I'm trying to add some material properties to a STP or IGES file I've received from a customer (in Inventor 2011). Is there any way to add a density for example, so I can obtain the mass of the model? I've tried doing it through the iProperties menu but it's not giving me a mass.

Two questions.
Is there a way to add new materials to physical properties?
Is there a cloud feature in Inventor for drawings, or is that something that can only be done in Autocad Mechanical and Mechanical Desktop?
I have recently made a bucket for chain (linked) and was looking to put the chain in the bucket for visual purposes and to see if the capacity of the bucket is correct.
I can get the chain linked together, however when rotated round it passes through another piece of chain.
Is there a way in inventor to tell a part/assembly of it’s physical/mass properties? I know you can make something mild steel and get weight etc, however if not constrained it still passes through as if it’s a ghost.
how I can update the physical properties for a part or assembly, from a drawing? My drawing template is showing the total weight for the current part/assembly, and I would love if Inventor could update this using iLogic, so I don't get the "N/A" value all the time.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some issues with the notation for physical properties in the Inventor 2013 material editor.
Instead of displaying the obvious first choice metric SI notation kg/m^3 or something similar it display a self made? and awkward N*s^2/mm^4. I don't want this notation. How can I change to something more user friendly? It can be a bit hard to distinguish if a material have 0.00000000001 N*s^2/mm^4 or 0.0000000001 N*s^2/mm^4.
The document properties "units" folder have mm, seconds, degree and kilogram as default.
Al my projects, settings and templates use the Metric system.
When i open the material physical properties i see the Imperial System.
How can i change this ?
How do I set a constraint where 2 parts are attached to each other but do not phase through. For example if I have a door in a door frame, how do I add a constraint where the door can swing on it's hinges but get stopped by the door frame.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble changing a property of a solid body in one of my iparts. I have a concrete block which has been created as an ipart and 6 bars running through the concrete block. I am looking to change the material properties of the bars to Alloy Steel but i'm having trouble finding any option to do so. I have changed the material properties within the ipart table to concrete, i'm not sure if this is conflicting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently I am using I-logic and a form. I have an assembly that I am pushing a volume from a part to the main assembly. The volume updates in the part fine. The issue is with the form is not updating when the file parameter updates. If I exit the form and run the rule manually then the form updates. how to update the form at the same time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe recently moved from Inventor 2010 to 2013. Since then we have been having alot of lag problems. One major problem we have found that is giving us lag is our RAM usage. Inventor continually steals more and more ram until its starts to lag out. When I open a large assembly inventor goes from useing 1.2 GB to 4 GB of ram. When I close the assembly the RAM usage stays at 4 GB. If I open another assembly it just builds onto that and can go up to 6 GB before it starts lagging badly. Closing inventor dumps the physical memory.

When I duplicate the Material in the Material Browser all appearance and Physical properties are duplicated too.
So I must accept or assign the new unique names for appearance and Physical purposes of Material.
In my case I need, for example, the same Material with different appearance, for example knurled and regular.
I cannot save the new Material with existing Physical properties name and it makes unwanted copies like Steel(1), Steel(2) in Assets.
After I made a copy I can reassign the Physical properties back to existing but it takes a time of replacing assets and deleting unwanted copies.
Is it possible to make a copy within the same Physical Assets?
I have a .iam and .idw that i copied/designed from vault. The .idw has a sketched symbol that has a text box with the mass property. When update mass is applied the mass property in the text box does not. I ran into this once before and got it to work by re-inserting the symbol into the .idw but I can't get it to work. The orginal that was copied from works fine.

Can I change the description that appears in the properties from content center files ? I want that appear Pa Allen or something like it, but the description is "Hexagon Socket Button Head Screw - Product grade A" from Content Center.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2010, and just gone through the install program to add in content center files. It installed 11 IDCL files and 1 IDZ file. I copied all these files to "C:Documents and Settingsdshupin1My DocumentsinventorContent Center FilesR2010". Now, when I try to open something from my content center, I get a "Failed to open document" error, then another error that the file is not valid for placement.
View 6 Replies View RelatedInventor seems to do lots to allow for simulated appearance textures. However, how does one use actual physical textures, e.g. for a plastic part? I need one surface of the plastic part to be very rough/bumpy, another to be slightly rough/bumpy, and another to remain smooth/untouched.
Let me be forthright and say I have no background here in textures/plastics/molds etc.,
I want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model. I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault. So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings: Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.
I want to know what the best in class practice is? What are others doing? I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have some very large comma delimited ENZ files that I wish to create point clouds from. When I try to read points into a points cloud from this file I get "an error occurred in data processing" after a few seconds.
Since the error occurs early on, I was assuming C3D is getting hung up because of the first row of the file which contains an "x,y,z" header. The text files (around 270MB) are too large to open in wordpad, excel or similar, so I'm not aware of any way to edit or delete this line. To counter this I tried creating a new point file format using "x" as the comment tag (and setting all the other parameters as required. This "parsed" properly when testing on the file, however when I tried to import either as points or into a point cloud I still get the same error as above.
Is the file size/number of points too large for C3D or is it some other problem?

Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three video files. Each has a different frames per second. Each has a different audio format. Each has different bit rates. One has upper field first, one has lower field first.
Im assuming that I cannot simply drop the three files into the time line and produce one output file (obviously with the lowest bit rate and fps).
Do I assume correct? and if so, how does one combine files with vastly different properties to produce one output file?
