AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Text In Part Drawings

Nov 28, 2011

Can we have a better way to create “text” in the Inventor part drawings?

I almost create “text” in every part drawing in different view. I have to create a sketch first, than create a text and dimension the text so I can lock the text in position, otherwise when you move the view and the text will stay in different location.

I had been used “Solid works” for long times. When I need to create a text, just click that view and create a text and the text will stay with that view, whatever you move that view and the text move together.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawings Will Not Update With Part

Oct 3, 2011

I am having some issues concerning updating drawings. When a part (.IPT) is placed in a drawing, everything is fine (ie. the views represented in the drawing are up-to-date). Yet, when I make a change to the part (something as small as a dimensional change) it does not translate through to the drawing. This is also the case for iProperties.

I have been playing around for a while now, but have had no luck. The part is also an iPart, but this shouldn't matter.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part Line Colors In Drawings

May 1, 2013

It's possible to select a part in a view on a 2D drawing and change the color of all the lines belonging to that part.

This is really useful, but is there a way of assigning a line color to the .ipt file it's self, so that every time I place a view of that part the lines are automatically set to specified color?

This would also be useful within a single drawing when there are multiple views of the same assembly. e.g.

Part A would always be drawn in Red, Part B would always be green. This would really distinguishing between parts in complex assemblies. (Which I realise can be done manually but I think it could be done faster with less chance of making mistakes.) Currently, I color all the parts, but then if I make an additional view, the new view is all in black.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Generating Factory Part For Drawings

Feb 12, 2013

I have a C-channel that I bent and then created a i-part of so that I could place both a formed and flat view in the drawing. After creating the drawing it was determined that the channel needed to be longer. Not a problem, open the factory, edit the part, open table and verify, close table and activate both parts, save and close factory. It's all good, until I run a print  and the flat part (-02) of the factory still shows the old length. Next I open the factory, select table and both members and generate. The message " not able to save factory" appears.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Visibility In 2D Drawings - Hide Part Of Assembly

Aug 16, 2011

I want to be able to hide a part of an assembly in one projected view of the 2d drawing but not all, however when I do so the hidden lines stay hidden lines. They do not change. I know you can change the hidden line properties to make them continuous lines but is there a setting that will allow these lines to change automatically?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Edits Don't Show Up In Part Drawings

Apr 5, 2013

What's the purpose of making modeling edits at the assembly level if those edits don't show up in a drawing of the parts? Sure, it makes the assembly look prettier and more true to the final product, but say I make a bunch of cuts, holes, etc. at the assembly level, but then I make a drawing for one of the parts that was affected... those edits don't show up on the part itself, so all those edits are of absolutely no use to me when I need to give the guys in the shop a detail drawing of how to make the part. Why I would make edits at the assembly level?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create IProperty That Becomes Part Of Every Part?

Apr 10, 2012

i.e.,  is it possible to create a custom iproperty which would enable the user to attach a particular attribute to every component within an assembly without manually going through each component.

For example,  If I have a pipework sub-assembly within a manifold assembly.  I want to create a custom iProperty for 'Component Type' which would be called 'Pipework' for every component called up within that subassembly.

Likewise for a frame could you have the above custom property attached to every component but called up as 'framework' instead etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Matching Title Block In Part Drawings To Assembly Drawing?

Dec 5, 2013

I do a lot of work where I start with a full assembly drawing, then make more drawings for the individual parts. Is there a way to link the title block parameters in the part drawings to the title block in the full assembly drawing? The only way I found was to link the parts together and then grab the info for the drawings off of the parts, but if I'm implementing this in a template used by others I want them to still be able to just fill in the blank on the assembly drawing to make it work.

I was able to get iProperties to show parameter buttons, but I haven't seen any way to link to other files or anything like that.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Modify Part Without Updating Linked Parts / Assemblies / Drawings

Nov 12, 2012

I have several parts which I wish to modify, but, those modifications are only being done to get some prototypes made. I do not want the changed (non-approved part) to be used in current issue drawings, assemblies etc. until I have proven the modifications and am happy with them.

I can do this by doing a save as on the part and could just replace the previous design, but then I lose the history of changes/revisions shown in Vault which is critical to me and part of using vault in the first place.

Is there a way to frame a hex or a circle around leader text that can be connected to the to the leader much like a balloon.

I am looking for a way other then sketching a non-connected circle or hex around my leader text.

Solidworks had some thing that allowed you to create your leaded text and then select an option border shape around it.

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 :: How To Rotate Text On Retrieved Dimensions In Drawings

Jan 30, 2012

I frequently use tolerance and fits when modelling and retreive them to use them in drawings. The text on these dimensions is always horizontal .  Any time I have vertical dimension on drawings (e.g. several diameters in a stepped bore) the horizontal text  takes up way too much real estate.  e.g. 18.0000 g6 (17.999 17.998)

I would like to align the text to the dimension lines (i.e. text vertical in this case) In Properties Rotate is greyed out.  Is there a way to keep my retrieved dims and have them aligned with the dim lines in the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Derived Part Using Only Some Features?

Jan 12, 2014

it's possible to create a derived part using only some of the features of the base components i.e. I've got a funny shaped part with a bunch of holes in it, and I need another part with exactly the same shape but totally different holes (location and size)I know you can do this with the different solids in the part (only use some of the solids) but I haven't been able to figure it out with features, if it's possible at all.

I could probably create one base part (just the shape) and derive both parts from that, but then I've got a part lying around doing jack.using IV 11.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simplified Part Error

Jul 15, 2013

I am trying to use Create Simplified part and during the creation process..I downloaded a model of a FD breaker off the Eaton Website in .stp format. I am simply trying to get a .ipt file of the model for my layout model.So the steps I did:

1- Open .stp file

2- Save .stp file as an .iam inventor file (ignore the  prompt box "this is not a part file", that is from my logic rule for a part file)

3- once saved in inventor format, I click the simplify tab, select create simplified part, select a name and directory and press save

4- the .iam saves into a single part, BUT it is saved as sean.ipt, not the part number I assigned earlier and it is saved to the directory C:Users, not the directory I assigned in the dialogue box earlier.

Why does it do this every time I "dummy" down an assembly to a single .ipt file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 / Can Create Part With Different Configuration

Nov 19, 2012

I want to ask if in Autodesk Inventor 2013, can we create a part with a different configuration?

example:I made a cube the size of 10mm x 10mm x 10mm, after which it would be revised measures 15mm x 15mm x 15mm. The second revision to change the size of a 12mm x 12mm x 12mm.
Can all the revision is done in one file?And if I want to revise again be 10mm x 10mm x 10mm, can?

Have I been that provides revision always create a new file and the file number so much that hard to figure out which revision. I am still learning Autodesk Inventor 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Create Weld Build Up Around A Part

Oct 5, 2012

I'm starting with a tube and want to add a weld build up around the OD on both ends. I mainly want to do this so that when I create a sectioned view on a drawing, you can see the difference in hatching between the original tube and the weld build up. I've had to create sketches on the drawing up to this point.

The photo I've attached shows the tube and shape of the weld build up. the green line is where I would like the tube OD to be, and the weld build up would be everything above that.

I'm using Inventor Pro 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Hole Table For A Part

Mar 8, 2013

I need to create a hole table for a part.  I would like the origin to be at the center of the part.  Problem is there is not a round hole at that location.  Attached is a similar part.  The one that I am doing is much larger and has many more holes... this is just an example.

How can I pick this as the origin of my hole table?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Dimension To Create Another Part

I like to change the dimension of the length from 388mm to 400mm to represent another similar part with another part number.  Yet I still need the old part.

What is the easiest way to do so?  When I use 'save as" and then change the dimension, I need to recreate the dimensions in the dwg files.  Is there a way to avoid creating the dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simplified Part Of Conveyor

Aug 6, 2013

I'm trying to create a simplied part of a conveyor. It's not too big yet, just over 7000 occurrences - see attached. Yesterday after about 5 hours I crashed Inventor (2014) and tried again. Eventually I let my PC run through the night and this morning it had completed the task. To save took almost 2 hours, producing an *.IPT of just over 830MB. When I restarted my machine (to free the RAM again) I could not open, getting a serious error.

The old shrinkwraps seemed to work way better. I need to create a "dummy" model which breaks all links to the originals assemblies so no one can tamper with it.

My specs:Inventor Professional 2014, 64 bit edition, I've got an HP Z400 desktop which is a 3.2GHz Processor with 4 cores, 12 GB RAM. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pre-made Saved Text Blocks To Insert Into Drawings?

Feb 2, 2012

Basically we have a number of different procedures that need to be written in each drawing.  Each drawing uses one of 5 or so procedures.  Usually we type it out every time which is a pain or copy paste. We also tried making word documents and inserting them that way but it got a little buggy.  Is there any way to have 5 or so pre made text blocks to pick which to insert onto different types of drawings but that can be global used across a few systems?  

We have a small group of workers all on the vault server.  Basically I just want to be able to have a finished drawing. Click something that will open a list of my pre made text blocks, and insert one into the drawing that I can scale etc. We use Inventor 2011.
