Who can tell me if Break lines in Inventor 2012 will be constrainable? I mean come on... All the new fancy stuff Inventor gets every year is great but when will the simple things get done?
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to break a dimension line as shown in attached jpg ?
It is possible in AutoCAD I know but is it possible in Inventor ?
I have a part that when I adjust its length additional fabs are needed. Now in my idw for this part I want to secure the break lines on the part at a exact distance from the end / each other to display these fabs. Is there a way to parameterize or set the break lines so they adapt to the change in length and move accordingly?
View 3 Replies View Relateddoes Inventor offers any option to break geometry lines in drawing behind the text (e.g. notes and dimensions)? I tried this in IV 2009 as well as in IV 2011, but the result is the same in both version, shown on first image. The text is sometimes difficult to read when it is crossed with geometry lines.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have made an exploded view and placed it an a drawing. I would like to view inside one of the bodies to show where the exploded internals sit, however when I do a break out of the body the trail lines from the exploded internals also get sectioned. Is there a way to control the sectional properties of a trail line?

I have a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet, I unlock the cells and then right click but the Data Link sub-menu is greyed out and not available. Cannot delete the link in the data link manager becasue it is in use. Had to open the drawing in 2011 and detach the data link. 2008 also detached the link no problem.
How to detach a table link?
Putting in a simple berm crest, and the triangles skip right over a certain section. Swap edge does nothing and adding points seems to make things worse. I have been able to fix this problem before, but only by deleting my surface and then putting all the pieces back in at once. Then it's perfect.
I think part of the problem may be that the "Contour help" I put in at the blue major contours is screwing things up.I have had the same issue when putting in down-slope channels as well.
I have a break line in the drawing that I want to locate within the surface definition , how can I do this?

Is there a command that would break lines at intersections automatically?
I know there is such a command in autocad map 3D, but is there a way to do it in LT? With a macro?
I have attached a picture of the parcels that I like to break at each intersection has an example.
Then I go on to use the OVERKILL command which works very well.
I used the "break" command to split some lines into segments, but now I can not join them again using PEDIT. They are all on the same elevation. What is preventing me from joining them? I've attached the file in question, I'm trying to join the red (metal layer) lines.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Autocad Civil 3D 2012. I created a figure prefix database that our surveyors were familiar when coding in the field. It is a numeric code list. I received a survey last week that had 6 break lines coded in the point file. Only one of the 6 acts as a break line.
All break lines start and stop with the right line work commands but they fail to break crossing triangle legs. I've checked everything I can think of and the setup looks correct . The only difference between the one break line that works and the others is that break line has sequential point numbers while the other break line codes are scattered throughout the point file.
When adding break lines to a surface, a dialog box like appears that asks for weeding factors and supplementing factors. What I would like to know is, how can I change the defaults to reflect the settings needed on my project.
I am using C3D 2009.
a routine that has the option to break vertical or break horizontal, depending on the option, the lines that cross either the horizontal or vertical (again, depending on the option) a specified distance (say .05) on either side of the line you wanted to keep. So if I choose BREAKH, the vertical lines that I choose would break any horizontal lines that cross them. Same applies to BREAKV. Hopefully I communicated clearly enough.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using the default Revit break lines in a few of my plans, and they work great. But when I insert them into an RCP, the masking region does not mask anything. Tried send to front/back, copying, inserting new. My other masking regions will still work as they are supposed to, but this break line does not.

break apart a pice of text to single lines?
I have a wall section that needs to be at 3/4" scale. It doesn't fit on the page but any way to make break lines at the windows and shorten it.

Changing te macro for break ^C^C_break to the macro for break at point ^C^C_break \_f @ doesn't work.
To do it manualy at the command prompt takes to much keyboard entries and mouse clicking.
I am completely new to AutoCAD. I have been given a 2D DXF file with the design of an ion source. I have removed large parts of the design as I only need to electrode shapes.
I need to import the electrodes as a 2D DXF into my code to run simulations with them. However...
The code can read layers, and it searches for a closed loop within a layer and uses that to shape its electrodes. So I have isolated each electrode and saved them.The issue I'm having is the code finds no closed loops. Further investigation let me to the close, fillet, and boundary commands. Which I assumed would do the trick. However after a number of hours I am no closer to my goal.
I have isolated the problem to be linking a semi-circle to 2 lines. Because if I remove the semi-circle and replace with a straight line code will happily detect a closed loop. I have converted the entire thing into 1 polyline, and then to make sure its closed I have used the boundary command to create a polyline outline of the shape.
Even then, it is apparently not a closed loop. I was wondering if there is a glaringly obvious mistake I am making here, or if it comes down to resolution within the code. I'm looking into part 2
I'm using autocad for mac. I've just saved a pdf in illustrator as an autocad dwg and opened it in autocad. It shows up but is not visible in my paperspace.
I've made sure it's on in the viewport. I've even tried to plot from modelspace but the lines don't show up in the plot. They are visible in the modelspace. They have all imported on the same layer, though some are different colour - some of them do show up, but not many.
I'm using Inventor Pro 2011 and I'm trying to break the association of a BOM from it's assembly. My company uses a "next assembly list" on each drawing to show the quantities and information that appear on the BOM in the next level assembly. To achieve this we insert a parts list referencing the next level, then we turn off the visiblity of all the parts except the item we want shown. The problem we've found with this is that we're using some large assemblies and Inventor slows down when it has to reference the large assembly on each drawing. All we really want to show is the single line. If we break the link to the large assembly, we feel that it will speed up the process considerably.

I don't mean a section view but an Isometric view that temporarily removes a part of the wall of an enclosure so you can see what is inside, specifically in a presentation view?

is there a setvar for this or a video card setting or something?
I used to work with older versions of autocad where i just draw a line and extend it by grabbing the vertexes of it. But in 2012 when i draw a line to anothers end point it welds the vertexes and if i want to move it the original line moves strangely with it.
I just want all my lines to be sepperate unless i tell it otherwise...

I could change it directly on the .idw but me and my project leader would like to not go on that road. Our teams are seperated in to two. Ones in charge of modeling & the other is in charge of the presentation. We would like to give, as much as possible, not to much leeway on those in charge of the presentation.
I´m drawing a component which does not fit within the drawing sheet. How can I reduce its space on the sheet, while keeping the dimension equal?? I know I can use a Break, but I really can't suceed into using it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a pattern of iassemblies in an assembly. If I change the member then all instances will change.
is it possible to explode/break a pattern into individual iassemblies?
I think this would be really useful. You can use pattern to layout the assemblies but then break the link to edit them individually. Perhaps to move one slightly, for instance. Or to change a particular member, as I need in this case.
I know that I can suppress specific members and replace with a new member. But this will loose the constraints I have applied to the members of the pattern.
By breaking the pattern there will be no parameters to determine the position of those exploded members, so perhaps they could be automatically grounded until you add new position constraints to them?
