I am trying to align two components together by their axis as seen in the picture attached. The small mounts are to be mated to the face of the large plate at different radii and the rods connecting the rods are to be aligned along their axis.
I want to align the cylinders together by their axes and mate the mounts to their respective plates. Can axes be aligned with a student license of Inventor and if so, how?
Can i change the direction and orientation of the origin axes in an assembly with some parts?
View 5 Replies View RelatedProblem in my Inventor Fusion: as shown in the attached image, when I try to move a feature in my model, the X axis in the 3D Move/Rotate tool is not parallel with the true X axis of the model. I don't know how it got like that, but I would very much like to change it back.

I recently found an error in my top level assembly which is that the origin axes x & z are pointing in the wrong direction (x-axis points in the negative x direction and the z-axis points in the negative z direction). how to "flip" the origin axes of an assembly?
Additional information: I have a top level lattice assembly that consists of a number of lattices (a part to which components are constrained) with the lattice origin planes constrained flush with the top level lattice assembly origin planes. This top level assembly is used in many other assemblies to constrain entire systems. Re-constraining my lattices correctly inside of the top assembly is infeasible.
I have a problem with aligning the model. At the beginning I could not see drawings in correct position after putting them from assembly window to drawing one( please see the screenshot). I solved it in the drawing mode( I set them straight so I can do engineering drawings), but I am wondering if there is a possibility to set any object in assembly mode horizontally vertically so in the drawing mode it will not show incorrectly after adding them. Also I made a drawing file for Auto Cad mechanical and parts are also set tilted.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Face Robot in SoftImage for the lipsync feature.
I have imported an obj model and it animates well. To get other facial feature animation, I import a c3d mocap file and blend it by setting the weight options for the jaw and lips to zero.
All great, except when I enable rotation and translation to get head motion (rather than just brow and cheeks etc) the head snaps back 180 deg, leaving the neck collar in the original position. The model now has a broken neck.
If I view the c3d 'face markers' in SoftImage or Motionbuilder, it looks like the 'face forward' axis is -Z rather than +Z, and upside down. A 180 deg rotation about X.
How do I fix this? Is there a standard axes setup for c3d files?

View 9 Replies View Relatedissue with my Corridor. It involves the intersection of a main road alignment and a secondary road. Thing is my main road has a 6' shoulder whereas my secondary road doesn't have a shoulder at all. I used the Intersection Wizard to create the Intersection, but the two templates don't align. Without the shoulder the ditches don't line up. I tried drawing a polyline between the two ditches and targeting it and that worked, but then realized that going from 6' shoulder to no shoulder wasn't working either so when I tried to target a polyline from the 6' shoulder to the edge of pavement all kind of stuff happened that didn't make sense to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to create a block that conforms to a curve in AutoCAD 2013?
In this case I want to have 3 lines that will intersect an existing line at 1 meter intervals - which is simple for straight lines, but when the existing line is curved my current block setup just isn't cutting the mustard.
The only thing I'm trying to achieve is to have a block that will place these lines at 1metre gaps (with the distance measured along the line I'm placing it on, and not the shortest distance).
If you can use the ALIGN command to align multiple text objects in the Y-Axis? (or X-Axis as well)
I know about changing the X value of a bunch of text objects to align them that way. I'm just wondering if the ALIGN command will allow you to do something similar?
I want to do this without lisp too. If there are other methods I'm always wanting to learn! I just had a new cad user ask me about the ALIGN command and I couldn't get it to do it.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am trying to attach a live map to the c3d2014.
first i set the projection and then it asks me insertion point.
1)why the map do not come in at the correct location and c3d needs me to specify the incertion point?
2)then it asks the rotation. i thought that all maps are pointing at north. but if i set it at 90 degrees pointing straight to the north a get a litle rotation that becomes very noticeable as i move far from the incertion point.
if the 90degrees is wrong, how can i find the correct rotation to give the c3d?
3) ok. that map is incerted. can i pan , move it ?rotate it ? how ?
Using AutoCAD Architecture 2009. I recently updated my office's rom tags to use the multiline attributes for several properties. A couple of my officemates are getting an errant behaviour that i am unable to replicate.
- sometimes when using a tag, the multi-line attributes move themselves, by alot. up or down, even change the text alignment. This can happen in constructs and in views.You can see the displacement as soon as you start dropping the tag, the block ghost will be all messed up.
- starting a new view from scratch will make the tags behave normally (a constuct that tags properly can result in a view that does not.)
- if tagging the constructs (i, know, i know), copying out the spaces to a new file, tagging, then copying in the geometry will also fix the tags. if i copy ALL the problem persists. If i remove the tags and purge the styles and drawing, the problem persists.
is this a fluke, or is there a file setting of some sort that my mates have (de)activated?
i have two projects that are working without a hitch, and two that are badly misbehaving.
I notice that when copying and pasting objects to another part of the same drawing it does not appear to be possible to get an exact alignment with the grid structure. I have done this with OSNAP switched OFF and with Snap ON but it does not give the desired result, the elements of the copied drawing always being just off the grid and not in true alignment.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have come up with a parabolic curve from a 'Sag Chart' program for calculating wire sag between Utility Poles. I now need to place this curve into my Profile that has the poles laid out in it. I need to make the curve Tangent at each attachment point between two poles. The best I can do as of now is eyeball it in there which will get me the sag distance pretty closly but as any Autocad user knows if it isnt exactly aligned it will drive you nuts. I made a rough sketch of what im trying to do.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMany times when I receive a drawing from an architect, when I go into the layout tab the titleblock info/XREF doesn't line up with the page layout. I would assume it lined up when the architect sent it to me in his software. For years the solution I use is to XREF the architects PDF in the layout and then go to print and change the Print Offset till it looked right in the print preview. Then I would apply it to the layout. I would then take the offsets and apply it to every sheet. This is a very time consuming process and was wondering if there is a better way to make this work and still keep the scales. I was also wondering if there was a way to move and align the layout on the fly in the paperspace.

I have just found out about layer masks wow they are powerful before this I was cutting people from one picture and pasting them into another
What I am trying to do is have me in the same picture twice as 2 different people I know you do this using a layer mask and then using the brushes as I said above
But when I open both images and drag one onto the other how do I line them up exactly the same so when I do use the brush tool and brush away both images match up exactly the same underneath
I am locking the camera down with a tripod and its kept in the same position for both shots but what i have noticed is if you do not line both images up exactly the same you have like a ghost effect if you know what i mean
I was wondering when I align a layer to another layer, if there was a way to do it so that only one layer moves. I.e. in visio when you select your first object, that becomes the Master, and all other objects you click after this will all sync to the master, rather than what seems to happen to me in PS, i.e. both layers are moved a little. I'd like to be able to allow the first layer i click on to be static, and any other layres align to it only. can this be done?
