AutoCAD Inventor :: Create PDF From IDW
Nov 18, 2013
I'm trying to create a pdf from an idw that is referencing a very large assembly on multiple pages of the idw.
With the multiple views when I go to create a pdf it says it needs to update the views and proceeds in excess of 4hrs to do 1/6 views.
Is there anyway to speed up this process? possibly use other computers that aren't being used on the network to share their resources? (Is this a possibility like in 3ds Max?)
(Computer has 32 GB memory, Intel Xeon CPU L5520, 64-bit windows.)

I'm drawing a blank, how do I connect a UCS to the existing Origin of a part. I can select the Centre Point to attach the UCS to , but I have nothing the align the X & Y axis to (X Axis and Y Axis in the Origin folder are not selectable)
If I try to add a UCS to a blank part, the ONLY thing I can select is the Centre Point, but the UCS requires 3 inputs!

I tried unsuccessfully to create a lip around a curve surface and there is no flat plane to select for the sketch. Wonder if this could be done in Inventor. My version is 2011.

I am trying to come up with an easy way to input information for basic objects that we need for sales drawings. Is there a way to create a prompt(length, width, Diameter etc.) so when you open the .ipt it pops up? Anything a little more organized than the parameters box? I've done an excel sheet in the past for certain things, but didn't want to carry and excel sheet over for this option.

Trying to create a 3D sweep. I want to keep the sweep parallel to the XZ plane (like a parting surface). In the attached part, there is a SweepSrf3 that has sort of what I am trying to do, but it does not go all the way around the path. Notice how the sweep is parallel to the plane. I tried to do the same thing in SweepSrf4, by selecting the 3D Sketch1 as the path, Sketch2 as the profile, and Workplane2 as the Guide Surface. That failed.
In SweepSrf4, the only way that I could get the sweep to come close to working was to use the 3D Sketch1 as the guide rail and the circle as the Path. Seems like I need to use the circle as the guide rail and the 3D Sketch1 as the path to get what I want... but that fails.

How can I create a hem in a corner? The default setup overlaps them and throws an error. A simple "miter" will correct the problem, but I cannot figure out how to do it!

I can't create a dwg from an assembly because it's telling me that "The factory must be updated before views of it's members can be used". What does this mean and how do you update the factory?

I'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

I have been trying to research how to create a custom surface. I found this article [URL]...... about how to to create a surface from a jpeg. The article says to "expand color on the top left." of the style editor. However, when I open the dialogue there is no "color" that can be expanded. The only thing in the top left of dialogue box is "lighting." Is there another step that the article misses, or is there another way for me to create a surface from a jpeg?

I am trying to create a roller chain as part of a cad drawing of a bicyle.
I created a link of the chain (pic attached) and I am following this video to repeat it as a rectangular pattern : [URL]....
However the links are not following the path they're supposed to - I can't attach that file right now.
Anything that I should do different from the video? I have been using inventor for a little while but I've never used the adaptive stetches or the functions thing ot a rectangular pattern that is not in the shape of a rectangle.

I am needing to create some new parts with miters that will reflect how they will be cut on our tube laser. I have attached a part sample that someone else has created. How to change this into a part that will work for me, so I'm wanting to start brand new.
I am needing the surface of the miter to be perpendicular to the material all through the miter. How would I accomplish this?

I want to create a rule that will warn the user when the plate thickness they are using is not standard. I have already created a multivalue parameter for plate thickness, which lists all standard steel plate thickness's and also allows for custom values.
I was hoping I could create a rule that would prompt a dialogue box warning when the user creates a custom value for plate thickness.
I know this can be done, but like I said, Im bloody useless with iLogic and find it hard to come across relevent examples and/or tutorials online.

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 have a group of Points coming from a step.file. So I don't have their coordinates, excel list or anything else. Just the step file. Around 100 points. There is a line between each 2 consecutive points.
Is there any way to select all the points and create a complete spline? Or even to select all the points and create tangent arcs between all of them?
