AutoCAD Inventor :: Extracting Sketch Curves Points

Dec 6, 2013

Given a sketch, I wish to get its profile paths (outer, plus inners), for each path, I wish to get their individual curves (line, arc, splines, any type). For lines, I need start and end points, for others, some sample points would do.

For "T" like thin profile shape, following code got me, 1 Profile Path, which had 8 Lines (thus 8 points) and it worked fine. 

For Each path As Inventor.ProfilePath In extFeature.Profile

If Not path Is Nothing And path.Count > 0 Then
For Each entity As Inventor.ProfileEntity In path
If entity.CurveType = Curve2dTypeEnum.kLineSegmentCurve2d Then
Dim oSkE As SketchEntity = entity.SketchEntity
Dim oLine As SketchLine = CType(oSkE, SketchLine)
Dim startpt As Inventor.Point2d = oLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry
Dim endpt As Inventor.Point2d = oLine.EndSketchPoint.Geometry

But same logic does not work (crashes at Casting I guess) for "S" shape as below:

It gives path.Count == 0.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Symbol Connection Points?

Oct 7, 2011

I am trying to get Sketched Symbols with leaders to align.

I have a sketched symbol defined that has connection points defined at the outer quadrants.  If the symbol doesn't have a leader they snap together at the connection points without any problems.

If the symbols have a leader they either won't snap, or jump to a random location depending on what grip you select to move. 

The following video image shows the problems with the symbols with leaders.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Deleting Work Points In 3D Sketch

Apr 13, 2012

I am using Inventor Professional 2011.

I have a series of points that I've placed along a sloped line in a 3D Sketch.  However, if I delete one of the points, all the points that have been created are erased as well.  I found a way to get around it (remove the constraints of the point I'm trying to delete and then delete the point).  However, if I want to delete multiple points, the solution I have would take up some time.

I don't want to create a rectangular pattern in a 2D sketch because, when the line changes slope, the pattern doesn't seem to recognize the new slope direction and the points appear offset from the new sloped line.

Is there a way I can get create some semblance of a pattern in 3D sketch and also have the ability to delete individual points within a series of created points?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Excel Points To 2013 Sketch

Jun 25, 2013

When I use the import excel points function in the 2D sketch menu of Inventor 2013, nothing happens when I open the excel file. No points are drawn in the sketch... I don't even get an error message... I have tried the same thing on another computer with the exact same spreadsheet and it works 100%.

I'm running Inventor 2013 service pack 2 on a Lenovo Y570 with an Nvidia GeForce GT555M GFX card

AutoCAD Inventor :: Left Clicking And Moving Lines And Points In 2D-sketch

Feb 1, 2012

I have a newly discovered issue with left clicking and moving lines and points in 2D-sketch.

After working in Inventor for a while I cant move lines and points(green and unconstrained geometry). If I exit 2D sketch mode and enter again I can move a line once and then its back to not being able to manipulate the geometry at all, the curser just want to create a marking box.

I have a new optical mouse with cord, its a Logitech G400. I have switched mouse but with the same result.I have installed the latest driver for the mouse.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Sketch Geometry Used To Define Planes / Axis And Points

Nov 6, 2012

I am using projected and sketched geometry (2D sketches) in assembly space to create lines/ points that I intend to use to define planes and axes. The problem I have is that nearly all the geometry I create (lines and points in 2D sketches) is not "selectable" when I try to create planes or axes.  I  cannot even put a work points "on top of" my sketch points.  Why are my sketches not usable in the assembly space?   Since the components in my model are just two extruded rings I don't have any linear edges I can select to make this work/ define planes.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Sketch With Line Starting Points Depending On Other Sketches?

Oct 6, 2012

I want to draw a line between the two sketches visible on the image below. The line should be in the plane visible. The starting point of the line should be from wherever the top sketch intersects  the plane of the current sketch. The finnish point of the line should be wherever a line of the bottom sketch intersects the current sketch plane.

There is no tooltip appearing that would allow me to quickly "attach" the starting line to the correct position. Is there such an aid, and how do i turn it on?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extracting Points From A Surface

May 31, 2013

I built my surface by importing points directly, ie, not through the ribbon, so i have no points listed in prospector.  i have been editing the points (mostly deleting errant survey points) and would like to export the final data set.  The only step i found, was to show points in surface style, and then Extract Objects (of which i selected Points).

This seems to have no placed all the points into my DWG, but HOW do I export this files into a single text file??

I'm trying to take a shape from illustrator and have the iOS graphics engine draw it without having to import the file. In order to do this, I need to somehow get a text break down of all the bezier paths / curves / points that comprise the shape so I can tell the iOS graphics engine the points that need to be drawn. Is there anyway to get a list of these points from illustrator?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed

Sep 21, 2011

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013

Photoshop :: Adding Points To Curves Adjustment Layer In CS6 Broken?

Nov 6, 2013

In CS3, CS4 and CS5 I was able to:
 
(a) add a point (corresponding to the position of the Eyedropper Tool on the image) to the RGB composite curve by Control + Clicking; and
 
(b) add a point (whilst focused on the RGB composite curve) to each of the Red, Green and Blue channel curves by Control + Shift + Clicking.
 
Neither approach seems to work in my CS6 (PsCs6 x64 latest update, on Win 7x64).

Photoshop :: Control Black And White Points In Curves With Cursor?

Jun 9, 2013

In Curves, when you want to see the deepest blacks and whitest whites, you hold down Option while clicking and dragging the balck and white sliders – and the dragging doesn't allow accurate control. It's okay, but I would find it better if I could nudge the black and white sliders from the keyboard while seeing the effect on the image. Is that possible when using Curves as an adjustment layer?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Part Sketch Into Drawing Sketch

Sep 20, 2012

How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?

I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations.  Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.

I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist.  I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.

I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way.  I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option.  I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Sketch Point Data From Sketch Entity

Dec 3, 2013

I was trying to query some sketch points data from a profile Path using code as below. However the program stopped without telling the reason.

Code below:
i = 0;
foreach (ProfileEntity oSourceProfileEntity in oProfilePath) { switch (oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity.Type) { case ObjectTypeEnum.kSketchArcObject: { SketchArc srcSkArc = default(SketchArc); srcSkArc = (SketchArc) oSourceProfileEntity.SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkArc.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } default: { SketchLine srcSkLine = default(SketchLine); srcSkLine =(SketchLine) oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } } i++; }

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting 3D Sketch To 2D Sketch From IGS File Using Wires?

Aug 1, 2011

First we imported an ".igs" file to inventor, which produced "wires".  Then by promoting the wires it produced a 3-d sketch. 

The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.

The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch

Looking for a nice script that can search a complex design with lots of linework and find all coinciding duplicates and select them all and delete them but leave (1) good copy.

Basically when I use Outline Pathfinder in Adobe Illustrator, then bring back into corel, sometimes get a lot of redundant objects.  I already set the settings in Adobe Illustrator to minimize that as much as possible.
