Having a specific font style (Handel Gothic) which is used for our company logo i find that this does not seem to be supported by Inventor.
I have attempted to import .dwg drawings into inventor with the logo but this does not work.
Another method i have tried is to draw the characters in sketch mode and then attempt to solid hatch them again with little success.,there does seem to be no facility for hathing in sketch mode!
This logo font is used on our drawing border sheets and also nameplates so our MD is keen to keep the present format.
I want to use a true type font on my CAD template. I have copied the file and saved it in the fonts folder (path x64/acadlt/windows/fonts), however in CAD when i try to select the font it is not available on the list.
I downloaded a new font (blippo.tff) and wanted to use it in photoshop. I am running Mac OS 10.2.8
I tried putting the font in the library's fonts folder, however it did not show up in PS when the application was opened. I then went to application support, and to adobe's fonts folder, and added it. Once again I reopened PS and it did not show up. I also tried this in the users's library's font folder without it working again.
I've researched for ages on google and can't find anything that explains why it won't open in Photoshop.
This is the first time I have tried to add a font. In the fonts folder in my library I also noticed many other fonts on my computer that PS did not display.
Im using windows xp home and photoshop cs if it matters, but I cant seem to install any fonts into photoshop. Ive heard that if you put the fonts in the WINDOWS > fonts folder, that something should come up to install them. Ive read FAQ's and thats all they say to do, is to put them in the fonts folder. Its not showing up in photoshop,
i have a mac computer and i am working on a cover for an undergound news magazine. i understand that there is some sort of trick to adding new fonts to the program (alledidly a code?)
I am currently working with gnuplot and some graphical output I want to postprocess in corel. I get a correct .eps file however when I want to import those files I get some font problem. For example: my degree symbol ° gets somewhat confused with another letter é. Same goes for some symbols like the greek theta. In gnuplot I use that /Symbol t for theta and its also correct in the output. However if it goes to corel it gets confused with these symbols and imports the curves wrong.
My customer is recently importing our drawings (.dxf preferably, but pdf is acceptable) and they need single stroke fonts / polylines to ensure that the file import will be successful (otherwise, with true type fonts, the contours and filling separate and shift, which makes the text unreadable).
All fonts in Inventor (.idw files) are true type fonts, and I can't find any option to stroke the fonts when exporting to .dxf or .pdf.
Raster images are not allowed, so I cannot simply export the file as an image and then back to a vector file. Any option I just don't see in the export settings...
in Inventor I use my own library with different layers, font types, colors, lineweights etc. In Inventor drawing it works well. But after exporting to DWG only colors of different layers stay the same; all fonts, lineweights change to one (maybe some kind of default) font, lineweight.
How could I repair that, I need drawing in DWG to look like the same as in Inventor. I have tried to use "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option and I have created my own configuration, but it did not work... I simply do not understand how it works. If the "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option is the clue -
Customer has sent me a 3D Autocad model. Part opens fine in Autocad 2012 and Acad Mech 2012. I need to bring this into Inventor so, from Inventor: Choose Open and select the dwg file.
From options, I select "Import". Select "Next" on the dwf/dfx File Wizard, then Finish.
Instead of Inventor opening the file, I get this dialog.... "Mechanical Desktop 6 or newer is required".I don't have Mech Desktop. How can I get this part into Inventor?In ACAD, I tried ACISOUT and picked the objects.... "339 found, No Solids, regions, or Shape Manger bodies found". Does not export.
Is Inventor compatible with STL files (probably not as I haven't succeeded getting them in)? I've got an object scanned and need this scan data as template to rebuild the object in Inventor. If STL files can't be imported, are there any other ways how to get point clouds or meshes into Inventor (or is it just impossible)?
How in import 2D geometry into Inventor so I do not have to redraw the profile, only extrude the existing geometry. I tried to export from Autocad a IGES file, and then create a sketch plane in Inventor and project the geometry onto the sketch plane, but I ended up with a bunch of open loops. Perhaps, I have figured it out and real question is how to I close open loops?
I am in the process of repairing and assembling the various systems for a luxury yacht - electrical, mechanical etc. The ultimate goal is to get a full 3D layout of parts and assemblies, then using tube and pipe and cable and harness to run conduits, aircon ducts, fuel lines....
All I have to go on are .dwgs
In the meantime I need to submit a modified .dwg to the engineers overseas to get the O.K. on swapping the order of certain components. All I need to do is change the labels text on the layout, nothing else.
I have imported the .dwg into an Inventor sketch and edited the text.
Now I am stuck. Placing the view into a new drawing shows nothing.
RMB export sketch as .dwg works, but not a single line of text shows, only the layout.
Right now I'm copying it from one file to the other... but I'm sure there is some other way. Are title blocks saved anywhere other than embebed in the file? Autodesk Product Design Suite 2012 Ultimate Autodesk Developer Network [URL]
I have created a Excel spreadsheet to impoort into my Inventor model, but one of the valves that I have created need to be a unitless/type. How do I set up a Excel cell to acheive this
A couple months ago I could export to STL files using Inventor Pro 2012 and a third party could open them on whatever platform they are using. Now when I export to STL files, the third party cannot open them and I cannot open them either on the Inventor Pro 2012 platform. Nothing has changed since the originals were sent to the third party. I have read some of the threads, but there is a lot of STL, none of the ones I read address this problem. The properties from Windows Explorer say the file type is Certificate Trust List (.stl).
We are using Inventor 2013 (Windows 7) and am trying to import an assembly created by a third party using AutoCAD. For the sake of this question let's assume the AutoCAD file contains a cube which is 10 x 10 x 10 units. The part should be 10 x 10 x 10 mm in size. We don't use AutoCAD so are unfamiliar with it but it appears to have no specified units, I could be very wrong here!
In Inventor we import the .dwg file and the cube is 10 x 10 x 10 inches in size.We can't figure out if the person who constructed the cube built it too large (reading mm off the drawing but constructing it using inches) or if we have missed something when importing the file into Inventor. We could scale the AutoCAD assemby but this could lead to a small but significant margin for error so we want to understand what is happening first.
I have an assembly designed by somebody else in Inventor. I exported it as STP under Inventor 2013 and imported to SolidWorks 2012. It took over half a day. After the import, some of the objects became big spheres. Know what is going on? I then saved a sub-assembly from Inventor and imported to Solidworks. I tried to use Feature Recognition. However, SW reported that "FeatureWorks. Part contains overlapping solids. FeatureWorks can not proceed further." In the tree on the left, I see a list of Imported objects. I cannot even edit those objects. What is the best way to import design created in Inventor to SolidWorks anyway?
I imported an IDF file from a PCB software (Cadence - Allegro) but all the components come in at the same height and holes are showing up as cylinders?
Why is this happening and how can I fix it. It was brought in as an assembly.
I am trying to import Acad 3D polylines to an Inventor ipt 3D sketch via insert -> Acad etc. Sometimes the segments between vertices come in just fine (see first pic), but other times they are all squiggly (second pic).
The Acad polylines are true 3D lines with varying X, Y and Z. I need to bring the lines to Inventor in order to sweep along them. I am using Autocad and Inventor 2013.
We are working with a business partner who has been sending up Solidworks files to import into Inventor and up to today we've had no issues. We just got a bunch of files today and when we import them they appear to be empty. Can Inventor only import certain versions of SWX?
We do not know if our partner updated their SWX or not. We have tried various settings in the Options window and still the same result. I've attached a sample file. We are running the Autodesk Product Design Suite 2012 - Ultimate with Inventor SP1.
A customer has sent me a .sat file that is 297MB. Inventor is grinding at it, but its taking a very long time to open. Part count is up to 4323 open documents and the "Importing SAT Bodies-54%".
This has been running for two hours and it seems like it is getting slower and slower. My concern here is that this machine will run out of memory before it completes. It has 8GB of installed ram.
Any tips on bringing these large files into Inventor? Would a different neutral format be any faster/better?
i am having a BOM template for the parametric modelling i have created using the excel sheet input link.
when i create the drawing from the model the default Bom part list is coming, instead of that i need to get the Excel Bom Template i have created based on the input excel link.
