AutoCAD Inventor :: Fundamental Change Of Geometry Near The End Of Project?

Nov 27, 2012

I am designing a vacuum part in Autodesk Inventor, which is essentially a long cuboid shape with various valves and spaces for windows along it's length (see attached pic). Upon finishing the design of this part, a few details need to be changed - one being the fundamental shape of the object. It now needs to be a larger square section attached to a long cuboid section (as I found out the valves on the right hand side of the drawing are around double the size they are in this drawing). Rather than restart the project from scratch, I would like to only modify one of the ends to be extruded out into a square shape, or something like that. My first idea was to use the split command in order to split the faces into what I did and didn't want to change, but upon starting this, I don't think this is the best way.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Project Geometry Perpendicular To Sketch

Aug 20, 2013

I have an existing sketch and a new sketch onto which I want to project some lines from the existing sketch.

The panes of both sketches do not run parrallel.

Normally a projection is created by imaginary projection lines from the existing sketch to the new sketch perpendicular to the new sketch.

But now and want to project the existing sketch with imaginary projection lines that are perpendicular to the existing sketch.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Project Geometry From Model Sketch -> DXF

Mar 6, 2013

Is there a way to hide project geometry from model sketch? I am modeling a sheetmetal part where I need to sketch centermaks, part number etc. for laser cutting. I want to use xy planes for symmetry reasons when sketching, but I don't want them to appear in dxf. This is a problem if I create a dxf directly from the model.

Usually I create dxf files from drawing by adding new sheet where I create flat pattern view from the spesific part (excluding machinigs etc, only thermal cut boundaries visible). In the drawing I am allso able to show model sketches and hide unwanted project geometry. Is it possible to include these sketches to dxf?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edge Of Cylinder Not Projecting Using Project Geometry

Mar 27, 2012

I'm trying to project an edge of a cylinder in a "detail" view. Here's the process I'm taking. Click the view and pick "create sketch", then I pick "Project Geometry". Then I pick the edges of the cylinder I'd like to project and it only projects one side. I can select the edge, but when I right-click and pick done it won't project it. It appears to me that it's only allowing one edge of the same object to be projected. I've tested other objects and it seems to only do this with cylinders.

Is this a setting or a bug in 2012?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Window Select Sketch Geometry To Project?

Nov 9, 2011

I am unable to select Sketch geometry via a crossing window to project to a new sketch.

While in the new sketch if I select " Project Geometry " I am only able to select one line at a time. quite tedious for some of my larger projects.

I can not honestly say that this feature was available in previous releases but it seems to me it was. Am I missing a variable somewhere?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 - Project Geometry Not Working Properly In IDW Environment

Jun 21, 2011

When I create a new sketch on any given view and utilize the 'Project Geometry' command, not all geometry will project onto the sketch.  It seems random; I've tried multiple times using different orders in which to choose the geometry.  Sometimes certain geometry will project, sometimes not.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Project Geometry To Locate All Holes In The Frame Into Cover

Mar 20, 2013

Using Inventor 2012 SP2

Have been using Inventor for 6 months or so after being on Solidowrks for many years.

With the settings I have from the start I have been avoiding using adaptivity because it causes more problems than it seems to fix. Just ran into this problem a few minutes ago.

Basic rect angle iron frame, put holes in them for fasteners. Created the cover and constrained it to the frame assembly. Used project geometry to locate all the holes in the frame onto the cover. Use the "Hole" feature and everything is good with the world.

Then changed the side pc of the frame, shortened it by 1.25 inches. Would not update until I deleted the cover and the fasteners. Even then I had to go thru all the constraints I used, edit them back to the number I had used. Once I did all that the frame was the correct size.

I must be missing something serious, it has to be easier than this to use adaptive parts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change The Size Of Revision Tag's Geometry?

Jul 29, 2008

You know the square, traingle, circle, and the hexagon shapes that are used on the revision tags? How do I change the size of the geometry to be smaller? If I just change the text size, all that changes is the text, the geometry remains the same. I'm wanting to make them ultra small so that when there are lots of revisions, it doesn't clutter up the drawing too much.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Projected Geometry Does Not Update Upon Change

Jun 3, 2012

I am struggling with projected geometry that is for some reason not updating in sketch when I change sorce element.

I have sketch in ipt file A.ipt

A.ipt is placed in A1.iam.

in A1.iam I create or place B.ipt

in B.ipt I create sketch and project some elements of A.ipt sketch to it.

After any change i sketch in A.ipt file I and up with elements projected to sketch in B.ipt not muchning elements they ware projected from.

I tried I think everything, adaptivity, creating additional points i A1.iam (they update properly but still projection is not updating).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Feature Is Not Recognized As Part Geometry Change Because rule Isn't Triggered

Dec 6, 2013

In our drawing file we expose the mass of the part. So I have set the 'Update physical properties on save' in the 'Application Options'. This works fine when you save your file before switching to the drawing file. If you forget to save and go to the drawing file the mass is showed as: N/A.

Therefore I have created a rule which updates the mass of the part. This rule is activated with the 'Part Geometry Change' event trigger. This is done to update the mass in the drawing file even when the partfile is not saved. This works fine. If I make any changes to the model the mass is updated correct, EXCEPT for deleting features. When I delete a feature and switch to the drawing file the mass is shown as N/A again. So apparently deletion of any feature is not recognized as a 'Part Geometry Change' because the rule isn't triggered.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Project Navigator - Change Project Number

Jul 17, 2013

I have to set up a project in Navigator so we can get started on it but I will have to go back and change the project number when we get it.

My question is how do I change the project no so that it re paths everything and reorganizes itself numerically in Windows Explorer...or should I just create a new project in Navigator and copy the files I need into the new project?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing 2D Geometry

Jan 16, 2006

How in import 2D geometry into Inventor so I do not have to redraw the profile, only extrude the existing geometry. I tried to export from Autocad a IGES file, and then create a sketch plane in Inventor and project the geometry onto the sketch plane, but I ended up with a bunch of open loops. Perhaps, I have figured it out and real question is how to I close open loops?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Extrude Geometry Text

Jul 7, 2013

I'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself.?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Import 2D DWG As Construction Geometry?

Dec 17, 2011

Currently I save all my 2D DWGs as IGES files and then import the files into Inventor. That converts all the geometry to Construction Wires in an IPT, which means MUCH improved performance (you don't have to wait for Inventor to convert every single entity in the DWG to a Sketch entity). I then start a new Sketch and Project those lines that I need from the Construction Wires.

Is there a way to do this directly (convert to Construction Wires) with a DWG, without having to save as an IGES file first?
