I just installed IV 2011 and I am trying to record an animation in my .ipn file to a .wmv file. When I hit the record icon I give it a .wmv file name, hit save. Choose custom profile and set my bandwidth to (Custom) 500 and my pixel size to 1200 x 900 and hit OK. Then the animation dialogue box comes up and the record button is not depressed like it is supposed to be. I can record it with the default settings, but it looks horrible.
I have tried to record a simple animation sequence in Inventor 2012, I press the record button, select where to save .avi file, click play and it runs the animation. The file appears as an .avi in the saved location however it will not play (file size is 0).
Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 SP2 64-Bit Edition Windows 7 HP Z400, Intel Xeon W3550 3.07GHz 12.0GB RAM, ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL)
When I record an animation in .avi using the Drive Constraint command here's what pops :
-The codec you selected to compress this AVI video stream cannot handle the current screen color depth and/or the graphics frame size. Please try another codec.
-Then I press OK and it records but the AVI file is empty and no video is watchable.
What can I do?
I'm using Autodesk Inventor 2012 ans a windows 7 64bit brand new computer with Nvidia graphic card.
After running a rendering for an animation, I opened up the .wmv file to see that everything was a blur. The anti-alias was set to high, screen resolution to 1024x768, frame rate 25, and 1500 kbps. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
I have exploded my assembly in a presentation file, but I have not been able to record it. I have recorded videos previously, but this time the record button simply does not stay pressed. I have tried recording the video as WMV and as AVI.
So perhaps I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but in previous versions of Maya, I've been able to simply hit F8 and check the '?' icon to be able to go in and individually rotate Local Rotation Axis to be the way I want.
For some reason I cannot find how to do this now in 2011? I've only been able to do them using the auto-tool.
Looking for the steps I need to take to be able to manipulate the local rotation axis individually as I have in the past now?
The view cube in INV2011 has the front view as the front view and the top as the top (I am using XY as top, and XZ as front). When I export to DWF everything gets turned on its side. XY is FRONT (previously TOP), top is upside down view of one of the sides. I've done the make current view home in 2011.
I'm trying to create a two sheet drawing showing the different states of manufacturing for a fabrication that is further machined. The first sheet would be the fabrication and the second sheet would show the final machining. Due to the complexity of the part, cramming everything onto one drawing is not a very good option. I was hoping to use Views or LOD but that won't work. Am I missing something? The part is not suitable for using the weldments option either.
issue I'm having editing some drawings. I have been tasked with editing some drawings that were given to me in .dwg. I can open the files fine in Inventor 2011, but I cannot edit them. Do I need AutoCAD to edit the dwg files?
When I save as DXF, I have to manually go into options on the save tab and click "default DXF configuration," otherwise it exports the file as a ZIP folder. I can't figure out how to save the configuration so I dont have to manually do that everytime, im sure it something simple, as it usually is..
So I have set up a new style for rotate balloon text in Inventor 2011. But I am running into a problem when I pull the balloon away from the view to have a leader it does not stay rotated.
I've been working with Inventor 2011 - Pro and have not had any success with utilizing a bolted connection (blind hole) in an FEA stress analysis. I have reviewed and one suggestion involved a using a bolt placed "as custom" instead of "as standard". It appears however that there is a default setting that I currently have which doesn't allow this as a selection.
My co-worker is working on his first Inventor project and he opened up Inventor 11 this morning and both his panel and browser bar are no where to be seen - yet checked off in the options as visible? What is the problem and how do we fix it. He used it two days ago and everything was fine.
When I have an assembly open and I right click on a part, there is about a 4 to 5 second delay until I get the context menu. The second time that I right click on the same part, the menu comes up almost instantly.
Does not matter if it is a "large" or "small" assembly. See the same lag. Here is a link to a short video [URL]
I have tried using different projects files and disabled the "Quick File Open" in app options. Neither made any difference.
Hardware setting set to "Performance". Using nvidia driver 257.21 and running a GTS 250 card. I have the advantage sub pack #2 installed.
In the attached sample file if you edit the sketch in the first surface feature and change the dimension of 600 to 700, both the patch and loft features fail. It seems to be the curved edge that is the problem in both cases.
I cant see anything wrong with either way of modelling this so assume its a bug.This causes other problems in my real model with parts that reference these types of surfaces falling apart further down stream and is wasting heaps of $$$.
I just installed the student version of Inventor 2011 on my machine. Everything went well but when I double click the inventor icon nothing happens. Autocad mechanical and TruView work fine.
We currently use a Gestetner 3227 B/W printer as a system printer and have experienced consistent print problems while plotting CAD drawings. We now have the opportunity to try to avoid print problems with a new printer.
We currently have Autodesk Inventor 2011 software (but only use the Mechanical Desktop feature for 2D & 3D), a Widows XP operating system and print to 8-1/2 x 11 and 11x17 papers only.
1) Does Autodesk have a list of recommended or compatible "Printers" that I can be directed to?
2) Is there a specific question, feature or requirement that the office manager should ask about the printer to assure compatibility?
So far, when asked if the printers are Autocad compatible, the vendors claim that their printers "should be compatible" or that they need further details about the autodesk product without being able to specify the type of details they require.
I have 2011 and 2012 inv but for some reason my content center in 2011 is empty and when I check everything is in red and not available,it was fine and 2012 is fine,when I check its giving me a location and it ends in 2011 not 2012,I'd tried repair and reinstall.
We modeled parts in inches. We save as copy to an .STL file to get SLA prototypes made. The parts came back 2.54 times bigger than needed. Reason is the default setting for saving as .STL files is Centimeters.... Not sure why Autodesk did this....but yes I understand it's not their fault, we should have checked under options and changed it to inches.....we just assumed that you model in inches, it would save as in inches....See what happens when you assume....
I'm getting this error (see attachment) when I try to open an NX file in Inventor 2011. I've downloaded the file from a data transfer site and I can preview the part in the preview window, but it does not open properly. This is the first time this has happened, as I've converted files before with no problem.
I am trying to install the student version of autodesk inventor 2011, and I'm using the default installation settings. The installation aborts when installing C++ and this is the message I get in the install log:

I have two gears. In the assembly I have them setup to mesh correctly. I can drive the constraint on the pinion and the gear will follow it (some what). I wanted a better video of it, so I went into Studio. Now when I drive the constaint like before on the pinion, the gear goes crazy.

There is a rotational translation constraint set between the pair (= to inverse of gear ratio) that works in the iam, but it is like Studion ignores it. How can I animate this to show the gear mesh?
