AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assembly For Multiple Open Cut Condition?

Jun 5, 2013

I have an open cut area with 8 meter height and a bench of 5 meter for the first 3 berm, on the 4th berm the bench will become 10 meter. Is there any way to build it in assembly? I attached 2 drawings to clarify the problem.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assembly Based On End Condition (not Start Condition)

Feb 28, 2013

I am using Civil3D 2011 and have a need to create an assembly that will take one of three options, depending on the tie-in condition points (e.g., the end of a link, not the beginning). As far as I can tell, Civil3D can discriminate which sub-assembly to choose based on conditions at the link starting point (e.g., if the start point is 2' of fill, it will select sub-assembly A; if the start point is 2' of cut, it will use sub-assembly B, etc.). However, I have a condition where the cut/fill conditions at the assembly start point have little to do with what I want the subsequen sub-assembly to do.

For simplicity's sake, you can imagine my "existing conditions" (2D) section as a flat-bottomed, U-shape with vertical sides (i.e., a trench); it's bottom width can vary.For the time-being, let us consider one side of an assembly in a fill condition only. Imagine that I want to satisfy design constraints but limiting fill quantities is a second priority; in instances when the bottom width is small, I would want the assembly to catch the existing trench with a 2:1 sideslope fill (or in Civil3D speak, a cut, because it would be upwards), so my finished surface is a now a V with the vertical faces above it. That works fine and dandy for a "trench" a few feet wide; however, imagine if that trench were 100s of feet wide - a 2:1 side slope would be a lot of fill for a ditch. So rather, I would want to "embank" the ditch - 2:1 side slope up (cut) to define my ditch XS, a horizontal link over to "embank" it, and then a 2:1 side slope down (fill) to catch the flat-bottom of my trench. So as you see, both situations have the same "Cut/Fill" condition (starting point) but drastically different end results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Ditch Depth In Fill Condition

Feb 2, 2013

I am trying to create a custom subassembly using SAC 2012 that will place a 1' deep ditch at the bottom of the slope in a fill condition.  The trouble I am having is how to hold a consant 1' depth on the backslope and vary the foreslope since the daylight offset and elevation is variable depending on the slope of the existing ground.  I need the attachment point to be the edge of the shoulder so it seems like a loop that varies the foreslope length would be required but loops are not allowed.  I will also have the option to target a profile but I also need the ability to hold a constant ditch depth.

How to model this condition.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Provide Multiple Daylight Subassemblies With One Assembly

Jul 24, 2013

Have a question regarding multiple daylight subassemblies, don't know if it is possible.  So I have an assembly with a trench SA in cut condition and a project to surface in fill condition, I built the corridor with this assembly and most of things look fine.  However, there is a short stretch (in cut condition) of the corridor that I would like to modify such that a trench is not provided.  I know I can create a new assembly with my desire condition, then create a new region and drop that assembly there, but I am wondering if there any other way to achieve my goal without another assembly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Open Multiple Drawing Files Through Sheet Set Manager

Jun 25, 2012

I have been using the sheet set manager with very few problems for years until - you guessed it - I was upgraded to Windows 7 OS v6.1 and Civil3D 2012 IDS.

Up until then, I was able to open layouts in different drawing files through the sheet set manager while in an open file.  Now, I get an error message (see attached) and have to close the file I'm in to open the other. 

I can open files through the regular file open command and have more than one open at the same time, but it takes away the convenience of using the sheet set manager to avoid having to browse to the desired sheet layouts when copyclipping sheet layout drawing elements from one file to another.

I have studied every sheet set system variable to see if that was the problem, but could not find an answer.  I have the same problem in Civil3D 2010. It happens to new and existing sheet sets in both versions and sheet sets made before the Windows update.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating A Rail Sub Assembly In Sub Assembly Composer 2013

Jul 11, 2013

I thought I created a rail sub assembly.

So I created the rail sub assembly everything looks great in sub assembly composer.

Start a new dwg data reference in the rail alignment, Note the rail alignment type is set to rail.

Create an assembly and under the Construction tab for the assembly the Assembly Type is set to Railway. Attach my custom sub assembly to this assembly.

Created a corridor and I get this error: Something wrong with current subassembly: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. 

So I delete my sub assembly attach the Civil 3D Rail Single sub assembly. Re run corridor and everything works fine.

So I promote the alignment change type to centerline. Delete the Rail Single sub assembly put my rail sub assembly back. Rerun the corridor and everything works.

So then I undo everything up to the point of promoting the alignment.

Opened the base file changed the alignment type to centerline.

When I tried to synchronize the references I ended up a broken reference with the following error. Invalid reference. Synchronization failed

Not good we already have plan sheets cut.

where in sub assembly composer were do I define the sub assembly to be for Rail?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Color Multiple Parts In An Assembly?

Oct 14, 2011

I have a large assembly model made of many different parts.  The last thing I want to do is "paint" it so I can make a drawing showing the different colors being used.  My plan is to take the entire assembly and insert it into another assembly then just change the parts to the specific colors.  I was wondering if there was a way to change the colors on multiple parts at once.  Right now I right click the part go to iproperties and then go to occurence and choose the specific color.  I know from using Solidworks that it works the opposite you click the color first and then all the parts that you want to be that color.  It works out a lot quicker.  If I select multiple parts the occurence tab in the properties is greyed out.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Have Multiple Dynamic Simulation States For Assembly

Apr 3, 2012

Is it possible to have multiple dynamic simulation states for an assembly, the same way that the Studio environment can have multiple animations, or do I have to create a separate assembly file for each one?

Also, is it possible to save the animation from my dynamic simulation results for later use in Studio without having to re-run the simulation each time the file is re-opened?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Promotion Of Multiple Instances Of Same Subassembly

Jan 4, 2012

I have an assembly with multiple instances of a subassembly.  I'd like to remove the subassembly and place the subassembly components (i.e. multiple instances) in the main assembly.  When complete, the top assembly would have multiple instances of all the subassembly components.

Component promote seems like the right way to do this.  So, I selected an instance of one of the subassemblies components and promoted it.  That component was promoted, removing it from the subassembly as placing it in my top level assembly.

However, all the other instances of that component disappear (which makes sense since that component is no longer in the subassembly).  Unfortunately, this means I have to assemble and constrain all the other instances that disappeared.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Multiple Parts In Assembly And Update

Feb 7, 2013

Im working on a plastic enclosure, I needed to make a hole for a connector but this hole would cut into both the top and bottom of the enclosure. Normally when I edit parts in an assembly I just double click them, they become transparent and I can do all my edits. Since I need to make a hole that cuts into both parts, I just went to the 3D Model tab started a new sketch and extruded out the cut.

However doing it this way does not reflect the changes when the parts are opened on their own. Is there a way to have these changes trickle down to the part files?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sample Multiple Surfaces For Multiple Alignments

May 18, 2012

I need to figure out a way to sample multiple surfaces for multiple alignments.

Example 1: I am creating cross sections for a river dredge showing the pre-dredge bathymetry, design dredge elevation, and post-dredge bathymetry results. I have 100's of alignments that I need to sample 3 surfaces and display in profile view. Due to the clients requirements for display, using the cross section tools don't work for me, so I have resorted to using a seperate alignment for each cross section.

Example 2: Working in a subdivision with many utility alignments it would save quite a bit of time to be able to choose a group of alignments and sample multiple surfaces in just a few clicks.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Part From Main Assembly In Multiple Subassemblies?

Nov 8, 2013

I've got a machine designed that has a couple hundred parts - originally built as one main assembly (with a number of weldment subassmblies).  The problem is that the BOM is too large to feasibly have on the drawing and still show assembly detail.  I'm trying to avoid a multi-sheet configuration.

So I've grouped certain items and demoted into subassemblies.  The problem is that all the subassemblies are attached to a main frame- and I'd like to show this frame in each of the subassemblies as a reference.  Is there a way to add a "phantom" copy of the framework to each of the subassemblies to that it can be seen? (and the assembler can see how the subassembly is mounted on the frame)  Otherwise all these parts are just floating in space on the subassembly (and constraints are lost on the subs).

I'd like to keep the frame on the top assembly, as it may be customized for future machines, while using the same subassemblies.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Assembly Rule To Multiple BOMQuantity In Parts

Oct 9, 2013

I have used Inventor for quite a while but never for much more than the odd 3D model.

I have recently created templates that allow me to use Inventor to create detailed fabrication drawings rather than relying on AutoCAD. But I have run across a question with regards to the BOM. Let me try and explain my issue.

I currently create assemblies for fabricated items. However, in the complete (or top level assembly) there may be multiple fabricated items (assemblies required). At the moment I create the BOM and manually edit the quantities required to reflect the number of assemblies (and resulting parts) that are required.

In my assembly file I created a parameter called "AssemNo" which is meant to reflect the number of assemblies required. In my part files I created a parameter called "AssemQty". I would insert the following iLogic code for each part in the assembly:

quantity - This.BOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "PartNumber")*AssemNo
Parameter("Part Name:1", "AssemQty") = quantity

This works but it requires me to create that line of code for every part in my assembly. I know an iLogic code can be created to search an assembly and change parameters of all parts (see below as an example to copy Occurence name to iProperties >

' set a reference to the assembly component definintion.
' This assumes an assembly document is open.
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition

'Iterate through all of the occurrences
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oOccurrence In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences
    Dim oName As String
    oName = oOccurrence.Name
    iProperties.Value(oOccurrence.Name, "Project", "Part Number") = oName
    MessageBox.Show(oOccurrence.Name, "iLogic")
Next

Can the two be combined?

Geometry changes seem to propogate quite well, while parameter changes do not...is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?  Generally have to open each individual part and "edit derived part" to force changes to propgate...

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Multiple Frames In A Single Assembly Environment

Jul 3, 2013

Is it possible to create multiple frames in a single assembly environment? (i.e. Frame0001, Frame0002)

The members all lump together in one Frame regardless of when they are created in the workflow.

I know there is a workaround for this by making each frame in its own assembly...but that will be more cumbersome than it is worth in this application.

Right now I have just created folders in the Frame0001 to sort things out, but the folders are not very flexible as far as moving things in and out or reordering...it is a pain.

I've used the Frame generator to create my existing building columns, existing platform columns, and existing handrail. I'll be using the frame generator pretty soon here to build a new platform, which I would love to keep separate from the existing steel.

I suppose I could save the current assembly and insert it into a new one so I can add the new equipment, but I'd rather avoid large subassemblies like that. Seems like it would be a lot easier to just have an option to create Frame0002.
