I have a weldment assembly. It is a subassembly under a main assembly. In the 2D drawing of this main assembly, I tried to indicate the welding symbols for the subassembly assembly. The "Get Weld Symbol" is grey out.
How can I indicate welding symbol in the 2D drawing?
I am looking for a way to add a welding symbol to an existing fillet weld. When I am creating a fillet weld, I get a chance to create a welding symbol based on the fillet weld size.
If this is not done when the weld is created, there is no way to add this notation. I don't have the "Create Welding Symbol" checkbox when editing an existing weld. The only solution is to delete the weld and recreate it.
I am trying to link the welds in the iam with the weld notes in the idw.
Just trying to add an existing symbol to a drawing sheet. I know i'm not formating the point correctly and i get a position error. How can i get the point location of two intersecting lines in my border to hard code the location?
Error:

I use a CommandManager.Pick command to select my drawing view and i want to put information of this view to a prompted entry in my sketched symbols, i have many same symbols in my page and i want to put a different description for each symblos but with a same prompted entry name, ex.: <NAME>

Thing is, I am creating a symbol in drawing and using it many times in one sheet.Now when i prepare a next drawing, i can not use the same symbol.so what i have to do is i have to create a symbol everytime for each drawing.I am not able to maintain consistency.
I have been toying with the welding aspect today and cannot figure our how to glue two parts together the way I want.
What I have is two pcs of 1.5" SQ tube (from content center) one with the face butted up against the side of the other. The weld will show on the top and bottom (straight sections) but will not fill the edges where the radius's from the tubing is (are?).
Inventor 2014.
I have a simple welding assembly: a plate and a cylinder (boss).The boss has a through-hole of 0.3125.The plate has a hole of 0.332.The boss is welded to the plate with the holes being concentric.
I tried to perform a machining operation by creating a sketch, projecting the geometry of the holes, and creating a threaded hole at the centerpoint projected.
The thread size I had selected was 3/8-16, and this is where I run into the issue. When modeled, a tapped 3/8-16 hole measured 0.307 (which I assume is the threads minor diameter). Obviously, 0.307 is smaller than the two concentric holes and Inventor is unable to create the tapped hole.
According to the tapped drill size chart found in any machinist reference, 0.312 is the required drilled hole diameter to tap a 3/8-16 hole. Am I missing something as how to create this tapped hole after welding in Inventor?
I know I could make the holes smaller on the Plate ans Boss, but then they would not accurately depict what is being made in our shop.
I just tried the weldment in 2014 and welding bead looks plain, like a simple chamfer. Is there any way to make it looks more realistic like 2012?

My question is: How do you make drawings for your different welding stages? When making my acquaintace with welding environment, I have encountered following scenarios:
I would like to make a drawing of an individual part from assembly, with preparations visible. This can be done by choosing preparations-state of a weldment assembly, followed by choosing a part from a pull down-menu. However, parts list still refers to whole assembly whereas I need only that one part. No worries, I’ll just hide those I don’t need.
Machining-stage produces a drawing where all previous weldment stages are visible as well, including preparations and weldings. Drawing used for machining the welded structure shows a lot of things that doesn’t need to be there, such as grooves. Empty grooves even, if I didn’t bother to define the actual weld beads there. I suppose this is as designed, but looking the assembly with the machinist’s eyes who would only see filled grooves, I would like the ability to choose if I want those stages to show or not. Again, parts list shows every part of an assembly. Guy who does the machining requires only the assembly level information.
I imagine that deriving the welded assembly would solve some of the issues.
I have this odd problem that when i want to do welds on a assembly, the machinng (holes) disappear. So i cannot put welding between a pipe and a hole made in a weldment.!

View 2 Replies View Relatedit's possible to export informations stated in "tailing note box" from all welding symbols? The reason why I'd like to do it...it's because each weld in the drawing has his own number and I'd like to be able to work with these weld numbers in MS excel. It means I'd like to be able to export all the weld numbers and also to change these weld numbers in the drawing via MS excel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

My RCP at 1/8" scale looks okay. Yet in my 1"=10'0" POT plan,
I would like these exit lights/signages to appear double in size when printed,
(since POT is merely a schematic)
From 1/8" scale to 10' scale (96 to 120), the symbols by logic should appear
80% smaller, not larger.
Can this be done with annotative block?

I used to work with older versions of autocad where i just draw a line and extend it by grabbing the vertexes of it. But in 2012 when i draw a line to anothers end point it welds the vertexes and if i want to move it the original line moves strangely with it.
I just want all my lines to be sepperate unless i tell it otherwise...
I'm trying to draw a pyramid with CS5, but

apparently won't let add 45 degree symbol to the bevels.ai file.
When I save an IDW as a PDF using the 'Save Copy As' function the spacing on the diameter logo for dimensions running up the page gets lost and makes it difficult to read and confusing. (see attached pic). I am not sure if it is a style thing, or a template issue, or just a general inventor fault.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen using "Hole and Thread Feature Note" to annotate a counterbore in an IDW, I can add the parameter for the counterbore depth (red circle in the attached screen capture), but the symbol is not available in the symbol drop down list (blue arrow).
Seems like an oversight that the parameter is available but the symbol isn't, especially when the symbol is used for the parameter toggle. Is there a way to add it to the drop down list?
In IV9 SP1, is there a way to set what the default weld symbol is in the IDW? Every time I place a weld symbol, it randomly defaults to something different.
As the vast majority of our welds are fillet welds, I'd like that to be the default.
We've been having trouble with all our IDW's, whenever we put a dimension or text with the diameter symbol it plots as 'Q'.
Even in print preview it still appears as the diameter symbol, although when actually printed, it comes out as 'Q'. To combat this in the meantime we have firstly been creating PDF's which display the correct diameter symbol and then printing.
i.e Ø30 on IDW prints as Q30 on paper.
