I have Inventor 2014 SP1 and Autocad 2013 SP2 running with Win 8.,1 and I am trying to import my DWG file into my model in inventor. I have followd the instructions, but the options button in the open file prompt is inactive, and when I select the file to open it, nothing happens. Dwg TrueView is installed and is working. I have also right clicked the Inventor icon on my desktop and selected the run as admin option.
View 6 RepliesI am working on a project where I am attempting to design a pendant. I wanted to do this in solidworks but I am not as experience with that and I'm having issues, so I went to what I know, AutoCAD. Unfortunately I am still having problems and I think it has to do with the import file from Adobe illustrator.
What I have is a circle with different parts and block text that I would like to cut out. I saved the illustrator file to a dwg file and it imported with a hatch over all the solid areas. I deleted that to get the respective outlines, and extruded. Most loops extruded but some failed to do so for some reason. But I have an option to convert to a pline, but then I get a specify precision dialog which adds a bunch of points along what seems to be a straight line.
Anyway, when I do manage to get things extruded, and go to perform the subtract command (or intersect which would be faster) I click the main shape, and then click the items I would like to remove, but it doesnt do anything.
I did get one whole to subtract, but I really dont know the difference between that and the others that made it work.
The last time I imported an object that had the .stp format everything worked fine. But now I get an error message. I tried Maya 2011 with out success. It did work on another machine with Maya 2010.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I've upgraded to OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, I begin to see the following issue while trying to import .mts files from my Panasonic GH2 SD cards:
1. LR no longer sees individual files on the SD card. I know that this is because ML has decided to treat all AVCHD-related directories as packages and LR can no longer see the indivisual .mts files from the file system. However, Premier Pro CS6 CAN.
2. Even after copying the .mts files to an unrelated directory, LR is no longer able to import the files. I get the "There is a problem with the video file"
3. The .mts files I previously imported into LR 4.1 with Lion no longer plays inside LR. I see the thumbnail but if I attempt playback I get the "there was an error working with the video" error.
There obviously major compatibility issue with LR 4 and ML in relation to video files. I relies on LR for all my video file cataloging needs - now I am unable to do so. All of this was working just fine with Lion.
I downloaded a trial of Lightroom 4 and went to import my Elements 8.0 catalog.

If I try to import pictures individually, it says that Lightroom already has all my pictures in the Library.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to make an JPG image from an Inventor Assembly in a ASP.NET webpage after loading parameters in the Inventor Assembly.
Before generating the image using ActiveView.SaveAsBitmap() we call the function ActiveView.Fit(), this all works fine in Visual Studio 2010. The complete Assembly fits in the JPG image.
After deploying it as a ASP.NET application in IIS, ActiveView.Fit() only works the the first time/request. After that we have too kill and start the Inventor process.
So the first time when executing in IIS ActiveView.Fit() works, once Inventor is loaded in memory ActiveView.Fit() doesn't work anymore. For performance reason we want to keep the Inventor process open.
We already tried to pause the process after ActiveView.Fit() bij calling Threading.Thread.Sleep(x). This without the wanted result.

When importing Acad files is it possible to imprort without having to fix the sketch in inventor? Meaning, if the Acad drawing was drawn so all the lines attach to another ("closed loop") why is it when I import and select all the layers or (no layers) that i can not extrude the sketch in inventor without always having to fix.
-Redundant points
-Missing Coincident contraints
-Overlapping curves
-open loops
-self intersecting loops
Before importing the autocad file, what needs to be done to the autocad drawing before importing for a flawless sketch so i can just extrude it in inventor?
I have this igs file from my customer and trying to convert it into solid but not been able to do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I first install Inventor, everything works fine, I can preview the DWG when I import it, choose layers and so on. Then with time, this preview doesn't work and I don't know why nor how to fix this.
I had the problem with 2012, 2013 and now 2014. I installed Inventor from the factory design suite advanced (ultimate) and it worked at the beginning. Now I installed SP1 for Inventor and it doesn't work anymore (I'm not a 100% sure that it's related but it's the latest modification I did).
Now I'm trying to fix this. I uninstalled DWG TrueView 2014 and reinstalled it from the downloaded version (autodesk site). It doesn't work.
I uninstalled vault pro 2014 SP1, then trueview, the design review, reboot, install back vault pro client 2014 then its SP1... still not better, the import window preview is still empty and not showing layers.
As I said it's not the 1st time and it happened on previous versions as well. Is there a solution without uninstalling Inventor ? Anyway I'm afraid that If I uninstall Inventor to install it back, I will encounter the same problem as soon as I will install SP1.
DWG TrueView by itself works fine, I can open my drawings (even Inventor DWG), Autocad Mechanical works fine, everything looks OK but this import thing.
To be complete, here what I have installed from autodesk (and i installed it successively) :
Inventor Pro / MDT / DWG Trueview / AOEM View 2009
Inventor Pro / DWG Trueview 2012
Inventor Pro / ACAD Mecha / Navisworks Manage / DWG Trueview / vault pro client 2013 (FDS)
FDS Ultimate / Vault Pro (server and client) 2014
I just tried in 2009 and 2013 and the import works. Now in Inventor 2014 it tells me that the DWG was created by a more recent version of DWG Trueview and that I can't import it.
In the registry editor, the Inventor current version is still 2009 (it should be 2014). I'll reboot my computer and see if it's better.
I'm new to Autodesk Inventor. I found a .obj 3D image that I'd like to import into Autodesk Inventor 2014 Professional. I found FBX 2013.2 on the Autodesk website but was unsure whether or not I should install it. Is it compatible with the suite I have?
If it isn't compatible, is there a program/utility that I could use?

The Edit via spreadsheet option does not work, it will not call up Excel, although it believes that it does. The computer is running Win7 Ultimate sp 1 64, Office Home and Business 2010 sp1 32, Inventor 2012 sp2. The software (windows, office) is up to date, I have done the registry edit that other sites have mentioned.
I will bring up an .ipt, right click on Table, click on Edit via spreadsheet. I will get a circle for a cursor for a moment as if it were processing, then nothing. I right click on it again, and just get the How To option, so it believes Excel is open when it is not.

I picked the ADSK-METRIC-120 to change the hole size from 25 to 120, but the new hole size ADSK-METRIC-120 is RED color and I cannot refresh or finish it. why size 25 worked, but not the 120?

Having problems dimensioning to an apparent intersection in an IDW?
Once I hover over both lines to show the intersect and both line do intersect but it should turn green, it's not, it just keeps yellow.
It is placing the dim in the right place but it's also not drawing in the intersect lines.
It was working last month as I have a drawing to prove it.This is on a few machines.
Also moving dimension is a problem. Sometimes they will not reattach after moving one end.
AIP2011 sp2
Trying to create a gimbal with a supporting frame, an outer square frame, and an inner square frame. when i insert the outer square frame into the supporting frame, i constrain it so that the axis of the hole i have drilled in my frame and the axis of the hole through my supporting frame are aligned, i then constrain a face of it to be a set distance from a parralel face of the supporting frame to centralise it. this works ok, and i can rotate this frame as i like. When, however i insert the inner frame and constrain the axes of the holes drilled through it to the axes of the other holes drilled through the outer frame, and two faces to be a set distance apart, it allows me to rotate my inner frame, but no longer allows me to rotate my outer frame! what have i over-constrained?

View 6 Replies View Relatedyesterday when I clicked on "Derive" while in a part file I would get a browse window to select the part I wanted to derive, after this a prompt would come up that asked if you wanted the part to be a surface or a solid, if you wanted to scale it, etc. For some odd reason today when I tried to derive a part it doesnt come up anymore. After I select the part it just gets inserted and to keep it I have to hit enter or right click and select "ok". Not sure why the prompt stopped popping out, havent changed anything.

When I setup my model for the FEA and hit Automatic Contacts, no contacts are detected .... You can see in the image I posted that Automatic Contacts is greyed out (once applied) and no Contacts are in the the Folder. I have ensured that my assembly contraints are valid and that they are indeed mated (face to face) - see image below. The Manual Contacts will work, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the Automatic one. I have never altered any options or settings within the Simulation. I am using INV 2013 Pro. Most of the pieces in my assembly are 2x2x0.125 HSS (right out of CC).
