AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend Part Doesn't Work With Thread Feature Present
Oct 31, 2012
I've attached an example of a workflow we use to make different instances of products.part1 gets assembled in assembly1 which then gets derived in part2 to receive a bend.We use assembly1 in one place and part2 in another.(this is a simplified example, made with IV2013 SP1.1)
In part1, if you add the thread feature, the "bend part" feature in part2 fails after updating.This also happens if you try to add a "bend part" to part1 AFTER the thread feature, if the bend is present beforehand it does work.
Having the bend before the thread feature in part1 doesn't work with our workflow, because we need the assembly1 to be straight.In short, the thread feature is causing problems with "bend part".
I can't say if this problem was present in previous versions or even in the previous service pack since we don't use this workflow that often, especially with threaded parts, but i hope this can get fixed with a hotfix.

Possible to add a thread feature to a part using iLogic.
Basically in the iLogic form if the user selects "Threaded Rod" the existing Extrusion is updated to reflect a cylinder with a length and diameter specified by the user and then I need to have a Thread Added to the cylinder.

The Hole and thread notes command does nothing in a drawing.
I point to a thread hole, the mouse cursor changes to the right simbol but no note is generated.

There are two cases, that should behave the same, but they don't.
First program works normally. Inventor generates a circular Pattern with the given Part.
' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis of the Assembly
[Code].....
Now, the second case, I try to take the Work Axis from a Part, that is placed in the Assembly,
but Inventor does not generate the Pattern. If I set the Axis visible, or even rename it, it works. But the AddCircularPattern does not work.
' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis from Part, placed in Assembly
[code]....

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.

Is it just me, or did the Drawing View Thread Feature option get switch to default OFF, where it used to be on? Did I do something on accident to make this happen? how I can get it back by default?

Yesterday I tried to make a table-driven I-feature of a few drilling paterns.
I want to use this for drawing steel manifolds. The I-feature is used to insert standard drilling paterns, for example a patern to fit a standard flange.
The only problem is, for the thread I used the thread feature, otherwise it doesn't show up in the I-feature.
But when I make a drawing of a part were this I-feature is used, the specification of the thread doesn't show up when I create a hole table, because in the I-feature, the thread is a separate feature.

At my company we use part numbers as file names for everything. for example, part number 09090P00100000, will be saved as 09090P00100000.ipt and will have a drawing saved as 09090P00100000.idw.
Within the drawing template file, i want to set up an ilogic rule that will check that the part present in the drawing corresponds to the file name of the drawing. This rule will run after saving and will just display a warning if the file names do not correspond.
I just need some code that will get the file name of the part displayed in the drawing. Note that we use iparts so the code must get the member file name and not the factory file name.
Dim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawingDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawingDoc.ActiveSheet

I'm trying to cut across bend in the attached part. Usually this thing works quite good, but for some reason it's not letting me do it. What Am I doing wrong? How can I do it?

I am using Inventor Professional 2013 what im trying to do is create a flat pattern so I can send out to get formed. I need the panel to be 7.75" Width 53.50" Height and 2" Depth. When I click unfold where the 45deg is, it doesnt match up with the bend. Im not sure if its supose to be like that or what lines i need to keep to get the correct mesurments.

Very new to inventor 2012 coming form solid edge way back in the day (1998 to 2008) to autocad 2d. getting ready to move to the inventor and trying to figure out some things. searched videos , training etc but not even sure what to call it.
My questions are:
1. I design stamping dies and I will want to build sections from a stock strip with the outside then adding hole, dowels etc. what is the best work flow for this? It is kinda the middle between top down and bottom up.
2. what is the best work flow for adding counter bore , dowel in the block and then having this tied to the mating block so if I move the location of the holes in the block then move as well?

I'd like to use an "NPT" Hole Dialog thread but it doesn't show up in the Thread type list.But it does show up in the Thread Dialog/Specifications Tab/ Thread type list so it's available.
I definitely have "NPT" in my Thread.xls & I have my Options/Files set to point to the correct Design Data folder.

I can drill a hole as needed, but can't thread a hole at all. Not with the Tapped Hole function when drilling the hole, or after drilling the hole then using the Thread Tool. Inventor will just not let me create threads this way outside of cutting a coil.

I am trying to add a thread class to the thread.xls. (that part is ok)
The thread is M26x2.0
I can't seem to find any information for me to simply plug in the values into the .xls, so I am thinking that I have to crunch some numbers. which is fine. I just want to make sure that this image below is the correct the reference for this task.
using the pitch, I should be able to calculate all my min and max values, but the xls has class column and a tap drill column, how would I determine these values??

Can you delete part of a fillet feature? While still keeping part of it & adding to it.
I have a fillet feature with 2 fillets to a part. One is in the wrong place.The Feature Fillett1 if you edit it, you will see what I mean.
Keep the middle one. Both fillets are 0.25" / Replace the bottom fillet to the top corner.
I would like to keep the Feature in the order it is in, if possible.
I am using Inventor 2012.

I am trying to create a part that has a spherical feature. The spherical feature is "sliced" on the front and back to create a flat surface (see Compound Rest Handle Isometric image). Should I use workplanes to slice the sphere? What is an efficient process the slice the sphere. See Compound Rest Handle Front and Compound Rest Handle Back images and compare to the final result in the Compound Rest Handle Isometric image).

Has seen that even if a work plane, work axis or other work feature is created during a transaction, the screen will still update? The actual features I create using these work features within the same transaction still work just fine.

Is there a way in Inventor to take an assembly feature and basically have it fall out at the part level also? So if you were to open the part up, it would have the cutouts in it.

When I insert a standard 6" square tube into an assembly there are all of the custom shapes and standard structural members to choose from. When I try to put the same tubing into a part file only the custom shapes are visible and no standard parts to choose from.
I can only guess that I have some obscure check box missing. There appears to be no good reason why I would be restricted in part files.

“Associative body copy API Sample” 2013 API help.
The above code in the API help shows how to do an associative or a non-associative copy in an assembly of one part into another part. ..BUT the non-associative copy does not always work correctly....
I have been testing this sample code and notice the following limitations with the lower part entitled “Create a non-associative solid base feature in the second part”...
The code uses the proxy body for the source object but it does not use the proxybody for the target object and therefore the relative positioning is wrong for the nonparametricbasefeature when it is created in the target object if the real target body is in a different place than the targetbodyproxy (e.g. it has been rotated/moved in assembly space).
I notice that if you perform this manually using the “copy object” button the relative positioning is maintained correctly even if both target and source objects have been rotated/moved in the assembly...
