AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Obtain Coordinate Of Center Point
Dec 25, 2011
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).

I 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.

In 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?

The 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?

way 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.

I'm having a problem with showing the both x,y coordinates for a certain point , know how can i do that , and by the way I'm using Auto-CAD 2005, because whenever i try to show it , it either show the X - coordinate or the y - coordinate alone but i need to show both of them for example this point (4.2 , 2.2).

I wonder if there is a way to get an intersecting point coordinate of two polylines(lines) programmatically.
For example, like in the below sample picture, I need to get coordinates of the points in the red cycles.
Is there any method that I can easily use?
Could I get a sample code snippet that computes the coordinates? (in C# & ObjectARX 2010 if possible?)
I've looked up "Through the Interface" and this disscussion group. couldn't find any useful yet.

Before when I was creating models the origin (0,0,0) was always set in the snap point i started the line in. Now suddenly something happend and now 0,0,0 is always starting in the Original XYZ point.
How do I get back to the old settings?

I am trying to get the coordinate of the lastly appended(added) point object.
It seems like I need to use "ObjectAppended" event.
However, when the event is triggred, it looks like the sender object is "Database" (not Point object).
How could I retrieve the point object therefore the coordinates of the point using "Database" (sender object)?

How to set 0 quardinates without screwing with the copy paste base point?
I use the command UCS, Object, Select my base point and measure from there rather than cluttering measurement lines; however, without using UCS, Previous when ever i copy and paste the base point for the copy paste is off.. yes i can reset just wondering why it does this.

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 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?

I'm having some fits with the constrained orbit center. It seems to me that It used to always be in the center of the screen when I would use Shift and CMB. Now it seems to be stuck on the center of my assembly/part. I know that I can hit F4 and long select LMB to re-center but I have never had to do that before the last day or two. I have uninstalled all the Beta Add ins I had installed and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Inventor Pro 2014.
Is there an option somewhere that puts the default Orbit Center to the center of the screen?

I used to work with inventor in a class and now lets say i draw a circle of an arbitrary radius/diameter. I mark the center of the circle using the dimcenter command.
I draw a small rectangle around this center mark (this rectangle fits inside of the original circle.)
I want to make each side of the rectangle equally distant from this center point. Since I roughly drew the rectangle around the center point, all sides are not equally distant. How can I do this?
In inventor, I would dimension each side out (dimension from the center point to each side of the rectangle), and double click the dimension and edit the numbers. I would make all the numbers on each side two for example, therefor each side of the rectangle would be two units distance from the center point.

change all circles of a certain diameter in a .dxf file to points. I received the following lisp file. For the last 10-12 years it has worked great. We create many custom sized parts that could be cut on a plasma (utilizing the circles for holes) or punched, assigning a crosshair tool to the point. Now we are switching to a laser, and want to etch a crosshair at this same location. Our solution has been to draw the crosshair and copy to each required location. Sometimes this may be 20 to 30 locations. Now I would like to know if there is a way to replace all of these circles with a crosshair. This could be a similar lisp file, or an easier manual operation. I know that I can select all of the circles using the filter command and specifying the radius. But I don't know how to assign the 'crosshair' to these locations. (defun c:ctopt ( / ename cnt ss) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "CIRCLE")))) (if ss (progn (setq cnt 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq ename (ssname ss cnt)) (if (equal (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.025 0.005) ;use this line for a radius 0.025 +/- 0.00015 ;(<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.05) ;use this line for a radius of 0.05 or less (progn (entmake (list '(0 . "POINT") (assoc 10 (entget ename))(assoc 8 (entget ename)))) (entdel ename) )) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) ) ) ) (princ) )

I have tried just about everything and the mass properties center point of gravity is coming out incorrect.
I have created a box 300x300x300 with the center of the box at 0,0,0 (for testing the cg) . The result I get is not 0,0,0 one of the values always comes out to be not zero, depending on the orientation of the box. Is this a bug?
