AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Multiple Angled Holes In Block

Apr 8, 2013

I need to create a adaptor to go from one 96 hole array pattern to a smaller 96 hole array pattern.  The pattern gets smaller in both X and Y.  This would go from vertical hole to angled hole back to vertical hole.  One or both of the vertical sections could be removable to allow this to be a drilled part.  The center section would be a solid block. 

Since each hole will be at a different angle (in two different planes) it seems like I would need to create a separate plane for each hole and extrude from that plane.  In addition to being error prone, this would take a large amount of time.  Is there an easier way? 

It would be straightforward to create a block with points for the large 96 hole array on top and the small 96 hole array on the bottom.  Is there some kind of point to point method of creating a hole at an angle?  A construction line could be drawn point to point but is there a way to make a hole from that?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembling Parts With Multiple Bolt Holes

Jan 6, 2012

I'm trying to assemble two parts, each of which has four matching bolt holes.So I do a "mate" between a hole on one and a hole on the other.  This works fine, and the parts now behave just like two parts bolted together with one bolt - one can be rotated relative to the other around the bolt hole. So there is one degree of freedom left to be constrained.

But the obvious ways to constrain that one last rotational constraint result in overconstraint. Trying a "mate" between the circles at the ends of the corresponding bolt holes breaks the first constraint, and the non-grounded object "jumps". Trying to auto-mate the two holes results in the holes being constrained as tangent, with the holes not lined up. I've tried constraining the center points of the end circles of the holes. That doesn't work right either.

Doing the second constraint as "tangent-inside" does work.  That's a 1 DOF constraint, which makes sense.It took me a while to figure that out. The help files aren't very useful when multiple constraints are involved.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Cross Dowels Into Multiple Holes

May 3, 2012

I am trying to place a cross dowel into multiple holes. Is there an easy way to automate this? Currently I am placing a cross dowel component and then constraining it to the hole one at a time. Quite a long process to place hundreds of them.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part That Needs Multiple 9mm Gun Drilled Holes To Different Depths

Nov 4, 2013

I am working with a part that needs multiple 9mm gun drilled holes to different depths. The problem I am having is not being able to create a truly custom single line hole callout. Example( DIA 9mm +.50mm -.00mm TO DEPTH 1.25in)

I understand that this isn't a common hole callout but in my situation it is what is needed. The values need to be linked to the part and not simply overridden as text. I am essentially wanting to make a style that I could apply to any hole note that would give the hole diameter a metric dimension and the depth an inch value.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Holes In Drawing

Jan 25, 2012

I 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 :: Mirroring Holes In Drawing

Aug 21, 2012

I have a problem with a model and the drawing. In the model i have mirrored some holes. In the drawing the hole-table shows some of the mirrored holes on the position of the original ones. Also some entries are doubled.

I have also tried to redo a fresh drawing, the problem persists.

I also tried o another system without change. The model is too big to attach, so i attached only a pdf-dok.

AutoCad 3D :: Cut Holes From A Block?

Jul 29, 2012

I need to create a block (10 (x) x 10 (y) x 20 (z) ) start from (0,0,0), and then create a hole (3 units depth, radius = 0.2) at (x=2.1,y=3.3,z =20) go into the block. After that create another hole (2 units depth, radius = 0.1) at (x=10,y=6.4,z=5.5) also go into the block. I can create the block, I also use dynamic UCS to put the coordinate on the face of the block.

However, I don't know how to accurately put the base point of the "circle" on the face of the block. I can only do "Click on the face" to start the base point. This is no accurate at all. I also try to put 3D location instead. In this case, the base point is fine, but the radial direction of the circle always has error.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Clip Images Multiple Holes?

Dec 13, 2011

would I be right in saying that an image placed into a drawing can only have one closed polygon clipping boundary?

Imageclp/ clip/ xclip seems to only offer to choose one polygon as boundary and then I can choose whether the image is displayed inside or outside the boundary (invert clip).

Any methods of masking more than one area of the image?

We don't want to use "wipeout" as this caused issues with certain printers printing the wipeout in pitch black.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Add In Title Block?

Jan 22, 2013

Is there an add in or something for faster type in the title block in a drawing? Name, title etc?

 Right now the author and date are automatically  but when i save the file to for example to "D1234 hammer" it becomes the part number.

I have to edit the title.

I want to save the file to "D1234 hammer" and the partnumber to be "D1234" and title "hammer".

IS there a add-in that I type the title and name and its auto fill the title block? Or do I have to create a custom title block so the drawing can understand to only to take the numbers from <part name> and the letters becomes <title>?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get New Title Block Into Old Drawing

Aug 17, 2012

We are going to be making a new title block and I have been looking at ways to get the new title block into the old drawings.  It looks like the Inventor Drawing and Resource Wizard is the way to go.

The steps seem pretty straight forward and simple but I am not getting the correct results.  For the source drawing I select my new title block and leave the boxes for borders, my new title block name, and sketched symbols checked.  I then pick my drawing I want to get the new title block in.  On the last step I can select Yes or No and get the same results.  When I reopen Inventor and the drawing it still has the old title block in it.

Illustrator :: How To Create Holes Through Multiple Layers

Aug 8, 2013

I'd like to use boxes to punch holes into the layered artwork below them. I want the result to look exactly like this image, but with the white boxes being transparent holes.

This seems so simple, but I can't find any combination of layers/pathfinder tools/compound shapes/or clipping masks that will produce this result. No matter what, I end up losing part of the artwork (usually the topo lines and the black bar).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Positioning Of Points On Angled Plane

Oct 18, 2011

I need to accurately position a point on an angled plane, but the question is how?

I've generated the required planes, the axis to revolve the angled plane around, and of course, the angled plane itself. (See attacment)

I now need to position the point coincident to the generated axis/plane and the angled plane. I have nothing to refer to so I can't project any geometry from any face. (The vee-shaped recess is generated after the slot is extruded and its position is the resut of the breakout against the OD).

How can I do this???

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Retrieve Dimensions On Angled Section?

I am using Inventor 2011. I have recently just dimensioned my entire drawing using only the retrieve command, but now that the angles of my section views have changed the command is not working. In this example you can see section B will allow me to pull up dimensions (not sure why they are not aligned) but section A will not allow to me to pull anything.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Overview Drawing Multiple Assemblies

May 17, 2013

In my company there are a lot of standard parts with variations. An object can have for example a left and a right variation, or can have three a different heights. I've created and iAssembly with the different variations, in which every member has a different part  number. I'd like to make an overview drawing containing all the variations of that object, so the user can easily see the options and can choose the one he wants. On the sheet I'd like to have views of all the different members of the iAssembly, plus a table of all the members with their part number. It was no problem to create the views and the table. But I have two other questions.

1. I want to show the name of the Assembly with the view. So I'd to have in the view a text with the description of the Assembly-member, which is linked with the Assembly. I've tried to use a balloon to tag the assembly, but this only balloons the parts of the assembly. (How) can I do this for the whole of the assembly?

2.When I make an overview of all the columns we use, I'd like to align all the views at the bottom of the view, so you can see that all the columns have different heights, and how they differ in relation to each other. When I align the views with each other, the alignment is done in the middle of the object, not at the bottom. Is there a way to choose what lines of the view must align with each other? Or a way to align the views to a line (for example in a sketch)?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Part Lists In 1 Drawing

Jan 29, 2013

I am currently working on a product where I want to make 2 part lists in my drawing of the same assembly. The first parts list has to view all the parts that are always delivered with our product, and the second one has to show the optional parts and features that could be delivered with the product.

I want both lists to be categorized the same way (comments, material, name), I want the numbers of the list to be chronological (also I don't want the second parts list to start the numbering at 1) and I want both lists to stay connected with their balloons.

Is there any way this can be done, like adding or removing part links to the list manually?
