is it possible to add into parts list or into BOM values of frame angles?
Unfortunately, Inventor (I use Inventor 2013) does not offer this property by default in parts list settimgs. There are mass, file name, designer, project, status, vendor etc) but nothing about cut angles...!
P.S. I add JPG file with example that I need to get.
After using Custom Profile for Frame Generator, the Part List will show total length, not individually. How to split these frame members?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created an extruded aluminium profile (attached file: Item Profile 8 80x80) which I published into the Content Center. When using this profile in a frame design, and using the Trim To Frame command, the profiles are trimmed at a weird angle (attached pdf file).

I have generated a gear set using inventor. Now I would like to 3d print the gears. I have uesd the export tooth shape to get the true tooth profile. now I am attempting to use the coil feature to generate the helical tooth. The problem im running into is in the coil tool I can only give it a Revolution and height dimension. The hight is the width of the gear, but I am having a problem converting the helix angle to the "Revolution" perameter. I have read other posts and they say that it is Helix angle / 360. I have tried that and then compared it to the original gear generated by inventor and it is not even close. I need to do this on in internal gear and match it to an external gear.

What I wanted to do is to add a custom profile to content center and use it in frame generator. The problem is that I want to write in my Stock Number iProperty the Ordering number of the profile type and the generated length. I did everything in the content center publisher, but somehow it dosent work. It always writes my published file length. I can see that Inventor has the tools to do this, but somehow it dosen't work.

At my company we have a custom CC library with custom profiles for use in frage generator. We are having a problem with one of the frames. Everything goes well when the profiles is inserted.
But when I try to "trim to frame" the intersections of two profiles, it does not trim them correctly. It trims them in a 45 degree angle. As you can see on the attached jpg file.I tried everything. Checked the sketch, deleted the profile, republished the part.
I created a custom profile, IS34, and published it successfully as a structural shape for the frame gererator. My problem is I get an error when I try to use the notch command in frame generator between two of these frame members. I have tried creating a custom notch in the profile definition, but this did not work either. I expected one profile to counter-profile the other.

I am using Inventor 2013.
I created a customized frame profile and want to publish it to the library. However the error message shows that "You d not have a Read/Write library configured......". I went to the project (default project) to change library to "Read/Write" and open the file to publish again. The error message is still the same.

Our guard frames are manufactured from extruded aluminum section (made by a company called palletti) I have when needed created a new frame generator frame member for each new x-section that we wish to use. I then draw a 2d sketch for the base frame skeleton and then a 3d sketch for all the frame work above. This I then use in an assembly to create the framework. This framework assembly then goes into a second assembly where the framework is then adorned with all the accoutrements that make up a guard frame that we can then order as an assembled frame, panels feet, hinges et al.
When placing the views for the detailing of the second assembly sometimes the view will show the wrong length for one or some of the frame members.
;note how the left and right views are different and how some of the frame members are elongated on the lh view.
I'm guessing its because of the home grown frame members but all seems to work well other wise and this only happens infrequently.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on making a lens profile and the instructions are pretty annoying as they require the calibration chart to remain in the same spot while you tilt the camera as well as move the camera around to make sure that you are tilting the camera to bring the calibration chart close to a side of the frame but not clipping it and also staying within an angle of 10-30 degrees.
This seems overcomplicated, instead, why cant adobe make a single calibration grid where the camera is positioned in such a way that it fills the entire frame as much as possible without clipping, then it simply corrects using the single chart.
With the way it is now, unless you have the camera on a computer controlled dolly and computer controlled head, you will not be able to make a completely accurate lens profile.
how to convert "real world" angles of elliptical arcs into those shown in a dxf file?
Say that I have drawn an elliptical arc with its start angle on 210 degrees and an end angle of 324 degrees. The values in a DXF file, for an elliptical arc, have something to do with the contant "PI" (3.14159). I know that a full circle is 2*Pi but how to do this with elliptical arcs!!

Is there something I'm missing here, or is just a design flaw we have to live with?
I have an iLogic rule that populates the fields shown below in our title block. The DIM. Values are strings set with H,W,L values. This works well, but I have an additional need to sort these values in ascending order, so the smallest value is first followed by the next largest and finally the largest value. (4.000x5.000x14.000). I haven't had much luck finding any information about how this can be done. I did however come across some code here that someone else was using for a similar feature.
Dim sizes As New List (Of Decimal)sizes.Add(bH)sizes.Add(bW)sizes.Add(bL)sizes.Sort()D1 = sizes(1)D2 = sizes(2)D3 = sizes(3)
This is what I have been attempting, though it does not work. I get the following error "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index". I'm not sure if my list type is correct (Decimal), but no matter what I choose it fails. The (bH,bW,bL) are the actual block dimensions pulled from the .ipt file. Once sorted I want the values of each position (1),(2),(3) to be assigned to (D1),(D2),(D3) so I can place them in my title block in the correct order.
I'm trying to contrain the end points of 2 lines using iLogic. I know the end points but I cannot get the values into the SketchPoint object. The real odd thing is I can create the lines no problem. I tried it 2 different ways shown below. The first way gives me this error..."Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". The second says "Unable to cast COM object.."

oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry
