I am trying to locate the image over the glass surface.
But once picture is located over the glass the Decal command makes my picture transparent.
Is there any way to make it not transparent?
So far it works only with not transparent substrate.

I am running into an interesting problem with the Inventor Export command. When I use the Export command to create a PDF print from an .idw, most of the dimensions are shown with a degree of grayscale. However, when I use the print command and the "Cute" PDF plotter, the dimensions are not grayscale.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble finding or creating an 'appearance' that actually looks like glass. Each of the appearances in the Inventor library and Autodesk libraries are milky and not very transparent at all. I'd like to find or create a material that is almost 100% clear, but reflects the environment.
The transparency slider scales from 0-100% but the results are more like 0-75%.Inventor Studio looks just as bad.I've got to believe that it's not impossible to do without Showcase or 3DS Max.
I have tried all possible “clear” appearances but my glass is not transparent as used to be in previous release. As you can see from video the left glass is clean and it was migrated from previous release untouched. It does not have any material assigned.I was trying to assign the Glass Material to the right one but cannot make it clear nevertheless property claims it 100 percent transparent.
How to make my glass transparent and clear as used to be in 2012?

Is it possible to apply a decal to a curved surface? I need to place an image on a wrapping projector screen. When I try to place the decal, it only will choose 1 of the arcs or one of the straight peices. I need the one decal to stretch over the entire projector screen. I have attached a screen shot so you can see what I am trying to achieve.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a decal for multiple uses and have hit a catch 22.
My needs: A decal of constant size, that can be used on a flat or curved surface (Radii not constant between instances), that will populate in a BOM. I also would like the ability to update graphics in one location that will update all previously placed decals.
Is there any way to have all of these? I have an update able flat decal, placed on an extruded profile, which populates the BOM, but no easy way to apply it to a curved surface.
I would like to avoid creating a separate part file for every radius that this decal could conceivably be placed on. (The count for my current application already numbers 25 radii to match, and along two axis)
Essentially I am hoping for a way to save a sketch as a part file (or some work around that accomplishes the same thing). This would allow for an updateable repeatable decal that can be wrapped or applied to any surface, with the Iproperties to populate a BOM.
We are having a pretty large annoyance where anytime you open a part with a decal, a message comes up saying there is a newer decal, and asking if you want to check out the decal. From digging a little bit I have found that this is caused by the decal being linked to the image. I however have not been able to find a way to break the link on an already created and vaulted part.
If so, how is this link removed?
It doesn't decal around the object. I'm trying to make it look like a basketball hoop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add points into a surface. I have done this before without any problems, but now I am having issues.
When I ID points which makes up the surface it gives me the correct Z level e.g. 24.5m, however when I hover over the surface it shows me the surface name and a different z level e.g. 0.65m. What is the reason for this difference in z levels? I think this may be causing the issue I am having when I add new points.
I select the surface and use the 'edit surface command' in the ribbon, choosing add point.
When I add a point at the level I require(23.89m), it puts it in a lot higher than the surrounding area, so I tried to put the point in to the lower z levels (0.4m) it puts it in a lot lower!
I do have a part with decal feature. I tried to publish it to my library, and I`m getting a error see below.
Is there anithing I can do to avoid this? Is there any way to break a link with the image or other way around?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhenever anyone at the company tries to open a model that has a decal part in it, the File Edit window comes up asking if the person wants to check out the part. As decals generally never change after they are created, they are never desired to be checked out. After saying no to check out, the window then reappears stating that the local is never than the vault, even though you just finished a Get operation. Is there anyway to keep these files from needed constant updating?

I'm modeling a temperature gauge and would like to have glass over the gauge so the inside is visible. I can easily do this with an assembly, but I'm wanting to do this with a single part. I tried to derive a new part from the assembly, but the transparent part turns solid so nothing inside is visible. Is it possible to do this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a stock image of a girl in a dress, and I've dealt with this problem before; part of the background is visible through translucent parts of the dress, and her hair, which cannot easily be fixed with magic wands and with polygon selects. The background is a neutral grey, while the final product will have a mixed green and brown background. (earth, trees, foliage)
Is there a way to make a layer mask based on the degree of a certain color? For instance, the closer you get to this neutral grey color, the more transparent? The way I've solved this in the past involves extremely careful deletes and extremely careful erase-brushes at 2-10% flow rate.
I have several partially transparent GIFs.
I'm trying to layer them all on top of each other.
When I copy one partially transparent GIF and paste it on to the second partially transparent GIF the transparent section turns white and is no longer transparent.
Therefore covering up the contents of the prior GIF.
In short, please have a look at the three attached pictures, I would like to have all three on top of each other showing all buttons.
I have not used Transparent Commands in a LONG time. I'm working in Civil 3D 2012 now. Where are the Transparent Commands?

I'm working with AutoCAD 2012 and I was surprised to find out that after typing: 'CAL "Expression" came up; and from all appearances, you'd think Autocad was awaiting (if not expecting) my input. However, none appeared on screen as I typed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a drawing in Acad 2010 which consist of about 6000 lines. The image is a ship, and I need the drawing to insert in a HMI screen.
Now my problem: The accomedation of the ship is white, as is the background of the sheet. I need the drawing with a black background, but want to keep the white color of the accomedation of the ship. When I change the backgroundcolor of the sheet to black, the white areas inside the drawing will also change into black. If I trie to hatch the white areas inside the drawing the program gives a messages that there are to many open bounderies.
I tried to make a blok of the drawing and move it on a black square, but then again the white areas will turn black.
So for short: How can I make the white areas non-transparent without using the hatch-command?????
how I can add more volume to curved object surface? Say for example I have a plastic cup.You can think of this as cylinder object ,which was the shelled out using the shell tool and then had its base sealed.
Now at certain parts, I would like to increase the thickness and then blend it the rest of the surface(may be chamfer its edges) .
At certain parts on curved surface I would like to add an extra mm, I think if the surface was flat I would just sketch the shape, then extrude it by few mm and smooth the edges by doing a chamfer
But how can this be done on surface that is curved? Or multi curved for edges?
I'm designing a press for a skateboard similar to: Rib Press
I have the board modeled: (see attached)
Now what i want to do is generate those ribs as seen in the picture.
I tried creating a block that intersected with the board and tried to split the rib at the surface, but to no avail. I think the issue has something to do with the curve of the board in two directions, but i can't seem to get it right.
if you are having trouble visualizing what i'm asking about, look at this. I want to be able to figure out the exact shape of those center ribs to print and eventually cut out of wood.
