AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Of A Mirrored Part
Dec 20, 2011
I have a sheet metal part with a fully dimensioned drawing made for it. I then make a mirrored (derived) part out of the original. Is there an easy way to get a fully dimensioned drawing of that mirrored part?
I have tried making a copy of the original parts drawing and then replacing the model that is referenced in the drawing but that just gets me a drawing with a bunch of pink dimensions and I have to drag all the dimension points to reattach them.

I have created the part based on piece of standard angle taken from library. Now I want to make a mirrored copy of this part by Component-Mirror.
Inventor does not let me do it with standard part.
The question is: How I can transform a standard part to normal one, I mean I could get rid of belonging to standard part? Making a copy does not work. The only way is to derive and mirror this part but I wish there could be easy way.

Why when I mirror a part in an assembly the mirrored part gets a new part number? I want to mirror only the position of the part which is always the same part. Is it possible to do that in Inventor?

I was wondering if there is a way that a mirrored part can be redefined. Problem I have is that after renaming the parts in the assembly the mirror will no longer update and references the original part before being renamed. I can't seem to find a way to redefine this so my mirrored part will update. To date I have been deleteing out the mirrored parts and creating them again.

Mirroring a part or assembly in 2014 makes the derived part with all sketches visibility on, nevertheless the original sketches visibility is off.
[URL]....
It makes me sick switching them down.
Is it treatable?

I have a sheet metal IPT that I saved, then did a saveas and saved as a different file name. I then took the part in the new IPT and did a mirror on the part. I chose the second "Mirror a Solid" option in the mirror dialog box, and clicked "Remove Original". Now that I'm at this part, when I try to make a flat patten of the new mirrored part, all I get are the bend and center lines of the part, not the internal and external lines that I can export for use in water/laser cutting.
I was wondering if I was doing something wrong in order to make this work. In looking through the forums I have seen people say not to use the mirror command in an assembly and create a derived part because that has issues, but I did this in an IPT, not an IAM. I have also read to make sure that the Sheet Metal Defaults are set the same, but I believe that they are talking about the derived part from an IAM drawing. All the same, I have checked my Sheet Metal Defaults and they are all the same, and in fact I tried updating them to see if it would still change the part, and it did. I was able to make my part other thicknesses and it updates the part as per the norm.
I am using Inventor 2013 Professional, if it matters at all. I have also attached a couple of picture files showing the part folded and how it looks to me when I go to the flat pattern.

I created a sheet metal part with multi-edge flanges; the part unfolded no problem. Now, I need an exact, mirrored copy of that part [new part number]. My first attempt was a mirrored component at the assembly level. The part was mirrored but it would not unfold. My next attempt was a derived part with the mirrored option selected. This part, too, was mirrored but would not unfold either.
"In sheet metal parts, mirroring flanges or contour flanges created using multi-edge select is not supported." Is this why the flat pattern fails?
Is there a workaround? I'd hate to create the mirrored part from scratch when I all need is reverse bends.

To create my new part, i used the deriven part of another part, and used only ‘Body as work surface’ before inserting in my new part.
When I create the drawing of my new part, why is it that I still see all the ‘Body work surfaces’ of the direven part?
When I make it on my other computer I dont see it... so it is surely an option…

I am having an issue with a drawing, I have an assembly running in Inventor, the parts appear to be in a transparent mode, it is actually a translation from CATIA V5, everything seems to be ok, but when I open a drawing to create dimensions, only the parts that are not transparent appear in it.

Is there a way without deleting the part from the assembly to make said part not show up in the drawing? I need to be able to do this in the model and not in the drawing. Suppressing the part create a level of detail, but I would have to create new views in the drawing and I don't want to do that.
The part is used in some cases, but not in others so I don't want to delete it from the assembly.

I set up default tolerances in my part and would like to have them displayed in the drawing. I used the "Retrieve Dimensions" tool but they aren't showing up. I have the Tolerance Method set to Default.

In solidworks, if I have several similar parts to draw, I can draw one part and annotate it and then to save time and effort I can save the drawing as one of the other parts and then change the part reference in the drawing as I open it up.

What would be best work flow for showing a part and having drawing for the different stages of machining, I would like to have a print with different sheets at say a lathe stage, than a broached part stage, then a milled stage. Should I do a part for each stage, just save to a different name or Start with a part from the first op, than derive it to another part, and make that part complete on second op, than derive it and make a third part, and so on.
Would like to do this, because we make special shaped part from round stock, so need print's to tell floor people rough blank form. Than mills machine it into final form from that lathe blank.
Similar to casted and machined drawing

I am trying to move a component within a part drawing, not an assembly. When I do "move bodies" it wants to move every extrusion within my drawing. If I click move face, then I have to click every face that I want to move (which is time consuming) and then it often times doesn't work? Sometime it works other times it just moves the origin indicator and doesn't move the faces I have selected.

I am using Inventor 2010 and would like each view of a drawing to show a different machining step. I.e.. A rough cut dimension and then the finish cut dimension. Is it possible to create the part as it would be machined and then use the EOP marker to set each view. Would like to model one part and get all views.

Is it possible to update an existing drawing to reference a new part or assembly file while maintaining associated views and possibly the annotation also?
I have tasks which require frequent subtle changes to assemblies. These assemblies will then be given a completely new file name, so it is no longer just a revision change but a new part altogether.

Is it possible to get the "actual" calculated area of the face of a part from a drawing view? I looked at the drawing view object in the api but didn't find what I was looking for. What my goal is, I want to calculate the actual square foot of this piece and then subtract it from the overall square foot so I can calculate waste. Perimeter's of pieces can be in multiple forms, radial, straight or a combination of the two. See image below.

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?

Using the 'Run Other' rule I can run a rule to switch holes on & off in a part. The rule is in the part & the run other rule in the drawing. The drawing will only update once the part is open. I would like to see the part open when the rule is ran from the drawing, how can this be done?

If you've had to use different design view representation of the same PART on a drawing in multiple Views at the same time, you already know that whenever you suppress completly a feature, the representation loose the condition stated in the model view and if the suppressed feature is reactivated, it then appear in all view. You have to right-click on the view and select "Apply design View" to reset it, or re-select the design view representation in "Edit view".
Recently I faced a case where i had to build a iLogic multi-body part representing a crate made of either sheet or bar, with a removable top and variable solid for top, sidewall and base, driven trought a in-drawing form! Reason being the customer wanted a easy, useable model for the shipping clerk to generate a custom crate drawing for the crate contractor, therefore freeing precious time for the drafting departement. Usually I would have used occurence visibillity from a assembly, but the document management part of the deal, was too much for the computer illiterate user... So, off i went creating a multi-body part, only to face the aforemention problem with view changing representation due to complete solid suppression.
So here's How-to Set representation view for part in drawing:
The trick is to set every view to it's representation by using the edit window interface code.
The iLogic line to set a View to a specific Design View Representation:
ActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
I use this code in "IF" statement. You must repete the code for each view, removing the "Raster" line force a raster only reaction on the view, and the update must be placed after each view, otherwise it only update the last one.
Example:
If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "AUCUN" Then
ActiveSheet.View("2").View.Suppressed = TrueActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("3").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View2", False)ActiveSheet.View("3").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("4").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View1", False)ActiveSheet.View("4").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
Else If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "CONTREPLAQUÉ" Then
[Code]...
I'm telling the model that the disapearing element "TYPE_COUVERCLE" is driving the representation, only when it change does it fix the view, regenerating or changing the Design View Representation (the TYPE_SIDE and TYPE_BOTTOM are always active or always suppressed in their respectives views, therefore not influencing their respective appearance in other view). If you had multiple dissapearing solid or feature you would have to build a similar code for every one of them...

I've got a view of a presentation in a drawing and one of the parts which is in a sub assembly.
I've checked the visibility in the presentation and the drawing and the assembly but all say visible.
Restarted the computer, but still no change.
see below a pic of the drawing, I've drawn in a red rectangle where the part should roughly be.

I have inv2014 , and im having a problem whenever i mirrored a part in assembly. A hidden dimension of a part always shows up after i mirrored it in assembly, and then i have to go to that part in assembly and turn off the visibility of that sketch/dim.
