AutoCAD Inventor :: Cut Across Bend Feature

Dec 27, 2013

I'm trying to use the cut across bend feature on a sheet metal part. However, when I check cut across bend, it grays out all of the other cutout options, and only has thickness as the only option. This is perplexing to me, because I can't think of too many times I'd need this option other than when there is more than one thickness of material I need to manipulate the profile onto.

I was to understand that this "cut across bend" is for use similar to the "normal cutout" command in solid edge? Keeps the cut perpendicular to the sheet face in a sheet metal part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Is There A Way To Bend At Assembly

Feb 14, 2012

Under the modify tab in a part file, I can drop down and click "bend part."  We have a bunch of frames made out of stock tubing that are welded together, then bent as a whole.  Is there a way to bend at the assembly?  I want the model to represent the production process.  I don't want to have to bend each tube alone, then reassemble. That would double my parts/part numbers.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Radius On A Bend

Oct 21, 2011

I have been trying to bend a larger radius on a corner bend but i can not seem to be able to . I start out with a face of 46" x 82"  i want to put a 1/2" bend up then a 1/2" bend out to make a z shape i'm using as a material .109 stainless steel and i want to end up with a 1/2" on the inside corners so that when i'm done i can flatten it out to get the proper sheer size for the piece the metal brake i'm using has a 1/2" die in thats why i trying to figure this out is their any way to put this kind of radius on the sheet metal bends.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dual Dimension A Bend

Apr 11, 2013

I cannot figure out how to dual dimension a bend like so:

DIRECTION DEGREES RIMPERIAL [RMETRIC]

e.g. DOWN 90 R1/2"[13]  preferred

or   DOWN 90 R1/2"[R13] okay

 There should be a degree symbol after the 90 in my examples but I can't figure out how to type it here. I can get DOWN 90 R1/2"[DOWN 90 R13] but it's too long.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend Notes On Drawing

Aug 13, 2012

Is there a way to make Inventor automatically add a note, along the bend line, indicating bend direction, number of degrees and bend radius?

Also, in 2013, where are the bend tables located? I've checked the help file, and it's telling me cprogram filesautodeskinventor 2013design data

I followed that path, but I do not have the "design data" folder it's calling for.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Mirror A Bend In 2014

Jun 22, 2013

Inventor 2014 LT / have run into a problem in a throw-away project I"m working on.

A simple example is to create a piece of 3x5x.125 flat bar, add a sketch giving you a bend line and bend the end of it. Now try to mirror the whole thing giving you a 3x10x.125 flat bar bent on both ends.  

FWIW: My project isn't this simple - I know I can just make the FB and bend both ends ... this is an example of mirroring a bend not working.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Cut Across Bend

Dec 20, 2012

I have a sheet metal door with a little bracket that gets welded to the inside lip through a cut-out in the face of the door. (see assembly)

I can't get the cut-out to line up flush with the inside lip of the door, as that is where the brackets gets welded to. the current aseembly is set-up the way I want, but I can't get a flat pattern on the door, becasue of the cut going across the bend.

I have checked off the "cut across bend" in the cut dialogue box, but this leaves a small (~1/32) lip in the cut-out and runs interference in the placement of the bracket.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Can't Move Bend Tags

May 13, 2011

Create a new sheet metal part make it a box of any size add four flanges then create a flat pattern.  Save the file then create a drawing view of the flat pattern.  All well and good so far...  Now create a Table using the flat pattern view as the source, which creates a Bend table just fine. 

Place the table on the sheet and Tags are added to the bend lines which is wonderful and great.  Now try to move a tag.... BZZZZZZ your time is up you can't.  

Yet in your Sheet Metal Annotations in Drawing - Wiki Help page in the Procedures - Create or edit a bend table - Create bend tags section it states: 
 
Tip Drag the bend tag text away from the original position to add a leader to the bend tag. Is this a bug or something not set right on my system?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Find Length Of A Bend

Oct 6, 2011

I have some code that find the length of a bend and it works great until there is a cut operation that passes through the edge of the part and through the bend. When this cut exists the systems recognizes the single bend 2 times which is fineand it should, just that it should also then be able to determine the length of each segment.  It appears to be providing the length of the first segment twice. Any way to get either the segmented lengths or the length of the bend without the cut?  I need a total length and the code below gives wrong data for the one edge length.   the attached file shows what I mean.

Sub Bends()
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Way To Preload Info - Bend Radius

Feb 27, 2012

Is there a way to preload information into Inventor in regards to the break press such as the dies being used or the ones available so the when the computer is deciding a bending radius,it know what tool we have?  

Currently the bend radius is set to "radius", which i am assuming is default, but I can't figure out how to change that either, and depending on the thickness it will change, but like today it said I would need a 1/16th inch radius, but we don't have a 1/16th inch die,it is an 85 degree air bending setup,and has a 4 way die with smaller and bigger openings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edge Bend For Flat Pattern

Jul 31, 2013

Any way of drawing an edge bend on a flat bit of copper so I can flat pattern it for the guys on the shop floor to make.

The problem comes with the edge bend, I have provided a picture of a simple bit of copper with various flat bends and a single edge bend. As the flat pattern shows to the right the edge bend is not flattered, This was drawn using a sketch the profile then using "face" . This is why I assume it does not work in flat pattern.

Is it possible to draw an edge bend with a command to allow it to flat pattern? if so which command and how?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend (fillet) Between Two Lines In 3DSketch

Sep 15, 2013

I generate 3 points, two lines between point 1,2 and 2,3 and make a bend between the two lines. Cannot do it correctly.

On one side the fillet is not trimmed correctly. I think it is a bug in Inventor. Also when I have the sketch I manually cannot make a decent bend/fillet in the 3D sketch I created.
 
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 'add 3d sketchpoints in open partdoc Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument Dim oPartDef As PartComponentDefinition Dim oTG As TransientGeometry oTG = _invApp.TransientGeometry oPartDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument oPartDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition Dim oSketch As Sketch3D oSketch = oPartDef.Sketches3D.Add() Dim sp1(2) As SketchPoint3D Dim rod(1) As SketchLine3D sp1(0) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(0, 0, 10)) sp1(1) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(0, 0, 0)) sp1(2) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(10, 0, 0)) rod(0) = oSketch.SketchLines3D().AddByTwoPoints(sp1(0).Geometry, sp1(1).Geometry) rod(1) = oSketch.SketchLines3D().AddByTwoPoints(sp1(1).Geometry, sp1(2).Geometry) 'bending it oSketch.SketchArcs3D.AddAsBend(rod(0), rod(1), 2.5) End Sub
 
The resulting part-file is added, for who wants to try to get a bend with both sides trimmed correctly.
