AutoCAD Inventor :: Follow Radius Of Roll
Jul 12, 2012I'm still new using autodesk inventor and still learning. I have trouble to cut the plate (Penahan Depan.ipt) follow the radius of the roll (Roll.ipt).

Xara :: Text To Follow A Radius Using Fit To Curve
Nov 3, 2011i've been using xara pgd for a few months now and absolutely love it. massive jump up from my old program which was very limiting (graphic design is a hobby / business necessity, not my full time gig).
so my first question to you good peeps: i've been trying to "bend" text to follow a radius using 'fit to curve' ... this has been problematic as the text wants to align itself at the end of the curve rather than the middle.
is there another way to bend text to a specified radius?

Mar 28, 2012I have to make a roll of tape in Inventor, but I'm not too familiar with/used to the program. It's the small invisible adhesive tape, like the kind you'd find in office. So far, I sketched and extruded the plastic part the tape gets wrapped around, which is basically just a small tube. I also have a rectangle that's really long for the actual tape part, and that's extruded but very thin. they're both made as standard.ipt files. I opened a standard.iam file to put them together using constraints, but I'm not exactly sure how. I have the edge of the rectangle on the outside of the circle, so I just have to wrap it around. I'm assuming I just bend the rectangle (tape) around the circle (plastic part), but I don't know how to do that.

Oct 24, 2011I have two cooling rools( just two cylindrical drums) a sheet is been passed on this. Wonder how do i draw the flexible sheet, actually i have many cylindrical rolls placed at different locations - all i want is a thin sheet to be passed onto each of those drums. Just like belt and pulley, but here sheet and a drum. Its very difficult to calculate dimensions and constrain, instead am wondering how do i create a flexible sheet of fixed length and constrain it so that they rest on top of the drums.

Dec 19, 2011A rather simple sheetmetal part won't result in a flat pattern. Pls. see attached screendumps.
The problem starts with the contour roll. Surpressing this contour roll feature (and dependent featured flange) results in a OK flat pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Flanges To Contour Roll
Jul 25, 2012I've been having some issues recently with Sheet Metal parts. I am attempting to make a part that looks like this:
The only way I have been able to do this so far is by doing a contour roll to get the rounded part and then add the flanges on as part of an assembly.
I have attempted to do it as one Sheet Metal piece but I continually run into the problem where I cannot refold the part once I have the flanges.
Here are the steps I have gone through:
1. Created a contour roll to the necessary angle to get my desired dimensions
2. Unfolded the roll
3. Created my hole pattern
4. Folded back the flanges
This is where I got stuck. I attempted to refold the part between the bends but it will not let me do this. If I have one flange, I am able to refold but not when I have 2.
Another problem I have encountered is when I get one flange done, the thickness of it is larger than the rest of the part.

The part is a short length of square hollow section from which I am trying to apply the roll to, there seems to be a problem in projecting the geometry on the end of the part

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheetmetal Contour Roll Flat Pattern
Jan 21, 2013Inventor 2013-I'm working on a sheet metal cover using contour roll and I find when I dimension the flat pattern that radii that should be the same are not. Can my approach is fundamentally flawed? I tried making this part out of one 220 degree contour roll and I found when dimensioning that the center points of the arcs are not symmetric as expected. I then used two contour rolls to create the part basing the second contour roll on the first contour roll sketches and I still have the same issues.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Making Roller Follow A Curved Path
Aug 30, 2011I am trying to assemble a roller to follow the path as shown in the attached file. I am able to make it follow one path, i.e. around the bend, but then how do I make it continue along the straight section and not continue around the circular path?
I eventually intend to use the dynamic simulator tool to animate my full model. Is there a way to use the connection parameters in this environment to enable the roller to follow the correct path.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Bolted Connections Follow Pattern 2013
Nov 5, 2012I have an assembly comprised of 2 identical parts that have holes in a radial pattern. The holes were created at the part level, & the holes are obviously in both parts (they are not created by the bolted connection).
I've made a bolted connection using the "By hole" option & I've checked "Follow pattern." The bolted connection is made without any problems, & the "Follow pattern" populates all the holes as would normally be expected.
However, here's the problem: the only bolt/nut/washer assembly that appears to be fully constrained is the one on the base hole (by "base hole" I mean the hole that I initially selected). The other bolts/nuts/washers are not constrained to the holes. So, I can drag the entire pattern & it spins radially about the axis of the base hole.
I've never seen this ridiculous behavior before IV 2013.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Fails To Follow All Assembly Updates At IDW Of Mid To Big Files
May 19, 2013I use IDW file as “fine” checker of my assemblies design. Sometimes it is much easier to see general picture in variety of spots and set dimensions to check the designed assembly using IDW file.
Working within mid to big assemblies Inventor mostly fails to follow the opened assembly IDW file with actual assembly. When switch from assembly to IDW Inventor may indicate the update sign at IDW but finally did not update all changes. After the “Update” sign has been used there is no any chance to force Inventor to make one more update. I mean there is no any manual update tool or way to force one more update. The only one way is to close the IDW and open it again. It quite time consuming process.
The second problem opened IDW file is automatically updates somewhere in background and in most cases makes troubles of changing parameters in assembly or subassemblies since it somehow can catch up changes first when it opened but not active. User cannot prolong working without either updating IDW or closing it. Either way it takes too much time.
some ways to manually force IDW update and to postpone IDW files from automatically update in background?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add A Radius In A Corner And Its Not Cooperating
Apr 12, 2012Trying to add a radius in a corner and its not cooperating. Take a look at this image. Notice how the one radius curves around the part, but the other one does not? I know these two look different because they are different sizes. I would like to get the 1in radius to go straight across like the R3/4, but it will not do it. I've tried the options under the chevron, but nothing gives me what I want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Way To Preload Info - Bend Radius
Feb 27, 2012Is there a way to preload information into Inventor in regards to the break press such as the dies being used or the ones available so the when the computer is deciding a bending radius,it know what tool we have?
Currently the bend radius is set to "radius", which i am assuming is default, but I can't figure out how to change that either, and depending on the thickness it will change, but like today it said I would need a 1/16th inch radius, but we don't have a 1/16th inch die,it is an 85 degree air bending setup,and has a 4 way die with smaller and bigger openings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modifying Diameter And Radius Dimensions
Oct 23, 2012My company is trying to Standardize all drawings produced to 1 format. the one we are attempting to create would be in the form of: nominal upper limit^lower limit. this is easily acheived in autocad and linear, chamfer, and hole/thread dimensions in inventor. but radii's and diameters from a round surface (as apposed to linear diameters) we have run into a snag with. We cannot seem to find a way to either remove the prefix symbols or be able to insert text between the symbol and tolerance.
below is a illistration of the problem and the form of the new dimensions.
