Is it possible to emboss multiple elements at once, without selecting each of them separately? I got over 2k elements on sketch which are needed to be embossed, it would be really pain to do it manually.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to select multiple layers in the layers panel on a Mac. I normally do 'command-click' and it works to select many layers. Now, it doesn't work. When I click the second layer, it draws a marquee around it. I need to select multiple layers in order to drop shadow many layers at the same time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just applied the complimentary PSE 10 to PSE 11 upgrade.All appeared to work fine. However I seem to have a problem when trying to select Media to view via Tags.If I select a Tag, the required media (photos) are displayed as expected, however if I then select a 2nd Tag all thumbnails vanish and there is a "message" : No media to be displayed.
The problem appears to be a simple case of not allowing multiple tags to be selected? This worked (and still does) in PSE10. It should be possible to display media by selecting multiple Tags but doesn't show a specific example ! I don't see any "Preference" that prevents multiple Tag displays.
Is this a bug or a PSE11 "enhancement" ? My setup is Win 7 Pro 64bit
I have 2 separate sketches which will be used to EMBOSS on the curved surface.I can get them to work except i want 1 sketch to be Green when Embossed on the surface in color and the other sketch to be red in color when Embossed with the back ground Black.I can only get it to work as 1 color.I tried with Split command but still no luck.After both sketches EMBOSSED to the surface i can only get 1 color for both EMBOSS
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way I can use the emboss feature in an assembly? We typically laser mark during final assembly and would like to show that as a step in the assembly instructions.
I typically create a sketch with the text and extrude(cut) in the assembly. It works fine for flat surfaces, but cannot do it for other surfaces.
The one way I can think of doing it would be creating ipart with text and using it in the assembly. I would rather not do it this way. Is there any other way to accomplish this with out altering the components (.ipt)?
I'm going to connect my AI file to After effect. So I had to create lots of layers in order to edit them seperatly in After effects. But it seems like my amount of layers are too large because AE always crashes (not responding -> Force quit)
So I wanna break some stuff down in multiple AI files, but I don't wanna go and select every layer and delete it. That would take too much time. Is there a way to select the multiple objects in Illustrator and delete that but also its layer its in?
In a part, I create a sketch, add annotation Type in the file name. Then create an Emboss feature using this sketch.
How can I add the file name property to the text. I want the the emboss to update to new file name if I rename the file.
How to emboss scale on the cylinder? Please see the file attached. The arrow is the portion I want to created in my part file.

The subject basically says it all. I am trying to emboss two words onto a solid model. Unfortunately it keeps failing. I am copying this model off of U-Tube models "LED LAMP"
Try and use the emboss feature and engrave the words "LED LAMP" On the centre of the top of my solid model part. Top View reads vertically going up the way.
Please edit part 8. Then start the Emboss process. 1/64 = Depth. Flat White colour. Following the video on youtube they use engrave from face then reverse the direction the arrow points towards the model. Then OK. That's the way I am showed it and I can't get it to engrave.
OK, today, or actually just this afternoon I've noticed it has become much harder to select items with the mouse.
Points, nodes, etc...anything where you'd typically hover the mouse over the item and it highlights for you to select it.
For example, lets say you want to project a point from another sketch, or select the center node of a line, etc.
Never really had an issue until this afternoon where now it seems I have to be right on top of the item and I cannot budge one bit or it won't select it. It is now taking me numerous attempts to select things like points (zooming in does not work, points scale accordingly).
Is there a setting somewhere? I can't seem to find such under Tools>Application Options and the like.
I've created a collage using Microsoft Picture It! by cutting images out of photographs and layering them. Can I open this file in Photoshop Elements and be able to move the layered images around separately?

The same sketch is embossed perfectly on a flat/round/extruded/chambered body, but on this particular lofted body I get an error ("Thicken operation would result in a large topology change. Try with a smaller thickness"). I already tried with 0.01mm thickness and still not work. What could be the cause. (I'm using IV 2013)

save it and send it back or explain why it keeps failing.

I created an iPart which includes 10 or more different part. I need put the part number (text) on the surface (could use emboss or extrude). When I change the part, I need the embossed or extruded part number can be changed automatically.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've attached the file (Inventor 2013). The sketch shown is a raised lip I'd like to have around a future opening. I actually want that sketch to wrap all the way around the body, but taper down to 0 in the rear as there are to be hinge plates. This is going to be a grill/smoker and there needs to be a 3/8" raised lip at the future seam of the top and bottom. Shown in the model is just the top portion.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm stuck on a few different emboss cases. The following examples are just dumbed-down models to learn from. If it matters - I'm actually embossing patterns on more complicated parts - not text on primitive shapes.
Case 1: Emboss across several surfaces. Please see attached file "Wrap Emboss 1". I can wrap to a face - but not all three faces on the solid that I want my "TEST TEST TEST" message to span across. My embossed text goes off into space - it doesn't wrap around the edge of the solid as desired.
Case 2: Emboss text (or some other arbitrary shape) onto a single (but compound) surface. Please see file "Compound Emboss 2". If the curvature of the part isn't significant - there are a few ways to fake/trick out the model to get a passable result. BUT - when the curvature of the surface is significant relative to size of the text/pattern to be embossed - I haven't yet found a solution that doesn't wildly distort the embossed feature. As the surface of the part is compound - I can't use the "Wrap to Face" option without an error. The resulting embossed feature is unacceptable.
I amrying to create embedding of a text entered through dialog box. The sketch regenerates fine but the Emboss doesn't. Cannot figure it out, tried a lot of different approaches...the text has to be configured this way - need to control it's height.

I am engraving a company logo on to the outside of a round tube with a custom font. There are two boxes of text that I am engraving. The first box works just fine with the "Emboss" tool. The second line works fine when the "% Stretch" parameter in the text edit window is left at 100%. When I change the "% Stretch" to 85%, I get the "Self-intersecting loop found in this profile" error message. I get this error message when I try stretching it to 115% as well. I changed the font to a standard font and I was able to emboss the text no matter the "% Stretch" value.
The bottom line is Inventor will not emboss text that has a custom font and a modified stretch percentage. This line of text must be stretched to match the company logo.
I'm playing around with a part that I'd like to "decorate" with embossed features or perhaps even cut-outs. The actual part, before adornments, looks like a funnel. As sketched now, I'm revolving a spline and then creating a thickened solid feature. I suppose that the variable diameter and varying cross sectional radius of my part increases the level of complexity of this task over a part that looks more like a regular cylinder. I'm hoping to learn a tecnique that will work for revolved parts with highly irregular profiles - not just plain ole cylinders.
So, what I'd like to do is emboss (negative or positive) and/or thru-cut decorative geometric or vine/flower inspired patterns into the outside face of a funnel-like part. (Pic attached.) I'm picturing some sort of pattern that might repeat around the part. (The variable diameter probably really complicates matters here.) I haven't put much effort/experimentation into this yet - pretty much because I'm a loss about where to even start.
Whenever I try and extrude or emboss my buisness Logo I get the error "The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result"
I have attached file.
In Solidworks I can emboss a sketch into a 'wavy' surface without difficulty.
If I try to do the same thing with Inventors 'Emboss' command It fails with "Only planar, cylindrical or conical faces are supported."
Surely there must be a way to achieve the same effect as in the first illustration, in Inventor ? Am I missing something obvious?
Is it possible to select entities of multiple layers?
I've looked at... [URL] .....
...and tried the following code.
string[] layerNames = {"1", "2", "3"};TypedValue[] tdv = new TypedValue[(layerNames.Length * 3) + 2];int i = 0;tdv[i++] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<or");foreach (string ln in layerNames){ tdv[i] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<and"); tdv[i + 1] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.LayerName, ln); tdv[i + 2] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "and>"); i += 3;}tdv[i - 2] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "or>");SelectionFilter sf = new SelectionFilter(tdv);PromptSelectionResult psr = ed.SelectAll(sf);
This code gives me an error in the PromptSelectionResult.
What would cause the erro?
I'm using QSELECT to select all objects on a layer, sometimes I need to select objects from 5-7 layers.
Right now I use QSELECT, select 1 layer, click OK, open QSELECT again, select another layer and repeat. Is there a faster way to do this without scripts?
I'm sure some of you do site drawings, how do you measure a curve? Some restaurants or cafes have a rounded serving counter, how you measure the radius to plot into autocad?
I want to move a few snap points on a line but not all of them... Usually I would shift + click each individual snap point and then move but when I have a lot of points it gets pretty time consuming.
If there was a way to drag select multiple snap points in a line.
Why am i forced to open up parts separately when trying to open my assembly. Once I open my assembly I get pop up windows asking me to either open, skip, or find the part it specifies.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI found an old thread from 2011 about the same problem and the mod reported it to the devs, but as far as I know no solution has ever been offered.(maybe in cs6? we are still using cs5)For one or two layers it's no problem to do it manually, but with say 40 layers with corresponding linked layers we need a better solution.
