AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create New Material Appearance Color Simply

Aug 24, 2012

I know the material-appearance feature is appalling and badly implemented, but I can not wait until SP1, so any simple method of adding new colors to Inventor.  I have looked through the wiki help and there is no simple explanation.

In our company the way we generally work with Inventor is to assign certain colors to parts and sub-assemblies, thus making it easier to build the final assembly.  In previous versions of Inventor this was easily done.  In 2013 some of the bold (primary) colors are missing and almost all of the various shades of these colors are also missing.

Migrating files across to 2013 has also caused problems with the color appearance not updating correctly.  I won't go into the details but the problems and niggles aren't consistent, and there doesn't seem a way to clean/refresh the document library.

What I want is about a dozen bold colors (with a matte finish so when editing the part you do not have to overcome the optical illusion of starring into a morphed mirrored image of a carpark).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotating In Assembly Background?

Sep 26, 2011

I have a part that I am inserting into an assembly, the assembly consists of a 2D AutoCAD Architectural background. I want to align the part, with the background itself, so I just need to turn it 90degrees. When I do a rotate, it keeps rotating it on a 3D axis, including when I use my grip edit, and use a line to align for the new rotation.

How do I quickly rotate a part so that it's not rotating on a 3D axis, it just rotates along the x,y axis?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotating A Part In Assembly

Sep 14, 2012

I'm using 2010 and maybe this has been addressed in subsequent versions, i don't know.i've designed parametic platform that I would like to insert into an assembly and have it prompt me for elevation and orientation. Short of VBA code, i'm not sure I can do this. I AM trying to make the process as simple as possible for use by people who will not be overly familiar with Inventor. The easier it can be done, the sooner it can be adopted and more people taught how to actually use it.

I know I can bring it in and constrain it different axes and planes.

I also know that I can insert a piece into an assembly and ground it at 0,0,0. Using that I can ground it at 80 feet in the air or whatever elevation I choose using the occurrence tab of iproperties for the part/assembly. That in and of itself goes a long way toward what i'm trying to do. There's also a rotational setting there that would work for setting an orientation, but it's greyed out. In fact, in any example I try and make, it's always greyed out.

I've tried doing it as an iassembly as well, but there doesn't seem to be any provision in iassemblies for making custom values like there is in an ipart.

Either a dialog to prompt for the info or via something like the occurrence tab is fine.each identical assembly/part has to be individually constrained to get the correct orientation?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Rotating Constraint

Mar 24, 2013

I am using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013.

Motor Model 1:1 is used to turn the wheel holders at various angles. The part named "front gear spring holder" is supposed to revolve and turn the inner part of the "front wheel holder" My problem is that I want to simulate the turning of the front wheel's using contact sets or 3d/2d contact sets in the dynamic simulation environment. I do not know how to do this, but I'm almost certain the program is capable of doing so. Also the spinning of the front wheels must be able to be done along with various angles of the front wheels(while turning, the front wheels must be able to still spin with the front gear spring holder". 

I have seen threads and articles that say that making gears with contact sets is not recommended or possible but i have two instances here where they work perfectly fine using the dynamic simulation with 3d /contact sets. Take a look at the simulation I have saved as well.

I will need more on this assembly in the future, including how to create bevel gears that work at 90 degree angles or spur gears with contact sets instead of just simulating their movements .

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Non-rotating View

Apr 20, 2012

I have a solid body .ipt that I have created an assembly from. Some of the parts in the solid body can rotate which in turn rotates them in the assembly which is great. The problem is I need to create a drawing of the parts of the assembly. If I create a base view of a part that rotates the view rotates also, but I do not want that. Is there a way to create a view that always "looks" at a surface of a part no matter what position it is in?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Studio Assembly Animation - Part Parameter

Nov 8, 2013

I have an assembly inside of Inventor Studio.  One of the parts inside of the assembly has a parameter that I would like to animate. When I select the "Parameters" function within the "Animate" tab on the ribbon, I get an error:

"There are no favorite parameters defined."

This worked fine when I tried the same thing with only the part inside of Inventor Studio, but not when the part is included inside of an assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Manual Animation Of Ratchet And Pawl Mechanisms In Assembly Files?

Apr 26, 2004

problem when manually animating a model ratchet and pawl mechanism in an assembly file. One can get the pawl to track the ratchet wheel surface OK but there seems to be nothing to stop the ratchet wheel going in both directions, contrary to real life experience. I have used transitional constraints to link pawl surfaces with ratchet wheel surfaces but there seems to be no drive constraint which will operate in this circumstance.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Views In Model Space

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Paper Space View (not Just Viewports)

Jul 31, 2013

I have wall section sheets that are best viewed in portrait mode, but use the same landscape page setup as the other sheets in the set.  So the viewports for the sections are rotated 90 degrees and difficult to read on the screen.  Is it possible to rotate the paper space UCS and rotate the paper space "view" to match the UCS, like you can in model space? 

I don't want to rotate the viewports and title blocks themselves & set up a portrait page setup.  This is because I'm using Acrobat's PDF maker for batch plotting and not using the same page setup for each sheet makes one click, fire-and-forget publishing impossible.  And I don't want to use DWG-to-PDF because it doesn't have any configurable image compression settings that I know of.

If it's not possible, then it's not the end of the world.  We have AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD LT 2012 & 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Parts In Assembly

Oct 31, 2013

When creating a new part in an assembly and I select a face of an existing component, how does Inventor determine the orientation and origin of that new part?   I understand how Inventor works when I select the plane/origin of a part or pick out in space in the assembly.But the placement based on the face of an existing component seems random..

I normally do not like creating parts inside of an assembly but I was trying some new workflows.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create BOM For Top Level Assembly

Jun 20, 2013

I am using IV 2010. I have an assembly that is made up of subassemblies and individual parts.  Some of the subassemblies share the same parts.  I would like to know when I create the BOM for the top level assembly if it can show parts only with no assemblies.  I want to get the BOM to combine like parts from all subassemblies in one list. I have tried to use the part only option and it still puts subassemblies in the BOM and breaks the parts out per subassembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create An Assembly With Representation

Oct 20, 2011

I am trying to create an assembly with different representation. let me take a small example and explain. I am trying to create an assembly with say 2part. 1. A circular base plate of 6in dia (An assembly by itself in my case). 2. A plate on top of that say 4in,3in, 4,5in. 

in one representation I want to have the base plate and 4in plate on top with say 0.2in holes going all the way through on 1in bore circle. 

In another representation I want to use the same base plate with 3in plate on top with 0.2 in holes on 1.5in bore circle. When I am creating an extrusion in one representation view it is still showing on the other representation too.

I want to know if there is a way to turn off the feature (representation wise) so that when i turn on the 4in plate i can see the 4in holes and when i turn on 3in plate i can see the 3in holes.

I don't want to have multiple ipts for the base plate as i am dealing with an assembly for the base plate. the only difference is the locations of the holes for different top plate. I want to create just one top level assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Assembly To Create A Part

Nov 3, 2013

I'm trying to design a linear bearing that is composed of a billet of material to which six ball bearings are bolted. I was able to create a part representing the ball bearing from the manufacturer's dimensions. I then modeled a lock washer as a part, then an assembly consisting of a ball bearing and a lock washer. I then created an assembly from that assembly, with six of these ball bearing/lock washer assemblies in the desired orientations.

Now that I have the ball bearings oriented in space the way I need them, I need to model the billet to which they will all mount. I did things in this order because the ball bearings are metric, yet the rest of my design is in imperial units, and it just seemed easier to orient the bearings (which will interface with yet another assembly that I have yet to design) first.

I'd like to create my billet using the assembly as a reference. The assembly will tell me where I need holes in the billet to mount the bearings, where I need to cut out material for clearances, etc. I can't figure out how (or if) I can import my assembly into my part file, or what other tools are available to accomplish this task.

I'm attempting to model something similar to this. I've got the six bearings oriented in space, now I need to make the block to which they mount.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Exploded View Of Assembly

Feb 19, 2013

I need to create an exploded view of an assembly to show how it's supposed to be put together.  "Hey, why not use the slick presentation feature in Inventor?  I've already got the model!"  It's not working out to be that slick.

Outlined in red, is the "wrong" trail that Inventor put in by default.  I added the highlighted trail, which is what I want and reflects how things actually go together.  How do I get rid of the one I don't want?  Hide turns off both of them.  Delete deletes the tweak.  All I've found was a workaround where I hide the line in the drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Subassembly From General Assembly?

Jan 3, 2014

I created a general assembly (GA) and placed several parts and assemblies. After I realized there are too many parts and assemblies in the GA to reasonably place on a drawing. Now I want to remove some parts and create sub-assemblies. Is there an easy proceedure to select some parts in the GA and insert them into a new sub-assembly and (hopefully) keep the constraints intact?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Assembly That Can Be Adjusted For Each Instance?

Jul 29, 2013

I want to create some modules for a platform deck. The modules are made of C5x6.7 channels in one direction, L2x2x3/16 angle stiffeners in the other direction, and 3/16" deck plate on top.

My "drivable" parameters will be length and width.

The modules will all be different sizes, so I need to be able to have every instance of the assembly be different.

The workflow I was attempting to do before I got stuck was this:

1. Create a skeleton part (just a sketch) with Length and Width parameters.

2. Insert in an assembly and use frame generator to build the structural shapes (channels and angles)

3. Insert another part (the 3/16" plate) that can reference the length and width and adjust to be the correct module size.

Is there a way to make parts in an assembly all follow the same parameters? More importantly, can each instance of this assembly show up differently and be adjustable when I place these modules in my main assembly?

I don't know much about iParts - but it looks like an iPart lets you choose from predefined dimensions - I want something that I can custom input any size I need.
