AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Design - Trim To Frame Fails With Custom Profile

May 20, 2013

I created an extruded aluminium profile (attached file: Item Profile 8 80x80) which I published into the Content Center. When using this profile in a frame design, and using the Trim To Frame command, the profiles are trimmed at a weird angle (attached pdf file).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Profile Trim To Frame Error

Nov 14, 2012

At my company we have a custom CC library with custom profiles for use in frage generator. We are having a problem with one of the frames. Everything goes well when the profiles is inserted.

But when I try to "trim to frame" the intersections of two profiles, it does not trim them correctly. It trims them in a 45 degree angle. As you can see on the attached jpg file.I tried everything. Checked the sketch, deleted the profile, republished the part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Profile In Frame Generator

Jun 20, 2012

I recently started to publish custom profiles in my Content Center.

What I wanted to do is to add a custom profile to content center and use it in frame generator. The problem is that I want to write in my Stock Number iProperty the Ordering number of the profile type and the generated length. I did everything in the content center publisher, but somehow it dosent work. It always writes my published file length. I can see that Inventor has the tools to do this, but somehow it dosen't work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Profile Notch In Frame Generator

Jan 6, 2014

I created a custom profile, IS34, and published it successfully as a structural shape for the frame gererator.  My problem is I get an error when I try to use the notch command in frame generator between two of these frame members.  I have tried creating a custom notch in the profile definition, but this did not work either.  I expected one profile to counter-profile the other.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Using Trim Feature And Clipart To Create Custom Frame

Apr 11, 2011

I am using corel draw to run my laser engraver and I am trying to make a custom frame.  Epilog laser.com has a tutorial how to do it, but I am afraid it is a tutorial for corel draw x3 or x4.  I have x5 and when I follow the tutorial, I  am not able to get the result I want.  I find trouble when I try to trim out the images from the frame.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator Change - Update Description Property Fails

Nov 5, 2012

Parts generated with the FG can be changed with the 'Change' option within the Frame Generator menu in the Design -tab on the ribbon.

However, when I change the size of the profile thru this menu all properties will be changed according to the settings of the table in the Content Center, except the Description property.

The Description column in the table is configured with the size of the profile and is mapped to 'project.description'.

AutoCAD Inventor :: When Detailing Generated Frame View Shows Elongated Frame Members

Jul 26, 2012

I come across this problem from time to time and generally either just ignore it, if the detail is destined for in house manufacture, or alter it in autocad if it's destined for exterior suppliers.

Our guard frames are manufactured from extruded aluminum section (made by a company called palletti) I have when needed created a new frame generator frame member for each new x-section that we wish to use. I then draw a 2d sketch for the base frame skeleton and then a 3d sketch for all the frame work above. This I then use in an assembly to create the framework.  This framework assembly then goes into a second assembly where the framework is then adorned with all the accoutrements that make up a guard frame that we can then order as an assembled frame, panels feet, hinges et al.

When placing the views for the detailing of the second assembly sometimes the view will show the wrong length for one or some of the frame members.

;note how the left and right views are different and how some of the frame members are elongated on the lh view.

 I'm guessing its because of the home grown frame members but all seems to work well other wise and this only happens infrequently.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Add Angle Values Of Frame Profile

Jun 18, 2012

is it possible to add into parts list or into BOM values of frame angles?

Unfortunately, Inventor (I use Inventor 2013) does not offer this property by default in parts list settimgs. There are mass, file name, designer, project, status, vendor etc) but nothing about cut angles...!

P.S. I add JPG file with example that I need to get.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Custom Frame Profiles In Different Projects

Jun 19, 2013

I have been working on this previous project "A" and I realized a few custom frame profile such as Bosch Strut and Din rails. Now I am done with project "A" and I am moving onto a new project we are going to call project "B". In this new project "B" I setup all my libraries as I would normally do, but once I start creating frames, I do not see any of the custom frame profile from my past project "A" even though I added my libraries, which are identical from project "A" to "B".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use Custom Library In Frame Generator?

Jan 26, 2012

My custom library works fine when I try to insert a part from content center, but when I try to use frame generator my library is not seen.  I set the "Standard Organization" and "Standard" family property fields both to "DYNA" hoping that standard would show up in the frame generator "Standard" drop down menu but it doesn't.

I saved a copy of a pipe family to "My Library" and made it an independant family.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Table For Frame Generator?

Feb 6, 2012

I would like to know if there is a way to suppress size in a custom table for frame members. So far, I've copied the ANSI hss square tube library to another name and it is not linked to the previous family. What I need to do is make only certain size of these tubes available and the only way I found was to delete them. The things is I don't want to delete them because I may need them in the future. Also,  when I have different materials in that table they appear as 2 diferent size in the frame generator insertion window. For example, if I have in my table a 2x2x1/8 tubing 1 in aluminum and the other in steel, I will have 2x2x1/8 X2 in the size selection window.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Notching In Frame Generator

Jul 12, 2013

[URL] ...... I have a large frame (beams and columns) made up of W shape structural steel. (10x19 and 10x26 mostly)

I need to create notches with some more clearance between the beams. Apparently you can create custom notch profiles, but I can't figure out how to do this with these members (normal content center beams) - everything I am finding is showing people creating custom beams from scratch.

Ideally, I can create one notch profile and apply it to all the beams - because I don't want to create 150 different profiles. So is it possible to add a notch profile to existing content center members?

Here is my frame - there will be lots of notching at the beam intersections.

Here is an intersection - I would like at least 1/8" clear between the edges of the intersecting members.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Publish Customized Frame Profile To Library

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Content Center And Frame Generator BOM

May 1, 2012

I am using a student version of Inventor 2012 to design the FSAE Chassis for our University team this year. I was not able to find suitable geometry for the required tubing to make the chassis. So I found a guide on setting up a Custom Content Center and publishing parts. I have followed that. The Chassis has turned out great but now I am trying to draw it up and the BOM is not populating as desired.

A Summary:

-Custom Project file with Read / Write Library added.

-Custom tubing geometry created and published to the Library.

-Chassis constructed using standard Frame Generator techniques.

Previously I had the chassis modelled using standard Content Center parts and the BOM would populate with the individual tubes in the drawing environment. Now with the custom tubes the BOM calls up each of the individual tubing sizes, ONCE only and has large quantities. The automatic "Measure" Column is also populated with "*Varies*".

In the Frame Generator wizard each tubing size has come up as it's own "Family".I believe this is because I have published the different part sizes individually. I am guessing I should have published only the one active part but with variable geometry selectable in the "Size" drop down?

I have tried forcing the assembly into the "All Levels" view with the Bill of Materials pop-up in the Assembly environment, but even this is not populating correctly.Something else I have noticed is the individual tubes are using a different naming convention in the model tree.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Custom Section Properties In Frame Analysis

Jan 23, 2012

I am busy constructing my own Structural Shapes Library in Inventor 1012.During the Authoring and Publishing step I mapped Cross Section Properties (Ixx, Iyy, Torsional Section Modulus, Torsional Rigidity Modulus etc) to set parameters in my iPart table.

I have noticed that once this part is then used in Frame Generator to create a simple beam and then analyzed with the Frame Analysis tool, the analysis tool uses the geometry of the part to calculate these properties.

Is there a way that I can force Inventor to use the properties in the iPart Tables?  I am worried that any errors in creating the cross section geometry will be carried into the Cross Section Properties calculated by Inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Content Center And Frame Generator

May 25, 2011

We have invested much time in creating custom content center family tables based on exisiting  ANSI tables, etc. so that we can suppress sizes and shapes we do not use and have the descriptions and stock numbers show up both so BOM and parts lists will roll up identical parts and as our purchasing department requires.

We have just discovered, however belatedly, that while these custom tables function just fine when placing an individual part, frame generator apparently does not see these and gets it's info from somewhere else. I have seen a similar post which references an McadForums post, but the link provided is dead.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Feature Control Frame Type Annotation?

Nov 4, 2013

I'm looking to do sort of an adaptive annotation thorugh vb.net.

Essentially i'd like it start with a leader and instead of your normal text dial that appears, you get a box to punch in values in a grid. 5 columns across, as many as two rows.

The idea being if i punch in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the first six boxes all 5 in the first row appear with boxes around each number and then only the 6 has aa box around it on row 2.

I can see it as a table 5x2, and the format option being if the cell has text, the border type is outline. Although i don't think those options exist for inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator And Custom CC Library Naming Convention

Jan 19, 2012

I have set up a Custom CC library that contains structural shapes.In the Family Table I have a Stock No column which references the value in my DESIGNATION columnThe Stock No column is mapped to Project.Stock NumberUnder Template Parameter (in Parameter Mapping) I have mapped StockNo to Design Tracking Properties: Stock Number.

When I use Frame Generator to add a structural shape, from my library, the name shown in the Model Browser is formatted as follows (Standard)+(Unique Number) and not (Standard)+(Stock Number)+(Unique Number).

How to get the Stock Number to show in the model Browser. How to get the members name to show, with the correct format, in the Model Browser as this will make identifying members in an assembly easier.

Please see attached for Model Browser pic.
