I am using Inventor 2010 Professional Student. I have drawn and extruded on a plane. I need to move this plane to a new measurement (from -45 to -47). When the Edit Dimension box appears, I type the new measurement in, but the plane wont move. I have a lot of construction sitting on this plane, but it is in the wrong spot.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to dimension my features, whether it's a sketch or using the hole feature, to either the middle of my part or to a middle plane I have?
I am wanting a group of tapped holes to be the same from the middle of my part, regardless of what the overall size of the part is. How can I dimension like this?
I have a problem to edit the dimension with autocad 2012. When i try to double click on the dimension text, i have a error message. This command doesn't exit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I place a dimension and have text above and below the dimension line (using X), and then grip edit the dimension text to move it for space/clarity on plans, the text above and below the line will mysteriously move closer to the line. If I have backgrounds applied to the text, which I normally do, the backgrounds will cover the line. Even without the background, it looks odd next to other dimensions that were not grip edited.

The drop down arrow and check mark have disappeared from my Edit Dimension Dialog Box. What are the setting to turn those back on?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSeen this recently? Using Inventor 2012 SP1 on Windows 7, 64 bit. If we go back into a previously created sketch and edit or add a dimension, upon clicking the green check mark to complete the dimension edit, the sketch exits back to the modelling environment, meaning we have to edit the sketch again to continue with other changes. Obviously no big deal if I'm only editing one dimension, but how often does that happen?
This started happening prior to SP1 being installed. We have this happening on multiple computers (all with the same hardware specs) in our office. I don't believe it to be a hardware or driver issue, but I am wondering if it is a process issue. For example, we use project geometry a lot, even projecting from other parts within an assembly (non-adaptively). We also work on SAT file models, rather than geometry initially created from Inventor itself.

Is there any way to set that 'edit dimension' window/box in the sketch environment so that it opens to the length of the parameter being used? All my models for our library items are entirely controlled by Excel sheets and the names of the parameters are often quite lengthy. It's very annoying to have to drag the edit dimension box wider each time and push home or end to see everything.

I have three workplanes. All three were created the same way (offsetting an existing workplane). I want to change the offset dimension. I can on one of the planes, but on the other two, I have to "Redefine Feature". There is no Edit dimension available in the menu.
One plane like this:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Inventor 2013 for a few weeks now and for the life of me I can not work out how to turn off the automatic "Edit dimension when created" .
I do know that there are "Edit dimension when created" checkboxes in both the Edit Dimension window and under Application Options. But everytime I restart Inventor, the program seems to forget that particular custom setting and always switches "Edit dimension when created" back on. So that on the first dimension I create, the Edit Dimension window pops up.
For additional info Inventor remembers many of the other custom settings (e.g. compact tool bar, active button on the Quick Access Toolbar, etc...)
I cannot edit a dimension that I add to a drawing, IV simply ignores my request when I select Edit from the shortcut menu. This is not a retrieved dimension. My only workaround has been to edit the dimension properties in the part file to display as I would like on the drawings.
I've checked the application options, under Drawing tab, I do have "Edit dimension when created" checked, yet IV does not display the edit dialogue box upon initial creation of the dimension.
If I double click a workplane in the browser, the edit dimension dialog comes up half way off screen, does not remember the screen position if I move it, so it has to be repositioned every time. Seems to be tied to the browser position.

Not even sure if you can change to NAD83 (1991) in light.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
