On my local machine, when I copy lines from a DWG then attempt to paste them into an Inventor sketch, Inventor crashes. This only happens on my local Windows 7 profile, other profiles are able to perform the same action.
This happens across all DWGs, I am using the same version of DWG TrueView as Inventor, and I have used both custom and stock start parts.
About 50% of the time, when I take a screenshot of part of a pdf (using acrobat's screenshot tool) when I go to paste it into C3d, I choose paste special, and then image object, and the screen goes pale and I get the C3d has encountered an error and needs to close message.
I have installed the latest hotfix which was recommended after a save to dxf crash this morning but just had it crash out again with a paste special.
When this crash happens, it never asks me to send in a report.
I am using C3d 2013. the 64bit version, on Win7 pro 64 bit SP1,Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40ghz and 3.40ghz. 16gb RAM, and AMD FirePro V5900 2gb graphics card.
The computer should be able to cope, but I find that it lags if I just insert whole pdfs and I usually only need a bit of the image.
Is there anything I can do apart from always convert the pdf into a jpg first?
I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?
I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations. Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.
I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist. I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.
I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way. I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option. I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.
I was trying to query some sketch points data from a profile Path using code as below. However the program stopped without telling the reason.
Code below:
i = 0;
foreach (ProfileEntity oSourceProfileEntity in oProfilePath) { switch (oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity.Type) { case ObjectTypeEnum.kSketchArcObject: { SketchArc srcSkArc = default(SketchArc); srcSkArc = (SketchArc) oSourceProfileEntity.SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkArc.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } default: { SketchLine srcSkLine = default(SketchLine); srcSkLine =(SketchLine) oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } } i++; }
First we imported an ".igs" file to inventor, which produced "wires". Then by promoting the wires it produced a 3-d sketch.
The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.
The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch

This is causing modelling to slow down as I can not project lines from the sketch that has disappeared.

I models a ballet bar assy in 2'6" width with derived sketch, then I used DA to copy all the files with new name in 4'. After that, I tried to open the new files, it crashed itself, no matter I open a part or assemble.
But if I changed the derived sketch name back to its original, everything is fine for new files.
I attahced the zip file, try it. If it crashes, just change file: BALLET BAR 4ft_SKETCH
to: BALLET BAR 2ft-6in_SKETCH
everything is fine then.
Create part 'A' with a sketch containing a block e.g. the block might be a circle.
Derive part 'A' into part 'B'.
Create a feature in part 'B' using the derived circle e.g. an extrusion.
Delete block from part 'A'.
Open part 'B' & update.
I'm creating a macro to run on creation of a new assembly from a particular template. I created a macro named autonew in the template's VBA project file. It works great except for one thing: if the user presses "Cancel" on my form, I want to not only unload the form but also close the file. For this case I've used:
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Close True
I've created a test template assembly with only this line in autonew, and it crashes Inventor. The same line of code an a non-autonew module within the template file's VBA project closes the document without error or crashing. I assume this is a bug and not as designed.
Is this a bad way to accomplish the task of closing a newly created assembly? Even if this isn't the preferred approach, I don't think this should cause a crash.

I've written a piece of code in C++ to open a part in Inventor and get parameter data from the part from out-of-process. This code works, but occasionally (i.e. randomly) execution of the code will result in an error message being returned from Inventor which indicates a crash of the program. I cannot figure out why, and because the problem occurs randomly I've had difficultly isolating the problem. Here is my code. The error suggests that I might be releasing memory that I don't own or something like that, but since it happens intermittently it is hard to know.

I'm having an issue with Inventor crashing every time I attempt to follow this exact procedure:
1. I have a drawing open with an iAssembly or iPart in it.
2. I edit a view by double-clicking the view, opening the 'Drawing View' dialog box.
3. I open the 'Model State' tab.
4. In the 'iAssembly/iPart Member' menu box, I select a different member.
Now, it may or may not open the 'Save' dialog box. If it does, then I click 'OK' and poof, Inventor crashes without fail, asking to send in a crash report.
The same thing happens if I start a brand new drawing and attempt to follow the same procedure while inserting a Base view.
Now, I know for a fact that the not all of the drivers are not up to date on my computer, I am not using a recommended graphics card, and I am using SP1.1, not SP2. I have notified my IT guy about this, but he has yet to get back to me. I don't now if/when everything on my computer will be updated. I do not have admin rights to my computer.
In the mean time, Inventor has become essentially useless for me until this issue has been resolved. how I can get these drawings to start working?
When I try to Check files into Vault from Inventor 2011 and I have, under settings, Create visualization attachment checked, Inventor locks up. Only (1) of (4) machines with this problem. Same machine is using Vista, everyone else is using XP.

I have a main assembly with two major subassemblies with one of them I want the representations to be set as Defualt instead of master but when I do this and change the size of my parts Inventor crashes, if I leave it set to master it works fine but parts with visibility turned off still show in the iam and dwg files. If I try to change the representation after changing dimensions Inventor also crashes. I can individually open the sub assemblies and everything works fine.

I need it for engraving as a toolpath and for drawings.
Emboss tool is more suitable for styling and visualisation.
Attached sample from Pro-E:
I need to print an initial 2d sketch (without any 3d work done on it).
Printing this in sketch mode seems to output a screen capture, i.e. some lines appear wriggly and not as precise as an ordinary plot of an idw or dwg file.
A sketch w/o any 3d work will not be accepted as an idw file, thus I am not able to use all the formatting (tblocks, fonts, dimstyles, etc.) options available to idw files.
Is there a way of printing a 2d sketch (w/o any 3d work) as an idw file?
I've managed to hack together some code to draw a rectangle and dimension it. Now I want to constrain it to the origin. I figure either using two dimensions from a top/side to the origin and setting the dimension as half of the other respective dimension would work. Or constraining the center point of a top/side line to be vertical/horizontal to the origin.
The problem I'm having is I do not know how to reference the origin. So until I figure out how to reference the origin point I can't use either method.

I want to make some points in 3D sketch base on the Coordinate System that I defined (UCS).Is there any solution to make these points in 3D sketch just by inputing their coordinates in my UCS?
Example: the new UCS origin has (x,y,z) coordinates from the origin.and one of the points has the coordinates of (x',y',z') from the UCS.
So from the origin it has the coordinates of (x+x',y+y',z+z').Is it possible to just use (x',y',z') from UCS directly to get my point?
