AutoCAD Inventor :: Freezing Seems To Be Completely Random
Mar 5, 2012
One of the computers at my office keeps randomly freezing, i.e. Windows freezes, not just Inventor, when working on a simple frame generator assembly. The freezing seems to be completely random, it can happen 2 minutes after opening the assembly or it can happen after 2 hours.
This only happens on this one computer with this one assembly.
The computer in question is a new Dell Precision M4600 (like a week old) running Autodesk Factory Design Suite Premium 64 bit (including Autodesk Inventor standard edition). Installing Service Pack 1 had no effect on the problem.

I have just upgraded to 2012 and I get a brief freeze when I enter a command such as line.
It only appears to happen when dynamic input is on or while I am in ortho mode. It seems to freeze while computing the coordinates for displaying. I have looked up the help files on direct entry thinking it might be linked to that but that didn't find any solution.

I made a part using the extrude function and cut some texts into the part by extrude (tried emboss) as well. However, when I select the face to export, letters that have area inside, such as "A", "O", etc don't like right because the face selection only selects everything outside the bounds of the letter- so the triangle island part in the "A" and the circular island part bounded by the "O" cannot be selected. This presents a problem for me as I'm trying to use a CNC to cut these letters out with a dxf file to feed my CAM program.

Ok, so I just got a new computer after having to deal with "Not Responding" from my old computer all the time just to find out I still have this issue with a brand new computer. It's really frustrating because it will do this all the time with small assemblies, big assemblies, parts, it doesn't matter. It also can be at any random moment from rotating the model to adding a constraint to saving. It doesn't seem to have any real pattern it just seems to happen all the time.

Some parts properties of one project has partially or completely grey in browser.
Nothing special had happened prior to this problem. It happened with some absolutely irregular and not systematic affection as like a fallen and broken ink bottle makes something completely colored and some other stuff just partially and some not.
I mean some parts properties are completely grey and some have just several grey properties while some other are not affected (see video link)
It is a permanent bug and seems it belongs to the part itself since the reloading Inventor and windows and Task Scheduler attempts to fix it - all gray colors stay exactly where they were before and in same irregularity. Opening the affected parts in other project gave the same result as in original one.

The model tree browser is freezing multiple times per day. Even if I close the browser and re-enable it in the View>User Interface menu, it is still frozen. It wont unfreeze until I close Inventor completely and re-open it.

I'm drawing a sheet metal part with several flanges and corner seam, but when I try to generate its flat pattern, the part is not competely unfolded, every corner with a seam is not flattened (while there is a clearance between the corner edges; i.e. no welding)
is there anyway to generate a complete flat pattern without removing the corner seams ??
(the flat pattern is attached where you can notice some flanges are flattened while others are not !)

-Inventor 2013 SP1.1 (Issue)
-Inventor 2011 SP2 (No Issue)
Templates have been coverted up from 2011, keeping copies of the old templates in separate folders all under the same parent directory.Have 2013 mapped to the folder with updated templates located on a network drive. Total of 18 temolates including the standard templates.
Computer specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA Quadro 2000
The Issue:I start Inventor 2013 or open an .ipt/.iam ect. I now want to create a new file so I click the "New" Icon.Inventor freezes for 10-15seconds and finally shows the templates.After that if you click on any of the templates it freezes instantly. Or if you scroll the browser bar down to navigate the folder. 15-35 seconds
After selecting the correct template it freezes for about 15 seconds.For those keeping track Thats 40-65 seconds just to open a drawing...
For Inventor 2011.Click, Click, Click. Open...Takes maybe 5 seconds.

On a couple assy's, I am trying to use pack&go to make self-contained versions of them.
Only problem is, the assy file (xxx.iam) and all sub-assy files are still linked to the component files in the original location even though the component files were copied to the new location with the P&G command
The whole point in this feature is to make self sufficient copies of something that don't depend on the original data.
This shows the settings I am using It is finding all the files ok. It just doesn't change the relationships on the new iam files. I could manually copy them and do the same thing this feature is doing.
Is there some hidden checkbox I need to find ? Note, I also tried once with "Include linked files" unchecked and got the same result.

My goal is to let some wheels roll in a path which exist from 2 straight paths and a corner. I can constrain them to 1 path at a time but not to all of them so my wheel makes a corner. I
You can find the guide rail as attachment. There is a path in the sketch from which i sweeped my form but he divides it in the 3 parts so i can't constrain the center point of my wheel to this path.

I am using a DELL M6600 with Nvidia Quadro 3000M (311.10)
I have most Autodesk PDSU software loaded for 2013 & 2014 plus the CFD and Sim software.
Windows 7 x64
This is my demo machine and I find that Inventor 2014 is randomly crashing. (Bad news in front of a customer)!
This happens when I am working in another application whilst Inventor is in the background with a model open.
Inventor will then randomly crash. I don't get the Autodesk crash report - I get the window that states - do I want to close the app , debug or whatever.

My students draw all of the individual parts of a product as ipt files. Next they create an assembly using those ipt files on a iam template. Next they generate a multiview assembly drawing on a idw template from the iam file. On the idw multiview assembly random visible lines disappear and we are not able to get them back. Students are turning of the visiblity of some of the hidden lines on the idw assembly but not all hidden lines.

I first installed 2012, then I realized that my class will be using 2011. I downloaded 2011, and kept my 2012, and it didn't seem like there would be any issues. So I open my 2011 and it keeps crashing before it loads completely. There are no error messages or anything ...2012 works just fine. I tried doing a repair, and a reinstall.

I've been having a problem with my AutoCAD LT 2010 completely deleting files after I have saved them and closed them. There is no file in the recovery manager, no back up file, nothing. It has happened three times without warning and it always happens to files I've been working on for awhile and have opened and closed multiple times. Is there any way to recover these files and how do I keep it from happening again?

Using AutoCAD 2010 LT with service pack 1 and 2
I created a link to an Excel file to create a table. Before I ETransmit the AutoCAD file (along with many other files) I want to remove the link so that the table is embedded with no need for the external file. When I have somebody who doesn't have the linked file on their machine open the file they get a "missing external file" message" despite the fact that I ran the detach data link command and have purge selected in the ETransmit setup. The table shows up with the data, but I want to eliminate the nag pop up about the missing file. I know you can click the ignore button, but I don't want our customer to have to bother with it.
Any way to save a list of files for ETransmit like you do in a .dsd file for batch plotting?

I have encountered a problem when creating a PDF. On the sheet there are 14 viewports, and when I plot the sheet to a PDF, one of the viewports plots completely blacked out. I have redone the viewport and Xref, but it still turns out black.

Five minutes ago I installed the latest hot fix. Now, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 won't work at all. As soon as I open the program and then try to open a file the system completely shuts down. Everything was working fine until two days ago. Then it wouldn't open the files and said to type in the file name on the command line. When I would do this, it always said file could not be located. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, have an nVidea GTX 570 card, and an AMD Phenom II CPU. I'm hoping I don't have to uninstall and reinstall again.

I cannot find the Standard Scale list anywhere in my 2010 version of AutoCAD. Only the Annotative Scale list is visible and usable. Note: it's not that certain scale values are missing, it's that the entire Standard Scale function is no where to be found!
I need to be able to change the scale of a viewport, but the Standard Scale list is not included as an option in the Properties Dialog box, nor is it in any of the other suggested places where it should be. I've used the Standard Scale list many times before in previous versions of CAD and from everything I can tell 2010 should have it.

Every time I open my drawing (which includes an XR ) I have to go through and freeze several layers of the XR file (mostly hatch/shading layers). When I save and reopen, these shading layers are back unfrozen again and I have to go through and freeze them.
Is there a procedure to keep individual XR shadings off after saves?

I'm working with alot of overlapped x-refs and every layer for each x-ref will come in to the drawing. When I'm using the viewports I need to freeze all the layers for some x-refs that don't need to show in that viewport. Since each x-ref has well over 70 layers I am wondering if there is a simple way to freeze all the x-ref layers in the viewport.

My AutoCAD 2012 freezes almost evertime when I do hatching. It doesnt matter the size of the drawing nor the type of hatch i use. It freezes while I try to pick boundary points. When it freezes, I cant even move the curser. I need to restart it from the hub.
What could be the issue? Whats spec on my computer do I need maybe?
Also with the Recovery Management, it takes like forever to try and recover a drawing.

I am having some issues with autocad 2012.
When i got to my layout page and attempt to change the scale of my layout space i am given scales in fractions or decimals which i am not accustomed to.
When I click on the custom option from the pop up menu with the scales autocad freezes.
i havnt hard a chance to test this out on my desktop but it is causing issues on my laptop.

I've got a issue with working with images. I draw furniture full scale and sometimes it necessary to hard draw and scan the drawing and then attached the image in autocad and trace over the image in AutoCAD 2013. everything is fine until I attach the image, then it freezes with every move that I try to make. The images are around 700 kbs in size. Is there anything I can do or change some kind of setting?? btw. version 2004 doesn't have this problem.

I am the only one using C3D 2012 in our office and the other users are complaining that they cannot insert blocks or paste clipboard content into drawings that I have saved from C3D 2012. This is true whether I use "C3D as AutoCAD" or the full C3D functionality. I understand that the newer C3D objects are not compatible with the older version but to my knowledge there are no C3D objects included in the drawings in question.
C3D 2009 users can wblock the drawing contents from the Model tab and each Layout tab, and reassemble those parts. Then they are able to insert blocks and paste content again. It is a very inconvenient solution and we only use it when the situation is critical. It also breaks sheet view linkage to our Sheet Sets when we do the wblock fix.
I've asked the others to try using Design Center or Windows paste (CTRL+V) and see if that works the next time they encounter the problem. I don't have C3D 2009 installed or I would have tested these ideas already. The others will not install C3D 2012 and so far the owner's will not force them to.
