AutoCAD Inventor :: Create IPT For Cast With / Without Giving
Aug 25, 2012
The company i'm working used to draw their casted parts in Autocad. They added the extra material (before milling) with a dashed contour line. Now we work with Inventor 2010 and the models are all created 'finished'.
Now the situation is that the CNC-programmer is adding this 'given' material in his Gibs-cam application in order to write his program. Due to that the discussion appeared what is best. To add the material in Inventor or in Gibbs. I'm interested to hear some workaround according to this.

I do not know how to do the folowing:
I have an object that has to be accelerated by an external force. It can freely move in space.
But when I apply the forces,the analysis complains that there are no constraints.
I don't want to constraint the object. Because that would result in stresses that will not be there in practice.
I just want to see the stresses when the forces are applied to accelerate the object.
So how to deal with this?

However, I have one iLogic routine that is giving me an error whenever I run it. Selecting continue allows it run as expected. Basically, it is to remind designers to set the material type to other than “Default”.
Here is the Materialsddd = 0' deleted parameter materialName = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Material.Name If materialName = "Default" Then MultiValue.List("MName") = iProperties.Materials MName = InputListBox("Select Material", MultiValue.List("MName"), Mname, Title := "Select Type", ListName := "MM List") iProperties.Material = Mname iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True The Parameter MName does exist as a mulitlist parameter.

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.

I'd really like to create an animated shadow cast down on the ocean floor by the waves above. That nice ripply effect where the light peaks through the waves onto the sand below. I need it to animate too, I think that will be very hard.
I can't post links at the moment but a simple Google image search of "stingray ocean floor" should yield some nice examples. I can't actually find any tutorials similar enough to adapt for this purpose. (I'd like to have the light ripples as the transparent part, and the shadows varying shade of grey to black)

I have a piece that I'm trying to develop to add into an assembly. The piece I'm trying to create is a cast piece of steel that I'm trying to form to a radius. The piece basically starts out as a flat part and then is formed to a radius. I want to form it from flat to radius so that the contours will match the radius of the piece.

Using VB2010 Express to practice writing code to run things in Inventor 2012. I am an extreme beginner at this, and I am trying out a simple program that opens up Inventor, and when you click a button, it will open up the filename listed in the subroutine. I have attached a .jpg of my code. The program will open Inventor, and open the file, but as soon as the file is finished loading and displays on the screen, it throws the error you see in the .jpg.

SEE ATTACHMENT:
why my UCS keeps giving me these lines attached to my UCS. It not only attaches here but also on each of my Objects. It slows down the computer and the only way I can seem to get rid of them is by shutting down the program and reopening. Is there a quicker/more efficient way of fixing this issue?

I'm currently marking up some electrical items on a building plan.
At present, when I enter the zoom | extents command, the entire drawing is represented as a microdot in the bottom left corner of the screen.
I assume that upon entering the zoom | extents command, my drawing should appear centred on the screen and zoomed such that the entire drawing fills the screen.
Do I need to move the drawing origin? Do I need to rescale?

I'm somewhat new to Civil 3D 2013 and have never encountered this problem before. I've got a top slope standard breakline (dark green line) and bottom slope standard breakline (light green line) with the highest elevation for the top slope at 72' and it gradually slopes down to about 54' within a 75' span. My problem, as you can see in the screen shot below, is I am getting 54'-59' elevation contours right next to a survey point with a 72' elevation whenever I hover my mouse over one of the contours. There are no nearby points with anything near 54' even outside of the surface boundary (shown in magenta).

I have tried a thousand different scenarios with the new pressure pipes. When I create a new parts list and try to draw a water line, the compass only gives me 3 angles. This is using the "out of the box" templates.

I need to have users plot to DWF from paper space so they cancustomize all the layers colors etc, on that specific paper space tab. I then am mixing this with FDO data generated out of Model space. Unfortunately, when using the EXPORTLAYOUT command, the data is coped into Model space but seems to retain it's paper space coordinates. I had hoped this function would behave like CHSPACE and copy everything from paper to model space in the same scale.

I use menu's based upon the following snippet:
(if (or (equal choose "1"))(MYFUNCTIONSDEFINITION))
works a treat, its easy for me to understand even if maybe not totally orthadox in method.
So I can populate my code to have multiple selections such as follows.
(if (or (equal choose "1"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION1))(if (or (equal choose "2"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION2))(if (or (equal choose "3"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION3))
and so on, but the example above caters for situations the users enter the values of 1, 2, or 3. If the user enters anything else I get a nil response from AutoCAD. So I devised the following
(if nil (alert "Wrong selection"))
but no response from AutoCAD qua an alert
also tried to be more in uniform with the rest of the lisp and wrote
(if nil (MYalertRESPONSE))(defun MYalertRESPONSE ()(alert "Wrong selection"))
also fails to yield the desired response.

So... what I want to do is give every player a yellow-red shirt. What I did with the palyer on the right: I just re-brushed the red and yellow on a new layer above the shirt and set the layer-style on "color" and the opacity around 80%. So far so good...
Then I wanted to do the same for the other players... But I just can't get it right. Ofcourse the problem is that the greyscale-values behind the color-layer are different every time.

I am working on a project doing cost estimating and product specification for interiors. First project ever using Revit!
In my "Wall Finish Schedule" I need to show the finish material, the Area (SF) and cost. For tile on the wall I have created basic walls which works great. For my painted walls I used the split face tool and applied the material with the paint tool. Double checking the SF calculations for the applied paint - they are incorrect and seem to calculate the whole wall instead of the split area with material applied.
What is the best solution to properly apply wall materials so they schedule properly?
