I've managed to get my wheels to rotate, but how can I get them to turn in the same direction as the box when it starts to move sidewise? ? I tried to create an angle with the origin of Part 1(Assembly 2:2) and the "golv", but it interfeared with other constraints.
View 4 RepliesI want the wheels to rotate and turn as the box starts to move sidewise. I tried to suppress the angle but It still did not work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rotate a set of wheels that are moving like a locomotive train wheel and having problems. I was able to animate the wheels to move like a locomotive wheel by linking and turning off the z axis inherit for the red rod (see attached images. Image ex04.jpg.)
The problem came when it was time to rotate the whole thing. I grouped everything and rotated the wheels around as a group. As the red rod had is z axis inherit turned off once it started to detach from it location(ex06.jpg), which was kind of expected.
I am not sure what to do to solve this problem. Do i create a bone structure with IK handles to resolve this problem or is there something else better to solve this problem?
I’m working on a project where I need to make a cable that is adaptive to 4 wheels, where 2 of them is moving.

I'm creating a small simple mould tool where my customer wants to machine the core and cavity directly into the die set itself (no physical inserts). I've created the core and cavity and placed a die set around them. I know that you can combine inserts, but can you conbine the inserts to the die set?

Since im going to create many different retraction system and many different hood in the future, to be used in many different combinations. I want to be able to create a master project that includes smaller projects so i can still work all the projects independently.
I have a model with solid bodies. I have used the combine feature to make cuts outs in some plates. The geometry is complex to model so Extrude cannot be used for cuts.
The body used for the combine can be at different angles and sizes. Due to this some of the combine features will not be needed or have no effect. This leads to the error message:
" The feature as specified did not change the number of faces (and may not have affected the part). Accept the feature that resulted, or use Edit Sketch or Edit Feature to change the feature definition." Is there anyway to suppress this feature automatically using i Logic?
how I can combine the bend function & flange in an animation. The problem is that I'm unable to use flange when the plate is nearly 98% flat (which I need to remain the radius for favorite parameters - bend function).

Just wondering, if I have several seperate idw files and I want to combine them into one master file, is this possible? Would be handy to have all my drawing on one file instead of the 30 or so seperate ones it will become.

I have created some curved straightening vanes to go inside a large square duct 90 degree elbow. Each vane starts with a 6" long straight section the its follows a fixed radius through 90 degrees. When I "unfold" the part the resulting face becomes two separate faces. When i right click to export as dxf i can only export one face or the other. How can I combine this into a single face to export?

Car:
Now I am looking for a few different variations and colors if possible.
1. All white wheels (lips, bolts and the center faces)
2. White lips but leave the center/bolts alone.
3. White lips with red center
4. White lips with a light blue/turquoise color center
5. White lips with brown/peanut butter center
Just recently so many car cover magazines have wonderful covers on them. I have searched for how they achived this look. But i have come up with very little. There are 2 old threads about how to get the wheels and background look like the car is moving, but in fact the car is stationary. The hardest part is how to radial blur the wheels but have the brake caliper frozen still. I have taken a picture from Easton Chang! He was the orginal one that posted about this. That was in 2003. You can find his work everywhere now.
I know one thing is that you have to make a selection of the wheels and transform them so they are flat. But still don't know how to get th caliper and rotor look like they are frozen. Just look at Easton's work.
The problem is that I can't toggle Steering Wheels by pressing shift+W.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen working to get the wheels to rotation for 14 days or more and finally i hit the wall now.
I linked it with gizmos and could rotate left and right and move it forward and backward everything works very well. I also used wire parameters and linking the gizmos.
The other way i made it was with motion controllers, position list, position xyz, rotation list and ruler xyz and, i did add couple of those and i also used wire parameters, it also worked very well.
BUT, doesn't matter which i use, as long i rotate the wagon more then 180 degrees, the wheels rotates backwards, How to solve that without using max script, path follow nor splines or lines.
I want to move the wagon by moving 1 gizmo, dummy or point and keep the freedom without linking it to spline or lines.

I am making a cart that whenever you move it, it should rotate the wheels automatic. I did this using expressions. At this moment I have a code what makes the wheels spin when the cart is moved on the Z-Axel but now I want to have it work on the X-Axel as well so the cart can make turns.
This is the code I'm using on the wheels: frontwheels.rotateX = cart.translateZ*40;

I have an assembly wherein one part is mated to another grounded part, with a face-to-face coincident mate. The click + drag type of movement appears to move the part, while continually solving this constraint.
However, it seems like there is no way to do a rotation in the same manner, where the constraint is continually updated. There appears to only be the "Free Rotate" command, which ignores the constraints.
Is there really no way to do this in Inventor? The application is that I am laying out a mold for many, many small parts, and I am trying to move and rotate them into position to get good packing efficiency and density. Each part will be attached to a mold base with one of the aforementioned face-to-face constraints, then slid & rotated around manually.
This seems like a really important piece of functionality. Solidworks can certainly do this, do a part rotation in an assembly, while solving for existing constraints.
This is my i Feature inserted. When I try to insert it and rotate it, the slot and nubs do not rotate. Also, if I try to mirror it over the plane, the slot and nubs do not mirror. It always stays the same direction. I am on Inventor 2011. Also, If I try to rotate it 90 deg, Inventor crashes.

In 2013, just placed a view in an idw. Now I need it rotated 90°. In pre2012, there was a rotate Horizontal and Rotate vertical command where we could pick the edge and it would align to it.
Has that been taken out of 2013 or am I just overlooking it? Restarted Inventor and that didnt work. I did not restore the marking menu because I have some customizations that I dont want to lose.
For what its worth, Wiki help shows the "Rotate View" command in the video..... maybe I don't have the full version...IDK. Looks like I am missing several commands here, like Apply Design View.
So I have set up a new style for rotate balloon text in Inventor 2011. But I am running into a problem when I pull the balloon away from the view to have a leader it does not stay rotated.
