There is a line (and two big dots) representing EVERY Assembly insert. And I've been trying to figure out how to hide them.
May be they were there because of some link/point code. But I was unable to find and thing.
In the attached screen shot (taken from a print preview), I've circled one of these dots and pointed at one of the lines. I need to get rid of these.
I have to represent a road section with limits of houses or any interference on field. All of thees interferences are poly lines, 3dpoly, lines, etc. Is it possible to have a little mark or something like this in a road section, it will work for me a lot for represent the houses in my sections.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to model the hydrology of a construction site using AutoCAD drawings. All of the lines have elevation data which I can use to create a DEM of the site and model the waterflow. All of the lines except for the lines representing ditches. The ditches are labeled as having elevations of zero feet and are not really ditches at all... just lines.
Naturally this screws up the model quite a bit. I am hoping to replace the lines with ditches that have defined elevations, cross-sections and slopes, but I don't know how to go about doing that.
Im running inventor 2013 and I want to hide a part in one view of an assembly, and for some reason when I go into the browser and try to deselect the visibily it is greyed out. I don't know why it happened.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSometimes I turn various parts (visibility) off in an assembly. If I want to turn them all on again without doing it one at a time or selecting them all individually, I find IV turns everything OFF first, then I have to reselect them all again and turn evrything on. Can it be done in one step instead of two? IV2008SP1

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?

For example; you'd insert the part and you'd pick the two planes that you want to be flush constrained but the 3rd plane you'd constrain yourself.

Using Inventor 2013.
I have an Inventor drawing which contains multiple sheets. One of the sheets is a drawing of the master assembly. Another sheet is a drawing of a part that is in the master assembly. This part shows up multiple times. I'd like to have a text box or something in the part's drawing that I can put: "Quantity: [Quantity]" where [Quantity] is the number of occurances of the part in the master assembly. I've been searching for a while and can't find a way to do this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly that is made up of 3 unique parts ( 5 parts total). These parts and there features are to be laser cut, then assembled and welded along the outer perimeter in the small chamfer. I have designed the parts to have 5/16 holes, which will be later tapped to 3/8"-16 UNC after assembly.
Once these parts are assembled, I don't understand how I can change the holes to reflect this. Meaning I want the parts to be pre-drilled(laser cut) with 5/16 holes, but I want the assembly to then have 3/8-16UNC holes.
The hole command will not let me select the existing hole features in the assembly and add threads. What is the consequence of inserting a 'new' hole with 3/8-16UNC threads over the existing 5/16" holes in the assembly?
Is my workflow incorrect? should I have the parts modeled with the tapped holes and just make a note on the drawing to not tap these holes until assembly? how does that affect the laser cutting?
I want to make an assemby consisting of 3 parts. A crank shaft and a crank pin that screw into threaded holes in a crank disk. How can I insert them and prevent them rotating in their holes but still allow the whole assembly to rotate around the axis of the shaft? Also how could I lock a flywheel on to the shaft so that whole assembly can rotate togeather?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
what Im looking and seen it around other places is like an outer glow but instead of a glow its dots where the dots closest to the object are large and close together and as they move out they get smaller and further apart...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a finished corridor, but now I need to add marked points to label a few key grade breaks in my cross sections. When I attempt to add the marked points on some of my sub-assemblies it gives me the error that the sub-assembly is not part of the assembly. I can right click the sub-assemly and choose "Add to Assembly" but when I rebuild the corridor it strips all the sub-assembly data from my assembly and leaves me with essentially a null assembly for the range.

Can I use the description key set to not show point parameters with particular characters?I use the Linework Code Set codes to control survey figures and so the linework codes show up in the Raw descriptions. That's great for editing survey data.
But when the survey is passed on to the designers I want to show a full description that does not show the linework codes.For example when surveying a road culvert I will code the first point,
"CULV B 32 600" - (CULV is the code for culvert, B is to begin the figure, 32 is the culvert number and 600 is the diameter)
The second point is coded, "CULV 32 600"I want to show full descriptions of "CULV 32 600" for both points, ie I don't want a parameter that is a "B" to show up.Can I use the description key set to not show point parameters with particular characters?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tried multiple types of hide boundaries,etc. for this, and cant find a solution. I'm sure it is very simple, but..
I need a corridor that transitions from 2% sideslope to 0% sideslope. This transition occurs in a horizontal AND vertical curve. I understand I could use EOP alignments, profiles, etc to achieve this. I dont have the time or civil3D knowledge to figure this out on a friday afternoon...
So... my plan is to not apply the transition, and just hide the contours in the transition area and sketch them in by hand. I want to corridor surface to remain so that when other profiles are created from this surface it is still somewhat accurate (instead of removing this portion of corridor surface, and adding simple contours to the surface). I just want the surface hidden for +/- 50'.
Everything I have tried hides the surface everywhere, including new profiles from the surface.
I have a rather large surface and am trying to add hide boundaries to the existing houses/Buildings footprints however whenever I do my whole surface disappears.
