I'm trying to model a part (the front sight of a 1911 pistol) and I'm trying to fully constrain my initial sketch manually. I have one final dimension to place, but I can't seem to figure it out. I used the automatic dimension function to insert it, but I can't seem to duplicate it manually.I've attached screenshots showing the sketch before and after the automatic dimension was inserted. It seems the same as the other two vertical dimensions I have in place. I'm using the M1911 Redux drawings located at the following link: URL....
Note, these drawings are not my intellectual property and are being used for personal reasons only.
How do i check the final dimension of image or vector graphics when it is clipping masked in illustrator. If I check in transform it is showing the size including the clipping mask.. I just want to check final trim size of the image.....
Let's say I used the standard NTSC aspect ratio to create my comps. When I finshed the AE proects, my rendered movie would be 720 x 480.
Let's say I need to play the movie to a screen with bigger resoluaiton. Do I need to resize the apsect ratio of all my comps and adjust every elements? Or, does media encoder can fix this for me?
My concern is 720 x 480 can't really make up extra quality pixels to fill up a bigger screen.
I have completed my final part modelling, but as you know that before final machinig the part i want to get it forged from my vendor for that i want to prepare the forging drawing for him. but when i place the base view in the drawing sheet i always get the final part. How to prepare the forging drawing from the final part drawing or is there any way to make it.
I need to finish the design for my crate that I'm going to build. It's a personal project, and I already finished the whole box, but I have a big issue. I need to add a lock, and I've tried looking for some but I have not found a suitable design or lock for the box.
I might have to redesign it slightly if a hinge is going to be added, but I think the only proper way of locking it is putting 4 locks on the 4 sides at the top of the crate. The top and bottom of the box are 2 separate parts that are the same.
I need to create such part by using Metal Sheet features from Inventor (2014). The problem is the final face..which can't be mirrored correctly and sure can't go with "flat pattern.
Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.
I have copied an pasted a pdf into model space to show in a viewport for the finished sheet. The pdf appears just like I want it in the viewport and when I do a preview it looks fine. However when I plot the final pdf (dwg to pdf) the viewport is blank. But, the pdf shows up in at leaset one other viewport on the sheet.
How do I add a dimension so that it shows both metric and imperial, with metric first, but has the appropriate units after each. Ie. 1.0mm (0.039 in.)?
I'm trying to get the dimension text that I pull out to the side closer to the actual dimension marks. The 2 1/2" and 2" shown have a minimum distance they can get toward their dimensions. I would like it to be about half of what it is, but so far I haven't been able to find the property that changes that.
Is it possible to override a dimension with some sort of formula or function that relates to the length of the dimension?
A simple linear scaling might be possible by inventing a new unit with the appropriate conversion ratio, but that wouldn't work. What I need for the dimension to display a length 400 less than the actual length.
I teach 8th grade tech and we use inventor I needed to display in fractions went to help menu. told me to go to styles & standards and then to styles editor as the help menu says and in the dialog box on the right is the browser it has in it color, lighting, & material. the help menu says there should be dimension to change the style to fraction but it not there.
How do you add text before a dimension in the idw environment? For example, I have a dimension that shows 40".... I want to add text before it to say something like.... " 8 Spaces at 5" = 40" ".... The 40 would be the default dimension value, everything else I want to add to the dimension... I have added tons of text information behind default dimension values, this is the first time I need to add the text before the value and cannot figure out how to get it to work...
I was wondering if there is a good way to get the perpendicular distance from a face to a point in a model. I know that solidworks always shows a triangle when you use the dimesion tool so you don't always have just the diagonal dimension. I know this may be a little hard to understand so i've attached a picture of what I'm talking about
I created special dimension styles in Inventor 2013 in a drawing and trying to get them into another Inventor drawing. Can this be done like in Autocad by coping to the clip board and pasting into the new drawing?
I attached an IPT file that a customer sent us to manufacture for them.It's a rectangular aluminum tube with two bends.In the IDW when I try to place center points and dimension the radius it is not recognized.The original file was a STEP.
how to set it up in AutoCAD Mechanical 2013. Here it is: one single separate dimension is already on the drawing, later I want to put another single dimension somewhere else in the same direction and align it's position with previous one using snap on to text position feature. I know there's dimension alignment tool to do such thing after the fact, but how to do it during the placement of dimension?
my 2014 inventor crashed and since then when I try to dimension a circle, I get a small "half circle" icon and it dimensions the half circle instead of a diameter or radius. Is there a setting that has changed when I crashed? I cant right click to get any dimension options.
It seems that the diamter dimension works on other things. the part im trying to dimension is a frame generator part. I have dimensioned off of these with no problem.

I just installed the educational version of Inventor and when i go to draw a circle in a sketch i cant enter in a specified radius. Any way to enable that?
I set a dimension to a 2dline. The dimension is automatically added to Model Parameters. How can I find , by code, the line which length is driven by the parameter ? Or, starting from the line find the parameter which indicate its length ?
::GetDependents(), nor ::GetDrivenBy(), nor ::GetParent() gives me the answer.
When I place a centerline (or include a workplane from the ipt) is there ANY way to dimension to the intersection of this centerline and the edge of an object?
Like in this image above, I would like a horizontal dim between the vertical centerline and the intersection of the centerline and the edge of the part.I know that I can create a sketch on the view and project geometry/draw geometry... but that is such a pita.
I want to insert dimension lines on this project. But instead of having an actual dimension I'd like it just to be a letter that refers back to a chart of possible dimensions for that element. How do I do this? I'm using AutoCad Architecture 2012.
Can i change the length of the dimension line 'extension' when my dimension text placement is beside the dimension line (see attached image)?dim line length.jpg
