AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Two Different Sizes Of Hose
Dec 4, 2012
I'm putting flexible hoses in an assembly and need to use a few different sizes. So I create run1 and set the hose to be 1/2" hose. Then I create a run2 and change the hose size to 1/4" but it also changes the size of the hose in run1. Is this supposed to happen? How can I get two different sizes of hose?
I've just been going down to the sweep feature which makes the hose and adding dimensions to the ID and OD so I can control the size. This is a pain and doesn't seem like what should need to be done. Is there a way to have different hose runs be different sized hose?

I downloaded a hose fitting ipt file from the Parker website and did the Tube and Pipe Authoring thing to put it into the content center as a new family in a new read/write library. When I browse for it to use as the Start Fitting on my hose, the new family does not appear in the list. What is my problem?
The new library is checked in my Projects configuration. I have been monkeying with the NS column of the family and can't seem to get it back to its original format now.

How would you draw a spiral garden hose? If you don't know what i mean by spiral garden hose Google it. How would you draw the hose.
And would it be possible to make it flexible?

I need to make a 1/8" diameter flexible hose, but the sizes listed for the Parker Hydraulic Hose only go down to 1/4". The closest solution I could find is here:
[URL]........
Here is what I did:
In my assembly, click "Place From Content Center"
Find "Parker Hydraulic Hose"
When I right click on it, the only selection is "Add to Favorites"
Double click on "Parker Hydraulic Hose"
Go to "Table View" tab
Right click on a row, but there is no "Input" selection.

I had a hydraulic hose connected to an elbow fitting and now it has been changed a straight fitting.
What is the proper way to do this so that it is still adaptive?
And how can I reconnect the hose to the new fitting and have it adaptive?

How can i increase the size of the hose beyond 2" max that Pipe&Run allows it to be? I need the hose more for a visual rather then its acual function. I'm guessing i gonna have to change its paremeters right? if so, how do i and what needs changed?

I am trying to create a flexiable hose, i dont want it to move or anything. I have tried to sweep a circle along the path, but my pline is not on a coplanar line so that makes it difficult. tried using extrude. tried using a helix but can't get the right angles.

I was just wondering if there is an easier method of getting a 45 degree corner on flanges of 2 different sizes. 1 flange is 1" and the other is .75". I have been cutting the .75" flange down and adding to the face of the 1" flange.
The corner I'm talking about is on the far right of the part.

Is there any way while using position views to have a part that is adaptive resize? It's easy enough in master view to change placement of parts and have adaptive parts update, but when I try it with position views, the parts will not adapt. Can it even be done with a positional view?
Right now I am using position views and level of detail to suppress two different parts, when I would prefer the same part just update in size. I need the position views so i can show different positions without making new assemblies, but cant get the adaptive parts to work in a positional view.
I just want two parts to move position, and the part between them to update in size depending on the distance. Easy in master view, and so far undo able in position views.

I can get length, width, height information from part or assembly below Visual Basic Express 2010 code.
Everything is perfect. But if any plan or axis visible in document than results comes wrong! I think box object calculating the dimensions not only according to raw part. It adding the axis or plan dimensions to the result!...
Dim invDoc As Document
invDoc = Form1.invDocumentTakas
Dim dLength As Double
Dim dWidth As Double
Dim dHeight As Double
[code]....

I am using the keyway generator to place a keyway in a hub and shaft, but the depth of the keyway (and the height of the associated key) is not right.
I am using an 18mm and a 20mm dia shaft, both of which should use a 6mm wide by 6mm high key according to the ISO standard. [URL]
But Inventor gives me a 6mm wide x 4mm high key and the keyways to fit; so if I use a standard 6mm high key in real life it won't fit. There doesn't seem to be any way to change to a custom key height.
Or is Inventor using a different set of standards? It's pretty good at matching standards in other places, for example the gear and fastener generators, so this seems strange to me.

I have two faces of different size and am trying to sweep out a curve section between the two. But since the two faces are of different size it only follows the path with the original face selected.

I have a rule in the .idw drawing template, that displays a dialog box asking for the size (A, B, C, D...). Once the size is selected, it displays the appropriate border and title block. There is a small & large title block, so an A or B size gets the small, and a C or larger gets the large. This works great.
My question is, how can I have the appropriately sized Revision Table (small or large), automatically ready for use, based on the drawing size? The (2) Revision Tables are defined in the Styles library.

I need to create mtext with various size fonts and have them center vertically along a line. I can do this with two mtext objects, but would rather have them all in one. When I try it in a single mtext object, the bottoms of the letter align even with the justify set to middle center. How can I get one mtext object to align vertically along the centerlines?

I'm trying to set up a dynamic block library for my company. For some reason, whenever I bring in certain blocks, they come out way smaller than when I put them in.
insunits is set to 2 (feet)
Here's the weird thing. I created (for simplicity) Block A and Block B. I created them both in the same drawing, put them both into the toolpallette from the same drawing and then pulled them right back into the same drawing. Block A comes in fine... same size. Block B, even with the block already in the drawing, comes in tiny. What was 2.5' when it went into the toolpallette comes out at .21'. A picture is attached... the top row are the blocks created in the drawing, the bottom are what happens when I bring them back in from the toolpallatte.
I have tried created seperate drawings... tried different scales, deleted and recreated the toolpallette, etc.

Basically, I have one text size in the model space, say 20, and one text size in the paperspace, say 0.008. These are dramatically different. I assume that the reason is due to scale, because your model could be enormous etc, and therefore it makes sense to have such a small font size in the model space.
The problem I'm really having is that I use the same dimstyle in the model space as in the paper space because sometimes I will dimension in the model space and sometimes in the paper space.

i have created a door schedule and it seems to be missing the most important part, the sizes! When I go into Style Manager and click on the door shcedule and try to add columns size does NOT come up as a choice. I have added size to the property sets of the doors. I have tried everything I can remember from older versions of Autocad and it just won't put in this bit of information.

I know how to edit the pipe part properties to change a pipe from the size indicated in my parts list to another common size for the particular material specified. However, I've run into a non-standard size that is not in the dropdown menu, how can I add another size to the list?
Basically, I need a 1.5" on the list in the attached screep cap.

I am trying to change the sizes of markers individually. When I change the marker of one, it changes for all of them. I think this has to do with the point groups. I am able to add all points to a new group but I cant specify which markers i want in that group.

For my AutoCAD class we are supposed to make a dynamic block of a basic theater flat which we can then stretch into different sizes. I was able to do the vertical stretch no problem, but when it comes to the horizontal stretch, the lines do more of a move action then stretching. I have redone it several times but it still won't stretch properly.

I have been revising some older blocks dating back to 2003 and earlier. What was a file size of 28KB increased to 127KB! In most cases the only change was converting text to an attribute. As a test I took a 2004 file and saved it - with no changes - to another name and the file size increased from 28KB to 124KB!!! That's an increase of over 4.4 times! Many of my 1998 - 2006 files are in the 26KB - 40KB range.
That's a bit much of an increase over several ACAD versions! Is there a way to reduce the file size? I did perform a complete Purge before saving. Have I missed some clever trick?
I am running ACAD Version 2014 with SP-1.

I`m using AutoCAD2004 with HP Designjet 800 Plotter.
The Plotter is connected to network.
I want to add some Custom Paper Sizes, however, when I open the options for the plotter(User-defined Paper sizes&calibration), I can`t add or modify paper sizes. The `Add` button is not available.
I set my computer to `Power Users` but still cant add. How to make the `Add` or `Delete` buttons usable?

I am trying to load multiple Text Sizes into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 so that I can have a list of the standard text sizes (3/32", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8") to choose from the Annotation tab > Text Group > Annotation Text Height drop down list, instead of having to type them in each time.
At first I thought that I could just add the different text sizes using the TEXTSIZE variable command into my drawing template file, but apparently the Text Sizes entered are only retained for that particular session of AutoCAD Civil 3D. Is there perhaps some other system variable that controls this setting being retained for more than one session??
Then I thought I could just create a program to load the sizes. I originally tried creating a C# .NET program to load the text sizes, but ran into a problem. I then I tried creating another version of a C# program, as well as an AutoLISP script, thinking that it was perhaps some limitation to my approach (which still may be the case). But I still keep running into the same problem. The problem is that only the last text size specified is actually entered into the list of available text sizes. The other text size values appear to be processed but are not retained in the Annotation Text Height drop down list.
The following is my first attempt with C#:
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
public class CreateTextSizes : Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication
{
public void Initialize()
{
// Create following Text Sizes: 0.09375 (3/32"), 0.1975 (3/16"), 0.25 (1/4"), 0.375 (3/8")
[code].....
The following is my attempt with AutoLISP:
(defun c:LOADTEXTSIZES()
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.09375)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.1975)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.025)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.375)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.09375)
)
