AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Project Geometry From Model Sketch -> DXF
Mar 6, 2013Is there a way to hide project geometry from model sketch? I am modeling a sheetmetal part where I need to sketch centermaks, part number etc. for laser cutting. I want to use xy planes for symmetry reasons when sketching, but I don't want them to appear in dxf. This is a problem if I create a dxf directly from the model.
Usually I create dxf files from drawing by adding new sheet where I create flat pattern view from the spesific part (excluding machinigs etc, only thermal cut boundaries visible). In the drawing I am allso able to show model sketches and hide unwanted project geometry. Is it possible to include these sketches to dxf?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Part Sketch Construction Lines?
May 16, 2011Is there any way to hide construction lines in Part & Assembly sketches in the same way you can in a Drawing sketch?
I know you can change the line colour to the background colour but this makes the lines invisible in sketch as well.
Not being able to hide the construction is making some layouts pretty pointless since relevant detail is obscured by the construction lines. Grounding the geommetry and deleting the construcion lines isn't an option since the sketches are part of the design development and not fixed.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Dimensions In Sketch Mode In Drawing Environment
Sep 28, 2012I was giving a hand drawn wiring diagram (original.jpg) and it is a rats nest!!
I was asked to re-draw this and put it on our drawing template.
I have the plugs and terminal blocks drawn up and now I am about to attempt to add in the wires, but the sketch is so filled with dimension lines and values, it is going to be a task to try and make sure every line I draw is correct. This would be much easier to do if the dimensions could be turned off as the wires I am drawing will not be constrained.
I don't think there is layers options inside a sketch mode, or a if i start a new sketch I don't think I can project that sketch to the new one?
The only other options I can think of was to delete all dimensions and apply FIX constraint to everything! or
I guess I could have modeled the plugs and blocks in position and added them to the drawing, projected the geometry to a new sketch and added in my wires??
There must be someway to toggle the dimensions??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't See Dimension In The Sketch
Apr 4, 2013This is the second time this has happened... While putting in the dimension on the rectangle, The dimension just doesn't appear!
But it can be changed. When this happens I just delete and reopen another part.
Why is this, and, can this be changed?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Driven Dimension Without Sketch?
Nov 16, 2013I want to creat a driven dimension that I can use as a reference dimension in another part. Is there an easy way to do this without creating a new sketch, going into a previous sketch, making a long function based on other dimensions, etc.? For instance, just like the measure tool, but it stores the measurement.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Exits Upon Dimension Edit?
Dec 9, 2011Seen this recently? Using Inventor 2012 SP1 on Windows 7, 64 bit. If we go back into a previously created sketch and edit or add a dimension, upon clicking the green check mark to complete the dimension edit, the sketch exits back to the modelling environment, meaning we have to edit the sketch again to continue with other changes. Obviously no big deal if I'm only editing one dimension, but how often does that happen?
This started happening prior to SP1 being installed. We have this happening on multiple computers (all with the same hardware specs) in our office. I don't believe it to be a hardware or driver issue, but I am wondering if it is a process issue. For example, we use project geometry a lot, even projecting from other parts within an assembly (non-adaptively). We also work on SAT file models, rather than geometry initially created from Inventor itself.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Sketch Driven Dimension
Aug 31, 2011In 2012 when in a sketch in an assembly all the stuff under "Format" is grayed out.
You cannot make a dimension driven, nor can you make a line construction or a centerline and you can't change a sketch point into a center point. Do I have some setting wrong?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Reattaching Existing Dimension In Sketch
May 15, 2013I have a part.I use some Parameters of this part as linked to other parts.Once I change any parameter used as linked the other parts will follow it automatically.So I have drive and driven parts.
Now for some reason I need to change some geometry in my drive part in the way my drive dimension must be reattached to other geometry points.
I cannot delete and create the new dimension even with the same name since all my driven parts will lose this linked parameter in either way and this parameter becomes static (Reference Parameter).
I wish I can preserve the existing dimension (parameter) and reattach it to other geometry.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Location For Circle In Sketch
Jan 6, 2014I am trying to apply dimension constraint for circle to add the radius dimension.
I have given the dimension location text point as input, but it doesn't take input location point to place the dimension and places the dimension at the center of circle. Please see the attached snap "CircleWithRadius.png".
Here is the sample
//===============================
CComPtr<Point2d> point2D;
TransientGeometry::CreatePoint2d(5, 5, &point2D);
CComPtr<SketchPoint> sketchPoint = SketchPoints::MethodAdd(point2D, FALSE);
CComPtr<SketchCircle> sketchCircle = SketchCircles::MethodAddByCenterRadius(sketchPoint, 3);
[Code] ........
Why the circle entity always place the radius at the center of circle?
AutoCAD Inventor :: API To Set Dimension Arrowhead Properly In Sketch?
Nov 12, 2013I have created a SketchLine entity and trying to add aligned dimension by calling DimensionConstraints::AddTwoPointDistance(). It adds the dimension with inside arrowhead (see attached CurrentWorking.jpg), however, it would be nice if the dimension is added with outside arrowhead (see attached Expected.jpg).
if there is any API to toggle the dimension arrowhead accordingly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Dimension - Unable To Show Expression
Aug 15, 2012This is the first I've noticed this, but a sketch in an assembly does not allow to show the dimensions as an expression? In a .ipt sketch you can right click and the pop-up menu has an option to show the dimensions in different forms. I do not get this in an assembly sketch.
I do not know if this is me or not. It's just curious that it does not do that.

Jan 26, 2012Octagon inside a circle... The circle cannot be dimensioned off the octagon?
I need it to have, say .25" clearance and I mean I can just make the circle the right size... but Inventor/I really should be able to do something this simple...
A circle inside a circle, same center point, you can click both and get the distance between the two?
(R-click and set circle to Radius does nothing, it still wants to dimension it from the center point)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Within Drawing View Loses Dimension Reference?
Jan 14, 2013I have a VB program that auto updates the size of a door and frame assembly, and in turn, updates the shop drawings to reflect this change. I have a view on my shop drawing that I have drawn a sketch in. I start the sketch, add my dimensions, and I use 'Project Geometry' to project the edges of the actual part around the sketch to constrain my sketch and keep it in place. The problem is, as the program runs, and the door/frame changes height, the sketch loses it's dimensional references to the projected geometry. When I go back and reopen the drawing after running the program, all the dimensions that went to the projected geometry are gone.
Is there another way to anchor a sketch to a drawing view part instead of dimensioning to projected geometries? This doesn't seem to be working, and I've tried it every which way I can think of. Oddly enough, I have another sketch in a different view that is set up the same way, and it never misses a beat.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Orientation / Can't Dimension To Any Existing Vertices Or Edges
Feb 16, 2009Why the heck does Inventor arbitrarily orient sketches as it sees fit? I often create my first sketch on the right (YZ) plane and Inventor, stupidly turns the sketch where "RIGHT" in the viewcube reads from top to bottom.
I know all the things to do to AFTER this happens, but it shouldn't happen in the first place. If I turn my sketch so that up is up, like it should be, I then have to remember that vertical is horizontal, which is now vertical. I can't change the sketch coordinate system. It's the first sketch and there is nothing to align it to.
How to prevent the above example from occurring in the first place.
This, and the fact that I can't dimension to any existing vertices or edges without projecting them first, really make me hate using Inventor sometimes. To me, these are huge problems, neither of which Solidworks has. At worst, both of these behaviors should be configurable.

Maya Animation :: Hide Non-active Animation Layer F-curves In Graph
Apr 18, 2013My current scene has 10 animation layers for a character, and seeing every f-curve from all layers, although grey and locked, when I only need to see the f-curves in layer I'm working on is really cluttering the graph editor. My current work around is selecting my active layer in the Layer Editor every time I select a rig control. Simple enough, but a pretty inefficient way of working. I can't seem to find a setting that allows me to just see ONLY the fcurves in the active layer. I imagine some of you out there may have hundreds of animations for a single game character.

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.
