View 3 Replies View RelatedJust thought I would post this since I didn't see it anywhere else. With Inventor 2009, the views in IDW are automatically set to associative which causes the visibility option for parts/assemblies to be grayed out.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an assembly with subassembly. But for some reason or another, I can't use adaptivity on some parts. It's not a problem to project the geometry from another part. But when I move that part (wich I have projected) the projection on my sketch doesnt move with it. And in Tools>DocumentSettings>Modeling is "Adaptively used in assembly" grayed out (so I'm not able to select it).
The parts where I have this issue are copies of similar parts which are used in other subassembly. I removed adaptively with the previous assembly after taking a copy.

I created a sketch in the IDW & have no way to insert a graphic.I checked multiple files including a new file forma template & cannot get the Image icon to work, it's always grayed out.
Is there an option setting I need to change?

I am trying to click on the "Iproperties" of an assembly but it is grayed out. It is not in a library, it is checked out of the vault, there is no lock icon if I use Iassembly tools (which I just installed to try the unlock.
If I place it in a parent assembly, I can then access the "properties" but it is difficult to do that workaround and I cannot do an update on the mass properties unless I can access the "Iproperties".

I am very new to Autodesk products, I never used any of them before. I just purchased a student license and I downloaded Inventor Professional. This is the 2013 version, 64 bit edition. I also downloaded Vault Basic 2012.
I am trying to learn how to use these tools and one step in this process is to map the working folder in Inventor to Vault so files can be checked in and out, so I created a new vault, added users and groups, and that went without any problem.
Then, in Inventor I log in to this new vault. All the other buttons, (Open, Place, Check In and Check Out) are grayed out at this time. Reading the literature, I got the instructions to click on the Vault ribbon in Inventor, then on Access and "Map Folders". But at this point I cannot proceed because this menu item is grayed out as well.
I am using Autodesk Inventor 2013 and for some reason I cannot access the precise input option. I can find the icon in the draw box, but it is grayed out and not clickable.

Am using Inventor 2013. I have imported some surface models into an IAM. They are not visible in the idw. When I attempted to make them visible by right-clicking on the item in the idw browser, then selecting the "Include all Surfaces" option, the option was grayed out. How can this function be enabled?
Also, can "Include all surfaces" be enabled in advance for all surface models/all views in the idw so that it does not have to be done after creation of each view?
Why is dimension visibility grayed out in the sketch context menu shown in the attached image?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor. When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display. If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear. I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have a flat pattern view of my part and the bended top view of the same part on the same drawing and I want both of the left side of each to be in line. (The right side shortends after the bends occur but the left side is not changed at all)
Work around:
1. Export to autocad and line them up with the osnaps, etc
I know how to sketch per view and project geometry but thats still on each view and when I try to line them up I am using my eye. Is there a better way to line both up even though their on different views?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to fold the attached sheet metal part that is created from an imported ACAD drawing. After cleaning up the sketch I created the face and then created a sketch with the first bend line on it, but when I attempt to flod the part it will not sellect the bend line. I have attempted selecting the line before selecting fold and that does not work. I have placed the sketch both on the part surface and the datum plane. The only line I can get fold to select are the two ends of the part but I don't see how anything could be bent off the end of the part.

I'm using the line tool in a 2d sketch. First, I draw a polygon with the tool. Then, when I come to move one of the lines with the mouse cursor, it detaches from the other lines, and becomes a single floating line on its own.
As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the fly down constraint menu options, but i may have changed another option elsewhere in inventor and not have realised it.
How do you specify an angle for a line while sketching?
There is no command prompt like I've seen in so many examples etc.
