AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Plane At The Angle Of Shape

Oct 25, 2012

I am trying to create two plane's one after the other like it is done in this video tutorial.

[URL]........

My problem begins with me only having 1 point on the part to pick for my 3 point plane command. In the video there is no bit where you are supposed to create a point but I'm thinking I wont be able to duplicate without doing something like that.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Plane And Mirror Solid?

Nov 5, 2012

create a plane and mirror a solid?

I am planning to have the following workflow:

Plane creation:

Through the z-axis and at an angle of 7,5° to the XZ-Plane

Naming the plane - Mirror Plane

Turning off the plane visibility

Mirror solid:

Add mirrored solid to the existing solid

Here is a sample ao the code...

Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oCol As ObjectCollection
oCol = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection

'This does not work...

oCol.Add(oDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies(1))

'Here I want to create a new plane

Dim oPlane As WorkPlane
oPlane = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes(1)

Dim oMirror As MirrorFeature
oMirror = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.MirrorFeatures.Add(oCol, oPlane, False, kOptimizedCompute)

I have also attached a simplified part file where the code has been copied inti the iLogic browser

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Plane In Assembly Linked To 3D Geometry

Sep 24, 2012

On one part, I have a bore hole drilled on a curved surface so the hole is actually an ellipse.

Now the other part I am trying to constrain together is the pipe that will be welded into the bore hole; so that is a simple circular pipe.

The issue is that the pipe has to be inserted 0.25" above the interior of the bore hole to allow for room for the weld. In order to do this I have tried to create a plane attached to the 3D ellipse and then constrain the pipe to be 0.25" above that plane. The problem is I cannot seem to create a plane attached to the 3D geometry; I cant even find a way to attach points, or pick the center point of the bore hole.

How to create a plane on 3D geometry and link it to said geometry. I'm using 2012, if that is necessary information.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Symmetric Pattern Of Components Equally Mid Plane

Sep 14, 2009

I'm using Inventor 2009.

Imagine a flat, rectangular plate with origin plains located symmetrically down the middle of the plate. Place a component, say a small cube, and constrain it to the face of the plate and the origin planes so that it too is symmetrically located. I now wish to pattern this cube about the midplane and create a total of five instances. I select "Pattern Component" in assembly mode and select the cube. For direction 1, I put in two instances and select an edge of the plate so that the pattern is taken to the left of the midplane. For direction 2, I again select two instances but pick an edge so that the pattern is taken to the right of the midplane. I now should have a total of 5 cubes but I don't. I have 6.

The second pattern is actually a repeating pattern of the first which, in the end, creates too many cubes. Visually, it looks correct because the cubes are placed excatly on top of each other. Numercially, like in BOMS, it is not correct.

Is there a way to avoid these duplications?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Best Way To Create A Workplane At Angle On Tube Surface?

Aug 1, 2013

What is the best way to create a workplane at a given angle on the surface of the tube. Imagine the workplane long and thin running along the surface of the tube. The angle will be a parameter (from a sketch or user).

I'd like the workplane to always be on the surface of the tube, even when the diameter of the tube (from a dimension in a sketch) changes.I'm thinking that a (angled) line in the same sketch as the two circles (which define the tube diameter and thickness) would be a good starting point.

AutoCad 3D :: 3DMIRROR Command To Mirror Magenta Box Along Zx Plane Defined By Middle Of Steel T-angle

Nov 13, 2013

Why can't I get the "3DMIRROR" command to mirror the magenta box along a zx-plane defined by the middle of the steel T-angle?

First, I use the ZX option, and after that fails to work, I try the 3-point option using a picked first point and two ortho-points to define a zx-plane.

Also, there's some randomness in the sense that some of the time the exact same series of steps will produce the correct result, but not this time, as the video below shows.

I'm also attaching the drawing in AutoCAD2010 format.

3ds Max :: Making Angle Of Gizmo Appear When Rotating Plane With (e)?

Mar 16, 2011

1. How do I make the angle of the Gizmo appear when I'm rotating the gizmo plane with 'e'?

2. Also, how do I rotate the gizmo itself, so that i can rotate it in any ambiguous axis as well if I wanted to.

For example, let's say I'm slicing a hollowed box usnig Shell modifier. I want to cut the box diagonally. I make the slicing plane vertical using x rotatin axis (red) at perfect 90 degrees (this is why I want to see the angle displacement when rotating a gizmo), then becaue I want to cut it vertically, I rotate the plane on z rotation axis (blue) 45 degrees. Now, I want this cut to be slanted. That means I have to change BOTH x and y axis with equal amount to achieve symmetrical cut I want. ("5 snaps of rotating the slicing plane on x axis and y axis" something like this)

What I want is change the orientation of the gizmo itself so that x or y rotation axis becomes the angle I want the box cut to be slanted at.

3. I've been using 3ds max for rendering most of the time, and didn't really have time to ask myself, why is it such a pain in the a** to get the correct effect I want from max? Viewport and renderd product doesn't match at all for me. Rendering should be just a way of making the viewport image much prettier, not turning garbage into an artwork. Because of the difference between the viewport and renderd image, I constantly have to do test render at 320x240 to see how it looks.

When I say the two doesn't match, it includes but not limited to:

-Lighting Both daylighting system and artificial lights(photometric/standard)
-Intensity
-Shadow casting accuracy
-Material

Scale mismatch of rendering and viewport.

-Color
-I'm guessing it may be because of the lighting that the colors are very off.
-Unexpected glow on my model from other surrounding objects.

Sketchup or Rhino shows vaguely how it's going to look when it's rendered, just poor quality. Why is it so not intuitive in max?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Work Axis Where Work Plane Intersects Curved Surface?

Sep 9, 2013

I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part.  I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.

How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?

Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?

I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.

The attached jpg shows the intersection in question.  I circled it.

Currently the product is produced using 4 panels brazed together. I want to create the product with 2 bent panels 90  degrees that are split apart from the loft.

Not sure if this even possible in the real world sheet metal house to develop the flat pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Quickest Way To Create Part That Starts Off As Basic Extruded AISC Shape?

Dec 10, 2013

I am new Inventor user (2014 version) trying to get up to speed on best practices and the most efficient work flows. I find myself designing individual parts that start off as base AISC shapes (angles, square tubes, rectangular tubes, etc.).  These are parts that start off as base extrusions that then have multiple machining operations performed on them.  In most cases, the parts are stand along parts that aren't involved in any type of frame.

In these cases, I generally sketch the profile from scratch using my AISC book and then extrude.  I'm sure this is silly.  Frame generator already has the profile data built in- so why am I sketching these profiles from scratch?  But using frame generator in an assembly environment to make a single member part seems silly to me also.  Why should there be an assembly file at all?  I just want a single part that starts off as some length of some standard profile.  Using frame generator in an assembly environment seems like overkill.

What is the best practice for starting off a part with some length of a standard ANSI, ISO, or other profile?
