AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Origin Center Point
May 6, 2013The screen shot below shows three coincident constraints and a projection icon on the origin.
looks like a projection icon - what does it mean?
I want to delete the three coincident constraints. But when I delete the coincident constraints there is no Sketch origin center point (the sketch origin center point is a square-yellow dot at the x-y intersection). How to delete or move the three coincident constraints with out deleting the sketch origin center point?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Sketch Point Data From Sketch Entity
Dec 3, 2013I was trying to query some sketch points data from a profile Path using code as below. However the program stopped without telling the reason.
Code below:
i = 0;
foreach (ProfileEntity oSourceProfileEntity in oProfilePath) { switch (oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity.Type) { case ObjectTypeEnum.kSketchArcObject: { SketchArc srcSkArc = default(SketchArc); srcSkArc = (SketchArc) oSourceProfileEntity.SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkArc.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } default: { SketchLine srcSkLine = default(SketchLine); srcSkLine =(SketchLine) oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } } i++; }
AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Up Point On Different Layer To Mark Center Point Of Circle?
Nov 15, 2012I need to find a way how to insert a point or a * on the center point of a hole and put it on a different layer. The reason for this is - I am a CAD tech for a welding shop and we cut parts out of steel and we use the dxf file format for our plasma table to cut parts. For example : if i have a 1 inch thick plate and want to put a 3/4'' hole in the plate the hole will be distorted because the hole is smaller than the material thickness. For these situation we can use the plasma table to burn a point or a dot on the center point of the hole. But to do this the point or dot must be on a different layer in the dxf.

Jan 18, 2012I use vb.net draw a cube frame (just point and add edge to link points) in 3dsketch. But at the corner, I got only one edge, the others are filled that is a arc is inserted between the 2nd & 3rd edge to the corner point. There is no second edge is extended to that point.
Just wondering why I got the result. There is no fillet command in my code.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Sketch-point To Midpoint Of Arc?
Mar 16, 2012How would one add a sketch-point to a midpoint of an arc? For a SketchLine its easy...
oSketch.GeometricConstraints.AddMidpoint oSketchPoint, oSketchLine
However, I can't see how to do the same operation to find the midpoint of a SketchArc. The interface of course has a selection filter for this so I assume the API can do the same?
Photoshop :: Center Point Of Circle Different Than Center Point Of Polygon
Apr 5, 2013In Photoshop / Illustrator, when I create a polygon, and rotate it around it's center point it wobbles. When I scribe it inside of a perfect circle, and rotate it around the circle's center point it rotates smoothly. Basically proving that (at least according to these Adobe products) that the center point of a circle is different than the center point of a polygon scribed inside of it.
An image – the dots in the center are the corresponding center points according to Adobe:

This is incorrect according to basic math. Is Adobe aware of this bug?

Oct 4, 2011I have this assembly shown in the pic. below. I'm trying to create a point or axis in the blue corner points (to attaches something later on) but it just won't let me choose it for some reason. I know that it's possible to to do that (almost sure I already done this trivial thing in inventor.)
Any reason it's not letting me choose the sketch points/line to in order to create points or axis(s)?

Sep 20, 2013It goes f.e. like this:
I draw a line (no constrains) and I can move it by grabing an end or whole line by click&hold mouse button, great.
But after couple minutes of work with part and sketches I can't grab anything. Even on new created sketches and new lines. Click and drag just open rectangle selection. Oh, between these phases there is a phase when 2nd click&hold works...
When I open/create another part it is normall, but this one I must close and open again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using ILogic To Find Sketch Point Locations
Jul 11, 2012I would like to use iLogic to find the location of the points of a line, determine if the line is approximately vertical, and apply a vertical constraint if it is vertical.
Here is the code process I envision:
1. Automatically select a straight line.
2. Find the location of its end points.
3. Compare the X-value of the end points to see if they are vertically aligned (or almost so).
4. If they are vertically aligned, apply a vertical constraint.
5. Select next line and repeat.
Is this possible with iLogic? I don't see any way of calling a line's sketch points or finding their location.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How To Obtain Coordinate Of Center Point
Dec 25, 2011I made a complex assembly from Solidworks few years ago. I imported it to Inventor 2012. How can I find the coordinate of the center point of the: a) parts/sub-assemblies, b) the complex assembly as a whole? Under Application Options, I have already checked: Sketch->Display->Coordinate system indicator. Under the assembly tree, I can go to the Origin of each sub-assembly/part and make the corresponding Center Point visible. However, I want the x,y,z values.
I copied and pasted a sub-assembly/part to a new assumbly file and then used VRMLout to export. When I imported the .wrl files to another application, the location of the parts/subassembies are not correct. I think they all became (0,0,0).

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Constraining A Part To A Sketch Point In The Assembly Environment
Aug 7, 2012Unfortunately, it's chock full of proprietary customer data, so I can't share the parts or the assembly. But I can pretty well explain what needs to happen, and I've attached a JPG that shows a bit of what I'm doing.
I need to design a bracket to hold an RPM sensor at a certain gap to a spiral bevel gear. I've got a huge assembly model (non-Inventor) from the customer, as well as the model for the sensor. My plan is to start a master IAM, insert the customer assembly, insert the sensor and constrain him, and draw the various hardware I need around the sensor.
So I start by making a work plane that matches the bevel angle and is in a location so the end of my sensor will be flush to that plane. Create a sketch on that plane, then project 2 relevant axes to create the appropriate "origin" from which my location will be based. Place a point on one line, at a certain radial distance and constrain my point.
So now I've got a point and a plane that are where I want my sensing face and my centerline axis to be. What now? I was thinking that I'd create a work axis "normal to plane through a point", but this workflow isn't available in the assembly environment. I can't constrain a solid to a sketch point, so I really don't know what to do at this point in order to put the part where I need it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Redefine Center Point Of Loop Of Edges?
Mar 10, 2012way to redefine a point that was placed in a model with a "Center of Loop of Edges" command? Inventor doesn't seem to recognize type of placement unless it's been selected from the Point drop-down menu, but picking this in the midst of a redefine only creates a new point, it doesn't redefine the original point.
As it is, I've been forced to just delete the original point, create a new one and go from there.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Start And End Point Of Various Lines In Sketch To Excel File?
Oct 26, 2012I have been searching for a macro to export the start and end point of a line coordinates to excel, but I can only find information on how to export 3D Points.
Is it possible to program a macro that allows me to export the start and end point of various lines in a sketch?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Part Sketch Into Drawing Sketch
Sep 20, 2012How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?
I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations. Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.
I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist. I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.
I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way. I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option. I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.
