View 9 RepliesI'd like to use an "NPT" Hole Dialog thread but it doesn't show up in the Thread type list.But it does show up in the Thread Dialog/Specifications Tab/ Thread type list so it's available.
I definitely have "NPT" in my Thread.xls & I have my Options/Files set to point to the correct Design Data folder.

My colleague installed IV2013. He has excel 2010 installed in his PC also. However he cannot create thread hole (thread option is grey out).

Could not find file C:Program FilesAutodeskInventor 2013Design DataXLS13XLSen-USThread.xls containing thread data.
I can drill a hole as needed, but can't thread a hole at all. Not with the Tapped Hole function when drilling the hole, or after drilling the hole then using the Thread Tool. Inventor will just not let me create threads this way outside of cutting a coil.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add a thread class to the thread.xls. (that part is ok)
The thread is M26x2.0
I can't seem to find any information for me to simply plug in the values into the .xls, so I am thinking that I have to crunch some numbers. which is fine. I just want to make sure that this image below is the correct the reference for this task.
using the pitch, I should be able to calculate all my min and max values, but the xls has class column and a tap drill column, how would I determine these values??

My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.
I have an assembly (ex: test1.iam) that have many parts.
There are 2 of them, that I what to make only one assembly, and I would like them to stay in same the position as in test1.iam.
How do I do that?
I have a helix I've made, and I want to turn it into a thread in a hole I've already made.
I'd also like to make a matching bolt to fit the said thread. Keep in mind my thread speficics are not importan this is all merely for a proof of concept.
I do know know if auto cad offer a say to make a bolt and so on w/o too much work -but I've attached the said file and the helix I'm concerned with is in the "threads" layer.
what kind of work flow I can use to make an assembly adaptive as possible..I need to make a machine fixture that requires cut outs for three parts. The fixture is made from a 8" x 5" x 0.19" thk piece of UHMW. I've made the "blank" and it features the work planes I need to place the three parts that the cut outs are derived from.
At first I just started the assembly and placed the parts where they should be and then used sketched outlines to define the cuts. However, since the parts are there they get "cut" as well.
I was wondering if I could make adaptive sketches linked to these parts and then import THEM into the correct plane. I could then use them to define the cuts.
find out a way to make some sort of parametric assembly.
Where I work, we make conveyors and those conveyors need legs. Those legs are all built the same except for the height and width. They are made of 2 tubes with a cross shaft between them + bolts, washer, plastic end cap.Is it possible to create some sort of iassembly or ipart for this? When creating a conveyor I would like to choose the height and width of those legs when I import them into the assembly.
I have the Silicon crystal (as attached herewith along with he parts and the assembly). It is a simple and small structure which I created from 3D Cartesian coordinates. Now, I need to repeat this structure in X Y plane to make a bigger structure.

For example there are:
C: Part1
C: Part1 Part1-01
C: Part1 Part1-02 ...
C: Part2
C: Part2 Part2-01
C: Part2 Part2-02 ...
I need a macro to make the change in the assembly. You need to replace Part1-04 to Part2-04. Which method should apply for this?
Is there a way to have inventor make each part in an assembly have a different color? I like to work in assemblies like this because it is easier to tell the parts from each other. It's just time-consuming to go through and change everything if the assembly was designed with realistic colors. I am thinking there might be a macro for this, but I don't have much experience with macros so idk.
(extra brownie points if the method has the capability of reverting back to realistic colors)

I have a sketch on a component. That component is being used in an assembly. The assembly drawing (.idw) does not show the sketch on that component. I have made them visible on the component, but don't want it visible on the assembly model. (only the assembly drawing)
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I double-click on a component in an assembly to edit it, the rest of the assembly becomes transparent (or translucent is a more accurate term). Is there a way to create a visual style (or use some other method) to make the entire assembly translucent like this, just as I'm working with the assembly performing all the usual assembly-type operations? For example, I can operate under the "Shaded" visual style, or the "Wireframe" visual style, or the "Monochrome" visual style.
Is there some way to work with a "Translucent" visual style so that I can see the internals of my assembly as I'm placing parts, applying constraints, etc.?
I have a big assembly. It used to have aprox 280kB.
I have created the five flexible assemblies and it grew up to 2100KB and became
quite slow even with a lot of supressed parts.
The question is: should I blame the flexible stuff for this slowup?
I'm trying to make an oil pump from an inventor assembly file. Whenever I import the assembly, 3DS only recognizes the assembly as one object, so I had to import each part. Whenever I try to do a link constraint, it rotates the object in the wrong direction.
View 2 Replies View RelatedYou can organize a multi-threaded work with data through Inventor API? For example, there is a assembly and I need the first part of assembling a list of items to consider in a data set, the second part of the list - in the second data set, the third - the third and so on up to N, where N - depends on how many threads can run in the system . Whether these flows are processed and to receive data in parallel? Or go to the consistent implementation of this algorithm will first be processed by the first part, and only after it will start the second ...?

I am having a terrible time getting the thread modeler to work correctly for an M16x 1.5 thread. I have tried multiple approaches to get the correct thread dimensions output.These are the steps I take:
1) Create hole (I've used both major and minor thread diameters,16mm and 14.376mm)
2) Apply Inventor threads (M16 x 1.5)
3) Select threads from tree using the Add-in thread modeler "Controller"
4) Analyze dimensions finding both cases yield the wrong dimensions.
This add-in would be very useful and a great time saver if it would work correctly.
How to add a Thread to both the Nut & Bolt....i always use the Thread Tool but i would like to also know how to add an actual thread.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Inventor 2013 Professional Ultimate and am having some issues. I can not seem to get the Thread function to work. When I go to apply a thread I get the follow error....
When I go to search the directory, I find that the Thread xls document is infact there, but it is not located where the program thinks it should be (XLS Folder --> en-US Folder)
I also made sure that the Design Data location was correct within the Application Options...
A reboot of the computer did not work.
In my project file, under design data folder options, I have it set to c:designsStandardsStyles. This is where I have my thread.xls located.
When I try to place a threaded feature, Inventor gives me a warning that it cant find the Thread.xls file.
It is looking for this file in c:DesignsStandardsStylesXLSen-USThread.xls. Where is it getting this path from?
We are using inventor 2012 at my school and have recently purchased a makerbot 3D printer abd having lots of fun. However i recently created a model that has an M40 Thread as part of the model. However when i try to 3D print it, it doesn't recognise the thread and it isn't printed. I see the thread on the ipt but once it is saved as an stl it seems to disappear.

When working in the drawing environment it is easy to accidantially snap the dimension to a thread symbol (the arc around the hole), instead of the actual hole.
I don't think need dimensions to snap to these symbols.
In the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.
I use the following code to get the information if a thread is right or left handed from an outer thread:
'Gewinderichtung Gewinde1If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = True ThenGewinde1_Richtung = "RH"'Else If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = False Then'Gewinde1_Richtung = "LH"'ElseEnd If
Now I also need to get this information from a hole feature but I was not able to adapt the code correctly. The error I get says that "HoleInfo" for the type "HoleF eature" was not found.
Aside from manually adding RH or LH to a hole note leader, any way of getting the HOLE Direction (left hand or right hand) into the leader note?
