AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Dimension To Be Square Root Of 32?

Apr 25, 2012

I want a dimension to be the square root of 32, so I entered:

Sort(32 LU)

Now, the square root of 32=5.656854...

But the dimension I get is 2.227...

So, I try to play with the numbers a little to decipher what Inventor is doing.  If I enter:

Sort(32 LU)*2

I get 11.314...

2.227*2 does not equal 11.314

However, 

(√32)*2=11.313708...

This is the first time I have used equations that are more complicated than basic math.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Turn Off Derived Body Root In IDW

Jul 22, 2012

Whenever I place a view of a derived part (or an assembly containing derived parts) the body of that from which the part was derived is also displayed, even though when viewing the part or assembly file they are invisible. It is almost as if there is a "ghost" reference to the parent body of the derivation - surely there must be a way to turn this off?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cable And Harness - Root Multiple Wires Along Same Path

Jul 30, 2013

Is there a relatively easy way to root multiple wires along the same path, with a predefined distance between them so there's no interference between them? Something similar to the attached picture... or packed even closer together.

I got in a hole lot of trouble to get the result from the picture and I was hoping that there is an easier way... a workaround... something.

Using segments is not an option (only maybe as an intermediary step) but in the end I have to have all the wires as separate entities.

AutoCad :: Root DWG To Remove Xref Values

Aug 27, 2013

I have been using AutoCAD for some time now. I have always been trying to stay away from X-Refs as I do not understand them fully. But in the current project im running I have to upload a .dwg into a program, but the catch is, the drawing MUST NOT have any X-refs. Now, in the folder structure I have of this drawing consists of about +-10 different .dwg files.

Is there any way I can use the root .dwg to remove the x-ref values, but still have the drawing, to allow me to have the same drawing so I can upload it into my program?

Size does not matter in this scenario.

I ll be hovering the forums for some time

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Root Radius - Move And Scale Actions

May 23, 2013

[URL] how to add a dynamic radius, with reference to the Move and scale actions.
 
"1. Set the Radius to Independant and move the center point to the center of the radius"

"2. Add the Scale Action to the Move Action"

"3. You already noticed the angle of the stretches (45, 315) needing to change and the Move multiplier of 1.414"

I am trying to design a column block, but following  the above instructions for the root radius the radius moves when I test the block!

1. "move the center point to the center of the radius" What does this mean. I am selecting a liinear parameter, selecting the mid point of the arc first and then the arc center point.

2. "Add the Scale Action to the Move Action". How do you add the scale action to the move action.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2010 - Unfolding Square Tube

Dec 5, 2011

I'm unfolding a 30x40x2 mm square tube for tube laser. The tube is imported from STEP format.

The flat pattern is 1,5 mm too narrow - even when I increase the K-factor to 1,0.

Is there any work around to get a wider flat pattern.

The pattern itself should be about 2cm*2cm.Is there a way to use an image such as the one attached  and make it automatically translate  that into holes, or do I have to draw it all manually? If I do have to do it manually, c how to create square holes?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Square To Round Transition Options

Apr 14, 2012

I have a square to round transition that I need formed up and the shop is telling me that they would prefer to split this thing at the corners rather than the flats. I've tried two different ways of doing this but how to handle this part. It's 10.75" OD at the bottom and 2'-4" square at the top and 1'3" in length and made of 1/4" stainless steel plate. The shop wants this in four bent pieces that they can weld together down the corners.

I've tried making just the one side but I'm not getting the results I would like to see. Making the full transition (as in the picture above) gives the finished result I am looking for but I can't separate it into multiple sides.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Smoothing Faces Of A Loft (square To Round Shape)

Oct 16, 2013

When I make a loft, from a 12x12 square to an 8" circle (12" high for the sake of arguement), the corners of the square kind of loft up to the circle where it's corners would be...leaving a sharp break between the planes

Is there a way to make it look like the sheet metal lofted flange appears? So that the corners of the square drift to the quadrants of the circle, making a smooth transition?
