AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing IGES File As Solid Part?
Apr 22, 2013I am using inventor 2013. I currently have a IGES file that doesn't show the surfaces on my inventor drawings. The include all surfaces feature is check but still doesnt show all the surfaces. I just recently imported a IGES file as a soild part but i do not rememeber how i did it. Once I clicked on the IGES file to open and then click options. What do I fill out on the option dialog box that the IGES file imports as a solid part and shows all surfaces on my inventor drawings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Import Step / IGES Files
Nov 8, 2011Currently using the following hardware; HP Z800 Xeon X5677 with 24GBram and 3x147 SAS in raid configuration
Windows professional 64-bit
98% of our work consist of creating idw drawings of complete factory's plants, large 3d plant models.
Therefore we have many subcontractors and from them we receive 3D step/iges models (size approx. 240MB), we want to be able to import these in to our models. But for the moment we are unable to import these files into inventor (due to size probably), it takes very long (over 36 hours) to convert, and most of the times we get a error... or inventor hangs.
When we are able to convert these we have performance problems because of size of our models.
So my questions are;
- why does it take so long to open,
- how can we reduce these files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Standard Part To Sheet Metal Part
Aug 29, 2012In previous releases (2009 i think) when i converted a standard part to a sheet metal part i could recall all the sheet metal styles by linking back to the sheet metal template (i can't remember exactly how this was done, but it was possible with one operation)
In 2011 i canot find a quick way of doing this, it looks like i have to open the sheet metal template and export each different style (about 40 of them) and then import each one into the converted part. am i missing something? is there a simpler way similar to how it used to be done? Why have Autodesk made this more difficult?
As it stands at the moment it would be quicker for me to remodel the parts from scratch using the sheet metal template. I know this is the obvious solution, but seems strange to change something that worked well to something that doesn't!

Nov 4, 2013I am working on a research project that requires that I scan a cast object and shell it out to a width of .125 inches. I used my school's 3D scanner to scan the cast, and I have a good model. I've made it a surface and exported it as an STP and an IGS into Inventor. I used the Sculpt feature to make it a solid object, but then I could not shell it because a few flaws in the cast made miniscule holes.
I then tried to use the scanning program's spline feature to cut the cast into splines to loft in Inventor. However, this made 5 non-connected lines at each location, so I couldn't loft. How to create a solid and then shell with either method?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Solid Into Thin Bodies
Oct 17, 2012I have a pressure vessel which I am trying to analyse. Whenever I convert the solid into 'thin bodies', it loses some of the data. For example, a fillet and a supporting ring (refer to pic attached). I haven't been able to find any 'shell element' settings to adjust.
Also, I need to manually add contacts otherwise the vessel seperates into multiple bodies.
Even though the solid model is in contact, the 'midsurface' shell seperates it. Refer to part file attached.
I briefly tried to run the analysis as a solid model, but gave up as it was taking forever just to mesh.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Convert Blocks To Mass Elements In Order To Get IGES
Oct 9, 2013I started to convert ACAD blocks to mass elements in order to convert them to IGES.
I need to import AutoCAD 3D objects to Factory Design Suite. The conversion takes
quite some time on my 1230V2 Xeon and I wondered if I could reduce the precision of
the conversion in order to speed things up?
All the Options like facetdev don´t apply to the conversion but to the view in ACAD only.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Split Part Of A Solid For Edit Then Reassembly?

So what I need to know how to do is remove just this one face from my solid, turn it into a seperate part so that I can create a lip on the solid for it to set on once it is reasymboled.

Oct 7, 2013I´m trying to write a script to convert all the blocks in a drawing to mass elements and export them to IGES thereafter.
I would like to select everything first. Then launch refedit and select all the blocks.
After that I would like to convert them to mass elements. When saving to IGES I would need to select everything again.
I pieced the following script together, but it fails. I think it is bexause of the request to select objects manually. Could I add a delay which would enable me to select an object?
Also it looks like ACADA is not accepting the "all" command when pselect is called by a script.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Non-associative Solid Base Feature In Second Part
Sep 19, 2013“Associative body copy API Sample” 2013 API help.
The above code in the API help shows how to do an associative or a non-associative copy in an assembly of one part into another part. ..BUT the non-associative copy does not always work correctly....
I have been testing this sample code and notice the following limitations with the lower part entitled “Create a non-associative solid base feature in the second part”...
The code uses the proxy body for the source object but it does not use the proxybody for the target object and therefore the relative positioning is wrong for the nonparametricbasefeature when it is created in the target object if the real target body is in a different place than the targetbodyproxy (e.g. it has been rotated/moved in assembly space).
I notice that if you perform this manually using the “copy object” button the relative positioning is maintained correctly even if both target and source objects have been rotated/moved in the assembly...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Import DWG With Solid Hatch?
Jul 10, 2012I have a drawing in AutoCAD 2013 with carefully laid out hatch patterns for traced text using clean, closed, non-overlapping, polylines only. (with islands in the holes). When I import this into Inventor sketch the hatch comes through but the islands do not. Such as the 0 gets completely filled in. I don't have the ability to edit this hatch and add the islands.
I can import the dwg without hatch and fill it within Inventor, but I need to have all the enpoints constrained, or the Fill command won't recognize the boundaries. If I import this with contraining the endpoints, then the import takes a very long time (I gave up after waiting 5 minutes).
