AutoCAD Inventor :: Isometric Pipe Spool Drawings
May 25, 2010I have been asked by one of my clients to provide an isometric piping diagram for a product that we have modeled/developed for them. We have already provided models, review drawings, design drawings, and fabrication drawings for this product but what they are looking for is a simple isometric pipe diagram where they can hand write their weld test data and put the material data sheet number references. I have submitted a sample of a drawing we completed with an isometric view of this piping as a full view (iso view created by IV) but they are requesting something simpler like they are used to (one-line iso pipe spool-type thing with symbols instead of modeled valves, etc.). I am embarking on a process to get them to change their standard but I was wondering what you experts thought while I am doing this (in case they refuse).
I don't want to create drawing that isn't tied to the model somehow for obvious future-revisions-parametric reasons so I was wondering what you think my options would be for keeping this all in IV (instead of just doing something seperate in AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions Disappear When Updating Model (Tube And Pipe Feature)
Jul 19, 2013I am having trouble with dimensions disappearing in the drawing when I update my model.
I add the correct dimensions then when I update my model, all dimensions on the drawing disappear and I have to make them all again.
A little more info:
I am using the tube and pipe feature to drawing tubing inside of an assembly.
Process:
1) I draw the tubing routes and populate them (to show an actual swept tube)
2)Right click on the newly created route in the explorer and open the tube.
3)File->new->drw.
4)Add necessary dimensions to the tube drawing.
5)Save and close drawing
Up until this point everything is fine.
6)Edit the tube route in the assembly and save
7)Upon opening the drawing of that tube route ALL dimensions have disappeared.

AutoCad :: Drawing Isometric In 2D
Feb 6, 2008I'm currently taking an CAD program and I'm having trouble drawing a few objects in isometric perspective. These objects must unfortunately be drawn in 2D. I've drawn the orthographic perspectives for each object based on the dimensioning given however I'm unsure how to proceed on certain portions of the drawing. This is all homework and I doubt using any customization is allowed.
The first image is a top view of a fixture. I'm having trouble with the central portion which I draw by first constructing the vertical arm then using the array command.
Is there some way to create an array of this object that respects the isoplane that I drew my isocircles in?
If not, I'm able to look at the original using the VPOINT from the 1,-1,1 point and get the perspective that I want. Is there a way to use the UCS and trace over the orthographic perspective then take that traced image back to the world X-Y plane? I've tried this before but once I get it back it simply looks like the orthographic perspective.
The following drawing I'm simply having trouble drawing one particular curve which the green arrow points to. The drawing is of two perpendicular intersecting cylinders one having a slightly smaller radius then the other and the curve in question represents the edge formed by the intersection. The research I've done indicates that it's an ellipse however I'm unsure how to draw it correctly and the one I put in is simply an estimate. How can I construct the correct curve? Even if I could change viewpoints I'm not sure I could find a way to trace this one.
How to draw 2D isometric images from orthographic projections in AutoCAD as it seems many of the sites I find are either trivial or focus on drawing by hand.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Tube And Pipe Route Sketches In Drawing?

Nov 6, 2012I recently started drawing in cad, and i have a couple problems. At time now i am trying to learn more of isometric drawing and i have couple questions about drawing a particular figure:
21.jpg
So in there i don't know how to draw that "thing" witch i highlighted in red. I don't know at witch angle i should draw it's center(center length should be 50 cm). If I would know that, i could easily draw a isocircle above. So how do i find this "right" angle?
Second question would be about isofillets - i read here in forums that i should do them in isocircles, and i did that and i got good results - it looks very good, but the problem is, that in this drawing, it shows that those isocircles should have a defined radius - R6, R16 and etc, but if i do round corners with isocircles, i dont get that result(in R16 case radius is even way too big). So maybe there is a way to do them "right" and have them defined? I attached that drawing .

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Draw U Bolt In Isometric Drawing?
Nov 19, 2013I am trying to draw a "u bolt" in an isometric drawing. I found one solution, that served the purpose of giving the customer the general idea of the stands we are trying to sell them, but I'd like to know if there is a way to draw it properly.
I have attached a pdf to show what I came up with. Pipe Stands.pdf The only way I could think to get it to work (look right) in isometric view was to draw to vertical lines, make an arc across them with the elipseisocircle, and then use the path array to fill the U shape with the isocircles. This keeps the tubular shape, and the number of circles resembles bolt threads.
My problem is that the u-bolt is only threaded on the ends, the arched part should be smooth. Since this u bolt is to clamp fiberglass pipe to the stand, those threads (in my drawing) could cause damage. In this instance, I just explained this in the email to the customer, but I'd like to find a way to draw it proper.

Nov 25, 2013As this software continues to change it's behavior of function over nite. I am assuming due to new updates in inventor. I can no longer get my drawing to update per changes made to the model. This started about 2 weeks ago.
Change are completed perfectly, I open the drawing and it still has the old model represented. When I right on the view and open the model. Model contains all of my changes, but the drawing does not seem to care or notice that changes have been made and saved. I even closed inventor and reopened.
Even though I'm paid by the hour I really do not want to delete all views and start all over.
So the only answer is to delete all views replace them re dimension them and of course add any time consuming sketches.
10-15 minutes change now is going to take 3 hours. WHY can't autodesk make a stable piece of software?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Of Frame Generator Model
Nov 8, 2012Inventor Pro 2012
After creating the desired frame using frame generator, I am creating a detail drawing. When I insert the parts list, the info applied is using the full length of the tubes before it was cut to fit. (to get rid of the over lap edges of the frame)
Attached is the part file used to create the frame. (Can't attached the frame, too big) I used
Also attached is the drawing to clarify the issue.
Total length of the frame is 116.75"
In reality is it made up of 2 short end pieces 23.375" + 2 x for pocket tubes (10") plus the center tube 50"
23.375+23.375+10+10+50=116.75"
Now from my part file, i just made 3 lines for the total length and 2 intersecting lines for the fork pockets. The parts list is using the initial creation length and not the altered cut length? Does this make any sense?
How can I get the parts list to represent values after a cut is done to the tube?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Model Reference In Drawing
Dec 26, 2013I did some digging and found the option to replace a model reference in an entire drawing, but I'm looking to change the reference in just a view. Consider the picture I have attached. I'm depicting top down views of these layers. Each layer requires changing the view identifier each time I drop a view. This would be considerably less time consuming if I could just copy/paste the view and change which part file it was pointing to.
