AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Values Incorrect On Drawing?

Sep 6, 2013

I'm using Inventor 2013.  I created an assembly where I did a lot of top down modeling (meaning components in the assembly were created in the assembly.  All but a handful of the components are adaptive to other components).  When I went to make my drawings for having the components made, I started noticing that some of the dimension values were wrong.  I could go into the model and verify the features, but when dimensioning on the drawing it would not match.  Furthermore, this didn't occur on every dimmension on the drawing.  Not even half of them were incorrect, but it only takes one to really mess up a part.

I've attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing.  The 15.2 and 5 dimmension are correct, but obviously those don't add up to 31.37.  I know I can manually override this dimmension, but only if I know to do it.  I tried to do a drawing of another part in the same assembly and eventually found a similar problem. 

Finally, I created a step file of the 1st part (to strip away the adaptivity) and when I created the drawing again, the problem went away.

My question is, is there something I did in the assembly / creation process that would have caused this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Standard Geometry With Multiple Dimension Values?

Jan 27, 2012

I am currently endeavoring to translate some (very) old print drawings of standard geometry used by my company to electronic format with Inventor. Many of these standards include a matrix of certain dimensions (noted by a letter variable on the drawing, such as "A") and what their values should be, given the required size of the geometry's main feature, like the cross section of an o-ring that is supposed to go with it. Is it possible to build such variable/multiple value dimensions in Inventor and have a corresponding matrix printed on the drawing with it?

AutoCad :: How To Change Whole Drawing To New Dimension Values

Oct 8, 2010

I have a complete gearbox drawing from a previous work and I would like to use it again but with different dimensions.
If I edit the dimensions and enter different values its not enough because when I hit the inquiry tab and dimension, obviously it will be the old measure value.

My question would be how to change the whole drawing to a new dimension values? I think there is no need to redone the whole gearbox again with new dimensions. My drawing is in metric (millimeters).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Recently Used Values / Parameters In Dimension Dialog / Width Parameter List

Jan 10, 2012

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.

Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

AutoCAD Inventor :: WriteDataToFile Outputs Incorrect Drawing Sheet Titles While Writing To DWF

Apr 26, 2013

I created a Multi Sheet drawing file.(.idw)While the file to DWF format with WriteDataToFile, the Title Block shows wrong Sheet number.For a 5 Sheet drawing, the output DWF files contain following Titles:

1 of 2
2 of 3
3 of 4
4 of 5
5 of 5

Whereas expected titles should be:

1 of 5
2 of 5
3 of 5
4 of 5
5 of 5

Interestingly, if I create a multisheet Drawing and Activate all sheets one by one before saving it.The DWF files outputted show correct Titles.Hence in the first case, I used Activate() on all sheets before writing them with WriteDataToFile. But could not get correct Titles.

Photoshop :: Incorrect Pantone Plus Values In CS6?

Jan 23, 2013

There is a noticeable difference between color values specified in Pantone books/Color Manager and CS6. For instance, the correct RGB value for Pantone 158 CP should be 228/126/26, whereas Photoshop's RGB value for the same color is 245/127/41.
 
I have a subscription to Creative Cloud and all applications are up to date. When will this be fixed?

Photoshop :: Analysis Measurement Gray Values Incorrect?

Jun 23, 2013

I'm trying to use the Image Analysis functionality of PS CS6 to obtain brightness levels from an image.
 
To test the "Gray Value" measurment, I've created 11 patches from 0%-100% in 10% increments. I used the fill tool (Shift-F5) and specified values using H=0, S=0, B=<percentage_value (0-100)>.
 
The respective RGB components of the generated patches are exactly as expected (255*percentage_value).
 
The measurements obtained through "Record Measurement", however, do not agree, with the exception of the 0% and 100% extremes, which are reported with 0 and 255, respectively.
 
Inbetween, there is disagreement which rises from 0 @ 0% to the highest (5 @ 50%) to then decrease again to 0 @ 100%.
 
Here is the series by which the reported Gray Values are too low (from 0% - 100%): 0, 3, 3, 4 4, 5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0.
 
How come?
 
I've tried removing colour profiles (to exclude gamma encoding issues) and using different colour spaces and/or models, with no change in behaviour.
 
All my patches are pure gray so there shouldn't be any problem with unexpected colour weighting.
 
One funny observation I've made is that even though the patches are a 100% homogenous, PS reports different miminum and maximum values. For instance for the 50% brightness patch (RGB triples of 128, 128, 128), the report is MinVal=123, MaxVal=124, MeanVal=123.934809.
 
Clearly, the value for all three aspects should be the same, and I expect the value to be 128.
 
I'm using PS CS6, Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x32, on Win 7.

AutoCad 2D :: Occasional Incorrect Dimension In Paper Space 2013

Feb 13, 2013

I have an odd thing going on with my dimensioning in ACAD M3013. I did not have this issue in any previous version.

I will set it up: all objects are drawn in Model Space. All drawn 1:1 scale. All annotations such as titleblock, notes, dimensions, etc is done in Paper space. We never do it differently. Viewports are created in Paper Space to a traditional scale, sometimes "custom". ACAD already knows the scale of my viewport, so when I go to dimension, all the dimensions are already correct. I have gotten spoiled in fact that they are correct. NOT ANYMORE! ccasionally, about 3-4 times a week, a dimension will be incorrect, like to an inproper scale. It only happens for a few of the dimensions in any given viewport. That is to say, in one viewport, dimensions will be scaled differently giving the incorrect value. I avoid picking objects in Paper Space to determine my Dim origins, but just picking a feature may give the wrong results. Happens with all 3 machines in our office.

Surely there are unimaginable variables to check and change, but this seems random and feels like a problem with ACAD.

AutoCad :: 2D With Third Dimension Values For Objects?

Aug 10, 2012

I was told by a customer that he has AutoCAD 2D but that their platform also contains supplementary information regarding the "third dimension", for places, objects, etc ...

If this seems possible to you with AutoCAD 2D, I am wondering where all these data could be accessible for transfering the DWG, including the 3rd dim data, to external platforms ? (in our case 3D virtual worlds) ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Dimension Drawing Views

Aug 31, 2012

I am using Inventor 2013.  For some reason I cannot dimension some of the model entities in the drawing views in an idw file.  I can retrieve the model dimensions but it is usually easier to create the dimensions I need in each view.  I can select the line, curve, etc. when dimensioning but nothing happens.

After I think about it.  What I cannot dimension are lofts that I created with rails.  These rails were made up of lines and curves, not polylines.  How do I get the sketches for the rails I used for lofting to display in the drawing views so I can dimension those sketches.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Ellipse Drawing Feature

Jul 26, 2012

I'm trying to dimension an ellipse in the Inventor Drawing Feature. I've attached the .idw files. (the .ipt is too large)I am aware that the ellipse doesn't have a constant radius and was wondering what is accepted practice for these dimensions?

I need to first dimension the external elliptical shape (which I'm struggling at), might just add a note.

Secondly I'm trying to dimension the mesh part, its not centrally align to the part and since I can't put a center mark on I'm not sure how I should dimension this...

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Overide A Dimension On Drawing

May 17, 2012

So my problem is that  I need to include a line on a part drawing that isn't related to the part itself. I need to be able to override the dimension of the line I sketched so that I can include it in my drawing and update the dimension without having to change anything else on the part.

Basically, I want an iLogic rule to overide a dimension, and I don't know how to do that.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Dimension Of Beam With Two 45 Deg Cuts

Sep 20, 2013

I have recently drawn a steel construction, and I am now in the process of making the drawings. A problem that occurs is the length of beams used for bracing. When I click the two outer points, the lower dimension in the drawing appears. This is the length of the line between the two points. To be able to dimension properly, I have made a sketch with a straight line, which is perpendicular to one side of the beam. This has been used, with the point on the opposite side, to find the true beam length (and is showed as the upper of the two dimensions in the picture).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Styles - Select Dimension Type For Whole Drawing

Jan 19, 2012

We have created one Style, but within this Style are two Dimension types (Dual and SIngle)

When a drawing from a model is created it defaults to the Dual Option and we can only select the Single Dimensions by individually selecting the Dimension and editing to Single Dimension, which can be time consuming.

Is there a way to select the Dimension type for the whole drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Dimension In Drawing To New Point / No Snaps?

Oct 9, 2013

I seem to recall being able to do this in 2013...

Say you've dimensioned something but end up wanting to change the dimension definition points...drag the end point to another location that you want dimensioned.

I thought it used to snap to a new location, but now it will not. I have to redraw the dimension (including all text I added).

Here is what I get when I try to move the dimension definition point:

Here is what I get when I try the auto-reattach feature in "repair". Still nothing to snap to.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IV 2012 / Cannot Edit General Dimension In Drawing

I cannot edit a dimension that I add to a drawing, IV simply ignores my request when I select Edit from the shortcut menu. This is not a retrieved dimension.  My only workaround has been to edit the dimension properties in the part file to display as I would like on the drawings.

I've checked the application options, under Drawing tab, I do have "Edit dimension when created" checked, yet IV does not display the edit dialogue box upon initial creation of the dimension.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Within Drawing View Loses Dimension Reference?

Jan 14, 2013

I have a VB program that auto updates the size of a door and frame assembly, and in turn, updates the shop drawings to reflect this change.  I have a view on my shop drawing that I have drawn a sketch in.  I start the sketch, add my dimensions, and I use 'Project Geometry' to project the edges of the actual part around the sketch to constrain my sketch and keep it in place.  The problem is, as the program runs, and the door/frame changes height, the sketch loses it's dimensional references to the projected geometry.  When I go back and reopen the drawing after running the program, all the dimensions that went to the projected geometry are gone. 

Is there another way to anchor a sketch to a drawing view part instead of dimensioning to projected geometries?  This doesn't seem to be working, and I've tried it every which way I can think of.  Oddly enough, I have another sketch in a different view that is set up the same way, and it never misses a beat.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Dimension On Drawing Document Between Two Parts In Assembly

From a VB.Net program, I'm trying to create a dimension on a drawing document between two parts in an assembly. I can get the parts using component occurrence. The line marked below throws the following error: The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).

As you may see, I have allocated memory for both "Edge" and "Face" (Dim oEdge1 As Face) albeit one is commented out. Attached is the screen shots from the attribute helper add-in. In it, you will notice that the attributes are of type: "Face".
