AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Obtain A Vertex From Edge Midpoint
Nov 7, 2012
I need to define a mate constraint with a workplane as EntityOne and a midpoint from an Edge as EntityTwo.
API-Help tells me valid objects are planar faces, linear edges, vertices, cylindrical faces, conical faces, spherical faces, revolved faces, work planes, work axes, and work points.
The Edge object gives me StartVertex and StopVertex, but what about the midpoint?
Im trying to dimension the midpoints of a series vertical beams thats perpendicular to the x axis. How to dimension the midpoint of one beam to the midpoint of another beam?
Normally i just select dimlinear and then ctl + right click "mid between 2 points", but this way just seems time consuming when you have a series of them to do, is there a better way to dimension a series of beams from one midpoint to another midpoint?
IV11, IDW.Is there a way to Disable Midpoint snapping while Dimensioning?It seems to get in the way a lot.A lot of the Lines i have to dimension are small and it's Always trying to dimension to the Midpoints of them rather than end points.Not a bad concept.. just in my case it really gets in the way..So just wondering if there is a setting somewhere to turn it off?
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?
I am polymodeling and want to restrict a vertex to moving only along one of its corresponding edges. Seems like there was a drop down for this but I am totally missing it right now.
I have a character I have been working on for a while. All of the sudden when I try to extrude an edge, target weld switches to vertex and does not weld. Target weld is greyed out under edit meshedges.
I did play with some UVW unwrapping, but have removed that.
Is there any way to obtain the X and Y location of an iFeature that is placed on a center point? I cannot find a way to relate the iFeature to the point or vice versa with VBA. Holes are easy to relate but I am stuck on relating iFeatures.
My goal is to obtain the X and Y location of several iFeatures placed a piece of steel channel.

I'm trying to obtain a louvre iFeature for Inventor 2010. the ifeature on the c-bliss website no longer seems to be available... it redirects to zeevix.com or something.
I 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).
We want to obtain the center of mass of two or more subassemblies within an assembly. How to do it? The subassemblies may or may not be connected to each other directly.
I can't snap to a midpoint in a line. For example, If I draw a line 10" long, I can't draw a line from the center of that line. It used to give me an auto snap option to go to, but now it only allows me to snap to the ends of that line.
Say you have a square and you want to draw a line from the midpoint of one side to the other, can you set something so that it tells you when you are exactly on the midpoint of a line?
I'm new to working with dynamic blocks, using AutoCAD 2007. I have a base cabinet elevation block and want to have it so that when I change the height the door swing line stays at the midpoint of the door.
Is there a command out there that allows you to mirror objects from an apparent midpoint from like an otrack without physically drawing a line then having to erase it later? I thought there was a way to do it, but my memory is failing me.
on my work pc i'm missing two features i used to have:
- Firstly, when i click a PL i can't see the midpoint of the line, and can't drag the line like i used to. I tried to change GRIPS, but can only choose between 0 and 1 when choosing grips. 0 being nothing visible, 1 being visible endpoints of the polylines. 2 is NOT valid options that i can choose.
- I can't add a new vertex. I think the way i used to do it was to hover over the midpoint and it would suggest if i wanted to add a new vertex. If this is the case, it's obvious that if i get problem 1 fixed, problem 2 will solve itself.
I'm electrical and have my own display set oddly enough named "electrical". When I set the display to "electrical" I can't osnap to endpoint or midpoint of smart walls in the background (nearest works fine). When I change the display to something else, generally it works.
Is there a method to obtain the overall Site boundary? I have not found one, if there is, but it would sure come in handy when creating reports. We must always include the project Boundary as the first item in a report, so being able to add it to the existing reports would be a huge timesaver.
I create a polyline ,and then add it's objectId to a ObjectIdCollection defined by me.After the polyline is created,I would like to obtain it's second and sixth vertexes via this polyline's objectId.
I have a 3d object and I am making my title block. I remember a few semesters ago being taught how to get your front, top, right and iso view from inserting the 3d object into the layout. I can't remember for the life of me how. The layout already has the object in it but it's only the main view.
