In my assembly drawing I have been able to add random dimensions anywhere I needed them.
Except for the detail view. How come I can select the two end points for my dimension, but it wont let me place it?

I'd like to add a dimension from a feature in a detail view to a feature outside the view, exactly like the dimension circled in red below. I cannot find any information on how to do this, but I suspect it is pretty easy!

Sometimes when I try to create a detail view of an isometric view in my IDW, the "detail full boundary" option is greyed out? Why would this be? If I try an ortho view it works fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a detail view of a groove on a cylinder. I want to dimension a diameter in which I only see one side, the other side is not in the detail view.
From some posts I see that I should auto insert a centerline then dimension from centerline then choose options "dimension linear".
First when I try to auto insert centerlines it does not insert the centerline for me. Perhaps because my detail is smaller. If I make the field for the detail view larger it makes a centerline, but I dont want to do that. I have tried making a sketch of the other side and the centerline. When I dimension from here I do not have the right click option of dimension linear, instead only arrowhead options.

is it possible to create a detail view of an Iso view which is created with perspective camera? I tried it but it does not seem to let you have the option of selecting the connection line or detail view boundary?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFirst, is there a way to add a new part to an assembly and it only be added to the active Level of Detail (and the Master, of course)? It is adding a significant source of potential error when adding a part to an assembly when you have to make sure to go back and change the status of a newly added part in each Level of Detail.
Secondly, is there a better solution than using Levels of Detail in the first place? We typically have assemblies that are in a few stages: 1) an empty shell 2) shell with ballast 3) shell with ballast and fill material. I have started using Levels of Detail to suppress components at each of those 3 stages because it is important that we have accurate weights for each stage. Our assemblies are not terribly large so memory usage is not really a problem, and I have read on Levels of Detail it is usually useful in a memory management situation.
Lastly, is there any good reason to not be able to save a Level of Detail when there is a positional representation active?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a property or method that can control the location of the name for a detail view? For example the picture below. Detail "B" represents the api default. Detail "C" representes where I want to put the text. All the properties, aside from "Name" apparently deal with the detail view itself.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a flat pattern with ordinate set dimension, taken detail from one end.
parent view having ordinate dimension from left end and i have taken detail view of right end.
i need detail view dimension with same origin dimension as like parent view.
How can I move a detail view to another sheet in a drawing in 2009? I have only been able to copy the detail and it's parent view to the 2nd sheet and then suppress the parent view on the 2nd sheet so that only the detail view is visible.
However, when I go back to the first sheet and try to suppress or delete the detail view, it also deletes / suppresses the detail circle from the parent view.
I know I'v done this before but I'm having trouble getting a detail view to just show the jagged cut lines where it crosses the part only & not all the way around it. See images attached to show the problem.

While creating a drawing yesterday, I noticed that the RMB Options to modify a detail view has disappeared?
- Cutout Shape
- Detail Boundry
- Connecting line
I am not sure how long this has been like this, What I do know is that I had a corrupt model, (Broke when it migrated to 2013) I restored from backup and tested the model in ver 2012.
I can not say if bouncing between the two versions of inventor has perhaps changed something, or of this option has not been available for a while?

How does one remove the boundary box for a detail view? I don't want it sitting in my main view, as this is a conveyor and it's very obvious at to where the drive arrangement is sited. See attached.
I'm guessing changing it to another layer that does not print is one option, or?
I've created a view in my presentation file and tweaked all my components to where I want them. How do I change the level of detail associated with a particular explosion already created? I know when you create the view you can select which representation and level of detail to use, but how do you change these after the exploded view is created?

I've had this issue now for quite a while. Seems to only happen with wires that are made in the Cable & Harness module. And the odd part is that not all wires do this and not all View Rep/Detail views do this.
Regardless of wether I have a wire visible or not in a locked View Rep it still shows up in the Detail View on the .idw. And yes, I have the 'associative' check box checked.
I've unchecked the check box, nothing. Rechecked the box, nothing. Updated the views individually, nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can find a method to copy a Design View to a Level of Detatil (DesignViewRepresentation.CopyToLevelOfDetail)
But the opposite way (i.e. LevelOfDetailRepresentation.CopyToDesignView) doesn't seem to exist - it is possible in the GUI.
Will I have to traverse the complete structure and set visibillity one by one to obtain the function then? Or are there a better/faster way to go?
What controls the line weight of the break lines in the detail views? Have tried everything, but still have them shown very thick.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a large assembly that we've been trying to get details views off of and it's taking anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to create each detail view. IDW. We're using LOD and derived assemblies as it's 5000+ parts, but Inventor is simply bogging down and sucking system resources in the creation process. I've used every trick in the book that I know, butIt's taken me all day to get one drawing done.

I am trying to do a detail view on an isometric and i would like a long sausage shape angled with the isometric. the detail views are round or rectangular horizontal, i would even be happy with a rectangle on the piss in line with the isometric.
i tried putting on a sketch of my sausage shape and performing a breakout view but it will only take away the components within the sausage, i want to flip this. I then tried putting a big rectangle on the same sketch in the hope that it would leave the sausage as an island, (much like a hatch) .
I have had to revise a part that someone else created at some earlier date.They used the ordinate dimensions, which works perfectly and looks good.
I have had to add some holes to this part, but can not figure out how to add more dimensions to the existing ones, outside of deleting the dimensions and dimensioning them all over again.
How do I add more ordinate dimensions to the existing?
I am new to inventor and from a Solidworks background so parts are similar to me.
I am also new to my workplace and part of my job is to clean up and produce some of our CAD files. We are missing drawings from design documentation and I have decided to start there.
How do am I able to add Dimensions into .idw files other than the Retrieve dimensions function?
In other words how can I add dimensions at will?
Background: Our company has decided to switch from drafting in AutoCAD to Inventor (which we already use to model) and we have started looking at making our templates intuitive using iProperties, parameters, and functions to reduce manual entry of part information in turn to reduce human error. None of us have any experience coding besides a bit of LISP.
Problem: Perhaps it is a pipe dream, but one thing I would really like resolved is we have no connection between the Parts list information (specifically item number and quantity) on the assembly sheet and the part detail on another sheet. Our custom part detail title block pulls the material information and "Inventory Part Number" from custom iProperties we have set up at the part level, but we still need to reference the parts list in the other sheet and then manually enter the item number and quantity. Is there a way to use the "Inventory Part Number" property (which shows up in the parts list on a different sheet) to populate our custom block?
