AutoCAD Inventor :: Cut Coil Feature Out Of The Block
May 17, 2012How to cut the coil feature out of the block. I have included the file. I thought the split command would be it but was not able to do anything with it.

I made a coil with taper. Now I want to make a drawing with that taper, but I don't know how to do that.

I need to make a round coil that rotates along a hexagonal path, so that looking at the coil from the top you see the hexagonal shape.

Working on a simple cylinder with a coil runing around the outside of it. For some reason the mesh does not handel the geometry correctlly - can figure our why - any thoguths ? Attaced are pics from the meshing and the model.

A user just point out to me that when making a coil with 12 revolution is OK but 13 is really wrong.
tube Ø54x2 mm
Øcoil = 800 mm
pitch = 55 mm
Is there a patch for that?
I have a unique part that needs to be generated in IV. It is a sping that follows a curved path (see attachment). I do have complete information, just need to draw it in.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a coil which from above, retains equal and thus parallel pitches whilst at the same time adheres to a semi-circular form in the cross section. You can see from the images attached that the first two revolutions are larger than the semi-circle outline.
These are the values I have used:
Cylindrical
r (t): 134.56924424045517662353735770102mm * t * 0.5
q(t): 1 deg * 360 ul * 3.0 ul * t
z(t): 10 mm * 6 ul * 0.5 ul * t * (1.5 * t) * t
tmin: 0 ul
tmax: 0.916 ul
I've read the posts pertaining to coil features along curved paths. The existing solutions are limited in that they must rely on a solid with the addition of a bend feature. How can I create a helical surface structure including multiple bends like the one shown?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to unfold a coil shape to get the flat pattern? When I try to unfold the attached part I get an error message (see attached error_msg.jpg). We have been using AutoPOL to unfold these kind of shapes (which works fine). But since we have a very old version which we really need to upgrade, I was wondering if nowadays Inventor could handle coil unfolds.
If this will not work with the current IV2013 release, will this then be implemented in a future release? Are there any alternatives or should I just go for the AutoPOL upgrade?

I have generated a gear set using inventor. Now I would like to 3d print the gears. I have uesd the export tooth shape to get the true tooth profile. now I am attempting to use the coil feature to generate the helical tooth. The problem im running into is in the coil tool I can only give it a Revolution and height dimension. The hight is the width of the gear, but I am having a problem converting the helix angle to the "Revolution" perameter. I have read other posts and they say that it is Helix angle / 360. I have tried that and then compared it to the original gear generated by inventor and it is not even close. I need to do this on in internal gear and match it to an external gear.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know it can be done but have had little luck finding how. I need to Convert GIS features to an engineering friendly cad file and I'm stumped at the point of assigning blocks to the points.
Also another issue is that I would often need to assign those blocks based on field values. Noob questions I know but it's my one critical step I've not sorted out.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to draw an elliptical coil spring with top and bottom radius of 2 in and center radius of 3 in with 5 turns and spring ht of 5 in. the wire guage is 0.1in.
I could draw a cylindrical spring with helix and sweep command but don't know how to draw an elliptical coil spring. What are the commands or steps to get it. Also, I have problems in getting dimensions of radius and height for the coil spring. I use autocad 2014.
I'm trying to create a coil spring to go around a long bolt for bracing. I'm using AutoCAD 2011 MEP. I need to know how to make the path for the spring so I can sweep it, it does not have to be super accurate size-wise (it's more for representation purposes) but would still like to know how to do it..

I have all of the helixs made to replicate the wire wrapping around the bobbin of the coil but i cannot figure out how to get the helixs to blend together smoothly.

On one of my layers I have started getting "Feature was not saved in the target feature source" when I try to check in my data. In total there are 308 errors in the data table, all of which were features I deleted. They all have a featID of null and I cannot remove them from the data table. I need to fix these errors without going back and starting over.

Here's a clip from the Autocad documentation:
To allow labels to obscure points on the selected layer..In the Display Manager , select the point layer. Click the Style button.In the Style Editor, click Allow Other Labels To Obscure Feature Symbols On This Layer.
I'm trying to use the cut across bend feature on a sheet metal part. However, when I check cut across bend, it grays out all of the other cutout options, and only has thickness as the only option. This is perplexing to me, because I can't think of too many times I'd need this option other than when there is more than one thickness of material I need to manipulate the profile onto.
I was to understand that this "cut across bend" is for use similar to the "normal cutout" command in solid edge? Keeps the cut perpendicular to the sheet face in a sheet metal part.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to both flip and mirror (or pattern) a feature onto the opposite side of a rectangular extrusion.
For example (assuming a rectangular solid extruded in the Z dimension), I have two counter bored holes on the top surface of the solid aligned with the X axis and I would like a copy of those holes on the bottom surface but aligned with the Y axis. If I pattern the holes rotating them 90 degrees and then attempt to mirror them, I can only select all four or the two originals. Is there any way to disassociate the rotated copies from the originals while still retaining control over their dimensions from a single sketch?

Creating feature edit dialogs? I currently have working program that creates a custom pocket/cavity but I'm having trouble with the User Interface and setting up a solid structure to handle events.My goal is to mimick how the "add hole" dialog works by having the following attributes:
- Ribbon button to bring up dialog
- Dimensions update when the dialog text boxes are updated
- Right click menu to edit existing features
- Existing dimensions and other properties are loaded when the dialog is used to edit existing features
So far, I have my classes structured this way:
AddinServer (handles loading and unloading the command) ->
CavityCommand (defines the buttons and containes event handlers) ->
CavityFeature (wraps up multiple identicle cavities into one client feature) ->
Cavity defitions (draws individual cavities using more specific classes)
