AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Hide Dimensions In Sketches
Aug 20, 2012I'm working with a series of 3D sketches. Some sketches must remain visible as reference. While creating the sketches, the dimension call-outs grow too distracting from the linear sketches. Is it possible to hide, or toggle off/on the dimensions while leaving the sketch geometry visible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Visibility In 2D Drawings - Hide Part Of Assembly
Aug 16, 2011I want to be able to hide a part of an assembly in one projected view of the 2d drawing but not all, however when I do so the hidden lines stay hidden lines. They do not change. I know you can change the hidden line properties to make them continuous lines but is there a setting that will allow these lines to change automatically?

Sep 28, 2012I was giving a hand drawn wiring diagram (original.jpg) and it is a rats nest!!
I was asked to re-draw this and put it on our drawing template.
I have the plugs and terminal blocks drawn up and now I am about to attempt to add in the wires, but the sketch is so filled with dimension lines and values, it is going to be a task to try and make sure every line I draw is correct. This would be much easier to do if the dimensions could be turned off as the wires I am drawing will not be constrained.
I don't think there is layers options inside a sketch mode, or a if i start a new sketch I don't think I can project that sketch to the new one?
The only other options I can think of was to delete all dimensions and apply FIX constraint to everything! or
I guess I could have modeled the plugs and blocks in position and added them to the drawing, projected the geometry to a new sketch and added in my wires??
There must be someway to toggle the dimensions??

AutoCad :: Adding Dimensions To Drawings?
Jun 12, 2011I am using it for producing 2D drawings for some simple prototyping.
I am having trouble with two things - Adding dimensions for when I print the image. At the moment I can add dimensions using the constraint tool but I cant seem to find a way to add concise dimensions specifically for printing.
Also is there a feature or a format that I can make 2d images specifically for printing? Perhaps there is a file format?
AutoCad :: Adding Dimensions To Drawings

The problem is when adding either radius dimension or diameter dimension. When adding dimensions to circles the dimension line goes right through the middle of the circle rather than just touching the edge.
AutoCAD LT :: Updating Drawings - Dimensions Changing
Jul 19, 2012I am currently updating company drawings from one template to another. I am using the copy and paste method. What I am noticing is that when I copy the part and the dimension from the original drawing ( all in 3 place dimensioning) to the new template Autocad is changing the dimensions to 4 place dimensions. First question is why is this happening and second question is can it be stopped?

May 19, 2013I am new to inventor and from a Solidworks background so parts are similar to me.
I am also new to my workplace and part of my job is to clean up and produce some of our CAD files. We are missing drawings from design documentation and I have decided to start there.
How do am I able to add Dimensions into .idw files other than the Retrieve dimensions function?
In other words how can I add dimensions at will?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Depth / Height Dimensions In Drawings
Jun 8, 2012DRAWINGS: I need to prepare a plan view of a complex part, which incorporates many different (parallel) heights. In the drawing, all of these faces are parallel to the plane of the drawing itself. There are far to many of them to show their heights using section views. The usual drawing convention in this case is to simply indicate each face on the drawing, and then express its height relative to a reference plane.
Until now, I have been doing this simply by measuring a height from the part, and then indicating it on the drawing by adding leaders and text, which:
1. Is extremely laborious
2. Obviously has no intelligent link to the actual part/drawing
My breadth of knowledge in CAD is not huge, but I know that in Gibbscam, for example, after setting the position of the origin in 3 planes, if I then pass the cursor over any parallel plane in the z direction while pressing alt, I will get the distance of that plane from z=0.
What I want is the possibility in Inventor to select a face in a drawing, which is in the same plane as the drawing, and straight away be given it's height relative to a parallel reference plane. Such a value should then update intelligently on the drawing if I modify that same height on the part.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Rotate Text On Retrieved Dimensions In Drawings
Jan 30, 2012I frequently use tolerance and fits when modelling and retreive them to use them in drawings. The text on these dimensions is always horizontal . Any time I have vertical dimension on drawings (e.g. several diameters in a stepped bore) the horizontal text takes up way too much real estate. e.g. 18.0000 g6 (17.999 17.998)
I would like to align the text to the dimension lines (i.e. text vertical in this case) In Properties Rotate is greyed out. Is there a way to keep my retrieved dims and have them aligned with the dim lines in the drawing?
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Add Reference Brackets To All Dimensions For A List Of Drawings
Apr 2, 2013I already have a code below that will read a bunch of drawing filenames that will go into each drawing, save the drawing, (print the drawing but I have this disabled for now,) close it, then move onto the next one.
What I want to do is add reference brackets around every dimension on each drawing. I have managed to update part list styles before using ilogic but I am not sure if it is possible with dimensions.

Mar 1, 2013I would like to create an effect similar to punching/stamping something in wet sand. Picture this... you have a punch/stamp and it says "Hello". You punch it into the wet sand at the beach and it keeps the form of the punch/stamp. You can see the interior angles/shapes, but not the exterior as it is part of the rest of the beach I want to be able to create that effect in a graphic/drawing.
If you want to look at it another way:
Say you have a glass. You also have a hole in the table to hold the glass. Once in the hole, you see only the very top of it and the inside of the glass... but that which is below the table is not seen. If looked at from above, you can see the interior that is below the table, but not the exterior.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Hide Situation - Missing Geometry
Jun 6, 2012I'm having a recurring issue with using hide situation. Steps are detailed below and an example file is attached.
Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1
Sketched all the geometry.Used hide situation to hide the portion of the fittings that reside within the clamps.Copied the clamps and fitting ends to each end of an elbow.Had an issue with item selection and used the audit command on the drawing. Following this the audit says there is a problem with the program and I should restart.
Restarted the program and any line that was effected by the hide situation is now missing.Attempted to open the backup file and the hide situation lines are also missing.
This has happened multiple times with different drawings, but the effect is always the same, all the hide situation data is now missing and I've lost a significant amount of work. The AM_3 layer created by hide situation is still there, but has no geometry.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Hide Hidden Lines By Block
Mar 2, 2013I"m using AutoCAD Electrical 2013 but this is more of a general CAD question.
I'm working with floor plans from another company, the drawing contains xref for the floor plans and other blocks. I need to label some of our equipment. I'm simply using a DTEXT label inside a rectangle as a block with the text as an atribute.
I'd like to place the label on the floor plan and have it hide anything underneath. I do this with 3D blocks for other work, but I'm looking for a quick and dirty solution.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Hide Command - Cannot Select Anything Until Regeneration Done
Dec 18, 2012We just started using autocad 2013 after many years on autocad 2005. I am working on a 3d model, and whenever I do a "HIDE" command, everything looks OK, but I can't select anything until I do a regen. This was never a problem in 2005. Some of the drawings I work on are quite intense and using the hide command would definitely work with selecting the proper objects. Why can't I select or find endpoints or centers any more after doing a hide?

May 15, 2012I have a drawing with multiple view ports and multiple raster images
I can shut the image frames off with "Imageframe" )(tframes) this works fine But it does not turn off the viewport frames.
I've tried putting the viewport on it's own layer and freezing the layer. This looks OK on the screen, the frames are gone. But the plot preview shows there are no images showing in any viewport.
How can I just turn off the viewport frames so when plotting I can see what's in the viewport.
