AutoCAD Inventor :: Beveling Inside Surface For Collar?
Nov 12, 2012
What is the technique to camfer or bevel that inside surface for the collar? It is a secondary sketch which was extruded all the way through the collar. All attempts to bevel yeilded an error message saying the sketch was too complicated
I want to form a plate (collar palte around branch (riser) connection, which when is flatened the projected circle will be eliptical. Before Refold I want to cut plugholes for welding. In flat position it looks like a flange /w holes and the middle cut-out is elliptical. I want to refold it to be again in rolled shape.
There are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences.

I have a really large sphere and have put a camera on the inside to see the inside surface. I have used the normal modifier to flip the normals and so have the skin on the inside. Something is going very wrong at this point because I have this ugly shadow line that I cannot get rid of and I also seem to not be able to light this interior, when I use an omni light it makes no difference. Where am I going wrong?
I'm modeling a temperature gauge and would like to have glass over the gauge so the inside is visible. I can easily do this with an assembly, but I'm wanting to do this with a single part. I tried to derive a new part from the assembly, but the transparent part turns solid so nothing inside is visible. Is it possible to do this?
I've include pictures of what I want and what I end up with.

I have created a breakline from a feature line which cuts the triangles of my surface. Is there any way to create a seperate surface from the triangles inside the breakline.
Been messing around with using gaussian in the channels and then applying the texture to something, but this grainy texture keeps sneaking in.
Anyone know how to get rid of the "bumps" in the middle? I made a square, blurred it, messed with the levels a bit, then I contracted the selection to darken the center. Just in case that information might help .
I've tried to create this exact effect, but I'm having no luck recreating it in an acceptable manner. I'm just looking for the glassy/plastic effect, not the actual blueness or background.
how I can add more volume to curved object surface? Say for example I have a plastic cup.You can think of this as cylinder object ,which was the shelled out using the shell tool and then had its base sealed.
Now at certain parts, I would like to increase the thickness and then blend it the rest of the surface(may be chamfer its edges) .
At certain parts on curved surface I would like to add an extra mm, I think if the surface was flat I would just sketch the shape, then extrude it by few mm and smooth the edges by doing a chamfer
But how can this be done on surface that is curved? Or multi curved for edges?
I'm designing a press for a skateboard similar to: Rib Press
I have the board modeled: (see attached)
Now what i want to do is generate those ribs as seen in the picture.
I tried creating a block that intersected with the board and tried to split the rib at the surface, but to no avail. I think the issue has something to do with the curve of the board in two directions, but i can't seem to get it right.
if you are having trouble visualizing what i'm asking about, look at this. I want to be able to figure out the exact shape of those center ribs to print and eventually cut out of wood.
It is not possible forme to add the fil because it is to large 1.8MB how can I poste then I like to know if it is possible to extend the button flat surface diameter ø12.5 up to the shaped surface. The result should be a total solid block whit a surface shaped hole.

I am a beginner when a extrude a feature and select a part surface for new sketch now i want is to offset that surface but i can,t there is + sign with mouse icon and something like fully constrained is written in down the window.
we've just got 3ds Max at work, and I've started with the most basic of projects you could imagine, beveling a text/spline, which repeatedly crashes 3ds Max on adding the Bevel modifier.
I should add that the program seems to work fine with polys and meshes, and we've done some pretty complex work on it with minimum crashes already, it just seems to be something with these splines.
We received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....
I'm developing a VB.NET framework 4.0 that must works with Inventor 2013 and Vault.
My *BIG* problem is to obtain a simply image (bmp, jpeg, whatever you want) of the ActiveDocument in Inventor when the user add the file inside Vault (VaultCheckinTop) - my goal is to create a detail technical pdf report and store it in our database.
I'm able to create ALL (get iProperties, etc) but i cannot take a snapshot of the ActiveDocument.
I've tried both Apprentice way and ClientView way registering the old-know "InventorThumbnailViewLib", without success.
I cannot (and i don't want!!) use the VisualBasic.Compatibility method because it's ultra-deprecated, and i cannot use too the VBA scripting because my application it's create in VB.NET.
replicate in "silent mode" at runtime the "Export to Immage" command of Inventor.I have read all similar post found on the net, without success

My scenario is: VS2K10 - Framework 4.0 - Windows 7 @ 64bit - Inventor 2K13 @ 64bit with Update 2 - last DeveloperTool @ 64bit
I was using "copy components" inside an .iam without any problem. Suddently, when I tried to copy more instances, inventor was blocked and I was not able to copy anymore components. Then I had to close inventor because it seems to be in a bucle.
I know how to do embossing in parts. I know how to work with iparts. I have not found a way to use embossing inside an ipart that will allow me to change the text on each member. We do steel rings and each one of them has the size and pressure rating embossed in it. What I'm trying to achieve is to have the embossing change according to each member automatically
I am trying to draw a series of flow channel (in a row) in a rectangular parallelepiped.
So I sketched a rectangle -> extruded (cut) -> sketched another rectangle -> extruded -> sketched another rectangle inside of one of channel -> extruded, and finally made a flow channel like in attached file.
What I hope to know are :
(1) Is there a way to copy that flow channel? Or should I have to do same repeatedly for tens of flow channel? (2) Is there a way to make a flow channel easily?
My goal is to be able to store any object type (mainly an image jpg/bmp) inside a part that is not accessable through the normal user interface to be used with my addin.
I have been searching around and it seems like GetPrivateStream is the way to go.
Any working example of GetPrivateStream in vb.net and confirm if it actually stores the data inside the part.
I can't find a solution anywhere or any decent referencing material for this. If there is a better method of achieving this?
I have a problem here. I've created a tube & pipe assembly. Now, I want to know whether I can automatically generate "Location to" and "Location From" of my tube assembly. For example, tube A origin from part A goes to part B. So I want to automatically generate those. Is there is a way or do I need to type in manually.
I cannot open anymore an IPT file (an error comes up). I know that the IPT file contains multiple references to other IAM´s and IPT´s via "Derived parts"; is there a tool to show all the references inside an IPT file?
The firm that I currently work for has placed the Content Center inside the Vault. Why would you place the Content Center inside the Vault and not simply on a shared network drive and then have the computed Content Center parts in the Vault? Wouldn't there be any bandwidth issue using this Content Center setup? Is there a better location to place the Vault?
