AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Wood Screws To Use In One Of Assemblies
Jun 16, 2006I am attempting to find wood screws for use in one of the assemblies I am working on.
I have logged onto the Content Center as one possible resource. Is there any kind of search engine to look for parts? I can't imagine having to go through each manufacturer looking for something particlular like fasteners.
Besides Content Center, any resource for wood screws. I have looked in Grainger, McMaster Carr, PartSpec... and others. All with no success.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Writing Notes On Part / Assemblies
Jul 31, 2013When a co-worker opens an assembly or part drawing I want them to see a note regarding the model, a note that would be used for internal purpose only.
The note has to be visible on the screen when the drawing is opened, anyway of doing something like that?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Check Assemblies Part File References
Feb 4, 2013I was wondering is there is a way to select an Inventor part file and see which assembly file or files that is is currently used in ? It would be extremely useful to be able to see a list of all the assembly files which are using one particular part so when modifying the part you would know which assemblies would change.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Part Name That Has Multiple Insertions In Assemblies?
Oct 30, 2013I have 2 assemblies and drawings of those assemblies. in both the same part is among the parts.
I want to change the name of the part that is in both assemblies with the Design Assistant, but i am afraid that if i will choose one of them and change the part file's name, the other assembly will be damaged. is it true?
I think this might happen because when i open only the part in Design Assistant, it doesn't let me change it's name, so, Design Assistant might not know where this part is inserted in.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Modify Part Without Updating Linked Parts / Assemblies / Drawings
Nov 12, 2012I have several parts which I wish to modify, but, those modifications are only being done to get some prototypes made. I do not want the changed (non-approved part) to be used in current issue drawings, assemblies etc. until I have proven the modifications and am happy with them.
I can do this by doing a save as on the part and could just replace the previous design, but then I lose the history of changes/revisions shown in Vault which is critical to me and part of using vault in the first place.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Make Individual Parts Adaptive To Multiple Assemblies Without Saving Each Part
May 4, 2013 We use a similar sub-assembly in almost every assembly we design. So what I would like to do is make a template from this sub-assembly that I can make adaptive, constrain to the proper parts and have it resize to the main assembly. I've been trying to do this for a few weeks now with little success.
I have seen tutorials make adaptive part templates but never adaptive assembly templates. Is this even possible?
I know you can't make individual parts adaptive to multiple assemblies without saving each part as a different file and I think that's where my problems are coming from. Even though I save the template as a different file is it still referencing the original adaptive part in my library folder? If so, is there a way I can make it not do that? I may be way off base there too I don’t know.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Promoting Parts In Assemblies From Stock Sub-assemblies Or Component Groups
Oct 3, 2011I am working in an Inventor Assembly .iam, I have about 250 fasteners (screws) that are constrained to a flat washer and lock washer. I would like to put them in as a single unit (sub assembly if you will) and then promote or explode them in the top level so that my bom has 250 screws, 250 washers, and 250 lock washers all at the same level, not associated to one another except thru the constraints that were entered in the original assembly. I have tried Promote but that doesn't work because it removes the washers from the original file and I end up with only 1 instance of the assembly. Am I approaching this incorrectly? Is there a better way? I run across this scenario with different components quite often.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Better Method To Find Part Overall Size?
Jul 14, 2013Is there any better method to find the overall size of a part model? I tried Range Box method and that gives some inaccuracy if the model have loft feature and fillet on that. But if I use GetExistingFacets the size gives more accurate. At the same time in a round part model with a cut, the GetExistingFacets give inaccuracy and range box method gives better result. Below is the X, Y, Z sizes of the two models with the above mentioned methods.
Round Part (Part1)
Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 129.934196472168 x 126.422719955444 x 25
Measured with Range Box method = 130 x 126.514225996919 x 25
Rectangular Part (Part2)
Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 300 x 300 x 30.0000286102295

Sep 12, 2013I have a multi-body part and want to find the both faces which divide the bodys. The first face I pick with the "SelectSet" command.The second one the program should find on its own.
If I pick a boundary face, it should give an error.
One attempt is to create a point on the first face and use the "LocateUsingPoint". But is there a more elegant way for this task?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Positioning 2 Sub-assemblies Exactly?
Mar 25, 2013I have 2 tanks, each one is an assembly in itself, and they have to be positioned on a steel skid, also an assembly and then interconnecting pipework between the two.

Because of this, my pipe router is going all over the place in trying to join up the two termination points.

Dec 20, 2011In SW I was able to create assemblies that had components with limited motion and then set them as "Fllexable" and allow them to move in larger assemblies. How do I do this in Inventor? I have a trailer with both the front and rear axles able to pivot. These axle sub-assemblies are both able to pivot as top level assemblies but when they are assembled in the trailer assembly the only way I have found to allow movement is to make one axle active and move it then activate the other nad move it. This doesn't work well if there are several interdependant subassemblies that should move together. I am in Inventor 2012.

The biggest problem is we have all of these level 3 and 4 subassemblies that need to reference upper level assemblies to show placement on the drawings. We have tried utilizing LOD's and view reps but still can't fix the problem. The problem comes into play when we get to upper level assemblies that become so huge because of all of the references that are happening at lower levels. It is structured this way to create small BOM's and to be able to use in multiple different structures without having to pull a new Part Number.
We need the reference geometry to be able to show on the drawing our locations of all of these lower level assemblies and how they mount to the frame in their respected locations.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2D IParts In Assemblies?
Aug 14, 2013This is using Inventor 2013 Professional.
I've created a simple iPart and want to insert multiple instances of it into an assembly. The plan is to use a parameter-driven iPart to create multiple variations on the same basic model which will eventually be lasercut.
I've included a sample archive. 2DiPart is a simple part with a couple parameters. 2Dassembly is where I've tried to include this part. I'm able to walk through all the dialogs to place the iPart, and will even see it in the canvas as I select the insertion point. However, after I dismiss the dialog, nothing shows up in the canvas. I'm still able to see the component instances in the project explorer however.
How to best to get multiple instances of a parametric iPart into a drawing that can be lasercut.
