Nov 22, 2013We commonly weld two half cone sections together to make a complete cone. To show the weld prep i have modeled a chamfer on the cone edges.
When i try and show the chamfer on the drawing using a section I cannot dimension the angle as the surface is viewed as a curve by Inventor.
I have attached a drawing and part file showing the problem and showing the detail I would like (I've shown the detail using a simple sketch).

Feb 5, 2013We're seeing strange behavior on all of our workstations when using a Refold feature on a sheet metal cone. Surfaces are (very incorrectly) being added at the top and bottom openings of the cone when the Refold feature is added. The behaviour is the same whether using Contour Roll or Revolve. The surfaces dissappear when the cone is revolved to a lesser degree, such as 200 degrees instead of 359. The cone can be revolved to 360 degrees and ripped but that raises a whole nother problem because Inventor does not correctly refold a 360 ripped cone. File attached. By the way, the surface artifacts show up in the flat pattern as well.

Sep 30, 2011How to draw with sheet metal rules centric cone? Ive spent hours on it and nothing, it always end up on ASM failure, or ceates the only one half( when sliced on asymetric way). This need to go in two halfs.
Ive tried:
two circles 1300 and 300, top circle centre moved from Y by 127mm on X axis.
contour roll will revolve on axis between circle centre points, than extrude something with cut and it is but the shape is an oval not circle.
Ive used loft command and slice command but only one side picke will work with flat pattern.

Dec 22, 2012I am trying to design a new mold for some sailing rudders I am building. The files I have for the current molds are in the IGS format, which Inventor can open. The current rudders are convex going from the widest part of the foil down to the trailing edge. The goal is to create another model with this flattened. If I were doing this in logic it would be: Find max height, alter foil to be straight from max height to trailing edge. I have tried everything I can do to make this happen with no avail. what would be optimal is if I could get it set up so that I can easily control the amount of convexness to the aft section, but the primary goal is to just get it to be straight. The trailing edge is the straighter one.
The final goal is to export to g-code and send off to a cnc.
I have attached the files after I have imported them into autodesk, but below is a link to the original iges files.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 3D :: Extend A Cone / Pyramid-like Object?
Sep 29, 2013Assume that I have an odd pyramid 3D-solid say with a polygon basis that lies on a "floor". The apex was higher than the ceiling, so I "sliced" the pyramid to fit it right under the ceiling.
Now, I change my mind and want to make the ceiling slightly higher (say, 1"): after raising the ceiling I am left with a sliced pyramid that is cut 1"below the ceiling. Question is : what is the best way to re-extend the pyramid (and make it look like it was cut by the higher ceiling) ?
I cannot just "undo" because too many things happened in the meantime.
I can imagine re-creating the unsliced pyramid by press-pulling the upper sliced surface and then slice this extension with each side of the original sliced pyramid and ultimately re-slice with the new ceiling. Can I do better / faster than that ?
AutoCad 3D :: Unable To Place 6 Objects Around The Cone
Mar 21, 2013I am trying to place some objects on a cone. But i can't get it to work. The idea is that the 6 objects should be fitted on the cone so that they are placed all around the cone. But i can't get them to align with the angle of the cone. I have tried the 3D align, but this just doesn't work for me.

Nov 11, 2011I have started a project and have a somewhat unusual condition. I have a structure with a Conical Roof. We are putting a parapet around this roof. With the parapet, we are also going to create 4 individual structures that direct water/rain flow to scuppers that will be fabricated into the parapet. Below is a sketch of our condition. How to get the shape of a line that follows the face of a cone. Obviously, this line is not projected to the center of the cone, so it is not just a straight line. I am imagining either a radial cut piece, or a complex/multiple radial cut piece. I don't really know how to put it into words exactly.... Take a look at the sketch.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Flattening And Setting Everything To Elevation Zero
May 2, 2012make a drawing to be flattened and set to elevation zero.
I do have the flatten command from express tools, and that works only to make everything to 2d, but i need a simple script routine to set all objects to elevation zero.
This is my current methodology
1. select objects
2. flatten
3. select same objects
4. explode
5. select same objects
6. explode
7. select same objects again
8. In property's, adjust Z axis to 0.
I fear that this is too long and bulky, and sometimes it wont work.
I also fear that any lisps routines are completely out of my league as i never used them before and my company never really had a need for them, but i am willing to give them a shot if it means that they will save me some time.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Flattening Solid Objects?
Apr 5, 2012I am working on a design project for a class i am in, i need to make a model of the design solution i come up with. since my design has curved walls, how to take my AutoCad model and convert the faces to something where i could print them out on paper and make the model. I need to basically unroll them as if i was flattening them on a sheet of paper. i have tried flatshot and flatten, my difficulty with these is that it does not take the entire object length along the curve, it will only take the distance that can be seen on the screen. I know this is possible with 3ds max as a friend of mine did it that way, but i don't know how to use 3ds max so that doesnt work for me.

Jul 7, 2009When I create a pdf using the dwg to pdf driver native to acad2010 it creates a pdf but when I go to print that pdf the processing time that it takes to print is outrageously long since when adobe reader goes to process the pdf to print it it says it is "flattening" the pdf.
How to remedy this problem? At this point the dwg to pdf driver in acad is unusable unless I can figure out how to create a pdf file that does not need to be "flattened" by adobe reader before finally sending off to the printer.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Rotating Working Plane / Flattening Geometry
Dec 2, 2013Is there a way to rotate the plane you're working on on the fly? I have (what is supposed to be) a 2d floor plan with multiple elements that have non-zero z values, a lot of which apparently cannot be exploded, or sliced (after turning them to surfaces), or anything else. I tried to simply "stretch" the non-zero z vertices down/up to the xy plane and the whole object moves up or down instead. (I'm also using a LISP routine by Lee Mac to do the actual flattening after the fact).
So, what I want to do is simply draw in the 2d geometry necessary to project the object onto the xy plane, and then delete the extraneous 3d lines/objects. However, I'm working on an isometric view (to make sure I'm drawing them in at z = 0), and AutoCAD apparently thinks I want to draw "walls" (yz plane) instead of "floors" (xy plane), if that makes any sense.
Is there some button I can press to change the working plane on the fly? Why AutoCAD wouldn't have this sort of functionality when a much simpler program such as Visual can do it (just by hitting TAB you can swap between the xy, xz, and yz planes).
Alternatively, flattening geometry that does not want to be flattened?
