AutoCAD Inventor :: Machining On Parts Within Weldments?
Oct 9, 2013I have a weldment file containg a 12" i beam with a small plate welded to the top of the beam. I have to machine that plate down to its finished thickness and punch a hole thru others. I use the machining button and remove my material with no issues. The problem comes when I launch the part the machining is not reflected at the part level. Do I need do have 2 versions (2 files) of the part machined/unmachined? I am sure this is a common practice within Inventor. See attached .jpg for clarity.

Mar 4, 2013I have a weldment that shows all the preparations and weld beads in 3D. I need to detail out this weldment without the preparations/welds applied already.
I can't seem to find a way to suppress these features in the 2D drawing without going back to the weldment file and suppressing those features individually.
Can you force Inventor to ignore preparations and weld features in a 2D drawing? When I do my callouts for welds, I can't have it showing the weld/preparations in the drawing itself.
I created the drawing file using the weldment file as the base view. Running latest version of Inventor Pro.

Jul 23, 2012I am trying to produce an iFeature that can be used as a punch/slot within a sheet metal component.
I have had minor success creating basic dimples before (simple revolved features), but this time I require a more detailed feature. I haven't been able to produce this part (see attached) as an i Feature. I believe it is because I have used a loft.
What alternatives are there? (I feel if I could get a good grasp on the limits of iFeatures that I could really make my modelling more efficient and versatile).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Weldments Between Tubes Except For Inside Fillets?
Mar 15, 2012I have a tube steel frame and need to show weldments between the tubes except for the inside fillets. I then need to show sanding the welds flush. Also I need to show a rounded edge where the mitered point meets the outside edge of the tube beside it. I'm very new with inventor Attached is my curret drawing file.

May 22, 2013 I've got an iFeature created that's very handy. It's basically a reamed hole with a counter bore for a purchased locating pin.
Here's the rub: Is there a way to specify a tolerance to that hole that will come through the i Feature? As in, I can draw the hole with a diameter of 0.501" within the definition of the iFeature. That's easy. However, when I do a print, I'd like to be able to just snap a leader to it that will have the "Use Part Tolerance" box checked and will reflect the correct tolerance.
As an aside, one of the reasons I want to do this is because I use Hole Tables a lot. In a hole table, I can manually go in and change the call out for the hole to show the correct tolerance, but in order to keep the grouping together, I have to do EVERY hole individually.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Detailed Drawings Of All Weldments Onto One Drawing Sheet?
Jun 18, 2012How do I show detailed drawings of all weldments onto one drawing sheet? I have created a weldment assembly of various pipes attached together and would like to create shop drawings. Please see attached picture for model tree. I can't seem to bring in seperate views of each of the pipes on the same drawing sheet for proper detailing. Do I have to do something before making the assembly or afterwards to get those views?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IFeatures In Multi Body Part File
Jun 2, 2012I have 2 solid bodies in a part file driven by seperate ifeatures.
Why is it when i search down to the surface bodies then into say the first body, then component definition, then features, then i features it shows both ifeatures?
So it goes:
componentdefintion.surfacebodies.item(1).componentdefinition.features.ifeatures
Is there an area somewhere that only shows the 1 ifeature related to a solid?
AutoCAD Inventor :: IFeatures Failing To Load 0 Hole Centers Message
Nov 8, 2012Many of my iFeatures are failing to load & I get the following error message:
! Loading catalog D:....Boss_round.ide failed. The file has 0 Hole Centers in it's Interface Sketch.
To be a valid Template, the interface Sketch must contain exactly 1 Hole Center.
I have a sketch with a hole center on the sheet metal part I want the iFeature in. And I tried putting a hole center on the sketch in the failing ide files but I still get the error & cannot use many of my round,square, pocket_obrounds, press rib or boss iFeatures. None of the geometric shapes work either.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Table Driven IFeatures In A Hole Table?
Oct 16, 2013I have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures. These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table. I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.
By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Design Copy - Error Copying A File / Inventor Crashes
Nov 5, 2013I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.

Jan 7, 2013we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.

Aug 24, 2011I'm new to inventor, used it to design a computer case of my own, so now that I got all of my parts in ipt I need to convert them to dxf in 1:1 scale.
What is the easiest way to do that? I found some info here [URL]... but in the Environments tab I don't have any ''AEC Exchange''.
Oh and another thing, after sketching all my parts I ''deleted'' the dimensions from the view, so is there any way I can make them show up in that dxf because I will have to send the dxf's to someone who will laser cut the parts, so dimensions have to be shown of course, or do I have to add them one by one?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Changes To Cm Instead Of Mm?
Dec 6, 2011Using Inventor 2012 Premium, this problem didn't exist in 2011.
When I click "I"->New(small arrow)->Part. All dimensions are in cm.
If I instead click "I"->New and choose the Part template all dimensions are in mm, as it should. I have two .ipt-templates (standard (mm) and sheet metal (mm))
My college went through all templates we have and no one uses cm.
