Sep 20, 2013I am attempting to add some of our custom extrusions to the content center but want them to act the same way Inventor's "default" files act. By that I mean, if I make a new assembly and pick a piece of Angle, for example, to place from the content center, as long as I choose "as standard" and give it a length, the part shows up without me having to save anything new. I can then copy or drag in a second instance of that same angle, right click it and "change length", and the length of just that ONE changes. In the tree on the right the result is:
-DIN 59 370 S S 10x 2 - 600:1
-DIN 59 370 S S 10x 2 - 2000:1
With 600 and 2000 being lengths. That's standard Inventor behavior with their standard parts. When I try to publish my own extrusion, I guess I don't have the right key columns or something. I place MY extrusion and input a length, etc. Then when I copy it and try to "change length", nothing happens and it is named part number:2 in the tree.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator Multiple Extrusions
Sep 23, 2013I have an aluminum frame system that is comprised of 9 seperate extrusions, what is the best way to handle this? I would like to get a BOM that shows each each seperate extrusion with cut length.
Must I author each of the 9 shapes separately , then separately apply them onto the frame and then adjust each of the end conditions accordingly?
For initial experimentation I created an .ipt in which I have a sketch of all 9 shapes, I extruded them all separately (multibody) then authored the combination of all shapes as one frame gen shape..
This allows me to easily apply the member and create the appropriate end conditions, but does not give me an accurate BOM.

Feb 20, 2013I am using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 and I am currently trying to move some square holes that I made (using extrusions). How can I move these around inside the main extrusion (called Extrusion 1 in the attached design) without changing any of the dimensions etc?
Is there a simple way of selecting them all and moving them, or do I have to do it one at a time?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Negative Extrusions Lead To Mesh Failure?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppressing Extrusions With Ilogic Based On Construction Line?
Aug 7, 2012I am trying to suppress features or Extrusions if the extrusions are outside of the Raduis of a contruction circle Called the OTL. I have added a model to look at. So lets say I have holes enougth for a 40" dia but I want only hole today for a 20" dia how do i suppress the holes on that radius. Sketch 10 is where the OTL contruction line is and its a radius so its always moving as I go from center out.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Created Dimensioning Styles
Feb 27, 2012I needed to create new dimensioning styles - that I can do. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to apply them to a current drawing. In the Annotation section under Format there are no "styles" listed - not even the default.
So, how is one able to populate the list so one may choose a specific style or another? Or, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Holes In Drawing
Jan 25, 2012I have a couple of quick questions about dimensioning holes in drawings .
First, if I have a hole in a rod or shaft so the surface isn't a full circle I get the dimension as a radius. Can I change it to a diameter?
Second, in a model, how do I dimension or measure to the edge of a round rather than to it's center? In SW I could hold the shift key while selecting, is there a similar method here?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Diameter Dimensioning?
Aug 10, 2009I design molds for the rubber industry and I was using Acad 2000; I am just now starting to use inventor. I need to used the ordinate dimensioning although I need the dimension to be given as a diameter and not as a radius. Is there anyway to scale the ordinate dimension automatically as 2:1? This way when I give the prints to the tool room they don't have to manually double every diametrical dimension. The prints that I draw only show half of the mold, there for needing a 2:1 dimension scale.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Angles In 3D Sketches
Oct 4, 2013In the course of working up a tooling proposal, I attempted to replicate a 3D part from a customer print. While doing so, I noticed that 3D Sketch will not, under any circumstances that I can find, allow an angular dimension between a line and a plane. The customer print has two pipes projecting at odd angles from a base flange, one of which has an elbow. The print lists datum dimensions for the open pipe ends and the elbow, and gives vertical and horizontal angular dimensions to define the directions in which the pipes emerge from the flange. I have defined these three datum points in 3D space without any trouble, but Inventor 2013 will not allow me to define an angle between these sketchlines and the XZ and YZ origin planes, or between these sketchlines and the faces of the flange base I've constructed.
I am currently waiting on a proper 3D CAD model from the customer, and I'm considering longhand trigonometric calculations to place these lines properly, but I find it very hard to believe that Inventor is incapable of constraining a line to lie along what is effectively the surface of a cone.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Suppressed Parts
Feb 28, 2012I have created some "programs" to automate drawing creation of some of our most common products. The problem I hav eis with my assembly drawing. When parts are suppressed and unsuppressed, they don't seem to behave the same way that features do. When you dimension a part feature in an idw and suppress that feature, if a week later you unsuppress that feature the dimenensions come back. Parts don't seem to follow this behaviour. If you dimension a part, suppress it, open and save the drawing, then later unsuppress it and open the drawing back up the dimesnions do not come back. Is there anyway for me to get these dimensions to "stick"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Automate Dimensioning Of Drawing Views
Feb 10, 2012Is it possible to automate dimensioning of drawing views?
Here's the situation: I have an Inventor assembly that's controlled entirely by iLogic. My users, who have zero Inventor training/experience (or with any 3D CAD software for that matter), pull up the assembly. They enter product related parameters from paper work orders into an iLogic form and hit a "Go Button". The assembly updates based on the parameters, suppressing and unsuppressing parts, features, patterns, and mates. This works great. They then hit a "Run Job" button. This takes them to an .idw where they fill out another form with order specific information and hit another "Go Button". This then cycles through every detail sheet and the parts list, deleting sheets deeemed unneccessary for the product, generating part numbers, exporting dxf's, generating an excel BOM, etc.
This works great as well. The problem is with the dimensions. They blow all apart when the model changes. I know I can run some API code to delete dangling dimensions, but is there away to programmatically create dimensions so I don't have to rely on my users remembering what needs them? I've played around with using model dimensions, but I find that they stay and remain attached even when their corresponding feature gets suppressed.
