AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Construct A Curved Tube / Pipe Run

Oct 25, 2012

how to construct a curved tube/pipe run?

I've created a 3d sketch with the run of the tube on it but when I click "Derived Route" although the full 3d sketch is highlighted bugger all happens. There's nothing in the "Included Geometry" folder.

Is it because of the material? I've set it to a "Tube With Bends" and set my default radius.

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Own Tube And Pipe Style

Oct 10, 2012

Currently running inventor 2013 premium still on the free trial until it runs out and i register it.

I am trying to create my own tube and pipe style for a 22mm copper heating pipe run.

I have been through and created the parts and successfully published them into a user contents library.

I start a new tube and pipe run in an assembly. then go manage>tube and pipe styles.

I then hit 'New' i fuill out the details, select my pipe, bend and coupler...everything seems ok, i hit save.

it doesnt appear in the styles selection menu to the left (where it should and did on the tutorial) and whats more when i try and exit or do anything else the 'Save Edits?' warning comes up (clicking save doesnt work) This is the second tube and piping run in this assy. but is a whole new run rather than route.is it a bug? or lack of privileges?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Intersect With And Curved Pipe

Nov 18, 2011

I'm using the Intersect With method with two pipes. The Intersect With method doesn't appear to work with curved pipes if the pipes do not cross. If they don't cross the method works, but if they don't then it doesn't find the intersect points properly. This appears to be an issue with Civil 3D 2010 to 2012 API.

[URL]........

In the screen cast image the pipe on the right finds the intersection point with the straight pipe on the left, but not the curved pipe that is in the middle. I've had poor results trying to put in support requests for API related issues.

For Civil 3D 2010 here's the code that isn't working:

oPoints = new Point3dCollection();
Pipe oLateral = (Pipe)lateralObjId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead);
Pipe oMain = (Pipe)mainObjId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead);

oLateral.IntersectWith(oMain, Intersect.ExtendThis, oPoints, 0, 0);

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text In Linetype In Curved Pipe Is Mirrored

May 30, 2013

I'm trying to set up pipe styles that have a linetype with text in them.   For example ------SFM------.  They work fine for straight pipes.  However on a curved pipe the text goes all funky.  Not only is the text backwards it is also mirrored. 

Is there likely something wrong with my linetype definitions or is that normal behavior with civil 3d pipes?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Creating Elevations / Sections From Curved Solids

Nov 27, 2013

I designed an upholstered furniture with curved surfaces. When I generate sections or elevation I'll see the invisible edges on curved surfaces! Is there a way to get the same result as the object viewer hidden line (or shaded with edges)?

2nd question. is there a way to control how many  steps the surfaces are tessellated? The outline is not very smooth!

I'm trying to create a profile of a pipe.  I have elevation data for the pipe and natural ground I've created a surface from the natural ground then I created and alignment.  Next I created a profile when the profile was completed I  got broken lines and spikes for my pipe not a polyline that followed the natural ground.  I'm at a loss as to how I could fix this and I'm very new to AutoCADD I'm a GIS person.

Photoshop :: Creating Curved Lines Like In

Mar 4, 2008

I'm working on a map and need to have curved lines ending in arrows. When I use the line tool it only makes straight lines. When I use the pen tool it only makes solid shapes. I wish to use a tool that acts like the pen tool in illustrator - will give me a line that I am able to curve as I choose, at the thickness I choose, in the color I choose. I've spent an hour trying different tools to achieve this and no luck. A coworker suggested creating the lines in illustrator then importing them, however that seems counterproductive and I can't believe Photoshop can't do something as simple as making a curved line!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Existing Pipe Network From Objects

I am working on creating an existing pipe network (stormwater) from objects, invert data, size, type and length given.  M

My question is how do I know where the start and end is and if I need to create more than one network for my project.  I have a current project location and I am assuming I am to create a network for the entire location?

I have attached a couple pics for you to see what I am working with at a couple different scales so you can get a good idae of my project.
