Apr 6, 2012I just installed the educational version of Inventor and when i go to draw a circle in a sketch i cant enter in a specified radius. Any way to enable that?

View 9 RepliesSomething was changed in my Inventor settings yesterday, and I have no idea what it was, or how to change it back.
In the part sketch mode, when I go to dimension an object, I no longer get the box pop up for me to enter the dimension. I now have to double click the dimension in order to enter the correct dimension.
What was changed, and more importantly, how do I change it back?

It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

How do I can remove "press enter" ?
I have created a new form using three fields, to show quantities, job no etc. and was wondering what code I need to use to be able to push enter after filling out a field and then jumping to the next field?

I need a angular displacement between 80 and 20 deg.I cannot enter the "80" value, Invenotor does it.
Is there a way you can animate a constraint the way you want instead the way inventor wants???
How do I add a dimension so that it shows both metric and imperial, with metric first, but has the appropriate units after each. Ie. 1.0mm (0.039 in.)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get the dimension text that I pull out to the side closer to the actual dimension marks. The 2 1/2" and 2" shown have a minimum distance they can get toward their dimensions. I would like it to be about half of what it is, but so far I haven't been able to find the property that changes that.

A simple linear scaling might be possible by inventing a new unit with the appropriate conversion ratio, but that wouldn't work. What I need for the dimension to display a length 400 less than the actual length.

" 8 Spaces at 5" = 40" ".... The 40 would be the default dimension value, everything else I want to add to the dimension... I have added tons of text information behind default dimension values, this is the first time I need to add the text before the value and cannot figure out how to get it to work...
Example:
oLinDim(3).Text.FormattedText = "8" &" SPC'S AT" & vbCrLf & "5 = "
this adds text after the default value of 40...
I would like to show such a dimension, like S1 in attachment. It is really value of tolerance of nominal 0 dimension.

I know that solidworks always shows a triangle when you use the dimesion tool so you don't always have just the diagonal dimension.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy 2014 inventor crashed and since then when I try to dimension a circle, I get a small "half circle" icon and it dimensions the half circle instead of a diameter or radius. Is there a setting that has changed when I crashed? I cant right click to get any dimension options.
It seems that the diamter dimension works on other things. the part im trying to dimension is a frame generator part. I have dimensioned off of these with no problem.

I set a dimension to a 2dline. The dimension is automatically added to Model Parameters. How can I find , by code, the line which length is driven by the parameter ? Or, starting from the line find the parameter which indicate its length ?
::GetDependents(), nor ::GetDrivenBy(), nor ::GetParent() gives me the answer.
When I place a centerline (or include a workplane from the ipt) is there ANY way to dimension to the intersection of this centerline and the edge of an object?
Like in this image above, I would like a horizontal dim between the vertical centerline and the intersection of the centerline and the edge of the part.I know that I can create a sketch on the view and project geometry/draw geometry... but that is such a pita.
I would like to dimension the arc length of a radius in sketch mode. I am using Inventor simulation 2010.

But it can be changed. When this happens I just delete and reopen another part.
Why is this, and, can this be changed?
I want to insert dimension lines on this project. But instead of having an actual dimension I'd like it just to be a letter that refers back to a chart of possible dimensions for that element. How do I do this? I'm using AutoCad Architecture 2012.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to assign different dimension styles to different sheets in an idw. I have idw drawings with several sheets and use a couple of different dimension styles depending on what is on each sheet. I've created the dimension styles I want to use but I don't know how to assign a dimension style to a specific sheet. For now what I am doing is dimensioning, then as needed for the dimensions that need a different style, right click on the dimension and select new dimension style to changes its dimension style. I would like to assign dimension styles to specific sheets, is there a way to do this? Even though borders, title blocks, etc. are the same throughout the sheets, do I need to create different sheet formats to do this?
