AutoCAD Inventor :: Attach Animated Camera To Simulated Object
Oct 23, 2011
I have published the result of a dynamic simulation to the studio environment in Inventor 2012, and I would like to fix a camera to a point on the face of a simulated object. The camera target is at a point normal to this face, and its position and rotation need to update automatically with the object's current orientation at each time step to create a "point-of-view" video. The motion is too complex to be approximated by a camera path. The dialog box to define the camera allowed me enter a parameter for the rotation, but it was not stored as a variable; it needed to be manually redefined after each time step.
I think it may be possible to create a macro to redefine the camera's position, target, and rotation between each time step of the rendered animation, but I am not at all familiar with the objects and methods of Inventor's VBA. Would it be feasible to create something like this, or is there a simpler way, such as exporting the result of the simulation to another program like 3d Studio Max?

I've got a chain that runs between two sprockets. In between the sprockets is a slider that needs to be attached to the chain so that the rolling of the chain moves the slider back and forth.Right now the chain just runs straight through the slider, it isn't connected at all. I can't find any way to tell Inventor that this slider is connected to the chain.

Inventor 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.,

Is it possible to affix a point light to an object so it moves with it when you move the object? I know you can simply select both and move 'em together. But I made a fixture with a lot of point lights on it and it's a pain in the ass to try to select everything in order to move it and position it.

I'm trying to retrieve a Camera Object for the "Home View", without setting the view to Home.
I use the "UserInteractionDisabled=true" in a addin to make sure the user doesn't mess with the inventor while my addin is doing some time consuming work.
When documents are open in this mode, the view is set to front. The only way I have found to get the camera for Home View, is to use the GoHome method on the ActiveView, but this is slow since it is running an animation...
Roughly im doing the following:
Inventor.UserInterfaceManager.UserInteractionDisabled = true;Document invDoc = Inventor.Documents.Open("c:\somefile.ipt");View v = invDoc.Views[1];v.GoHome(); //would like to not do this, it is animatingCamera cam = v.Camera;//cam.ViewOrientationType = ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kDefaultViewOrientation; //<- this will fail.. Point eye = cam.Eye; Vector up = cam.UpVector.AsVector();Point target = cam.Target;
Is it possible to get the Camera object for Home with "going" home?

a few things involving cameras. My assignment was to use our plane that we modeled with poly's and animate it on a motion path(used cv curve tool) and have a camera above it follow it. Now I got that down perfect.
But what I don't have a clue on, is how do I attach a camera on the same motion path as the plane and have a camera angle right behind the spinning propeller? Like a cockpit view.

When I merge an animated camera from another scene, the movement setting keys for the camera and target are there, but it appears that animated exposure settings are not. Is there a way to import those with the camera, as well?

I don't know how to phrase it correctly but the 3d camera tracker inside of After Effects will only apply key frames to the null object. This causes the footage to rotate around itself.

So I've been trying to follow some 3d camera tracker tutorials to the tee but I keep having the same problem. When I go to render the video instead of the character staying in a fixed spot it starts to bounce all over the video.
This is the main tutorial I've been trying to follow; [URL]
My error rate is only .73.

I've a character writing on something (it could be paper, wall, etc). Now I'm looking for a way that attaches brush to his hand for interactive writing on that object.
Don't say I have to sync it manually! it's a close up shot and motion captured movement. Indeed it's really complex movement! Imagine you are painting on a sphere with Maya's texture paint tool.

I have used mostly Corel Draw or Photopaint for quite a while in combination with 3d applications to do architectural renderings etc. I do have a question here about the "simulate pressure with Mouse" button in the Pen Settings. I can get my stylus pressure to work but I can't get the "simulate pressure" for the mouse icon to do anything. So my question is does this work and if so how do I get it to work.

For some reason when using the path option in inventor studio for camera animation the camera rolls for no reason?? I have created two helical curve sketches around my product, the outer curve is the path for the camera and the inner curve is the path for the target. Both curves are the same height and have 1 revolution. When i play the camera it works out fine untill it hits 1/4 of the way through and suddenly flips 180 degrees so now the camera is upside down, once it hits 3/4 of the way it flips back again to the correct rotation. If i dont create an inner curve for the target and place the target directly in the centre of my product with no path to follow the camera spins all over the place when it follows the curve.

I have made thousands of sheet metal parts and their associated drawings without issue but this time, I made a part and attempted to make a drawing but dimension lines won't attach to certain geometry in the drawing. It acts like it will until I click the second line for the dimension then it errors, telling me the same error message that comes up when you delete a feature that previously had a dimension.
I also can't place an origin for doing a hole chart, for example. It just turns purple and says it isn't attached even though it clearly is.

I am using "Attach Text to Leader" to add information about ballooned items to the balloon leader. The same information is needed for each balloon leader as shown below.
<COMPANY>, <DESCRIPTION>
<PART NUMBER>
I would like to just copy the fields from the first "Attach to Leader Text" and paste them in the subsequent "Attach to Leader Text" instances, instead of picking the "Type" and "Property" from the pull down lists for each of the three property I want to access, each time I place a "Attach to Leader Text" .
The problem is the fields in the subsequent Attach to Leader Text pasted instances do not automatically link to iProperties on the ballooned item? how to automate this procedure/

I'm trying to mirror an object (wipers). But i can't. Mirror tool not mirrors the animation, just the model, so when i play the animation on the mirrored object, it moves weirdly. Symmetry is nor an option. I'm not using bones or anything, just 3 objects, two with rotation, one with rotation and translation.

I know I can insert a bitmap in a sketch, but there are two limitations:
1) It only works with flat faces, and
2) It is not trimmed with the face edges.
I would like to be able to select one bitmap, one (or more) faces, the direction of projection, and get the bitmap projected/mapped on the face.

One thing is to have the option to rotate and zoom a 3D model in a pdf, which is just great. It's a pity that Inventor Pro does not do this from the animation environment to allow for the export to a 3D animated pdf.. For me, its not enough to be able to rotate and zoom, the model has to be able to animate too. At the moment, the only option to save as an animation is as a movie file from Inventor Publisher. It is also posible to save as an images sequnce which has some uses. There is also the Autodesk own .DXFx version of a 3D interactive invironment but that is only for Windows so it does not work in a Mac and that too does not save as an animated interactive model.
It all come down to Inventor Pro not exporting the opotion to allow Inventor Publisher to export the animation. I have only just got my head round the animation process of Inventor Pro, its just amazing but what good is it when it's only restricted to a movie file. I do not want to send any movie file when I have to spend so much time in post production editing just to optimise the animation or convert it to allow me to send it on... I want to be able to interact with the animation to see all parts moving from any view point.
Is there are way to save a 3D interacive animation from Inventor Pro or Pubilsher as a pdf...

i try to make an animation. I create a cylinder and i want to rotate it by longitudinal axis. i click 'components', select the cylinder and after i click 'position' to select the axis that axis system appears in the right side of the cylinder not in the middle. If i continue whit this settings the cylinder will rotate by a circle not by his longitudinal axis. How can i move that axis sistem in the middle of the cylinder? I can drag it but can't place it exactly in the middle.
