AutoCAD Inventor :: Graphical Glitch With Sectioned Parts
Sep 14, 2010
When rotating and viewing sectioned parts I keep having a graphical problem, normally I loose the face the part is sectioned through, leaving a view into the hollow shell of the parts. Other times the problems get worse and random sections become visible. This doesn't happen all the time and both of these problems are solved if you click on the part. I have included a pic of a test piece that hopefully illustrates what I am talking about.
I am running Inventor 2011 SP1, on windows 7 with a Nividia Quadro FX 580 with the latest drivers.

I have a 3/4 sectioned view rep (Locked) in an assembly. On a drawing, When I select the correct view rep,
- I don't get the save view orientation ( though It show/hide the correct parts). I was expecting this because I had locked in 3D
- I don't get to see the 3/4 section.

I started with a Left side view of a part and created a sectioned view right down the middle so you can see the insides from another view. the part is pretty big so i used a Break to shorten it to fit the page. I also placed a smaller and separate isometric view of the same part and want this view to inherit the same break. How can I do this? If I go into the display options of the iso view, all the cut inheritance options are grayed out and can't be clicked. I've seen this done before, but i'm sure i missed a step somewhere.

what would cause the origin 3d indicator in the graphical window to be enormous? I'm talking 4x normal size.
Also, in the sketch environment, the little green and yellow dots that represent sketch points are huge, and the grid has gone really small.
Have tried changing graphics mode to "Compatibility" and selecting "Software Graphics" - No change.

I've got inventor 2011 and for some reason every time I try to add a lip and groove to a drawing it shuts the program down??
I've tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it again but it made no difference.

I get the above now and again when going into the manage tab. Closing and restarting Inventor will sort it but it's a bit tiresome.

My inventor crashed while doing a Save as.. Jpeg, now my coordinate sistem indicator looks bigger than normal (photo 2) and indicators in drawings and modeling enviroments now look bigger and pixelated, (see photo 1 and 3 where im selecting a centerline and dimension respectively).
As you can see, the icons dont dinamcally size according to my zoom, so if youre viewing the dimension from a wide zoom angle, it will get covered completely with the green dots, it was working fine before that crash. (Small and scaling icons with good resolution)
System is an hp z600 workstation, no amount of reboots have worked remedy the issue.

Multi-body parts, using Make Components.
1) When you click the Browse folder icon to pick an Assembly to insert into, the 'Component Properties' dialog pops up, asking if you want to create a new assembly.
2) Whether you answer yes or no, no Browse Dialog pops up.
3) The path is left at the default of your workspace path. You can manually type in the path and Assembly name if you know it, but no ability to browse to it. It wants to create the new assembly in the default workspace folder.

The rotor is composed of cylinder and a solid lofted between two 3D profiles. The attached part file is correct. To reproduce the error- change the "inlet_width" parameter from 12mm to 10mm or less (it is a parameter in "Blade Profile" sketch). On updating the part there will be infinitesimally thin solid layer on outer diameter of the cylinder.
-3D Sketch profile is a projection not from the "Blade Profile" sketch, but from a plane offset from it. This was first attempt at a fix. I suspected the original tangent work plane to intersect the cylinder.
-Creating a new solid body from loft was the only way to avoid errors such as "non-manifold solid".
I will be creating multiple versions of this part and I need to be able to safely adjust the "inlet_width" and "outlet_width" parameters. I will be grateful of any proposed fixes/workarounds to that glitched behaviour.
EDIT: The version is Inventor 2014 Educational.

When creating a break out view on a top level assembly that includes frame generator components, the break out function does not break these parts out. I know it is working because the non-frame generator parts are disappearing and being broken out as you would expect but the frame generated parts seem to be immune to the command. is this a common fault or something wrong with my particular model?

am using Inventor 2013, and have always had the ribbon undocked and on my 2nd monitor along with the browser bar. However, after a reinstall onto a new PC, i have a glitch - on the Enviroments > Stress Analysis > Display panel, the Adjust Displacement Display drop down bar is unusuable - if i redock the ribbon, it behaves normally, but when undocked, i cant select it, and it seems to be corupt with the letters "ult" in front of the word Adjustable - i've attached a screen dump to show the docked (OK) and undocked (with the error at the bottom) -

I am trying to replace a custom part - created from a content center part - with a copied part with a different name. (I am using the replace tool in an assembly.) However, Inventor is not replacing the part with the part I pick but rather the content center version of it.

On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.

I am working on an assembly that is designed around a box (bounding box) that could change size. I modeled the bounding box and placed it in a new assembly file. All other parts have been created within the assembly by referencing that bounding box with starting work plane and project geometry.
The problem comes in when I change the bounding box dimensions. The work planes for each additional part, which were defined by the faces of the bounding box, do not move when the sides move. Also, my projected geometry is not updating correctly. This is a simple box, with all 90° corners. So, all associated parts (at this point) are just rectangles.

My parts list on my idw do not update when I make changes to the model. Specifically, I have deleted a bolted connection on my design and replaced with a different components but the parts list table does not update - all I see is a lightning bolt in the browser next to the parts list but I cannot update it here.

I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??

Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."

I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.
So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.
One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

I have a .idw that I'm trying to make a parts list on. I select parts list and highlight everything. There are two screws that are not showing up on the parts list. I cannot select them manually either. It's acting like they are not there. Even if I do a complete parts list (adding the assemblies parts into one big list), they still don't show up.
How can I select these parts? What is wrong with them that they do not show up in the parts list?

I have been working with an assembly today where it is ideal to mirror parts and have figured out how to reuse the parts rather than create new parts. Now I find that when the parts are mirrored, they ate not retaining the mates. Where do I find the setting so they either retain their mates, or prefferably retain the mirror so that if I move the origional, the mirror moves as well?

Whether the number of tabulations (for example in a ruled surface) changes the graphical/visual appearance of the surface or whether it actually affects the accuracy and subsequent quality of the surface when machined. In other words if you machined the object with a surftab1 set to 6 and the same object again but set to 32 would the latter be physically smoother after machining it?

The Publish to PDF option in the Sheetset Manager which I believe is using the native/built-in AutoCAD 2012 PDF driver is creating PDF's with incomplete and inconsistent graphical content. See attached PDF examples wherein the PDF "...(CONTENT GOOD)" created via CutePDF Writer contains the desired output...
Note both PDFs were plotted with essentially the same plot settings, driver excepted...

In PS CS3 you could open as many graphical files as you wanted, move them around on the scrren, edit them, then create a new file and copy those into it creating a composite image.
Now, with CS6, I haven't figured out how to do that yet. If I load an image, it takes up the entire workspace, with rulers going negative to hugely positive with no reason to do so. If I load another image, I can't see them both unless I tile. if there is a way to put ALL files, say 10 of them all on ONE workspace at once? I'm almost ready to go BACK to CS3!

i installed Photoshop cc on a Trail to check if it runs well on my pc, when i opend/or made any image on the main area were you edit the Graphics go mental at places were collor changes... even if you open a new image and use the gradient tool,its not gone be on the final image or anything its just in that window..
so i fought maybe theres something wrong with my AMD ATI HD7950 Graphic's card thats pretty new, but after reinstalling all of the drivers and software for it its still there, just went through the troubleshoot page.. (windows7)

I opened a 16 bit image. When using the crop tool in default mode (NOT classic) when the entire canvas is visible (so not zoomed in), I switched to the crop tool, click on the canvas to get the crop rectangle, then zoomed in more and more. At some point the image goes black, with bits of image showing through, and further zooming reveals a bunch of noisy colorful pixels.
This does not happen in 8 bit mode.
I've not yet had this happen ever on any non-retina computer.
It does not happen when you start already zoomed in somewhat.
It does not happen when the crop tool is set to Classic mode.
It does not happen in Windowed mode, only in Full Screen With Menu Bar mode (so press F once).
I can reproduce it.

Using LR 4.1, I have uploaded a custom logo as my identity plate. When constructing a web gallery in the web module, I am unable to center the logo in the galleries I create - it always aligns left and looks terrible.
*** this is NOT a question about watermarking - I know how to center watermarks ***

I'm a long time LR user (currently LR 4.2), but just recently started producing a series of limited edition prints that include a graphical identity plate centered below the image. As LR insists on having to scale the identity plate, the result is that I can never produce a print where the text appears crisp and sharp. Rather there's always some perceptible softness in the text.
I'm using PhotoShop to produce the graphical identity plate and have produced it in the exact dimensions as it should appear beneath the print. When I bring it into the LR print module, however, it immediately scales it to 100% of the page size so I'm left with no option but to select a scaling % that most closely represents the original size.
Is there a solution to this? I only recently purchased PS CS6 and am thinking I should probably be doing this within that application, but honestly I'm just more comfortable in LR. For this print, I have the page size set to 20" x 30" and the cell size containing the image at 16" x 24". I think I know the correct process to duplicate this within Photoshop, but verify the procedure if LR isn't up to the task.

I have a file thats doing something wierd, when I open it I can see the layouts just fine, the existing viewports show linework from model space. However, when I switch to the model space tab I don't see anything, my mouse cursor dissapears when I move it over the drawing area but reapears when its moved over the ribbon or the prospector/command prompt. Also, when I create a new layout with a new viewport, nothing is displayed in the new viewport. It's like the program cant regen the view? When I went into one of the existing viewports and zoomed out I could see all the linework in model space but when I switch to the model tab it won't show any linework or the UCS indicator or my mouse cursor!?!
