I am using Cable and Harness (Autodesk Inventor 2012 64 bit on Win7 64bit) and when trying to create the segment I only get the error message "The sweep operation failed for the harness segment Segment1 Adjust the segment geometry and try again". It does not matter what data for diameter and bend radius I am using under "Harness properties", it never works. When checking the "Bend radius" for violation it says nothing. I am attaching the files.
Am looking for the feasibility to check space available in Segment.I've assigned a segment diameter as 2 mm, and i have 2 wires have .9 mm dia each, Now i want to know what will be the remaining space available in the segment.
in another way around, if am adding more wires in the segment will inventor give any error message stating that there is no space for route more wires in that segment,
I was making a web layout in Photoshop to use in Dreamweaver. (It is really just for a test to see how dreamweaver works...) Well, I had everything in the web layout sliced up correctly and when I tried to "save for web" it gave me this message...
''Could not complete this operation because an assertion has failed''
I try to install vsx6 on my windows 8.During the installation a message appear : "Operation failed with 0x8007047F. The specified program is not windows or ms-dos" when i close this message, the installation continue and finish successfully !I can open it, but i can't manipulate video or something else. The application failed and must be closed !I try to install on my old windows XP and that works fine !
I have these cable segments in my models. The problem I have is that when I render them or zoom out all of the work points and segment points become visible. It's only when zoomed in that they disappear.Look at the attached images for an example.I would really like my rendered videos to not have bright yellow spots.
Is it possible to edit harness properties, for instance, RefDes, of electrical components via API? We need it for integration of Inventor Professional with local ECAD software.
i have created a label in library, modified and saved. WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO INSERT????
Maybe i have this mixed up. Are we talking about a virtual label or a real label (textbox describing label)?
I would like to add a 1-12" plastic covered adhesive label at each connector to identify the connector. Usually we place a text box with an identifier and a table with the label data on the drawing.
This is what i am trying to do. Is this not right? Is this the nailboard label that inventor is talking about or am i out to lunch?

I have created a cable/harness in my assembly. I have to edit the cable to change visability to centerline display in order to turn off visibility in a drawing view. The issue is that on one sheet of my drawing I need to show the cable, but not on the others. As soon as I turn the rendered display on, the cable shows up on all sheets and the visiblity command has no affect. Is there a hotfix for this? I don't remember a problem like this in 2011.
In Inventor dwgs when I turn the visibility of the harness assembly off (the icon turns gray) the harness still remains visible in the View on the dwg. My co-worker is having the same problem. This is happening on several different inventor dwgs where the harness is not visible (the visibility is turned off) but once an edit is made to the assembly (such as making a part visible) the harness becomes visible even the the visibility is turned off in that View. I don't know if this is related to the recent installation of service pack 4 for inventor 2010 as this problem recently began occurring.
I would like to include Terminals and other virtual parts in het BOM on my drawing. For this I need to generate a report. I have defined my own virtual parts but somhow their properties are not accessible. You can see 88 items but this is the total of all segements and pins. Somehow partnumbers show as "---". I have included the report configuration file I am using.
When I try to create a custom ribbon cable I get a message that reads:
"The cable and harness library is being edited by another user or is marked as read only. The Cable and Harness Library will be opened in read-only mode. No changes can be made to the cable and harness library, but wires and cables can still be inserted into the harness assembly."
In my project file I made "use style library" to = Read-Write

I have a bit of problem that've been cracking my head. I create a wires, segments using cable harness environments in Inventor. After I created those, I want to see rendered image, but only centerlines appears. I have already change the harness settings into real image(rendered) but still centerlines appears.
Weird thing is that I create other assembly, it all works perfectly. But I cannot recreate my design, it is already so much work.
How do I ad my own terminals, seals etc. under Connecter Pin Propertiesvirtual parts, and how do get this information on the nailboard.
Alternatively, I would to put this information(seals and terminals that are to be used with the connector) directly on the connector that i publish to content center, some sort of property/text, that I can retrieve on the drawing/nailboard.
I am working on a model that uses a few lanyards to attach some pins to a plate. For the cable in the lanyard I used the cable and harness to create an assembly from segments. I just now need to know how to change the color of the wire from blue to green and also how to remove the yellow outline. I want to use the images in a manual so I want them to look correct.
I am looking for a way to link custom harness properties to equal i-properties for an electrical connector, My end result is I would like the Cable and Harness report generator gather "description" but I will not recognized the i-property " description" but if I create a custom harness property "description" it will report that. I would like the custom harness property to equal the i-property of the part, or am I going about this the wrong way?
I am attempting to model an internal 1/8"-27 NPT thread, both the through hole and the tapered part of the hole are modeled, but after I draw the helix and the polygon and orient the polygon to the helix correctly, (or even if I don't, I have tried it) it keeps saying unable to sweep object. I am using Sweep with Alignment with the No option. If I select the polygon first, then click sweep, it works, but rotates the polygon so that what I get ends up looking nothing like a thread profile.
I have tried reducing the polygon radius down to a ridiculously small value, thinking it might have been interference due to a possible trig miscalculation, but with no success, still have the same issue. FYI, I am using a .037" turn height for 27 TPI and a polygon radius of .0214", with a helix small end radius of .177" and large end radius of .189".
I have an assembly that I want to put some wires in, but every time I create a wire between pins, or a segment, or anything through the Cable and Harness tool, the centerlines don't show up. The rendered wires can appear, but without any sort of way to get at the centerline, I can't set its path or anything like that.
I was wiring up components no problem in a sub assembly, but for some reason it just won't work in my top level assembly. I thought it might be a problem with how I added pins to the components, but even trying to create a wire between 2 connectors from the content center gave the exact same results.
I have a client that is trying to use the Cable and Harness feature, but receives the following error:
"The Cable & Harness template was not found. The specified location for the project is: [C:Workspace|Design DataCable & Harness|en-US] Please verify that the template file exists.
He has Inventor installed on his D drive, along with most of his other programs. OS, etc are on the C drive. I have verified that he has harness.iam and a Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl in the following location for Inventor 2013
C:UsersPublicPublic DocumentsAutodeskInventor 2013Design DataCable & Harnessen-US. As a stab in the dark, I had him copy those files over to his workspace, and re-start Inventor, but same result. Latest updates are installed.
When I try the generate a report within Cable & Harness the button stays depressed and no window pops up. I have tried to generate the report on 2 other stations with the same result.
After I create a wire it will not be displayed as a rendered wire. There is no indication of error in the wire (to sharp angle) and this is also happens for a straight wires with no turns.
I have made multiple revisions of an assembly and in older reviosions I can make the wires and they are shown as rendered. But in the latest revision it is not possible. In a older revision I had a harness assembly than deleted it could this have any affect?
Also is there any setting that hides rendered wires that I might have turned on accidently?I have a student licence and the assembly has about 700 parts if that makes any difference.
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.
I have recently upgraded my system from a Stand-Alone version of 2009 Professional to the Building Suite Ultimate 2013 Licensed Version from my office. I am looking for the ability to use the Harness tools. Can't find them, is this option is available in Inventor.
Solution to getting a horizontal sweep to miter with a vertical sweep? Or maybe there is a way to pick a path? A feature in the full version that Autodesk deemed unnecessary for LT.

I want to draw operation drawings, I think, ı must do this like that; I must draw one ipt, and later I must draw drawings from this ipt, and idw's
1.drawing (operation); rectangular prism,
2.drawing (operation); rectangular prism and rectangular cutting,
3.drawing (operation); rectangular prism, rectangular cutting and hole,
4.drawing (operation); rectangular prism, rectangular cutting, hole and hexagon cutting,
when I change dimensions of rectangular prism, all four operation drawings must change, so I can't change location of end of part in idw's browser, but I can change location of end of part in ipt's browser, I want to change location of end of part in idw's browser, can I do this? or alternative solution...
I don't want to make, four ipt for each operations... I added a picture...
