I want to make some icopy tools to suit my needs, i did the tutorial i've found on AUGI "an icopy how to" and then i did a glass panel using the technique i learn there. Everything works fine until i place the icopy on a different plane than the x, y plane.
when i place it in other plane it the icopy behave in strange way. I had this problem since the first icopy test i made and i can't find why it doesn't work.
is there any way i can use iLogic code to set the "Instance Number" and "Offset" of an iCopy feature i have in my drawing?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe get our clients acad drawings of the layout of the ceiling. Normally we use it as xref in acad. Now that I have placed the acad drawing in an .Ipt and placed them in a. Iam like you see in the files I sent. Then i place the panels with iCopy.
Now it happens that the layout drawing changes and I get a new acad drawing. I then replace it with the already placed drawing in the .ipt. This is fine until i update the .iam and then i get alerts that the constraints are no longer correct because the geometry is no longer be found.
What I can do is change the sketch in the .ipt but that is then done manually with the possibility of errors. Now my question is if you know a way to replace the drawing in the. Ipt and update so that the constriants stay correct in the .iam and the panels will change with the drawing?
I instal form SDK User Tools because I need in Inventor Drawing Tools (Revision cloud). I do this install like on website Autodesk show and I didn't get it on ribbon. I do also registry of this plugin but I also didn't get it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a proposed grade surface using the grading tools. I drew the outline boundaryof the proposed surface as a closed polyline then created a feature line from it and assigned different elevations to it. When I try to select the feature line in order to create the grading, I get "THIS FEATURE OVERLAPS ITSELF AND CANNOT BE GRADED". What could be a possible reason for this?

I cannot seem to install the SDK Drawing tools with Revision Cloud. When I click the msi file, the installer says it was successful, but I cannot find it on any INV ribbon and it is not shown in the list of available add-ins in Add-In Manager. Really need that revision cloud!

How do i make this shape with sheet metal tools .Also how to press the groove starting in the metal at the begining of the bend and continuing through to the end of the bend at the opposite side.Would not even know how to start this part in sheet metal with Inv.2012.
Do i get the metal sheet and use bend to make the sides?
I have a question for all the mold designers out there! How do you control the number of side actions when designing multi impression tools?
I recently completed a job for a customer where the requirement was to have a 2 impression tool with one side action to control both of the impressions. I found that if you pattern a part within the mold design environment and then apply a side action, the side actions would be copied to each of the patterned parts. I have created a test part to try and illustrate this (which is way out of size and proportion!):- Even if I combine the inserts, I still get the same effect.
How to get the 'Shape to Block' command to work (under express tools).

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an interactive board with tools (such as pen or eraser) which I want to integrate with the AI. The typical scenario woulld be as follows: the user lifts the pen from the tray, the pen event will me mapped into selecting Pencil Tool from AI toolbar after which the user can add freehand annotations to the AI document.
Is there an API which would allow me to map abailable hardware tools with relevant AI tools? Is there an example which would demonstrate such integration?

There are also a few other express tools that when picked from the ribbon menu, do not work either. Now, I have seen elsewhere on the web that in this case, you should make sure there are no search paths set to R14 Bonus tools (which mine aren't), or repair and update express tools from add/remove programs in the control panel. I did this, and the only thing that happened was the numbers after SUBR@ changed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm recently using inventor a lot. But now IM try to make a .IDW template with my own line styles and thickness and stuff. This is what I do:
I open an exciting IDW file. I go to manage and click style editor. Then I create a new style. Called test style. I make sure I activate my new style and I go to layers, where I change the line weight from 0.51mm to 0.25 mm (example)
I save my change and close style editor... After that I save my copy as template (called test 6-1) and close the drawing. I open inventor and create a new file. Select the template I created. I get this style conflict.... I don't fully understand this error... How can I fix this problem?
When my new template opens, I check the line weight by the style editor but the weight detente change... Its still 0.51 mm.
I have searched this forum for a way to create 3D pdf files directly from Inventor or other "free" software but have not found anything that works very well. Today I found an answer, it is by using the Bentley Viewer. I had to "Save Copy As" my Inventor .iam file to "AutoCAD DWG Files.dwg". Then open it up inside the Bentley Viewer, go to the "Print pdf" button and select the "Print to 3D" button. It will even show some colors.
