AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simple Mold Using Solid Body And Split

May 14, 2013

if i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?

the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Split A Single Solid Body Into 2 Solid Bodies?

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.

When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:

"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"

When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:

"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."

Or, another variation on this erorr:

"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."

AutoCAD Inventor :: Split Body Into Multiple Parts?

Oct 30, 2013

I have an insert that I'd like to split into several layers. Is it possible to do this with the split tool, or is it limited to only one "split tool" at a time?

In the picture, the wireframe is the 'insert', the letters indicative of cavities cut into the insert. The purple sketch lines would be typical of where the solid part would be split into multiple parts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Slide For The Mold

Nov 19, 2012

How to create a slide for the mold I am designing. I have looked at the tooling tutorials but they are not very useful when it comes to something which doesn't follow the tutorial workflow.

In the case of our product I require that the cavity which has been created to be split down the centre into two halves (essentially the cavity becomes the slides). I have tried a number of methods to achieve this but can't get it right.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sweep Cut With Solid Body

Feb 28, 2011

i used to use Solidwork's sweep-cut with a solid body feature but i can't find it in Inventor now.

Procedure:

In part file;

Create a second solid body (must be axis-symetric, like revolved feature),

Create a path that intersects with the solid (can be a line or a curve),

Sweep the solid along the path with cut command.

I need this where the sweep-cut with a profile is not enough, to get surfaces obtainable by milling on a cylindirical body on a helical path.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Visibility In Drawings?

Sep 6, 2012

I'm making drawings of assemblies in Inventor 2012 and was wondering how to turn off the visibility of specific solid bodies within a single part containing multiple bodies, or make it match the visibility in the assembly and part file itself.

In particular my situation is that I have a camera whose part model includes a solid body for its view cone. The visibility of this solid is turned off, so when opening the camera itself, or the assembly containing it, it doesn't appear, but when I place that assembly or part in a drawing it's included, and the only way I've figured out to get rid of it is to turn the whole camera's visibility off within the drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Assemblies And BOMs

Nov 4, 2011

I've created an assembly by using "Make Components" from a part comprised of solid bodies. If I suppress a feature in the "Control Part.ipt" (the part that holds all the solid bodies) it removed the part from the assembly, but it does not remove it from the BOM. What do I have to do to make the BOM follow what the assembly looks like?

I have a multibody surface part, which is derived from a multibody part. Therefor there are multiple contiguous surface parts  that are isolated from each other.

Is there a way to STITCH or convert one of these contiguous surfaces into a solid part ? 

Note:  I tried the THICKEN tool but the hole features do not come out right. Some holes are missing or the hole depths are wrong.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 - Mold Design / Create Failed

Sep 25, 2012

Starting a new Mold Design. When I try to place my part, I get an error message that says... "Errors occurred during create. Plastic part: Create Failed."

How do I determine what the problem is with my part I'm trying to bring in?  This was a part that was brought in from a .step file, then saved it as a .ipt.  No problems that I can see with the .ipt, but Inventor Mold does not like it for some reason.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Visibility Control In IDW File

Aug 11, 2012

I've created a tie-on-cable marker tag using Loft, Replace Face and Split techniques.  After splitting, I turn off the visibility of one of the two resulting solid bodies.  File A208P03_Label.jpg shows the results with solid body Solid2 visibility either on or off. 

The cable marker tag is then used in an assembly file shown in MI-CA-0261.iam.jpg and a drawing file shown in MI-CA-0261.idw.jpg.  The problem I have is that Solid2 is showing up in the idw drawing file when I'd rather it's visibility be off as in the .iam assembly file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Made Components Orientation

May 8, 2013

I'm currently using the "Make components" feature to convert solid bodies into parts. This works great, but we use this method to construct angular roof structures, and after the parts have been made the parts have angular relationships to the .ipt files UCS co-ordinates. It would be very useful if I could align the longest edge of the part (Which is a timber truss) with the x axis in the model space and "lay" the plank flat on the X-Y plane.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Split Solid

Mar 14, 2013

I have been working for an hour trying to add this split to this part.  I have an extruded surface (ExtrusionSrf10) that I need to use as the parting line.  When I try this all I get is a "Create parting line failed.....Errors occurred during update".

I have done this many times on other parts, this one is being a pain. I need the split to have two solids when its done. The reason that I want this is so I can sculpt out  a portion of this block.
