Just upgraded to 2013 about a week ago. Random part files seem to be giving me the same error message "A cyclical constraint dependency has been detected." Some of these parts are ones that worked fine in 2012 and some are ones that I created in 2013 and worked fine for a while, but then started giving me the error later on.

I have been getting this error message alot with 2013. I never got this before with previous versions. I do alot of assemblies that are made of parts that are derived from a main sketch part. The only way to remove the error is by deleting the right part out of the assembly and I can procede. I have read that it has something to do with renaming parts, but I still dont completely understand how I am getting this error. My work flow is the same.

See attached screen shot.
To activate the new position of the assembly of approx 5k instances takes about 5 minutes in IV 2013 when using Drive constraint. The larger the assembly the longer it takes
In IV2011 takes about 10 seconds. I've never seen the "Not responding" sign in Drive constraint window in previous versions. I'm just wondering how can avoid this "New feature" of 2013.
I'm trying to create a few sets of planetary gears and I'm running up against a wall here.
Both sets, for simplicity, need 1:4 ratios which makes the planet and sun gears the same size. I was using 20 teeth for the planets/sun and 60 teeth for the ring which based on my understanding of the ratios, should work. My problem arises when I attempt to get all of these gears(sun, four planets, and the ring) to mesh and rotate.
I can't figure out how to make sets of more than two gears using the Spur Gear tool. When I make the other gears on their own and add them to the system, they don't inherently mesh and pass through each other. Obviously I'm missing something here because I clearly need more than a two gear system.
As a side question, is there a method(Derived Parts, maybe?) through which I can add to a gear made with the Spur Gear tool to create a new part that will still function as a proper gear?
I have a problem fo cycling dependency when I try to do a notch in a particular case.
I have this frame sample. I need to notch each frame parts. I realize 3 notchs, first one between 1 and 2, second one between 3 and 4. This two notch are realized without any problem.
When I try to do the last notch between 5 and 6 I have a cycling dependency error message. I don't understand why and how to solve the problem.
I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine just for some practice (just started using Inventor) and everything was going smoothly until I tried to "animate" it spinning. First, I set up a work plane that goes through the center of the structure, and then I clicked angle constraint "explicit reference vector." After watching several youtube videos, I figured that I should click on the work plane, click on another reference point, and then click another point that would be orthogonal to those two (right?). Well after I choose the first point, Inventor will only allow me to choose the center axis as the second option (which I think should be the third option).

In my line of work, the constraints are fantastic. I do use them a lot for the design and drafting.But, somehow, they are slightly buggy. I wanted to know if there is something I can do to make them better.The problems are:
1- Sometimes I can't add a constraint that I KNOW will not overconstraint and that CAN be added. This happens for all the constraints types. For example, sometimes I have one big block with the plot plan of the factory and I want to make a constraint of one other smaller block (an equipment, for example). The constraint is a simple coincident. The plotplan has several objects constrained to it (blocks, lines, etc.) but the smaller equipment block has no constraint whatsoever. Why doesn't it work?
I have been working for the last couple of hours "copying objects" into my part file. I am creating composites from surface data that exists in other part files. I now cannot save my part which I have renamed TEST.IPT for the purposes of this request. This is a common workflow for me when I am recreating a part from multiple imported CATIA files. (I know it is hard to guess withour providing the actual data.)
Problems encountered while saving the document.
Error(s) detected while writing segment PmDCSegment in database TEST.IPT
Error detected while saving object of type MIxTransactablePartition in TEST.IPT
Error detected while saving object of type MIxPartition in TEST.IPT

I've recently upgraded from AC 2007 on Windows to AC 2013 for MAC. I like all the improvements except for constraints pop up that comes after I make a line or polyline. I have figured out how to temporarily delete them by using DELCONSTRAINT but once I make a new line they return. I would like to permanently turn off the constraints but have not figured out how.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have recently made the switch to Civil 3D for our firm and are running into some issues with intersections. I am getting an error stating that "The primary road for this T-junction will result in a circular dependency with the existing intersections." When trying to make an intersection at the middle intersecting road of the northern road going across the top of the screen in the attached image. The norhtern road is defined as secondary at both endpoints and the intersecting road is defined as primary at the previous intersection. At this intersection the northern road will need to be primary and the intersecting road secondary. I would prefer not to break up my alignments as you lose some of the dynamic nature by doing that and vertical curves can become an issue.

I am trying to create different bend tables for different thickness material. If I have two radii that are the same for different thicknesses it gives me an error message on the second one that it is a duplicate column heading value. The values of the bend table are dependent on the thickness of the material. Why can't I have several different thicknesses with the same radii?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHere in my office we have several pc's running Inventor 2012 and we found out that when a network license is unavailable (the number of licenses is exceeded) then Inventor loses some of its configurations on OPTION window. The fields that are erased and put back to default:
- "General" Tab >> "Load VBA on start-up" is set to false;
- "General" Tab >> "Update physical properties on save" is set to false and "Parts and Assemblies" is unchecked;
- "File" Tab >> "Default VBA project" is set back to default;
- "Contet Center" Tab >> "Location of Libraries" is set to default
- Customized buttons on Ribbonbar loses its icons and we have to recreate them everytime it happens.
have a fix and a new implementation for the new versions to come?
I have an assembly which has components mated to a radial surface, I need to locate the center of a round slot against an axis, I have X Y coordinates, how can I constrain that part to those X Y coordinates?
Attached is a picture of the assembly.
I am currently creating a chain block to be animated later on. But, I do not know how to constraint it.
I have attached a zip file of the .ipt and .iam
Maybe I've just been doing it wrong for the last 5 years, but the Angle constraint is obnoxiously unpredictable. When I constrain a part in an assembly with an angle constraint from the assembly origin plane (or anything else), Inventor always has two solutions; a positive and negative.
Is there something I'm missing here, or is just a design flaw we have to live with?
I am trying to place a tubes cylindrical surface to another tubes cylindrical surface using add constraint. How do I specify which side of the target surface to apply the constraint ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding a transitional constraint between a pin and a surface within an adaptive assembly.
I would like the pin and the surface to be transitional only when the two parts "interfere" with each other.
At the moment with the example attached part A is remaining tangent to part B, restricting the necessary movement of part B to function properly in the mechanism.
In simplified terms I need part B to be able to break free of the "transitional constraint" of part A under certain movement conditions within the mechanism.
This is probably a simple one that I am missing, but how do I get a parallel constraint applied to these two edges.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have noticed what I consider a bug in AI2009. When trying to delete a coincident constraint using the show constraint command, it is impossible to do so. All other constraints I can delete while I am in the "show constraints" dialog box, but not coincident constraints. As soon as I get out of the "Show constraints" command, the yellow dots are still showing and I can then hover over them and they highlight so I can delete them. Is this how it was intended or should I be able to delete them like the others while still in the "show constraints" command?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a really difficult time maintaining my parameters when making changes to the part I've made in the attachment. The control parameters for this part are:
-100 mm distance between 15mm circles
-1 of the 15 mm holes

I am new to inventor but I would also like to be able to set up my constraints correctly. I'm also not sure if my sketches are ideal for this part either. I usually get an error concerning my fillets from the base to the center support beam when I try to change the 100 to 75.
How do you delete a constraint between a point and the center point of a line? (in the sketch environment)

I have the slide block constrained to slide the distance of the base plate and when I reach the end the bolt continues to rotate when, if this was a real part, should stop. How can I get this bolt to stop once the slide block reaches its ending constraint?

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy need is to assembly parts into an assembly by a known position in the assembly. The part has a UCS and I create UCS on the assembly programatically. What I cannot do is to constrain the two UCS. I tried this (Inventor 2013 x64 on W7/W8 64, c++ 2010 by the way DEBUG mode is not working from the IDE):
CAssemblyComponentDefinition compDef = doc.get_ComponentDefinition();
// MOdules UCS
CUserCoordinateSystems coords = compDef.get_UserCoordinateSystems();
CTransientGeometry geom = m_InventorApp.get_TransientGeometry();
CMatrix matrix = geom.CreateMatrix();

Set oPartAxis = oPartOcc.Definition.WorkAxes.Item(3)
in C# because the Definition object has not a WorkAxis instance.
We have an interesting problem after reinstalling the software. We found that there is a time lag between the mouse pointer and the line highlight to indicate we have click the correct entity.
