AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Make View Center Be At Camera Using A 3D Connection Device

May 10, 2009

Just got a Space Navigator the other day, pulled it out of the box all excited that i would be able to rotate models about the center of the camera, which would allow me to get into really tight spots, rotate the model and not have other parts of the model move in front of the camera, therefore blocking my view of what i was trying to see. So out it comes, all software loaded, inventor is open with a tidy structural assembly sittign there waiting to be manipulated by my new shiny toy, and uh no. CAN'T ROTATE ABOUT THE CAMERA! AARRGGGH. right bummer.

I'm pretty sure its an Inventor problem since i know for a fact that you can rotate about the center of the camera usign this device in 3ds max. The 3D navigation tools in inventor are crap anyway, the feature of being able to rotate about camera center should be native in inventor.

using any of 3D connexions devices in Inventor and maybe they have a work around for this. I'm pretty sure i read somewhere that with practice people have been able to 'fly' down pipes in Inventor. But my experience so far would mean that once you get to a bend in the pipe and you rotate the view, you would just rotate yourself straight out of the pipe.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Section View As Isometric View

Oct 29, 2013

I have a long shaft with parts mounted on. i want to section it and show the parts. i don't need to show the whole length of the shaft.

I know i can crop the isometric view, but this way i will not see the key hole which is on the other side, it's hidden.

If i make a section it 's in an orthogonal view only.

I want to make the section view, but later to transform the sectioned view to an isometry. is it possible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Camera For Drawing View?

Aug 24, 2011

We are sometimes faced with the problem that we would like change the coordinate system of the model and have the drawing update it with the new orientation of the part without the need to place every annotation again. This is mostly for legacy parts and assemblies which are not modeled correct according to the coordinate system of the machine.

The following sample code does not work, is this by design or is there an error in the code?
 
Public Sub RotateFirstView() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oDrawView As DrawingView Set oDrawView = oDrawDoc.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1) Dim oCamera As Camera Set oCamera = oDrawView.Camera Debug.Print oCamera.ViewOrientationType = kFrontViewOrientation oCamera.ViewOrientationType = kIsoBottomLeftViewOrientation oCamera.ApplyEnd Sub

AutoCAD Inventor :: Section Line Attached To A Center Hole (side View)

Oct 15, 2013

The objective is to section a part, selecting a center of the hole (side view, not top view) to attach the section line.

In the hole's top view we can select the center hole to attach the section view, but in the side view, i can´t find any attach point, even if i have a center line.

I know we can edit the section line later and create some construction lines to center the section line with the hole, but i wonder, there's a better process, more automatic,  to achieve this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Retrieve A Camera Object For The (Home View)

Aug 23, 2012

I'm trying to retrieve a Camera Object for the "Home View", without setting the view to Home.

I use the "UserInteractionDisabled=true" in a addin to make sure the user doesn't mess with the inventor while my addin is doing some time consuming work.

When documents are open in this mode, the view is set to front. The only way I have found to get the camera for Home View, is to use the GoHome method on the ActiveView, but this is slow since it is running an animation...

Roughly im doing the following:
 
Inventor.UserInterfaceManager.UserInteractionDisabled = true;Document invDoc = Inventor.Documents.Open("c:\somefile.ipt");View v = invDoc.Views[1];v.GoHome(); //would like to not do this, it is animatingCamera cam = v.Camera;//cam.ViewOrientationType = ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kDefaultViewOrientation; //<- this will fail.. Point eye = cam.Eye; Vector up = cam.UpVector.AsVector();Point target = cam.Target;
 
Is it possible to get the Camera object for Home with "going" home?

Completed a project. Wanted to show the customer the end result and go over changes on my laptop. Copied the directory to my laptop. None of the Nuts & bolts will show up on the laptop version.  Got a new desktop computer. Same problem. My completed version doesn't show the content center items, Hence drawings & assemblies are always un-resolved. How can I get the Content center files to show up without deleting and reinserting the items.

Also how can I make the content center parts I place into the model reside in the local path.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Section View Inherit A Break Out

Oct 6, 2013

I have a view of an assembly where I used a break out to break through a part. I want to make a section of this, and have that view respect that the part was broken and show it as broken in the new view.

The section view shows the full part 100% unbroken. In the edit view, the only option for cut inheritance is "break". All others are greyed out.

Why I want to do this: I am unable to break it in the section view because there is no option to break through a single part a specified distance. I cannot break an area "from point" or "to sketch" because they don't let you choose a single part for the effect, and the parts completely included in the break out this way are not going to show up in the parts list, so you cannot adjust their section participation, therefore I also cannot just break an area and then choose what parts don't get the effect.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Put Default Orbit Center To Center Of Screen?

Aug 22, 2013

I'm having some fits with the constrained orbit center. It seems to me that It used to always be in the center of the screen when I would use Shift and CMB. Now it seems to be stuck on the center of my assembly/part. I know that I can hit F4 and long select LMB to re-center but I have never had to do that before the last day or two. I have uninstalled all the Beta Add ins I had installed and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Inventor Pro 2014. 

Is there an option somewhere that puts the default Orbit Center to the center of the screen?

AutoCad :: Make Block To Automate Design Of Typical Cross-bracing Connection Plates

Apr 5, 2013

Attached is a small scale sketch that I'm trying to work with.

Drawing3.dwg

I want to make a block to automate the design of typical cross-bracing connection plates relative to the angle of the x-brace. Since the angle varies from one structure to another, I need a quick way to draw these.

Make a dynamic block that would locate to the intersection of the beam and the x-brace. Then I'd adjust a "rotating reference line" from the block to align with the x-brace and then offset the plate edge to mate with the beam web. Sounds easy, but...

The parts that I need dynamic are:
1) the edge of the plate that mates to the beam web (since different beams have differing web thicknesses - this needs to be adjustable).
2) the edge of the beam flange (to make the line type hidden below the beam flange)
3) the rotation of the reference line to align with the cross brace line (so the holes are properly aligned)

I was originally trying to achieve this with a rotate parameter, but had no luck. So I just thought of replacing the rotate parameter with a polar stretch parameter and it's the closest I've been to resolving the problem, but there's still a funny quirk. When I align the reference line in the block to the cross brace angle, the two other adjustments (web and flange locators) rotate too and become skewed. How can I keep those other two beam adjustments horizontal?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make A View Showing Motor Jack Screw Unit

Sep 16, 2013

I'm trying to make a view showing a motor-jackscrew unit with the jackscrew at the fully retracted position and also with the jackscrew at the fully extended position (in phantom).  Refer to the attachment.

My initial plan was to have two views in the drawing, one retracted and one extended, and then just align them vertically and horizontally.   But it turns out that you can only align vertically OR horizontally, not both at the same time.  So I created an assembly of two iAssemblies, one with the screw extended and one retracted.  Then I made the drawing view from the direction that placed the extended assembly directly behind the retracted assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Studio Camera Animation - Camera Rolling On Selected Path

Jun 2, 2010

For some reason when using the path option in inventor studio for camera animation the camera rolls for no reason?? I have created two helical curve sketches around my product, the outer curve is the path for the camera and the inner curve is the path for the target. Both curves are the same height and have 1 revolution. When i play the camera it works out fine untill it hits 1/4 of the way through and suddenly flips 180 degrees so now the camera is upside down, once it hits 3/4 of the way it flips back again to the correct rotation. If i dont create an inner curve for the target and place the target directly in the centre of my product with no path to follow the camera spins all over the place when it follows the curve.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bolted Connection Family Name

Jun 21, 2012

I've copied Standard CC libraries to read/write libraries and modified the tables. Mostly fasteners. I've prefixed the family name and family description with our company name.  When I "place from content center", it's easy to see our content because the families are prefixed with our company name.  However, when I use bolted connection, some of the families do not show our family name as a prefix like "place from content center" does. People constantly pick the wrong fasteners. They select fasteners without our Item number, etc. Then, they need to delete the fastener and try again. I can't seem to get bolted connection to show some fasteners with the company name prefix like Place from CC does. However, some families do show it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Break Bolted Connection

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.
