the drawings of the blades out of the plane of the drawing to get something that looks like an isometric view. So now some parts of my drawing are in plane, and other parts are turned out of plane by like 35 degrees, so looking at it from the top it looks like an isometric view of the turbine.

However, now I have a task to have the same drawing but with gradient filling in the turbine itself as well as the air and water in the background. The easiest way to do this would be to somehow get a 2D projection drawing of what I see when I look at the plane from the top. (see attached picture)

So what I need is to get what is called "Top View" in the picture with all lines being in-plane from the out-of-plane drawing shown on the right.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend Line Projection On A Sketch

Feb 4, 2013

Just by selecting a bend line on the flat pattern, I'd like to draw only 2 lines on a sketch (without any border projection, only points) at both ends of the bend line.

I'm sure it can be done via VBA, but don't know how to start for it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: New Sketch On XZ Plane

Sep 17, 2003

When I pick the XZ plane to create a new sketch, then Look At it, the red origin indicator is pointing left, meaning I'm on the back side. How did I get over on the front side. Something with flip axis or something like that?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Consumed Work Plane In Sketch 3D

I use AddByNormalToCurve method to create a work plane in a sketch 3D. Is it possible to make new workplane object to be consumed by the parent Sketch3D (Workplane.Consumed = True) as it is possible in UI in Edit mode ?

My sample code in IV 2008:

Public Sub WorkPlane_Test()
'reference to the transient geometry

Set oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry
'reference to the component definition

AutoCAD Inventor :: Surface Not Allowing New Sketch Plane

AutoCAD 2010 :: 3D Parallel Projection

Oct 21, 2011

Some time ago i used express tools to save my sysvar settings and now when i read the old settings back in, i'm put in 3D parallel project mode. I know this because i have the background color for this mode set to something other than the background color for 2D model space. But now i can't get out of 3d parallel projection mode.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator Sketch And Plane Visibility

Jan 9, 2013

I added another extrusion profile to my structural shapes library, using the same method as the others a few years ago.  It works, but the new extrusion now shows up with its profile sketch, start and end planes, and driven dimension visible.  The old stuff doesn't (like I would expect).  I have all planes in the published part turned off, not marked for export, etc., just like in the old ones.   How do I turn this off?  Inventor 2012 SP2.

When I open the extrusion separately, the work features to not display.  But, the it's also shown as the "default" color not as material.  Why does it default to "default" not "as material" like everything else?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Starting Sketch In XZ Plane Screen Rotates 180

Oct 1, 2012

When ever I start a new sketch in the xz plane (viewing from top down) my sketch rotates 180 degrees. Not a huge deal to rotate it back, but not everything I create is symetrical and when I go to draw the part, I want a certain ISO view to be default. I know you can insert/obtain any view into the drawing but is there an option to stop this rotation or maybe I am not setting up something correctly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy And Paste Sketch In Same Plane Through ILogic

May 1, 2013

Here I attached my model view it's just for reference here iam using rectangular pattern and simple ilogic code .Using rectangular pattern we will get all same sizes of boxes but i want to change different different sizes and positions. my idea is without using pattern just draw one rectangular through parameter. Select no. of compartments automatically copy and paste that rectangular in same sketch plane and ask sizes and positions dimensions.

It's possible through ilogic?

In my panel bar options are:

Hight of panel- Hight of panel

width1- Width of panel

Depth1-Depth of panel

com1- no.of Compartments

hIN- No.of Hinges

AutoCAD Inventor :: Offset 3D Sketch In Direction Normal To A Plane?

May 17, 2013

I would like to be able to offset a 3D Sketch in a direction normal to a plane.  In the attached image, I have drawn in an orange color the direction I would like the 3DSketch to offset.The white line is where the new sketch would be.

The yellow surface is the 3dsketch extend to a plane

There might be some tools in Inventor that will do what I am trying, but I have not found it yet.  I have tried extend surface, but that will not take it the direction I want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: New Part Default Sketch On Y-z Plane Can't Draw

Aug 13, 2012

Working on setting up 2013 for our department.  By default we use the application option - Part Tab - of creating a sketch on the x-z plane upon new part creation.  Now this actually works, problem is you can't draw on it, or you can't see what you are drawing.  If you exit out of the sketch and start a new one then it works.  I have found that if you switch the setting to the y-z plane is does the same thing.  Switching it to no new sketch or the x-y plane and it works fine. Tying to determine if it's actually a bug in inventor or if it's just something with what I am doing or our template files.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Replacement For X-sketch

Nov 14, 2012

I used a program back w/autocad 2002 called X-Sketch which allowed me to take hardline autocad drawings and alter them so that drawing had a "wavier", more hand drawn line quality to it. Essentially you could adjust the program to distort the lines on a drawing to whatever extent you wanted.

I believe X-Sketch went out of business a number of years ago, at least I can't find it.. Any replacement add on program to autocad program that can replicate this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cutting Solid Into Two With Non-planar Cutting Plane

Aug 2, 2012

Is there a way to cut a solid into two pieces using a non-planar cutting plane?  I have been tasked with calculating the volume of concrete damage in a chute block.  I have a sketch of the damage on the chute block.  I created the chute block as a solid and then drew the damaged area extents using plines.  This created non-planar plines.  Is there a way to get this to work that will allow me to see the volume of the concrete damage?  I need an easy way to do this, there are 50 chute blocks all the same size but with varying degrees of damage

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed

Sep 21, 2011

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Part Sketch Into Drawing Sketch

Sep 20, 2012

How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?

I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations.  Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.

I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist.  I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.

I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way.  I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option.  I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting 3D Sketch To 2D Sketch From IGS File Using Wires?

The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.

The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch
