I am using a circular pattern to re-position an internal keyway and am wondering if it is possible to supress the original keyway? Right now I have to give it a 'Placement' value of 2 to get the keyway to shift the amount I want, and as such it keeps the original as well as the new (overlapping them). I wish to suppress only the original one leaving new one...

How can I make a circular pattern of a single occurence of a rectangular pattern?
A shaft has a rectangular pattern of holes (along its axis) on its surface. I want to pattern the 4th occurence of this hole pattern as a circular pattern? Can I do it in Autodesk. I can not select the a specific occurance of a patterned feature to pattern it again.
As you see in the template photo (the photo was scanned by Microsoft Security Essentials, healthy) I wanted to extrude my circle, and I made 28 pieces with circular pattern feature; now, do I have to choose all the pieces by one by to be able to choose all?
The sum of the problem: while using the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern feature in Inventor, sometimes I want to extrude (join) or cut the drawings that I made (augmented) with using circular pattern feature, rectangular pattern feature. in this case do I have to choose all the augmented members one by one (for instance I make 42 augmented members), it can take a lot of time.?
I am currently trying to model a multi cavity mould tool. The cavities themselves do not follow either a circular or rectangular pattern.I have modelled one of the cavities using a revolve internal to the tool. I have also sketched out on the upper surface centre points where I need the cavities to be.
I was hoping I would be able to copy the cavity feature, select a base point and then use the centres from my second sketch to place the cavities.
I don't seem to be able to find this option. The copy and paste feature will likely work but it is hugely long winded positioning each cavity individually. Any method I might be able to use to model such a part?
I have modelled a disc, which has 6 cylindrical extrusions in a circular pattern on the disc surface. I want to change the number of occurrences (the "placement") to 9 but the "OK" button is disabled. I get the preview od the 9 occurrences, but it will not complete the command.

I need to know what sketch is associated to either a "Rectangular"or "Circular"array. This is so I can filter out sketches that are not repeated in an array.
Here is my code so far (Circular Array).
Dim oCP As CircularPatternFeature
For Each oCP In oDef.Features.CircularPatternFeatures
THIS IS THE TROUBLE LINE If sketch = oCP.Parent Then
Set oCP = oDef.Features.CircularPatternFeatures.Item(oCP.Name)

I want to arrange these outer circles in a corcular pattern at equal distance and at equal angle from each other without using circular patten feature in assembly tab. How do I do that.
The reasomn I dont want to use circular pattern in assembly tab is if I do that then, I cannot change color of each outer circle separatly If I change one color it changes color for all of these whcih i dont want.
I want to have each outer circle of different color.

I created a partial sphere with six features on the surface of the sphere. I then applied a circular pattern to each of the siz features. I called the features r1, r2, ..., r6.
r1, r2, r5 and r6 worked as expected. there are 16 features evenly spaced around the surface.
r3 and r4 are different in that the original feature is missing after applying the circular pattern.
each of the six features is as identical as I could get them. I followed the same build seauence for all of them.
each feature is made up of four objects - cut1, cut2, sweep and dimple. I selected the four objects for a row, then applied the circular pattern.
If I delete the circular pattern for r3 or r4, the original feature becomes visible again.
So, why are r3 and r4 behaving differenly than the other four?
I have tried a number of things, including re-drawing feature r3 from scratch with no change in teh results.
The problem: I want a circular pattern for rectangular shaped holes, and I don't want the holes to rotate. The circular pattern doesn't have an option to retain the orientation.

This is for foundation plates. There are 3 plates. The plates are square, and have bolt holes in the corners of the plates. Since there are 3 plates and its going around a circle, the angle between the plates is 120 degrees.
Now, Ive been trying this for some time now and what is happening is the firs plate is fine, but then the second and third plate are rotated around their center axis. I would like it to simply remain as inserted and constrained within the assembly.
I have attached a picture to be more clear about what I want and what I'm currently getting.
I am setting up a family of parts that consist of a round disc with a fixed OD and a circular pattern of notches cut into the OD. The notches must go to a certain depth from the center, so those parameters are set. My problem is that I need to control the amount of material left between the notches, along the OD, after the pattern is done. Given the fixed parameters of the major OD, minor OD (3.5" in this case) and number of notches, the only way to control the amount of material between notches is to change the angle. When I set up the sketch to do the notches, I can only get a fully constrained sketch if I assign a specific angle to the notch. I need to be able to set it up so that the angle of the notch varies so the end result is a specifc amount of material left after the circular patter is completed.
In the attached PDF, I show what I have done so far. In this case the OD of the part is 4" and the diameter of the notch at it's closest to the center is 3.5". So basically, I end up with a driven parameter of 0.443. If I assign this value the parameter of d14, I need to make it equal to a ratio of another parameter (let's call it d15) so that d14 = d15*2.. This can only be accomplished by changing the angle.
In my family, the major OD and minor OD remain the same, but the angle must change to retain a specific amount of material between the notches when the number of notches is increased or decreased.
Is there an iLogic rule I can write to control this?
I am using 2012 currently. I am trying to make 2 key ways in opposite sides of a short aluminum round tube or bushing. the keyways will start at the top edge of the tube, cut to the center of the tubes length, then go 90 degrees in either direction going with the curvature of the tube wall, then back towards the top edge, but not all the way back out.The keyway will be through all, on both sides.
It essentially is a twist lock for a shaft with two pins to be pushed in, turned 90 degrees and sprung back into a locked position. What autodesk intended its Inventor 2010 and 2012 users to use to put this feature into the parts drawing or model.
I'd like to scale, rotate, and/or reposition a pattern-filled Live Paint cell, without cuting the cell from the Live Paint object. Can I do that? I routinely do this in normal objects, using the "~" key trick, but this only seems to work globally, on a Live Paint object (scales all pattern fills, not just one cell).
I'm still using CS5, but am interested to know if it can be done in CS6 as well.
I am using the keyway generator to place a keyway in a hub and shaft, but the depth of the keyway (and the height of the associated key) is not right.
I am using an 18mm and a 20mm dia shaft, both of which should use a 6mm wide by 6mm high key according to the ISO standard. [URL]
But Inventor gives me a 6mm wide x 4mm high key and the keyways to fit; so if I use a standard 6mm high key in real life it won't fit. There doesn't seem to be any way to change to a custom key height.
Or is Inventor using a different set of standards? It's pretty good at matching standards in other places, for example the gear and fastener generators, so this seems strange to me.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an infographic that has a circular pattern. I'm hoping there is a streamlined process that allows me to start with a linear set of bars/pattern (with vertical text) and then automatically transforms the set to an evenly-spaced radiating pattern.
Here are some examples of what I would like to achieve: [URL] ....
I use a simple If/ElseIf code to suppress / uns uppress & reposition holes on a plate to ensure the desired number of fixing hole pairs.
The hole positions will change and suppress/unsuppress depending on the value of the Tie Rod Pitch (vertical) and the O/A length of this plate (and pressure inside the radiator but this is sorted in Excel).
For example PitchMax = 500mm, BP_2ndS= 1600mm (plate length)
If (3 * TieRodPitch_MAX_2ndS ) < BP_2ndS < (4 * TieRodPitch_MAX_2ndS) Then
...
For some reason some times the parameters don’t update in the hole and pattern features after running the rule thus they are in the wrong position or not suppressed/unsuppressed. When I rearrange the If/ElseIf codes it may work. All I change is just replace ElseIfs with If-End Ifs or the other way around...
Which does not make any sense to me, since I change nothing in the parameters or conditions. Is this code structured poorly?
p.s. this is an engine radiator and the number of tie rod pairs depend on the height of the block, pressure inside, width, etc.
The part fie has the code.

a customer has a title block with a revision table ( standard vault revision table) add on top of it.
If you change the sheet size the revision table remains his position.
If found the way to reposition the table with a ilogic rule.:
'point afstand in cm
PointX=(ActiveSheet.Width/10)-13
PointY=5.5
'punt vanaf rechtonder gemeten in cm
[Code]....
This is working perfectly. But now the challange how to trigger this rule to run if you change the sheet size?
if tried:
trigger=Activesheet.size
or
to create a userparameter and added this line in my rule : Size=ActiveSheet.size, normaly is you change parameters it triggers the rule to rule. but both way didn't work.
Can event triggers from the API be used? Do i need the "Onchange" event? Any example for a ilogic rule?
I would like to know if there is any possibility to replace a component with another one, that has a different internal name. Losing the dependencies would be acceptable.
