easier way to program 45 degree corners on the top flange of two mating parts. We can't bend the ends on so they have to be welded. I am using inventor 2014 professional. Almost all my programming is done in sheet metal.
View 2 RepliesI was just wondering if there is an easier method of getting a 45 degree corner on flanges of 2 different sizes. 1 flange is 1" and the other is .75". I have been cutting the .75" flange down and adding to the face of the 1" flange.
The corner I'm talking about is on the far right of the part.
I am trying to make a toilet paper roller; standard white ones with the spring inside [URL] .
I need to cut the bottom of the cylinder at a 45 degree angle from the center to wall so if the roller was standing, it would be at an angle of 45 degrees to.
I have attatched what I have so far.
I am having trouble with the slicing. I am not sure how to chop the whole cylnder at an angle.
Also how do I remove the yellow lines and the white line with the measurement .1280 (you'll understand when you open the file)
I am trying to make a cut on a 12" D cylinder at a 45 degree angle and i am having a little trouble. I have projected the shape onto the curve and sketched it. Now to finish the cut do i need to scuplt that path or how do I go about doing this.
I provided a screen print to try and and explain it a little batter. The half moon looking sketch is what i am tring to cut out of the cylinder. i have already projected the surface lines on the cylinder, but get stuck at this point
Is there a shortcut to draw a 45 or 90 degree angle from a drawn line on an angle using the pen tool? ie. Rather than just from the x and y axis.
I trace a lot of maps and site plans.
I'm trying to sweep it around shape like this But it won't, it says "The selected path curve is not valid." - so what do I do? (it is polyline) Is there maybe some other way to get this 3D shape fast?

Is there a way to convert those lines into plines, so i could extrude and cut.
I am have a problem. How do you create a cylinder with a flat end on one side and on the other side have it at a 45 degree angle.

I also have set a rotation parameter based on the various roof pitches that we use. The problem is I would like to be able to rotate the sheathing to a 45 degree angle and then stretch along the 45 degree angle. Once I rotate the sheathing the stretch does not follow the rotation angle. I have attached the file.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwrapping a continuous line of text around a 90 degree bend. The third attached image is exactly what I need it to do. That is something I just put together as an example though.
I have some repeating information that I want to wrap around the border of an image. Being that it is repeating information, the text can also look like the first and second image uploaded, where part of the word is cut off. I would prefer this to be minimal though.
So far all I have found in my time searching on this leaves the words distorted.
No matter the complications, this also needs to be scripted. It is not feasible to do this manually as the repeating information is dynamic.

I'd like to orient a picture of a book so that it's on a 45 degree angle and then "cut out" the area around the "book" to that when you view the picture is looks like a book on a 45 degree angle with no area around it. I'm sure GIMP can do that but the question is whether I can put that same photo on a website and have it look like it's a book on a45 degree angle.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been having some issues recently with Sheet Metal parts. I am attempting to make a part that looks like this:
The only way I have been able to do this so far is by doing a contour roll to get the rounded part and then add the flanges on as part of an assembly.
I have attempted to do it as one Sheet Metal piece but I continually run into the problem where I cannot refold the part once I have the flanges.
Here are the steps I have gone through:
1. Created a contour roll to the necessary angle to get my desired dimensions
2. Unfolded the roll
3. Created my hole pattern
4. Folded back the flanges
This is where I got stuck. I attempted to refold the part between the bends but it will not let me do this. If I have one flange, I am able to refold but not when I have 2.
Another problem I have encountered is when I get one flange done, the thickness of it is larger than the rest of the part.

I'm using Inventor 2010 and I have a problem with connecting the sheet metal corners to each other when making round radius flanges. How to connect the corners to each other (even though this is probably not possible in reality). Even better would be if the flat pattern of the sheet metal part would also look proper.
Note that the short edges are 90 deg bent and longer edges are 75 and 105 deg bent. This also makes creating "corner fill" parts a bit tricky.
I am messing around with a part at the moment so if I was to put it up as an .ipt file it would be crucified for not being constrained, dimensioned etc etc.
I am trying to get a 25 and 20mm return fold on the back of a curved panel. No matter what I have tried I cannot figure out how to do this, I manged to get the model bend on it however this will not flatten out in Sheet metal correctly and I will need to send a drawing out in a flattened state.
The folds needed are shown in picture as well as the curved part
They need to go on the outer bend of the plate. If I tell the mmanufacturers to weld it in points along the flange that's ok, I just can't seem to model it to get a final drawing out!
I have couple of problems that I haven't managed yet on my own.
1. How I can get "smooth" bends without those "steps"? See part: Smooth Bend
2. How I can round that Flange's "inside" corner? Just smooth Corner Round like those other corners have. See part: Corner Round
The question is if I have designed a part in sheet metal with multiple flanges and one of my edges follow a specific radius. Is is possible to use contour roll or any other means to create a flange on that edge that will allow me to flatten that out. I cant see it being physically possible putting a bend in there as the material would need to stretch and the bend tool would need to follow that radius.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe last feature of this L-Bracket is a fold. When I create the flat pattern it is only unfolded, not completely flattened. Prior to INV 2009, I could get a wireframe flat pattern with the part still folded. Since then, I have to unfold to get a flat pattern. The only way to show the formed part and flat pattern in IN2012 is to use a derived part with the base component supressed and the base component with the fold supressed.
How to be able to simply flatten this part so I don't have to do extra work with two parts
I was wondering if it is possible to create a flange on a rib of the wing section using sheet metal features. The point is that the flange is bent along the curve in most of the cases.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used a driven contraint in a sketch.
Can that also be done in an assembly?
In one assembly I want to make one angle half of a driven angle.
I received a drawing from a client, which has all the features on a coordinate system, But the drawing is rotated for some reason. Even after rotating the drawing the coordinates are the same as it was prior to rotation. I believe there may be some variables that has been changed for this. If a line is drawn A@100<0 it is drawn vertical instead of horizontal and like wise @100<90 is drawn horizontal instead of vertical.
Attached is the drawing.
I want to make this part that bend 15 degree at 800 mm from bottom. In my attempt.
First, I bend it 15 degree.
And, make flange from Face and upper flange then I stuck with error.
All I want to do is rotate one dimension. I want to leave all the others alone.
When I am editing my drawing, I double click on the dimension and get the diag box and unfortunately the rotate dimension command along with the degree box is grayed out.
