AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Extrude Geometry Text

Jul 7, 2013

I'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself.?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude All Projected Geometry Automatically?

Feb 7, 2013

I have looked thru the forum and didn't see this question anywhere.  Many times I have to make mounting holes on large assemblies that have a lot of holes to project and extrude.  

Is it possible for the Extrude command to pick all Projected Geometry automatically?  If it looked only specifically for only projected geometry?  It would save so much time instead of having to pick every single projected geometry hole to extrude.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude Text With Specific Font Type

Aug 21, 2012

I'm trying to extrude some text with the font type "CommercialScript BT". In Inventor 2011 this was not a problem. In Inventor 2012 and 2013 I get the error:   

Create extruded feature failed
Part4: Errors occurred during update
Extrusion3: Could not build this Extrusion

Self-intersecting loop found in this profile.  Remove the intersection by adding a sketch point at curve intersections or by changing non-profile geometry to construction geometry.

Is there a way to solve this? I have tried to extrude other fonts without any problem. I can also extrude one single letter with the font "CommercialScript BT" without any problem but as soon as I writes a word I get the error.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Break Drawing Geometry Lines Behind Text

Mar 3, 2011

does Inventor offers any option to break geometry lines in drawing behind the text (e.g. notes and dimensions)? I tried this in IV 2009 as well as in IV 2011, but the result is the same in both version, shown on first image. The text is sometimes difficult to read when it is crossed with geometry lines.

AutoCad 3D :: Make Outlined Text From Illustrator Extrude Properly

Jul 16, 2012

I am currently trying to make a bracelet with text engraved in the outside of it with autocad, and my current problem is that I have to make the text 3D before I can subtract it from the bracelet. I am using autocad for mac, which means I dont have the express tools, most notably textexp. I am fairly sure that, without other programs, making 3d text with autocad for mac is impossible. I have tried making text in adobe illustrator, outlining it, and exporting it to autocad, but when I explode it (with the default explode command) and extrude the text, it looks like this:

As you can see, very few of the letters get properly extruded, and some arent even effected at all. I've tested other fonts, and they all have the same problem, albeit with some differences in exactly which letters are changed. Except papyrus, in which none of the text gets extrudedhow to make outlined text from illustrator extrude properly, be my guest! The same goes if you have a different way to make 3D text.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Geometry Point Labels - Text Style

Jan 21, 2013

I am in the process of modifying our current company standards to conform to another set of standards. The main change is switching from "simplex" font style to "Tahoma".

Simple in theory but problematic in execution, our main alignment label style "GEO-LABL", used for P.O.T, PC, ect. utilizes an underlined reference text object in order to control the length of the line under the call. The base insertion places the call perpendicular to the alignment, when dragged to the left or right it switches to stacked text plan readable. Works like a champ with the "simplex" text style - 1.jpg see attached.

Now simply changing the font to "Tahoma" - 2.jpg the larger you make the text the larger the gap.I am trying to stay away from adding a line for the underline due to the difference in lengths needed when the call gets longer or shorter based on alignment name or stationing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude To Length

Sep 4, 2013

I'm making a tube that is connected on another tube. I did this by skeleton modeling, for my tube extrusion i used Extrude To surface.

Is there any way to get the length of that extrude?

 I know its possible to get the sweep length like this. Is there a way to get the extrude length as well?

'Set a reference to the active part document

Dim oDoc As PartDocument oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDef As PartComponentDefinition oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim opath As Path opath = oDef.Features.SweepFeatures.Item("TheSweep").Path
Dim TotalLength As Double TotalLength = 0

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Extrude Or Cut On Model

Oct 17, 2013

So I started on this project recently and was not the original modeler.  This section of pipe has some problems where I'm guessing a sweep went wrong.  I've tried everything I know to do to try to fix this section but haven't had any luck.

- This model has no tree and is shown as one soild "base"

- I tried to extrude cut the bad section

- I tried spliting the bad section

- I exported the file as an IGES and then tried to remove bad section

I'm sure there are some other round about ways I tried that I can't think of but in the end nothing has worked.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude So That End Gets Thinner?

Aug 20, 2012

I'm using the extrude tool so that the rectangle that I'm extruding (downwards) will taper (and become thinner at the bottom). However, when I do this, even as a fraction (.01) it seems to get bigger at the bottom. How do I make it thinner at the bottom, not bigger?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Trying To Extrude To A Surface

Aug 13, 2013

I was watching on of the "Sales" videos on Autodesk.com.  I saw them extruding a part surface to another surface of an imported part.  I have a need to do this.  When I try to extrude my part, I cant pick the surface that I need it to go to.

The video I am watching is here.  Its titled "Native Translators".  They show the surface being extruded at about the 0:53 mark.

The problem that I have is while working in the assembly, I double click on my part to edit it in the assembly.  Next I chose Extrude and "To Next", but I am unable to pick the surface I need it to go to.  The surface is in another part that is in the assembly.  The part I am trying to extrude is adaptive, like in the video.

I did notice that in the video, when they pick the "to Next", the add/cut/intersect is greyed out.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude Cut From 3D Sketch

Jan 9, 2013

I know my subject is somewhat mis-named, because I gather that you cannot really extrude from a 3D sketch, however I am looking for a way to accomplish what extruding a cut from a 3D sketch would accomplish.

The problem is this: I have a simple 2D sketch that I've projected onto a curved surface (imagine a square projected onto the outside of a hollow cylinder). Now that I have a 3D sketch on the surface of the cylinder, I want to use that sketch as a "cookie cutter" through one wall of the cylinder.

If I were to simply extrude the cut from the 2D sketch, the "cookie" is wider at the edges than at the center. I want the cut to be perpendicular to the projected 3D sketch at all points. 

I've attached a simple example that illustrates my problem.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Extrude Sketch?

Mar 28, 2012

Sometimes after I have created a sketch I can not extrude it, sometimes it wont let me click on the profile, other times it will only let me cut away material not add it like I would like.  I am sure it has something to do with something fundamental I am doing wrong within the sketch, but I am not sure what.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude Round Stud

May 14, 2013

Right now I am trying to model a concrete embed plate. The design calls for 1/2" round steel embeds at the contour of the line in the attached image. What is the best way to extrude this line into a 1/2" DIA dowel? I have tried the revolve command and sweep command without any luck... I know the sweep command would probably work the best but I can't seem to draw a 1/2" dia circle perpendicular to the line.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Extrude To Conical Parts

Nov 11, 2013

I am creating a fan wheel (see attached). The fan blade needs to be extruded to the inside surface of a 2 piece cone assembly. To make it even more difficult, the inner portion of the blade needs to be cut at an angle so that the extrusion ends at the cones. See attached pdf reference sketch. The result for the flat pattern blade edge should be two parabolic curves.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use Sketch From A Template For Second Extrude?

Jun 15, 2013

I'm using a template file (part with just a drawing in it) for the basis of a few parts.

In one of these parts I use the template sketch for an extrude. After that I would like to use it again for some other extrude.

But I can not reference the drawing again. Normally I can 'share'a sketch. But somehow a sketch from a template file can not be shared. How can I use the template sketch for a second extrude?
