AutoCAD Inventor :: Patterned Sketch Won't Close?

Mar 21, 2013

I've run into this problem with different sketch types when curves cross each other and are trimmed, or when patterned sketches are coincident. The problem I'm having is that I'm creating a ratchet wheel and I'm patterning a sketch in two parts so that the spacing for the teeth line up. What I do first is draw the angled line of the tooth, do a circular pattern of 20 teeth around the origin, an then create an arc from the bottom point of each line to the tip of the next line to create the back of the tooth. When I try to extrude it, it says the loop is not closed, but when I do the repair, it says it overconstrains the sketch and is not possible. I've tried creating this profile using a center circle that intersects the bottom of the teeth and it does not work either. I was able to make the profile I needed by making one tooth, extruding it, patterning the feature, and then creating a circular sketch in the middle and extruding it. The problem with this (aside from requiring additional steps not needed in other programs) is that when I needed to go back and change tooth dimensions, it can't rebuild the sketch.

I attached two different sketches of the non-closed profile as well as the solid ratchet piece that I made using the pattern feature command that has the teeth that can't be easily edited.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Close A Text File From Within An ILogic

Nov 3, 2012

I have an iLogic that runs to create parts and assemblies. These parts and sub-assemblies are for a range of library components which are either part(s) or assemblies or and assemblies composed of parts) and sub-assemblies as well. This iLogic is mostly done despite I have limited knowledge in this area. At the beginning it opens a text file (.txt)  by the command line:

ThisDoc.Launch("L:\_Nov 02Info and Input GuideLines.txt")that offers guidelines and instructions. 

I would like to how can I close (exit) this text file at a point within or end of the current iLogic because, it opens a several files of the same every time I run the iLogic otherwise.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA - ActiveDocument.Close Causing Crash

Apr 22, 2009

I'm creating a macro to run on creation of a new assembly from a particular template. I created a macro named autonew in the template's VBA project file. It works great except for one thing: if the user presses "Cancel" on my form, I want to not only unload the form but also close the file. For this case I've used:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Close True

I've created a test template assembly with only this line in autonew, and it crashes Inventor. The same line of code an a non-autonew module within the template file's VBA project closes the document without error or crashing. I assume this is a bug and not as designed.

Is this a bad way to accomplish the task of closing a newly created assembly? Even if this isn't the preferred approach, I don't think this should cause a crash.

I'm running Inventor 2009 SP1.

I'm running 64 bit on XP64

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Get Dimensions To Default Close To The View

Mar 8, 2012

I have dimensioned hundreds of drawings with the Ordinate Dimension command in Inventor 5.1. I'm now using Inventor 2011 and I'm having lots of issues using this command. When I first set up the dimensions, I can't get the dimensions to default close to the view. They almost always want to be on the very edge of the title block. I don't think this is a sttings problem, because occasionally they will lock to where I want them. What am I doing wrong?

The first attachment is how they go on their own. In the second attachment, I have manually moved them, but at 1 dimension per move, it's slow, and also hard to keep the all aligned.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Revert Part To Last Saved / Close And Discard Changes

Dec 17, 2013

Is there a way to revert an open, edited part back to its most current save? Or to close an edited part without its changes persisting in assemblies that reference it?

I often work on parts with their associated assemblies open; Inventor won't let me discard changes until all related assemblies are closed. Searching brought me to a thread describing the same issue from 2006. I'm using Inventor 2010.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 And 2014 Close When Open Any File

Jun 25, 2013

I had Inventor 2013 and it worked well for a long time, I didn't use it for a while, then yesterday I tried to use it again and it wouldn't work. It starts up fine, and gets to the menu where you can choose from recent files, new files, tutorials, etc. After I select anything to open, whether its a new or old file, the program will load open the file then immediately stop working. No error message is displayed besides Windows telling me "this program has stopped working". I updated to 2014 yesterday, and the exact same problem persists.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export To DWF

Aug 14, 2012

I create idw which contain between 70 and 150 sheets. I would like to export them to dwf, but Inventor will sometimes just hang. I have let it run overnight and it still just sits there. It doesn’t' use up memory or CPU it just stops.

I can sometimes break them into chunks of 20 sheets at a time, but sometimes even then it will hang. We have the same issue on multiple computers and different drawings.  I don’t select 3d export just the 2D Is this a known issue... are there some limitations on dwf size?

AutoCAD Inventor :: STL Export

Apr 2, 2013

I have a multibody part. The last command is a combine the toolbodies saved. (we want to use these in other parts) I have RMB on the bodies that I don't want exported and made sure they are not selected for export. But when I then export as an STL file, all the bodies are exported. Is there a way of exporting  just one of the bodies to an STL file? I assume the Export object mentioned when RMB the bodies is for exporting to derived parts.

I'm trying to export just one body so that we can 3D print it, but because all the bodies are exported the resulting file has overlapping bodies, which the printer doesn't like.

So, again, Is there a way of exporting  just one of the bodies to an STL file?

PS, Yes I'm still on 2010. We have been told we wil be upgrading soon. How long is soon? IV 2010

We were unable to find such a function in either Inventor or Vault Workgroup. We have found customized function for export but each file has to be opened. Is there such a function available that we might have missed or third party?

We are currently working with 2011 versions of Inventor and Vault Workgroup, soon to be migrated to 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: CIS / 2 File Export?

Aug 16, 2012

I have a frame that we have designed and detailed using Inventor and Frame Generator. The steel fabricator is asking for a CIS/2 model file to use with their Fabrication/Management software. I have done a search of this forum and found two posts asking about this format (from 2004 & 2009) but neither have any responses.

It does not appear that IV will export this information natively so I am looking for some kind of work-flow to get them this information using AD products. Any resellers out there familiar with a product/translator?
