I have inventor 2013 and I try to convert a idw drawing with 3 sheets to a dwg/dxf version for a supplier who has ACAD LT2012. I tried to save as LT version, but he told me he just get a picture (bitmap image). He asked me if I can export out to a 2d shape. What do I have to do?

i am trying to draw an aircraft and after drawing the windows, i got stuck. i am trying to revolve a shape around the shape of the window (oval) but it won't recognise that shape as an axis. i can't click it. is there a solution to this?

I cannot extrude a 2D shape that is drawn by lines.It appears to be linked but is not .I can see the problem saying not a closed loop or a constraint but don't know how to fix it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI`m having some trouble getting the desired shape on a cut.I used a Extrusion cut which is the desired shape except i need the cut to get deeper as it travels around the bowl.In the picture with this post the cut starts at point A and travels around to point B.I need point B to be 60mm lower as it passes point A.As it travels around the bowl from A to B the cut gets deeper..I was thinking maybe the Coil feature .
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.

I have a box shape, open in the front which will be 1 part of a larger furniture unit.
I would like to create a beveled edge along the front face to receive a similarly beveled drawer.
This has been a problem.
I've read that I should look in the surface window and choose planar surface, but the inventor 2012 that I have has no planar surface tab.
So, any better way to create a bevel on an open box.
I have a problem regarding a mechanical design. I want to make a pin move around a complex shape, always tangent to the sides of the shape. The point is not to have it animated, but I need the constrain so I can further work on the mechanical design.
I've attached a photo and the files.
I am having trouble trying to get the Loft-1 to run the same shape as Revolution-2 .Picture 1-1 shows how Loft-1 is slightly off centre to Revolution-2 at the top .could i model the Loft-1 and Revolution-2 using different tools in one command making it a smooth shape. Another problem i have is how do i make Revolution-2 at the end terminate into Revolution-1 smoothly.I tried using Loft but it kept getting fail message.Picture 1-2 shows where to terminate the end into the Revolution-1 body.

I am trying to loft a port shape for a project. I have been able to loft pretty much the same thing when part of a larger model but this time around it keeps giving me an error.
In the past i will loft the whole part then remove the inner portion to get the port.
I want to create this shape, I try to use the loft command to get the result but after I get the shape I can't do the shape on the top of the loft shape, I need to do the cut across bend. show the correct step to get this shape? Attach is the .jpg file of the part.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to draft a shape that begins as a protruded rectangle. The shape then continues as a protruded rectangle that bends and conforms to the shape of cone. That may have been confusing. The profile does not change in shape to a cone. Lets say I want to do a sweep, and use the rectangle as the profile. I pick a path that was project wrapped to the cone, and the cone as the surface. I have trouble with the outcome.
I get all kind of open loop errors, and stuff with the paths, oh and also I get an error saying that the the path is not tangient and continuous. I have spent hours trying to go at it different ways. I tried using rails and I still can't get this sweep to do what I am wanting it to do. The rectangular profile has to be perpendicular to the cone surface as it follows it for the outcome to be correct. I have attached the file.
is there a method to project the sketch onto the part so that i can then remove 2mm of that shape from the part....?
Inventor 2013 & Inventor 2014 (work)
my problem is that when I go to put in a gate (in this case a fan gate) of the type and shape shown below, I can't do it. It seems like gates have to only be above or below the parting line, rather than right on (and symmetrical about) it, and a fan gate (apparently) must always have a flat bottom.
(This is a snip of the drawing for the actual tool. I have to run some mold flow analysis on it before we authorize cutting steel. I could just model the whole 2-cavity assembly with gates and runners, and then lie to Inventor and tell it that the part actually has a sprue gate ... but I'd prefer to do it the right way.)
I have a sheet metal part which is bend to a v-shape.
I want to have a cut out across the bend area. How to project that in to a flat pattern and cut out the relative opening size in the part.
I want to update a frame generator shape so it shows as a phantom part and won't show on the parts list. I don't know how to do this. Would I re-publish this part again? I can't just change the BOM properties in the original part file. What's the best approach here?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen rotating a part or an assembly, I sometime get poor quality display that come back normal when not rotating.
Actually, I get one more complex part that is showing approximated curved edges with lines. The simpler parts are displayed correctly.
- Display quality is set to Smoother
- Changing minimum frame Hz doesn't work
- I disabled the integrated intel GPU (in the bios)
- I have good hardware, it shouldn't be a problem
I thing somehow Inventor decided this complex part should be approximated
Any other settings I can change ? Maybe a value directly in the registry ?
