AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable Harness In Drawing Will Not Hide

Dec 19, 2011

I have created a cable/harness in my assembly.  I have to edit the cable to change visability to centerline display in order to turn off visibility in a drawing view. The issue is that on one sheet of my drawing I need to show the cable, but not on the others. As soon as I turn the rendered display on, the cable shows up on all sheets and the visiblity command has no affect. Is there a hotfix for this? I don't remember a problem like this in 2011.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable Harness Renders

Feb 20, 2012

I have these cable segments in my models. The problem I have is that when I render them or zoom out all of the work points and segment points become visible. It's only when zoomed in that they disappear.Look at the attached images for an example.I would really like my rendered videos to not have bright yellow spots.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness - Virtual Parts In BOM

Jul 19, 2013

I would like to include Terminals and other virtual parts in het BOM on my drawing. For this I need to generate a report. I have defined my own virtual parts but somhow their properties are not accessible. You can see 88 items but this is the total of all segements and pins. Somehow partnumbers show as "---". I have included the report configuration file I am using.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Write To Cable And Harness Library

Nov 26, 2013

When I try to create a custom ribbon cable I get a message that reads:

"The cable and harness library is being edited by another user or is marked as read only. The Cable and Harness Library will be opened in read-only mode. No changes can be made to the cable and harness library, but wires and cables can still be inserted into the harness assembly."

In my project file I made "use style library" to = Read-Write

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable Harness Rendered View

Nov 5, 2013

I have a bit of problem that've been cracking my head. I create a wires, segments using cable harness environments in Inventor. After I created those, I want to see rendered image, but only centerlines appears. I have already change the harness settings into real image(rendered) but still centerlines appears. 

Weird thing is that I create other assembly, it all works perfectly. But I cannot recreate my design, it is already so much work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness / Virtual Parts

Apr 18, 2012

How do I ad my own terminals, seals etc. under Connecter Pin Propertiesvirtual parts, and how do get this information on the nailboard.

Alternatively, I would to put this information(seals and terminals that are to be used with the connector) directly on the connector that i publish to content center, some sort of property/text, that I can retrieve on the drawing/nailboard.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness Color Change?

Sep 16, 2011

I am working on a model that uses a few lanyards to attach some pins to a plate.  For the cable in the lanyard I used the cable and harness to create an assembly from segments.  I just now need to know how to change the color of the wire from blue to green and also how to remove the yellow outline.  I want to use the images in a manual so I want them to look correct.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness Center Lines Not Visible

Dec 31, 2011

I have an assembly that I want to put some wires in, but every time I create a wire between pins, or a segment, or anything through the Cable and Harness tool, the centerlines don't show up. The rendered wires can appear, but without any sort of way to get at the centerline, I can't set its path or anything like that.

I was wiring up components no problem in a sub assembly, but for some reason it just won't work in my top level assembly. I thought it might be a problem with how I added pins to the components, but even trying to create a wire between 2 connectors from the content center gave the exact same results.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness - Root Multiple Wires Along Same Path

Jul 30, 2013

Is there a relatively easy way to root multiple wires along the same path, with a predefined distance between them so there's no interference between them? Something similar to the attached picture... or packed even closer together.

I got in a hole lot of trouble to get the result from the picture and I was hoping that there is an easier way... a workaround... something.

Using segments is not an option (only maybe as an intermediary step) but in the end I have to have all the wires as separate entities.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Translate Cable Along With Rotating Cable Constraint

Feb 28, 2012

I am working on a assembly where a cable wrapped around a drum is animated to rotate with the drum, and there is a longer cable coming off of the rotating cable wrap, this longer piece goes down to another cable on a roller assembly. I have edited the assembly to work without the actual cable drum and without the roller assembly ( I wasnt allowed to share those models ) There are now two cylinders in place of the cable drum, a Grounded center to hold everything in place, a Rotating center which is animated so the wrap can rotate.

My problem is when the part named "Drum to Roller" is a lofted cable with angled ends to meet the "Drum wire wrap" at one end and it meets the "Radius cable ends" at the other end. I need the "Drum to roller" to stay constrained to the "radius cable ends" as well as the "drum wire wrap" ... and after being constrained still animate.

I have set up the animation and you will see that the "Drum wire wrap" is animated to keep the end vertical , the animation is set up to look like the "drum wire wrap' is un-raveling cable and the "drum to roller" is to be what un ravels.

I need to find a way so that the "drum to roller" translates down and over , staying constrained to the "drum wire wrap".. You will see that so far it does not.

I have attached two links below they include the two halfs of my assembly, place all the files in the same folder so you wont have to search for them manually.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Hide Features In A Drawing

Sep 20, 2012

I have a panel with holes,cutouts and silkscreen

In the drawing the panel is detailed to show hole locations and sizes on one sheet and in another view @ 1:1 the silkscreen is shown.

The silkscreen is a feature on the panel, text either embossed  or extruded .005" outward. The feature is colored (filled).

On my drawing all the silk screens show up like un-filled fonts. This really bothers some people and my task is to fill the fonts.

Also i need to get the silkscreen by itself and (suppress/invisible) remove the other features from the view.

Suppress will not work as the feature i am trying to show will also be suppressed. Visibility of features is not an option.

Q. HOW CAN I GET THE FEATURE SEGREGATED AND SOLID IN MY DRAWING? but still a feature of the part. i.e. i don't want to create an assembly with a panel and a silkscreen.

How do i suppress features in a view on the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Dimensions In Sketch Mode In Drawing Environment

Sep 28, 2012

I was giving a hand drawn wiring diagram (original.jpg) and it is a rats nest!!

I was asked to re-draw this and put it on our drawing template.

I have the plugs and terminal blocks drawn up and now I am about to attempt to add in the wires, but the sketch is so filled with dimension lines and values, it is going to be a task to try and make sure every line I draw is correct. This would be much easier to do if the dimensions could be turned off as the wires I am drawing will not be constrained.

I don't think there is layers options inside a sketch mode, or a if i start a new sketch I don't think I can project that sketch to the new one?

The only other options I can think of was to delete all dimensions and apply FIX constraint to everything! or

I guess I could have modeled the plugs and blocks in position and added them to the drawing, projected the geometry to a new sketch and added in my wires??

There must be someway to toggle the dimensions??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Placing A Label On Harness

Nov 15, 2011

How to place a label on a harness.

i have created a label in library, modified and saved.  WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO INSERT????

Maybe i have this mixed up.  Are we talking about a virtual label or a real label (textbox describing label)?

I would like to add a 1-12" plastic covered adhesive label at each connector to identify the connector. Usually we place a text box with an identifier and a table with the label data on the drawing.

This is what i am trying to do. Is this not right?  Is this the nailboard label that inventor is talking about or am i out to lunch?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2010 Harness Visibility Won't Turn Off In DWG

Aug 29, 2011

In Inventor dwgs when I turn the visibility of the harness assembly off (the icon turns gray) the harness still remains visible in the View on the dwg. My co-worker is having the same problem. This is happening on several different inventor dwgs where the harness is not visible (the visibility is turned off) but once an edit is made to the assembly (such as making a part visible) the harness becomes visible even the the visibility is turned off in that View. I don't know if this is related to the recent installation of service pack 4 for inventor 2010 as this problem recently began occurring.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Wires Are Not Displayed As Rendered After Created With Harness And Wire

Nov 13, 2013

After I create a wire it will not be displayed as a rendered wire. There is no indication of error in the wire (to sharp angle) and this is also happens for a straight wires with no turns.

I have made multiple revisions of an assembly and in older reviosions I can make the wires and they are shown as rendered. But in the latest revision it is not possible. In a older revision I had a harness assembly than deleted it could this have any affect?

Also is there any setting that hides rendered wires that I might have turned on accidently?I have a student licence and the assembly has about 700 parts if that makes any difference.
