AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 Make Components Glitch?
May 12, 2011
Multi-body parts, using Make Components.
1) When you click the Browse folder icon to pick an Assembly to insert into, the 'Component Properties' dialog pops up, asking if you want to create a new assembly.
2) Whether you answer yes or no, no Browse Dialog pops up.
3) The path is left at the default of your workspace path. You can manually type in the path and Assembly name if you know it, but no ability to browse to it. It wants to create the new assembly in the default workspace folder.

When creating a break out view on a top level assembly that includes frame generator components, the break out function does not break these parts out. I know it is working because the non-frame generator parts are disappearing and being broken out as you would expect but the frame generated parts seem to be immune to the command. is this a common fault or something wrong with my particular model?

How do I make referenced components from parts and assemblies? (I searched the web and it said that that you can change it in the iProperties by selecting the Reference tick box under the occurance tab - but no such thing exists in Inventor 2011!

We usually create our assemblies and parts by modeling up solid bodies in one part file and using the make components command to create the individual parts and assemblies. I would like to either use properties or parameters in the initial part file to put in project information and have it carry over into the individual parts after using make components. That way the drafter has to put the information into one file and not 100+ when all the part files are made. I would love to do it with text type parameters but unfortunately haven't been able to do this since you can't export them (unless I am missing something). The end goal is to be able to put a parts list on a shop drawing grabbing the assembly but pulling custom information from the parts and trying to minimize the amount of work the user has to do by going in each part and adding the information.

"make components" has worked flawlessly for a few years until today.
I have a part with 47 individual solid bodies. When I select all the bodies and hit the "make components" tool about 2/3 of the bodies deselect and are not included in the list to be sent out to parts. While in the command, I cannot select them in any way. However, I can open one of the derived parts that are created and edit to select one of the bodies that refused to work in the make components command. While this is a workaround im not looking forward to doing this to 30+ parts.

I'm currently using the "Make components" feature to convert solid bodies into parts. This works great, but we use this method to construct angular roof structures, and after the parts have been made the parts have angular relationships to the .ipt files UCS co-ordinates. It would be very useful if I could align the longest edge of the part (Which is a timber truss) with the x axis in the model space and "lay" the plank flat on the X-Y plane.

For example, in the Scream And Shout Remix Video, there's an effect that randomly flashes, like they are a glitching hologram (for lack of better description). Such as in the attached pics....
How would I go about making something similar in Paint.Net?

I'm a bit lost on why AE is doing this.
I create a null object and make it a 3d layer. I rotate it 90 degrees on the Y axis and then start rotation the X, and Z axis and they do the exact same thing. whats the deal?

I've got inventor 2011 and for some reason every time I try to add a lip and groove to a drawing it shuts the program down??
I've tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it again but it made no difference.

I'm currently trying to make an automated fence generator with Inventor 2012 driven by iLogic rules.
My model is done now, and my BOM information (description & part number) is set correctly.
Now is my problem some parts are not supposed to be in the BOM at a certain moment.
Example.
If fence_type = 1 Then
Beam-001 = default
Else If fence_type = 2 Then
Beam-001 = reference
Else If fence_type = 3 Then
Beam-001 = reference
End If
But what do write to set BOM status of a part?

My inventor crashed while doing a Save as.. Jpeg, now my coordinate sistem indicator looks bigger than normal (photo 2) and indicators in drawings and modeling enviroments now look bigger and pixelated, (see photo 1 and 3 where im selecting a centerline and dimension respectively).
As you can see, the icons dont dinamcally size according to my zoom, so if youre viewing the dimension from a wide zoom angle, it will get covered completely with the green dots, it was working fine before that crash. (Small and scaling icons with good resolution)
System is an hp z600 workstation, no amount of reboots have worked remedy the issue.

When rotating and viewing sectioned parts I keep having a graphical problem, normally I loose the face the part is sectioned through, leaving a view into the hollow shell of the parts. Other times the problems get worse and random sections become visible. This doesn't happen all the time and both of these problems are solved if you click on the part. I have included a pic of a test piece that hopefully illustrates what I am talking about.
I am running Inventor 2011 SP1, on windows 7 with a Nividia Quadro FX 580 with the latest drivers.

The rotor is composed of cylinder and a solid lofted between two 3D profiles. The attached part file is correct. To reproduce the error- change the "inlet_width" parameter from 12mm to 10mm or less (it is a parameter in "Blade Profile" sketch). On updating the part there will be infinitesimally thin solid layer on outer diameter of the cylinder.
-3D Sketch profile is a projection not from the "Blade Profile" sketch, but from a plane offset from it. This was first attempt at a fix. I suspected the original tangent work plane to intersect the cylinder.
-Creating a new solid body from loft was the only way to avoid errors such as "non-manifold solid".
I will be creating multiple versions of this part and I need to be able to safely adjust the "inlet_width" and "outlet_width" parameters. I will be grateful of any proposed fixes/workarounds to that glitched behaviour.
EDIT: The version is Inventor 2014 Educational.

am using Inventor 2013, and have always had the ribbon undocked and on my 2nd monitor along with the browser bar. However, after a reinstall onto a new PC, i have a glitch - on the Enviroments > Stress Analysis > Display panel, the Adjust Displacement Display drop down bar is unusuable - if i redock the ribbon, it behaves normally, but when undocked, i cant select it, and it seems to be corupt with the letters "ult" in front of the word Adjustable - i've attached a screen dump to show the docked (OK) and undocked (with the error at the bottom) -

I use After Effects CC and am having trouble with the 3D camera tracker. Here is a link to the video where you can see my problem.URL....
The video works fine, until at the end, when the camera moves through the text. When it moves through the text, it starts to "shake" the text. When the camera moves back away from the text, it stops shaking again.

I would like to find out how to fix two components in an assembly relative to each other, and using VBA.
What I want to do is to build the assembly (which consists of two components A and B, and also other components) and then animate the joint in component B. In order to do so, I have to fix A to B so that A moves along with the joint motion. But my problem here is that the attachment of A to B is not definite - it depends on other components in the assembly, so I cannot predefine a constrain between the two.
Is there a way I can easily fix two components relative to each other in an assembly without prior knowledge on how they are positioned relative to each other?
I'm thinking of measuring and then constraining the origins of the two part files in 6DOF, but I'm not sure how i can extract the angle between the axes and then constrain them in the correct way (mating using angles has always been confusing for me).

we are using level of details to suppress few components. when we are trying to take BOM for that level of details. we are getting the suppressed components also. is there any control we can do avoiding that suppressed component. I know if you make the BOM sequesnce to reference that wont come in BOM. but we need that file for other LOD.

I use hinges in my door assemblies and they are basically placed into the assembly each time and become flexible so the doors can operate. The hinges are one size and don't change in any way or shape. What is the best practice for inserting these hinges into my door assemblies?

I made a simple aluminum frame with clear polycarbonate shields. Somehow, when I put it on drawing sheet, some parts behind the polycarbonate are missing. If i make the polycarbonate invisible, the missing parts appear again. This strange phenomenon started today. It didn't happen before, and no parts were missing behind the clear polycarbonate.

How to manage the visibility of components in a particular view?
In attach file,View 2 is a detail view of view 1. On view 2, I want to display only the nozzle (Drain (H):1) and shell (C1306388341:1) component. So I need to set the visibility of the other component to false.When I try to code this, the components of model file of view 1 was updated not the view.
Set ViewDocument = oDetailView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If nozzleName <> ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next
The reference document I set for my code is not the document which contains the view 2. So I need to the actual reference document where view 2 belongs which is in the box of view 2 that contains 5 components.

I would like to know if there is any possibility to replace a component with another one, that has a different internal name. Losing the dependencies would be acceptable.
ReplaceReference and PutLogicalFileNameUsingFull always return the error "wrong parameter".

Why can I not constrain placed objects with three constraints? Anything I place constrains with one constraint then is virtually fixed (without being) and cannot even be moved to allow for further constraining.

I was using "copy components" inside an .iam without any problem. Suddently, when I tried to copy more instances, inventor was blocked and I was not able to copy anymore components. Then I had to close inventor because it seems to be in a bucle.

I have a VBA macro that places selected virtual components into an assembly. I can place virtual components with different part numbers into the assembly with no problem. When I try to place the second instance of a virtual component with the same part number I get an error.
For example: If I place a virtual component with the part number C123A456 into an assembly it shows in the tree as C123A456:1 If I try to place C123A456 again it errors at this line.
'Add selected line as a virtual part
Set oOcc = oOccs.AddVirtual(sPartNumber, oMatrix)
I can place multiple virtual parts if I append -1, -2, -3 etc to the part number but I would like to let Inventor use the :1, :2, :3 to keep track.

I am trying to understand how fixed constraint works using Vector Components. It shows inches input, not ft/lbs. What I am seeing is if I put down 1 in in the Y insert and it shows the X and Z are unconstrained. What I am trying to is put on a fixed constraint to one direction which is Y. When I use 1 in for Y, it looks like it is using force of some kind. How this Vector Components work?

I have a selection of various components in an assembly model in Inventor which I want to use to demote. When I click off these components the selection set is lost. Is there a way that Inventor can remember a selection set of components so that I do not have to re-select all the components again ? Similar to the 'select-previous' command in ACAD ?
