I would like to have dimensions on a particular view based on selected lines and curves.
How to get the line and curve's start point and end point for me to use in dimensioning either linear or baseline?
I have made an exploded view and placed it an a drawing. I would like to view inside one of the bodies to show where the exploded internals sit, however when I do a break out of the body the trail lines from the exploded internals also get sectioned. Is there a way to control the sectional properties of a trail line?

Is it possible to show hidden lines in one part of a .idw view while the rest of the view does not show hidden lines? In the attached image I want to show the pull handle and towel bar through the glass in the door. The only way I know how to show this currently is to turn off the visibility on the glass.

I have several cropped views in an Inventor 2013 drawing. I was wondering if Inventor could auto add a cut line to the cropped edge of objects when creating these views or alternatively if I would have to manually add a cut line through the symbols library ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a part that when I adjust its length additional fabs are needed. Now in my idw for this part I want to secure the break lines on the part at a exact distance from the end / each other to display these fabs. Is there a way to parameterize or set the break lines so they adapt to the change in length and move accordingly?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi've got this snowboard rack that i need to layout/markup with some #8 machine screw holes (with countersink for tapered wood screw head) - two on the end of each stretcher to fasten them to the uprights - 8 in total. I also want to layout 8 more holes on the stretchers themselves. I've got some center holes marked in the sketches..but they're not visible when i activate the hole feature so i can properly place the holes?
why i can't extrude the 4 spacers i've got sketched on the back of the stretchers into a solid . . . . i can only cut?

I am having trouble presenting segmented lines with a dashed line type in AutoCadMap 3D 2011. When the segments are small (as in curves) the dashes float together and the lines appear to be continous. This is not the case in for example TopoCad and ArcGIS.
Is there some kind of system setting in AutoCad where you can chose drawing technique? So that the dashed line segment starts with the blank part instead of the dashed?
I have a rather weird problem. I am using .dxf files as digital overlays on a new optical comparator we recently purchased. The problem is, the cad files we used to create our old mylar overlays is both 3d and comprised of text/curves/dimensions. I figured out the flattening and turning the text into lines and curves, but I cannot find a method to change the dimension graphics (profile boxes, length dimensions, and angle dimensions) into lines and curves.
When I import them into the comparator program only the lines and curves can be displayed on the comparator. Is there any way to flatten and make all of the dimension graphics lines and curves?
can't seem to find the option, drag panel larger instead.

Is it possible to warp a Smart Objects using corners and straight lines in stead of curves? I try to make a map icon in which you can easily replace the image on the map. I know how to do this warp with paths by adding anchors, but it won't work with a Smart Object (or a simple image for that matter)
It should look like the right image:
If I try to do it by splitting the image and transform them like on the left image, the transition between the 'panels' isn't correct.
Looking for a nice script that can search a complex design with lots of linework and find all coinciding duplicates and select them all and delete them but leave (1) good copy.

In a drawing I'm looking for components that have a certain iProperty. If they have the iProperty, I want to turn every occurrence of that item red.
I can get the occurrences fine, but I'm unable to properly get the drawing curves so I can turn them red. I'm using code from this post on ModTheMachine: [URL]........
Here's my
private static void ProcessAssemblyColor(DrawingDocument aDoc, ComponentOccurrences occurrences){ foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in occurrences) { if (occ.DefinitionDocumentType == DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject) { TransientObjects transObjects = StandardAddInServer._mInventorApplication.TransientObjects; LayersEnumerator layers = aDoc.StylesManager.Layers; Layer colorLayer = layers[1]; colorLayer.Color = transObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0); //red [code]........
I've seen some things say I need to use an out object to use DrawingCurves. If that's true, I'm not sure what to put for the first variable.

So, the simple question is: How do I duplicate and edge of a surface into a curve, from say, a imported wire file.
I cant find a way.....Looks so simple the interface and what it makes, that it ends up being difficult to me such simplicity.

Is it possible to have a tangent constrain on multiple curves?
see enclosed rough sketch, i would like the curved free end or the arm to be in constant contaced with the wavey top line on the other part, the wavey line is constructed as 3 curves but i can only get the tangent constrain to apply to one of the curves.
i would like the tangent constraignt to move between the curves so the part stays in constant contact with the wavey line. this is just a mess about sketch i suppose a real world instance will be a wheel following a shaped cam plate.
I use INV 2013 (Premium product and not ultimate). I am not used to creating complex surfaces. I have come across a situation, where I need extend the edge of the part as shown. (Like a press tool form die and form punch surface. In other words, 3d part edge is the parting line of mould and extend around for the die surface.

Is there a way in iLogic to iterate through all curves on a drawing. We manually apply radii labels to each drawing view but would like to automate the process with iLogic. How could I reference and cycle through all the radii on my drawing view?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGiven a sketch, I wish to get its profile paths (outer, plus inners), for each path, I wish to get their individual curves (line, arc, splines, any type). For lines, I need start and end points, for others, some sample points would do.
For "T" like thin profile shape, following code got me, 1 Profile Path, which had 8 Lines (thus 8 points) and it worked fine.
For Each path As Inventor.ProfilePath In extFeature.Profile
If Not path Is Nothing And path.Count > 0 Then
For Each entity As Inventor.ProfileEntity In path
If entity.CurveType = Curve2dTypeEnum.kLineSegmentCurve2d Then
Dim oSkE As SketchEntity = entity.SketchEntity
Dim oLine As SketchLine = CType(oSkE, SketchLine)
Dim startpt As Inventor.Point2d = oLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry
Dim endpt As Inventor.Point2d = oLine.EndSketchPoint.Geometry
But same logic does not work (crashes at Casting I guess) for "S" shape as below:
It gives path.Count == 0.
Is there any way to make 2 to sketch lines instead of floating lines so that I can dimension them?
For example, if I have a part that can change lengths and I need to print off a new drawing, it would be good if I could say that the lines were a set distance from each end of the part or some features of the part.
Then I could update the part length, then just open the part drawing and not have to adjust anything.
