AutoCAD Inventor :: Counterbore Depth Symbol
Dec 29, 2011
When using "Hole and Thread Feature Note" to annotate a counterbore in an IDW, I can add the parameter for the counterbore depth (red circle in the attached screen capture), but the symbol is not available in the symbol drop down list (blue arrow).
Seems like an oversight that the parameter is available but the symbol isn't, especially when the symbol is used for the parameter toggle. Is there a way to add it to the drop down list?

The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

Show me a broken-out section and what the line weight would be?

I want to query the depth of an extrude feature in a model from a drawing file - I've got access to the feature from the drawing file, but I'm struggling to find the correct method to query the extrude depth.
I can see I can get Faces / StartFaces / EndFaces from which I could do some evaluation on - however, StartFaces.Count is 0 (not sure why) EndFaces.Count is 1 (seems logical) and Faces.Count is 9 on a simple rectangular extrusion of depth 10mm.
In reality the extrusion could be any shape, any depth and either a set depth or through all.
Am I on the right tracks with evaluating the Faces collections? Or is there an easier way to get the depth ?

I'm trying to modify the depth of extrusion feature "Extrusion1".
As you can see, it doesn't let me. It only allows the extrusion setting "new solid".

In the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.

When I try to edit the section view depth my only choice is full. The depth is grayed. Is there a setting to turn on to allow this operation?

DRAWINGS: I need to prepare a plan view of a complex part, which incorporates many different (parallel) heights. In the drawing, all of these faces are parallel to the plane of the drawing itself. There are far to many of them to show their heights using section views. The usual drawing convention in this case is to simply indicate each face on the drawing, and then express its height relative to a reference plane.
Until now, I have been doing this simply by measuring a height from the part, and then indicating it on the drawing by adding leaders and text, which:
1. Is extremely laborious
2. Obviously has no intelligent link to the actual part/drawing
My breadth of knowledge in CAD is not huge, but I know that in Gibbscam, for example, after setting the position of the origin in 3 planes, if I then pass the cursor over any parallel plane in the z direction while pressing alt, I will get the distance of that plane from z=0.
What I want is the possibility in Inventor to select a face in a drawing, which is in the same plane as the drawing, and straight away be given it's height relative to a parallel reference plane. Such a value should then update intelligently on the drawing if I modify that same height on the part.

Not able to change the units of tap drill and depth in .idw.
My part is in inch and the style too, is it a bug or a setting? I don't know...
Even if I change the style, custom of default, always the same.

When I save an IDW as a PDF using the 'Save Copy As' function the spacing on the diameter logo for dimensions running up the page gets lost and makes it difficult to read and confusing. (see attached pic). I am not sure if it is a style thing, or a template issue, or just a general inventor fault.

I dont know any way of making a flexible sketch symbol. say the way hatch can be flexed in autocad.
is that something which can be done in inventor.

Seeing the behavior for these symbol alignments, preferably also in earlier version of inventor?
Unable to display content. Adobe Flash is required.

But i'm mainly trying to establish if this is worth opening a support ticket for...

We have a user that has a mysterious red cicle symbol with a slash through it showing up on a draft in a model. I've attached a screen capture of it. The drawing isn't showing any other errors but this symbol won't go away.

In IV9 SP1, is there a way to set what the default weld symbol is in the IDW? Every time I place a weld symbol, it randomly defaults to something different.
As the vast majority of our welds are fillet welds, I'd like that to be the default.

We've been having trouble with all our IDW's, whenever we put a dimension or text with the diameter symbol it plots as 'Q'.
Even in print preview it still appears as the diameter symbol, although when actually printed, it comes out as 'Q'. To combat this in the meantime we have firstly been creating PDF's which display the correct diameter symbol and then printing.
i.e Ø30 on IDW prints as Q30 on paper.
We are using Autodesk inventor suite 2009.

I have the attached symbol next to parts in an assembly, I'm not sure what this is, I have updated all components in the assembly and checked that in the sketch doctor for error however there are none.

How can a second leader be attached to a weld symbol? I tried RMB on the symbol and choosing "Add Vertex Leader". This only put in another vertex and not a leader.

I have a weldment assembly. It is a subassembly under a main assembly. In the 2D drawing of this main assembly, I tried to indicate the welding symbols for the subassembly assembly. The "Get Weld Symbol" is grey out.
How can I indicate welding symbol in the 2D drawing?

How to treat reference diameter dimensions.
If I open up an session of AutoCAD, reference dimensions enclose the diameter symbol in the parenthesis.
Using Inventor, however, the diameter symbol is put outside the parenthesis.
Which is right? It seems silly to make extra work for the user for otherwise identical drawings.

Is there a way to add the all around symbol to a note or dimension? I see how to add it to a weld symbol and a feature control frame, but that doesn't work for me too much just yet...

While editing and updating my idw drawing, somehow a sketched symbol disappeared. I really don't care about that. But this sketched symbol had a hatch in it (a fill actually) and this fill seam to be painted on my drawing right now. I can't select it, so i can't delete it. The only way it vanishes, is when i delete the whole view, with all of the dimensioning etc. i put on it. Anyway got a clue how to delete this hatch without deleting my view?

Adding a leader by checking a box when inserting a sketched symbol. My problem is regarding the leader start point. Can we change the justification of the leader or text, so it does not finish centered on my text? I want the leader to connect outside the text box to correspond to our presentation standards.

I need to create skech symbols to illustrate mounting schemes, so without scale. I need to put dimensions in the symbol, which are only annotation, not parametric. This dimension must be visible once the symbol inserted on the sheet.
When I create the dimension in the sketch, it is always a paramertric dimension, which drve the drawing and is not visible in the inserted symbol.. How can I do to have only an annotation ? (I precise the option "sketch only" does not function on dimensions)

I have a symbol that gets placed in a certian location on a sheet. If the sheet changes size i would like the symbol to relocate itself. Usually i could just find it, delete it and replace it but this one is different. It has 16 prompted entries that may have been populated by the user.
Easy option=Be able to move the symbol.
Difficult option=Load 16 prompted entries into the a dynamic array and replace save the symbol in the new location.
I did some reading on attributes, would adding an attribute to the sheet location allow the symbol to move with it.
