AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Mirror Does Not Inherit Part Changes
Jul 6, 2012i am using Autodesk Inventor 2012 to design a pipeline structure. I have a problem when mirroring a 3D sketch with applyed frames. the problem is that if after the mirror operation i edit the original sketch, the modifications are not inherited by the mirrored part of the structure. in particular when i mirror a 3D assembly and edit the original assembly the modifications are made also in the mirrored part but the program does it in a wrong way as long as the constraints are not satisfied and the position of the parts are not the same as the original assembly.
How to mirror an object and preserving the link between the original and the copy in order to make modifications to all the parts mirrored in an easy way?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Doesn't Allow To Mirror A Part As Different One
May 15, 2013Inventor doesn't allow me to mirror a part as a different part. In normal cases, I can mirror a part within an assembly and it allows me to give a new filename. Now, it thinks it is a standard part and wants to reuse it even if I uncheck the "reuse standard content and factory parts" box. How can I turn that off? Or mirror the component?

Jan 8, 2013In the weldment of a crane boom i have different parts. Some are identical, but (1:1) mirrored.ipt. Then I merge them in the BOM in order to set the qty on "2" in the partslist.
Here the error occurs: in the "mass" field in the parts list says "varies".
This keeps me from generating a good partslist and the total mass of the weldment maybe messed up. I personally think it has something to do with the fact that the parts are sheetmetals. i.e when I look atthe Physical properties of the folded / unfolded (of the SAME .ipt) they differ in the same way i see in the BOM.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror And Flip A Feature
Jun 11, 2013I would like to both flip and mirror (or pattern) a feature onto the opposite side of a rectangular extrusion.
For example (assuming a rectangular solid extruded in the Z dimension), I have two counter bored holes on the top surface of the solid aligned with the X axis and I would like a copy of those holes on the bottom surface but aligned with the Y axis. If I pattern the holes rotating them 90 degrees and then attempt to mirror them, I can only select all four or the two originals. Is there any way to disassociate the rotated copies from the originals while still retaining control over their dimensions from a single sketch?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror Of Extrusion Cut Not Working?
May 17, 2013I cut a curved profile using extrusion and mirrored it about the original plane. But It doesn't cut thoroughly ? there is still a surface of the rarer side of the part ?
the original extrude cut was "Through All".When do the same cut gving a distance...it mirrors perfectly..

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Mirror Solid?
Sep 3, 2013This is a part from an inmported step file. The Inv assembly consists of 1047 part files.
I did the following:
Immediatley grounded all parts in the assembly.Opened the 8 (of the 1047) parts that came through as surfaces, all the rest are solid.
Found missing faces on all of them. I found the most useful tool was to create a series of section planes and do sketches with projected cut edges. Then export the sketches and open in autocad. This way I can see a simple line section view.
I set about replacing the missing faces to get the surface to a solid.After a few attempts I managed what you see below, a solid part in the browser. The part will now mirror as a new solid, but will not join. I have tried mirror as single solid, derive as single solid and combine. All Fail.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Mirror A Bend In 2014
Jun 22, 2013Inventor 2014 LT / have run into a problem in a throw-away project I"m working on.
A simple example is to create a piece of 3x5x.125 flat bar, add a sketch giving you a bend line and bend the end of it. Now try to mirror the whole thing giving you a 3x10x.125 flat bar bent on both ends.
FWIW: My project isn't this simple - I know I can just make the FB and bend both ends ... this is an example of mirroring a bend not working.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Mirror Component
Jul 17, 2013I am attempting to modify a component that I already have. Part of the modifications I am attempting to do involves mirroring some of the part's features. However, when attempting to mirror the component I receive the error message attached to this post: "Select set contains object that cannot be patterned". I have been fooling around with this part and a few others and this appears to be an error message that comes up for mirroring or patterning (circular/rectangular) complex shaped parts. What specifically is the issue here and how can I bypass this error message?

Dec 7, 2012Is there a way to get the mirrored hole to go all the way through both parts of the mirrored solid bodies.
I do realize that I can create the hole in a seperate feature, after the mirror. It will only let you select one 'solid' during the mirror command. Here is a simple .ipt to demonstrate the issue.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Plane And Mirror Solid?
Nov 5, 2012create a plane and mirror a solid?
I am planning to have the following workflow:
Plane creation:
Through the z-axis and at an angle of 7,5° to the XZ-Plane
Naming the plane - Mirror Plane
Turning off the plane visibility
Mirror solid:
Add mirrored solid to the existing solid
Here is a sample ao the code...
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oCol As ObjectCollection
oCol = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
'This does not work...
oCol.Add(oDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies(1))
'Here I want to create a new plane
Dim oPlane As WorkPlane
oPlane = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes(1)
Dim oMirror As MirrorFeature
oMirror = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.MirrorFeatures.Add(oCol, oPlane, False, kOptimizedCompute)
I have also attached a simplified part file where the code has been copied inti the iLogic browser
AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Split A Model In Half And Then Mirror It
Dec 29, 2012I decided to model an industrial iron caster wheel with polyurethane tread, and all went well. Tonight I added three ribs to one side of the caster wheel, which looks great, but I would rather not repeat the process on the other side because of all the fillets and such which would have to be repeated.
Is it possible to split the wheel down the middle and then mirror the side with the ribs? I saw that I can split the model with a plane, but I can't figure out how to remove the geometry on the left side of the plane.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror Skeleton File For New Assembly?
Mar 12, 2012I have used the derive component command to mirror parts many times but each time in the past I have had a desire for that part to be linked to the one I mirrored. I have a new situation where I would like to mirror a skeleton part file that I used on one assembly to make a new assembly.
For example, I used the part attached below to create a stair frame for a steel framed platform I am working on. It consists of geometry, work features, and sketches that represent the nosing line, guardrail, stair stringers, etc.
I have another stair on the other side of the platform that needs to be a mirror image of this one plus a few unique modifications. The new assembly cannot be "linked" to the other one as each of these assemblies needs to be modified independently.
How can I mirror this part to reuse work I have already done without having to create a new skeleton file from scratch? Using the derived part method, then breaking the link makes all of my sketch entities unconstrained.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppress Base Mirror Feature
Jul 6, 2012Is it possible to create feature A mirror it to create feature B and suppress feature A without suppressing or crashing feature B? What I have are very complicated left hand and right hand features. I could create the B feature again but there are a lot of dimensions. I could mirror the sketch, but there are formulas controlled by iLogic in them, and mirroring a sketch seems to break those formulas and I only get the dimension.
If it is not possible it would be an excellent addition to 2014!
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Mirror Loses Constraints

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror In Assembly Drops Information
Jul 3, 2013Often times when I mirror a sheet metal part in an assembly, several problems occur: The material thickness (in sheet metal defaults) gets reset to the default
Example: My parts are .1875". I mirror one part in the assembly (creating a new part), then when I attempt to create a flat pattern for that part, it doesn't do it right because the thickness in the "Sheet Metal Defaults" is set to .125 (my template default). The "Use Thickness from Rule" check box is NOT checked in my template, but it checks itself when I mirror a part.
The mates completely disappear meaning I have to reconstrain the part.
I have two custom iProperties in my sheet metal template: LENGTH and WIDTH (each set to <SHEET METAL LENGTH> etc.). It retains WIDTH but loses LENGTH, so I have to go manually create a new custom property to get my LENGTH back.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cylindrical Object - Mirror Plate Placed At Right Angles
Sep 3, 2013I have just created a cylindrical object with an extrusion length of 300 mm and then created an assy(.iam). On to this cylinder i have placed a plate at right angles to the axis of the cylinder
What i wish to do now is mirror this plate.
It would appear the best way would be to create a work plane(mirror plane) thro the centre
Of the cylinder,however, how can this be done if when requested to create the plane 3 points are required,am i missing something here.

Oct 30, 2013I have an ipart I'd like to create w/ surfaces. The surface color is important because we use that as plate thickness ID in FEA. When I color a surface blue, then another red I continually get the default color when using the mirror or array command. We're creating a customizeable ipart where there will be some intelligence surrounding how big the array (we may need 3, 4, or 5 beams based on the unit size). I need a way that the colors on the surface propogate to the new surfaces created by the commands.
