I am using Inventor 2012 and I am trying to create a circle from a solid drawing I have done, I am creating a 3D drawings of a pressure seal, but I don't know how to go about making this block into a circle with a Diameter of:-
OD 899.8
ID 873.6

I have attached what I have done so far. I think I need to keep it in sketch to do this though?

I'm having trouble creating a solid from different surfaces.
I already tried the surface stick, but it seems that it is still not a solid. (How can I check this?) The part is still yellow. If I try to apply the sculpt feature it says:
Modeling failure: A valid body cannot be constructed based on the selected inputs.
It 's a quiet complex shape. You find here: [URL].....
My issue is we have Universal assemblies that never change. These assemblies are thousands of parts. (hardware gaskets other random assemblies.) this top level universal assembly never changes.
to increase time in layouts. we would like to create these universal assemblies into 1 sold part.
Is there a was to export an assembly into a single solid part.
Is it possible to make a linetype with a circle that is hatched solid? I made a shape file of the hatched circle, created a line type with a distance of 15 feet and when I change a line to the newly created linetype my linetype looks I just created a dot line type.

I'm trying to draw an object in 3D view, but I'm having trouble creating a circle in the Z direction. I know how to make circles on the X-Y plane but I can't figure out how to make one in the Z direction!
I'm making I attached a picture so you can see what the object looks like, and more or less the "3D circle"! I also attached the actual AutoCAD file that I'm working on. (The dimensions are 1:10)
I'm using AutoCAD version 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."
I am making a design on inventor 2013 for a colleague who does not know how to use the inventor.
I want to make the solid and then set something up that allows the user to change a few of the parameters of the solid in a very user friendly way (i.e. a box that says "cylinder radius" and has an input box so the user can enter a value).
what is the command shortcut for creating circle from tan tan tan method????
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to cut out a logo from a 3D solid. Essentially the thing I'm trying to 'cut' is a box, simple. However, the logo I has is reasonably complicated and a conversion to DWG from an Illustrator file.
I have tried creating the whole thing as a surface, no luck
Tried exploding it into both lines, polylines and splines, no luck
The nearest I get is a long winded way round. Im having to joins the splines, then convert to polyline, then convert to surface, then thicken the surface. This would be ok, but there's lots of text and so on.
I just wondered if there's a simple way of doing it that I've missed? Such as "cut these 2D lines out of this 3D shape" command and then delete the sliced out pieces I don't want.

I'm trying to create a solid body from a non uniform 3d frame Actually I bought this model and it turned out to be hollow inside. How to make it a complete single solid body? [This model is a part of human bone]
I have the 3d model of a ship, but it has no surfaces or solids, just lines. I want to create some solids based on those lines.
It's better if i attach the dwg to the post and explain what i want to do:
- in the file attached there are some lines marked with red and blue
- i want to create a solid/3dobject by extruding/lofting the red lines along the blue lines.
In the drawing only a few lines are colored, for better understanding. I tried with loft, but it only creates some surfaces. The point is that i need a solid or a 3d object.

My ultimate aim for this small drawing is to convert it to an .STL file. For this the shape needs to be a solid or watertight mesh. I've attached the drawing in CAD - it's very basic! I just want to create a solid shape, using the surface, with a flat base up to the lines drawn on. Or even just a surrounding mesh so that the shape can be exported as a .STL. I just can't figure out how to do it!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am in need of creating a solid drawing from my wireframe drawing in model space. I have never done any 3d modeling in autocad before it took me a few days just to get the wireframe of a staircase done! I have tried to render this object in viewport but it disappears after I click on it or move around, therefore I cannot see it in my paper layout. How do I make a rendered object stay? Also I want to plot this on 22x34in and 11x17in paper, how would I go about getting a high quality rendered image. I am using autocad 2010.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a surveillance camera effect which I know how to do, but I want to draw on my base image, a white frame that you see in a viewfinder of a video camera. So the border/frame if you like is solid white probably about 10 pixels wide but not round the very edge of the photo.
How do I create this quickly?
I have seen photos where the background is black. Is it possible to do this with Photo Pro X3 Ultimate? If so, how? I'm retired (read as "older" and not as sharp as a younger person) and new at digital photography.

View 9 Replies View Relatedmy 2014 inventor crashed and since then when I try to dimension a circle, I get a small "half circle" icon and it dimensions the half circle instead of a diameter or radius. Is there a setting that has changed when I crashed? I cant right click to get any dimension options.
It seems that the diamter dimension works on other things. the part im trying to dimension is a frame generator part. I have dimensioned off of these with no problem.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to highlight connector cutout details on a panel using the circular detail feature.
The views created are fine, however the detail indicator, the circle with arrows and identifier clutter the face of the object. If i could turn them off i would then use a leader to point to the detail instead, which in my case will be much neater.
How do I place a hole on a circular part at a specified distance from the edge. This works on other parts with straight edges, but there is no option to do so on a circle.??
