AutoCAD Inventor :: Break Link On Shrinkwrap - 2014?
Jan 3, 2014
I am experiencing trouble with the simplify function. When I create a shrinkwrap / simplified part, it always keeps the link to the original assembly. Therefore I cannot move the shrinkwrap to other folders or treat it as an individual ipt file in any way. When I try to break the link I can't, the "link" button is greyed out:
This topic has been discussed for an older version of inventor here, but the solution does not work for me: [URL] .......

I have a shrinkwrap part of a conveyor that I want to use in a plant layout. I have it just the way I want it now. However, I want to do a break link on it so I can copy it off to another project workspace. When I do a break link my derive settings change to some funky default and my model gets all messed up. The one that's giving me the biggest problem is the remove parts by size. On my long conveyors its removing my motor, reducer, drive chain guards, support legs, and other miscellanea that I need shown in my layout.
how I want it with the link unbroken.Here it is after I break link with nothing else changed: URL....

see attached files. Have 40+ so far like this and can only seem to fix them by delinking derived sketches and then selecting sketch edit from design doctor and deleting geometry from unlinked old version of derived sketch presented. Have uninstalled SP1 and hope problem will not keep happening.
I would be interested to recover P15.ipt from its sick state. Have not had problem like this since I installed Inventor 2013 and lost a lot of work that could not be recovered until service pack was released.

I am trying to shrinkwrap an assembly to send out to a potential client, without giving away all our IP. The assembly has decals on one or two of the components which are key to identifying our product. I have yet to find a way of shrinkwrapping it that doesn't loose the decal... which check box I've failed to check/deselect, or is there a better way?

I have a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet, I unlock the cells and then right click but the Data Link sub-menu is greyed out and not available. Cannot delete the link in the data link manager becasue it is in use. Had to open the drawing in 2011 and detach the data link. 2008 also detached the link no problem.
How to detach a table link?

Is there any way to create a rule to create a substitute on my weldment files?
what I need is something like:
If this document file type is weldment then create shrinkwrap substitute, go to the file (substitute) read the custom iproperty "area" and write to this document custom iproperty "area for sand-blasting" activate LOD Master then delete substitute LOD.
The propose is for purchase department to know the area of the assembly (only the area of visible surfaces).

I have an issue with Shrinkwrap/Derive when using a Positional Rep.Open the derived part and try to change it to the "work" positional rep.Everything appears to work fine in the "master" rep.I have this problem in a few of my assemblies and was able to track it down to the positional rep usage in the derived part.

If I right click on a symbol instance, I get a menu item, "Break link to symbol." How can I do that same thing in Javascript?
1) That is, how do I use Javascript to break the link between a SymbolItem and the Symbol it represents? (i.e. without deleting the Symbol?)
2) Once the link is broken, how do I locate the Layer that was created when the link was broken? That is, once the link is broken, it is no longer a SymbolItem; it becomes a Layer instead. How do I locate that Layer?
3) How do I convert the Layer to a GroupItem?

I have created a symbol in CorelDraw X5 on a Mac using parallels.
The symbol is on a layer which is not locked, and the object which has become a symbol was grouped before I made it into a symbol. The boundary marks changed from black to blue.When I try to select Edit/Symbol/Break link, the Break link command is greyed out.

Is it possible to change te Break command permanently in the Break at Point command?I never use break, only break at point.
Changing te macro for break ^C^C_break to the macro for break at point ^C^C_break \_f @ doesn't work.
To do it manualy at the command prompt takes to much keyboard entries and mouse clicking.

I'm using Inventor Pro 2011 and I'm trying to break the association of a BOM from it's assembly. My company uses a "next assembly list" on each drawing to show the quantities and information that appear on the BOM in the next level assembly. To achieve this we insert a parts list referencing the next level, then we turn off the visiblity of all the parts except the item we want shown. The problem we've found with this is that we're using some large assemblies and Inventor slows down when it has to reference the large assembly on each drawing. All we really want to show is the single line. If we break the link to the large assembly, we feel that it will speed up the process considerably.

Is there anyway to use the break-out command in an IDW to show something inside an enclosure that you normally would not see? I don't mean a section view but an Isometric view that temporarily removes a part of the wall of an enclosure so you can see what is inside, specifically in a presentation view?

Is it possible to break my bolted connection, so that i can change the information given by inventor in the BOM? Its always grayed out and i can`t seems to find a way to make it "ungrayed".
I could change it directly on the .idw but me and my project leader would like to not go on that road. Our teams are seperated in to two. Ones in charge of modeling & the other is in charge of the presentation. We would like to give, as much as possible, not to much leeway on those in charge of the presentation.

I´m drawing a component which does not fit within the drawing sheet. How can I reduce its space on the sheet, while keeping the dimension equal?? I know I can use a Break, but I really can't suceed into using it.

I have a pattern of iassemblies in an assembly. If I change the member then all instances will change.
is it possible to explode/break a pattern into individual iassemblies?
I think this would be really useful. You can use pattern to layout the assemblies but then break the link to edit them individually. Perhaps to move one slightly, for instance. Or to change a particular member, as I need in this case.
I know that I can suppress specific members and replace with a new member. But this will loose the constraints I have applied to the members of the pattern.
By breaking the pattern there will be no parameters to determine the position of those exploded members, so perhaps they could be automatically grounded until you add new position constraints to them?

I'd like to be able to create break-out views, somewhat like in the picture below.
Is this possible directly in Inventor? That is, without having to carve out elaborate geometry in the parts and assign red color to the jagged edges.
I can achieve some of what I want in a drawing (Break-out in a view, then making an isometric projected view from that first view with the break-out), but it's still not exactly what I want.

is there any way to control which areas of my part or assembly that I want to use the View Break on? Currently I'm not aware of any options. It wants to break through the entire assembly or part view.
Basically I have a coworker who designs his electrical harnesses in Inventor. Some of the wiring branches off the main harness are longer than others and he would like to break only that specific branch of wiring, not the entire horizontal or vertical area of the view.

I have an assembly drawing which requires a break in the drawing view due to its height. The drawing view scales accoring to the change in height (so it remains the same physical height on the drawing), however I need to be able to increase/decrease the height (or value) of the break linearly to the height of the assembly.
I had a look at the ilogic 'break sample' and tried to adapt it to my needs, however, i couldnt get it working. I am using Inventor 2012.

How can I use one "line break" in the same command on iLogic ?
For a simple doubt, a simple sample :
MessageBox.Show("Message blabla blablablabla blablablabla", "Title")
In this case, how could i divide the message in 3 lines in the messagebox ?
actually this would work for me in other case too, creating a text with more than one line, instead of creat many text boxes.

I have a part that when I adjust its length additional fabs are needed. Now in my idw for this part I want to secure the break lines on the part at a exact distance from the end / each other to display these fabs. Is there a way to parameterize or set the break lines so they adapt to the change in length and move accordingly?

I have a parametric assembly and some of the parts in this assembly require a "Break". When the part dramatically reduces in size the part view disappears as the part is now located in the "Break". Delete the "Break", re apply the "Break".
I would like to be able to constrain a Break to the part, either a sketch on the view or maybe from Workplanes in the part.
