AutoCAD Inventor :: Duplicate Materials In Sheet Metal Rule Styles
Aug 3, 2012So I'm in the midst of redoing my Sheet Metal Rules, and custom materials, since the update to 2013 kind of destroyed that. I created a new material library, to house all of my custom Materials in. I set it to be the only Material Library in the project, so now when I open up a file in that project, I only see my Custom material list, and that works fine when I go into the iProperties as well, the material list shows up correctly.
But when I go into the Styles Editor, and go to add my new custom Materials to my Sheet Metal Rules, the list of materials is shown in duplicate. I have attached a couple of screenshots of me opening the iProperties, and the Sheet Metal Rules in the same file.

Sep 12, 2013A collegue asked me about this as he has been given a part to model and the details are for the flat sheet not the finished model. Is this possible in 'sheet metal'? I had a quick play but couldn't work it out. Im used to creating the finished part and 'un-folding' to get the flat pattern.Detail supplied below.

Apr 16, 2012I have a dwg file with three sheets in, just default names, I can access sheets 2 and 3 but get the attached errors when trying to access sheet 1 form either sheet 2 or 3
This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Link Text From One Sheet To A Field In Another Sheet
Aug 5, 2013I am using Inventor 2010 (I know this is my first problem, but you have to use what you're given!) and I need to use the sheet number in a calculation that will display the result in a text box. =((<SHEET NUMBER>-1)8)=1 displays a result of ((11-1)8)+1. I suspect that the sheet number is being brought in as text instead of a number. I tried adding atoi to the equation to convert the sheet number to an integer, but it did not work.Is there an alternate source for the sheet number that will return a number? Is my syntax wrong?

Oct 6, 2011i am new to inventor, but an alias user for many many years . Since alias and inventor do seem to communicate pretty well, i gave it a shot, since it has many advantages to use the 2 of them.
So, the simple question is: How do I duplicate and edge of a surface into a curve, from say, a imported wire file.
I cant find a way.....Looks so simple the interface and what it makes, that it ends up being difficult to me such simplicity.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Duplicate A Part Inside Of Body
Sep 12, 2013I am trying to draw a series of flow channel (in a row) in a rectangular parallelepiped.
So I sketched a rectangle -> extruded (cut) -> sketched another rectangle -> extruded -> sketched another rectangle inside of one of channel -> extruded, and finally made a flow channel like in attached file.
What I hope to know are :
(1) Is there a way to copy that flow channel? Or should I have to do same repeatedly for tens of flow channel?
(2) Is there a way to make a flow channel easily?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Duplicate Material Within Same Physical Assets?
Nov 2, 2013When I duplicate the Material in the Material Browser all appearance and Physical properties are duplicated too.
So I must accept or assign the new unique names for appearance and Physical purposes of Material.
In my case I need, for example, the same Material with different appearance, for example knurled and regular.
I cannot save the new Material with existing Physical properties name and it makes unwanted copies like Steel(1), Steel(2) in Assets.
After I made a copy I can reassign the Physical properties back to existing but it takes a time of replacing assets and deleting unwanted copies.
Is it possible to make a copy within the same Physical Assets?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Duplicate IAM Files Showing Up In IPN File Browser
Oct 25, 2011An IPN file is showing multiple assembly files in it's browser even though I have confirmed there is only one of the assemblies in the IAM file.

When is the poor, undercared-for part of the software going to get an overhaul?

Jan 24, 2012I'm trying Frame Generator one last time to design the custom frames we build for our equipment. I've always had problems with getting FG to generate the right part numbers and file names. I have the part numbers figured out, but does Frame Generator still not have a good way to automatically create unique file names for frame members? If no one can get it to automatically generate unique file names, how do you manage all of the duplicate file names generated over time?

Sep 11, 2012why content center creates duplicates of existing folders?. Some of the folders have 6 or 8 versions and there is also a duplicate EN-US folder within the EN-US folder with nested folders. So bottom line i have multiple locations and nested files within the content center. Needless to say there is a lot of time spent pointing inventor to the parts necessary to open an assembly.
We are working on a network and are all pointing to the same content center location. We are all using the same project files. Sometimes it works as you would expect, other times not.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Duplicate Row Or Column Heading Values Detected - Change The Redundant
Mar 27, 2012I am trying to create different bend tables for different thickness material. If I have two radii that are the same for different thicknesses it gives me an error message on the second one that it is a duplicate column heading value. The values of the bend table are dependent on the thickness of the material. Why can't I have several different thicknesses with the same radii?

Nov 18, 2009I have a drawing of a sheet metal part with multiple sheets. I have named each sheet to reflect the nature of the views (general dimensions, detail views, flat pattern, etc.). I want the name of the sheet to appear in the title block, but I cannot seem to find the "Sheet Name" property anywhere. Can it be added to the list of the drawing or sheet properties, or is there another way to achieve this?. I do not want to have to use Custom Properties, and manually re-enter the names of each sheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating PDF From A0 Sheet?
Aug 9, 2013I'm having the constant problem, with IV crashing when trying to export an UK/EU A0 sheet. If I drop down one sheet size to A1 the export to PDF works with out a problem.
I've got the latest SP and fixes installed, so I don't know if it is IV or Adobe XI Pro at fault. Plenty of memory, paging file set to min of 8192 Max of 32768 so there plenty of space, 8MB Ram. Windows 7
What I've tried is save the file as a different name, file is NOT compressed on the HD, the HD is not faulty I've ran several test & checks, the folder & file are not corrupted, no viruses reported after deep scan, so now I'm stuck here wondering why IV will not export an A0 sheet to PDF.

Oct 28, 2011Is there any way to cause Inventor to convert a multi-sheet IDW to an Autocaf DWG file that puts each IDW sheet on it's own tab in the dwg?
IDW ---Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, etc
DWG - Tabs for Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, etc ALL IN ONE DWG FILE
This so we can do batch printing and not have to maunually assemble dwg file with multiple tabs from the individual dwg files generated by Inventor - as near as I can tell, there is no way to get Inventor to NOT create a separate dwg for each sheet in the IDW???

May 20, 2012You can't copy a sheet within a drawing to duplicate it. So, as a workaround, I saved a copy of the drawing to a different name and tried to copy a sheet back. Pick the view in the browser, right click, copy. Switch to the original drawing, right click paste in the browser. All I keep getting is an error "Invalid input for Request." I even think I remember getting this error before and finding a way around it.

Apr 19, 2013 have 2 questions
1.) If you look at the attached screenshot in the Edit Sheet form there is a sheet "Revision" input field is it possible to fill this out via iLogic?
2.) We have some custom E size sheets (height always 34in width varies 5ft, 6ft, and 8ft) when we select on of these sheet sizes that we created it will display "Custom Size (inch)" when using the sheet property <sheet size> in the title block not the name of that we gave these sheets (Which creatively enough is "E-5ft", "E-6ft", and "E-8ft"). I thought I had this solved by doing this:
Dim oSheetSize As String
oSheetSize = ActiveSheet.Size
If oSheetSize = "Custom" Then
iProperties.Value("Custom", "SheetSize") = "E"
Else iProperties.Value("Custom", "SheetSize") = oSheetSize
End If
then change the titleblock sheet size field from sheet property <sheet size> to custom drawing properties <SheetSize> this all works great if there is only 1 sheet in the IDW where it fails is if there is more then one sheet.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Bin - Add Flange
Aug 8, 2013I am working on a bin type unit, and am having trouble creating a flange, I am creating the bin in the final product stage, then I will separate into manufacturer components. I am having trouble adding this flange around the top 4 edges of the bin. I need the four corners to meet on a miter 45. I will then rip down each seam and have 4 separate panels.
Is this a bad workflow? Is there a better route? I attached the part in Inventor 2013 format,
