AutoCAD Inventor :: Chamfer In IDWs

Dec 5, 2012

Is there a way to dimension chamfers like in the second pic below so that the values update. You can do a linear dimension and then alter the text and try and find that dimension in the list, but the chamfer tool works well with two clicks but you only get it with a leader. I would like the same function but with a linear dimension sometimes. It would be good if you could choose it. 45° is probably not a really good example, but the leader version is not always so clear.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Subassemblies And Weights In Idws

Aug 14, 2013

I am working on a new concept design for one of our customers.  A critical design parameter is the weight of each of several sub-assemblies.

I have an idw of the top level assembly where I have added Parts Lists of each of the critical subs to show the weight of the components used in each sub assembly.  I would like to add a line at the bottom of each Parts List that shows the total weight of that sub assembly.  I would also like the header of the Parts List to display the Part Number (from the sub assembly iprops). 

Is there a way to get why I want from IV?  I am currently using IV 2012. I have attached a .pdf mockup of what I want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IProperties Date Format In IDWs

I've inserted <CREATION DATE> into the custom title blocks I normally use for drawings. It displays the date without preceding zeros (example: June 18, 2013 is displayed as "6/18/2013" instead of "06/18/2013"). How can I change this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 Extremely Slow In IDWs

May 14, 2012

When working in detail drawings inventor progessivly gets slower, the more information on the drawing, the worse it gets.I was watching the task manager, For ANY command, the 1st core runs at 100% for up to 30 seconds, while this is happening, Inventor is dead.

EG, add a revision row, delete a symbol, zoom in or out, pan, add a dimension, move a leader etc.for each command/move takes 10 to 30 seconds to get control, it took me 45 minutes, to add a revision row and print 15 drawings this morning.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet IDWs And Work Flow

Apr 26, 2012

we have simple assemblies with bolted weldments and few misc. parts. most assemblies are 3-20 parts a typical project would have:

-a few laser cut parts, some plastic and hardware. these items need to have part drawings sent to a vendor. 

-some in house cretaed parts that need a drawing

-assembly drawing for our shop

i think i am seeing that by having one single  IDW its getting hard to send all the drawings to the people that need them. an example would be if a vendor calls about one part, i may send him a 4 page PDF and tell him to look on sheet 2.the other issue that i have is that my standard work flow is:

-design a product

-hand of to another dept for them to enter SKU numbers for parts and assemblies.

so my file names never match what the final product name is. i have been using fields in the iPROP, but it would be nice to revise file names when SKUs are created. im guessing vault would be the tool for something like that?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Flat Pattern IDWs From Assembly

Mar 15, 2012

To increase the speed of production, I like to generate idws of flat patterns from assembly. The following iLogic rule work fine inside a metal sheet (I had to create flat pattern before run this rule).

Imports Inventor.ViewOrientationTypeEnumImports Inventor.DrawingViewStyleEnumDim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocumentDim oPartDoc As DocumentDim oSheet As sheetDim oTG As TransientGeometryDim oView1 As DrawingViewDim oOptions As NameValueMapoPartDoc
[Code] ........

 But from an assembly there are some problem ( firstable I'm not an expert of vba and ilogic)

Imports Inventor.ViewOrientationTypeEnumImports Inventor.DrawingViewStyleEnumfmgr = ThisApplication.FilemanagerFor Each file In fmgr.filesdoc = ThisApplication.Documents.ItemByName (file.fullfileName)compdef = doc.ComponentDefinition' For each assembly or subassembly'If (doc.documenttype = 12291) Then For Each occ In compdef.Occurrences' For sheet metal or part
[Code] ........

AutoCAD Inventor :: Chamfer To A Curved Edge

Mar 4, 2013

In Autodesk Inventor 2013. I have a simple cylinder extrusion with a rectangle attached to the cylinder. Drawing file attached(extrusion 1). Whenever I apply a chamfer to one of the straight edges, Inventor generates negative taper on the cylinder wall (if you zoom in with a window, you can clearly see that their are two lines on the cylinder wall where the chamfer edges was applied).

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? This gives me all sorts of problem in my CAM software because the tool is trying to machine in an area it cannot get to.

As a work around I have to create a new part file with a small gap between the cylinder and the chamfered edges. This keeps the cylinder edges nice and straight with no taper. The work around is attached as well. Since the tool can't go that far into the corner given the radius of the tool, the gap has no affect on me generating code. I have tried many different ways on creating this part with chamfers with no luck. Once the chamfer is generated, it should match the profile of the cylinder.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Detailing Chamfer On Cone In Drawing

Nov 22, 2013

We commonly weld two half cone sections together to make a complete cone. To show the weld prep i have modeled a chamfer on the cone edges.

When i try and show the chamfer on the drawing using a section I cannot dimension the angle as the surface is viewed as a curve by Inventor.

I have attached a drawing and part file showing the problem and showing the detail I would like (I've shown the detail using a simple sketch).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Editing Holes And Chamfer Notes

Oct 3, 2011

Every time I create a chamfer note, I have to edit it, because I don't like '1.5 X 45° ', I like the lower case of '1.5 x 45° '. Only a small detail, maybe, but that's how I prefer it. Can I edit the template somewhere so that this happens automatically?

Similarly, can I edit the hole note so that the tolerance (6H, etc) is not shown for tapped holes?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Corner Chamfer

Dec 18, 2013

Been toying with sheet metal stuff here lately. Going from solid modeling to this feels kind of backwards to how you design.

Anyways, I have part (attached). 300° round. So far checks out to how I want. Please look at chamfer #2. It is in the correct location, but it is not letting me do what I want...maybe I havent started this simple peice in the correct fashion.. What I need is the chamfer in the same 'wall' where it is, but I need it 4.97° x 23" long AROUND the part.

AutoCad :: Chamfer With A Set Distance On A Rectangle

Jun 11, 2012

Here goes= If i have a rectangle that is 27.125 X 27.5 and i want to chamfer a corner, but i also have a set distance(or the hypotenuse) Which is 22. How can i get it to put that angle in there with out trial & error of drawing a 22" long line on a 45 degree angle and moving it till it fits properly, then trimming off the corners... I have tried all the different commands in chamfer, the best i can do is guess at the distance,which is a crap shoot to me.

AutoCad 3D :: Angle Command To Chamfer Tool In 3D

May 20, 2011

Success using AutoCAD's CHAMFER>ANGLE command to chamfer in 3D? Distance/Distance works fine, but I haven't yet figured out how to use the chamfer tool to put a 30 degree chamfer on a cylinder (or any angle for that matter) by specifying a distance and an angle. Seems like it should be simple, but I always give up and end up creating the tapered edge by revolving a polyline that already has the chamfer, or using the TAPER>FACES tool.

AutoCad 3D :: How To Apply Chamfer / Fillet Anywhere Between 0.5mm - 1.00mm

May 22, 2012

We are trying to apply a chamfer / fillet, anywhere betwen 0.5mm - 1.00mm, to the attached ACAD 2004 / ACAD 2012, 3D model, along the edges connectiing from the existing chamfer / fillet, up each side to the top - where you will see there is no chamfer / fillet - (the outside of the cup profile,Attachment 34929 Attachment 34928not the inside of the cup profile).

That resolved the problem, the software struggled a bit with filleting till we tried a smaller degree, then it worked - we thought it would automatically fillet (flow) in / out according to what dims were available.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Fillet And Chamfer Require Three Clicks

Jun 14, 2011

Why do the Fillet and Chamfer commands sometimes inexplicably require three clicks to execute?  At "Select First Object", the first line I select doesn't highlight, and is ignored.  The second pick selects the first line to be filleted, the third pick performs the fillet.  There's no predictability to when this happens.  Does this happen to others?
