AutoCAD Map 3D :: Automatically Generate A Polyline
Nov 23, 2011I was wondering if there is a way that AutoCAD can automatically generate a polyline (or something similar) that would illustrate the desired direction for a route from linked database information. My taxation/assessment/water department would like a map showing the routes a water meter reader should take according to linked data on parcel rollnumbers. They want an arrow on a line showing a route that should be follwed for each zone/metered area.

Aug 30, 2012We are implementing a new ERP system and we've programmed the configurator in it to build a price for us. We'd like to create a simple 2D drawing for us in AutoCAD based on some of the data from the configurator automatically. Is it possible using AutoCAD LT 2013 or do you need the full version to build something like this? Also, does this sound like it would require a lot of programming in CAD?

Sep 4, 2012We are using iPart - iAssembly workflow with Inv-2013 and Vault Basic 2013
My question is related to released state of iparts. Currently we are generating/ releasing
all the iparts when new member is added in order to manintain the parent child version relationship
Example : say i have a ipart 41020.ipt and i have members 41020- 001 ~ 008 . I check out the parent
from Vault and add 009 member to it.
Question :
Do I have to generate all and check those in to maintain the version relationship between the child and parent inside
Vault 2013 ?
Or
Only generating 009 will maintain version relationship inside Vault 2013

AutoCad :: Automatically Generate Layers Based On Color?
Oct 10, 2007Is there a way to automatically generate layers based on color? I just downloaded a CAD object that's only got 1 layer but several different colored lines. It would be extremely painstaking if I had to take each and every line and place it on a different layer. It would be much easier if I could tell AutoCAD 2006 to simply split the object up by color and place each one on a different layer.

Apr 29, 2012I am working for a company right now and we design cases. The design process involves creating a rectangle of length and width, extruding it to height and than building a case around it. the sides are 20mm offset from the item itself and the top and bottom are 27mm offset from the item itself.
Is there any way I can avoid having to repeat what im doing over and over every time i create a case. We also have standard latches and handles. The top is also standard being 60mm panel height. There is also standard for spacing between the top panels and bottom panels to allow for tongue and groove.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Automatically Showing Dimensions
Aug 8, 2012I just switched from Autocad 2007 to 2013. In 2007, when you move your mouse cursor on a vertice of a selected geometry, a rectangle for example, Autocad will automatically display the dimension of the geometry. This features seems to have been turned off by default. How to turn it back on?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Generate Files For Multiple IParts

This is easily done by right-clicking the iPart and clicking on Generating Files. But I can't manage to generate all the ipt files in one go. I noticed that I can hold Ctrl and selecting all the iPart, but I would prefer not spending a couple of hours selecting 1200 iPart.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Generate Derived Part
Sep 12, 2012I have created a very simple yet effective tool for starting a new manifold assembly using iLogic. The rules and windows essentially fill out the size of the block, material type, description, project and part number.
Below I have a hydraulic manifold I have designed and from that I created the final .ipt of the internals. The way I did this (which may not be the best method) was to create a second .ipt matching the LxWxH of the original manifold, next I inserted and aligned both into another .iam file, lastly I derived a third .ipt from a subtraction resulting in the third image below. This is a bit time consuming to create, but has been very useful in error checking our designs. I would like to see if iLogic is capable of allowing me to automate this so we can easily create these internal flowpath .ipt's for every manifold we design.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Generate Models Of Units
Jul 5, 2012So what I am doing is using iLogic to generate models of units customers submit orders for. Using a form you select your components/options and it auto generates the model itself. The problem I am having is when it comes to saving out that file. Once it is saved out I obviously don't want it to change it any way so that way I know exactly what that customer was shipped. I am utilizing skeletons in these assemblies and sub assemblies. A problem I did notice is however I save my main "template" if i re-open a customer generated order. The skeletons shift back to whatever state is in the main template hence moving components to places they shouldn't be and creating a mess. Is there a way to save out or another way to avoid this issue.

Sep 18, 2012I am trying to model a forged steel table base so I can create some tooling to reproduce it. See the attached photo of the base. I am able to sweep along my 3D projected sketch path but there is a twist at the center that I believe I need a guide rail to control. I have tried to draw a rail but it fails.
I suspect I am not drawing my guide rail correctly as to create the slight twist. I was considering drawing a shallow helix along the 3d sweep path but not sure that this is the best direction to head next. I have attached the .ipt with the sweep (without guide path being used).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List - Generate Total Length In Inches
Jun 7, 2013I use my parts list to generate a total length in inches of the same part that is used in several places in my assemblies. I then export it to excel, convert it to feet, etc. I've been doing this for some time now and it works great. The problem I am now having is I forgot how I got this magic to happen and I need to set another part to appear with it's total length in the list. From what I remember I set the QTY column in the parts list to show the length of the part and then I set the parts list to merge the same parts. For the life of me I can't remember how I did this. How this is done correctly?
All of the parts are created by the frame generator if this matters.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern Of Part With Flanges And Fold Won't Generate
Sep 26, 2011The 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
