Is there any other way to import MDT 2005 models to Inventor 2013 with having MDT 2005 platform loaded.
If not, where might I find MDT 2005. I have looked everywhere and it seems to be non existant. It would be alot faster than rebuilding anew in inventor and engineers hate to redo something alredy done correctly.
after 2013 was installed in my colleagues computer he now has the option to include Layouts when opening the publishing command, which didn't happen before. It is a slight pain removing these from the selection to be published and I was wondering how I get it to only select models and not layouts when opening the publish command as default.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAt work we have recently upgraded to Inventor 2013 Pro, Although Inventor isnt the most widely used program in the company so its hard to find time to do some set up and get it going smooth. My problem is that i am working on a large process plant all done in inventor and the file is quite large. It takes along time to load and is really laggy when inside the model. Now the model is based in my local office's server my question is if i was using Vault would it keep a local copy on my C:// rather than trying to refresh all parts from ther server. If it is a matter that when working with large files using Vault is the better option than i will need to take some advantages
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.
Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.
Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?
Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?
My computer with Windowsxp has AutoCad LT 2005. It's locked up and I can't get to my files. Fortunately, I have most of the AutoCad drawings I created backed up. I'm looking at a new laptop with Windows 8 and will purchase AutoCad LT 2012 or 2013. Question: Will I be able to load the drawings created in 2005 into 2012 AutoCad?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDrawing created in AutoCAD LT 2005 - in AutoCAD LT 2013, several layers are not present. Tuned off all filtering, etc. Noted that some blocks will not appear in layouts even though the layer they are on is not frozen in the layout.
Not clear why layers in LT 2005 will not show in LT 2013 I attached offending file.I am self-taught and LT 2013 is a little daunting for me.
Forgot to mention that layer AX-COL-SYMB-2 does not show up in LT 2013. Also, block for column line symbols (circle/column numbers) will not show in layouts in LT 2013, but will in LT 2005.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHas anyone been able to successfully import a collada Model containing textures into Photoshop CS4? I've been trying to open collada models from google's 3D warehouse, and when I open them, I don't see anything. It's clear that Photoshop creates a 3D layer, but you don't see anything by default.
When I play around with the imported layer, it's clear that some of the 3D information is there. If I set the render mode to box, wireframe, or any of the settings that don't deal with textures, I can actually see something a rudimentary version of the model.
I actually tested importing a collada model in CS3 Extended at work, and it imported fine, showing the textures and everything. When using CS4, I get the problem described above.
I've actually seen this issue both on Mac and PC versions of CS4.
I am trying to get a decent workflow to get 3D models created in PDMS into 3DS max for animation.

In autodesk inventor 2013 is there a file format (for example .igs, stl, solid works format, catia, pro/E format, etc) that when imported into inventor will appear with its detailed history tree? for example if I try to import a solid works part into inventor 2013 will it appear as one block or will it have its history tree showing the original sketch and other features that were used to make it? If all imported parts will appear as blocks in inventor 2013 regardless of there format, does this latest version of the software have tools similar to direct modeling software (such as KeyCreator) that make it easy to make changes to the 3D imported part, without having to completely remake the part in inventor? Are such tools in the inventor fusion 2013 software instead?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly complex solid model built in Autocad 2013. I would like to dimension it now. I have various individual parts plus sub assemblies and weldments etc. What are best practices for doing this in an organized way? Should I copy various parts over to other drawings and dimension them separately? It seems odd to pile everything onto the one model. I know that Autocad is not Inventor (which I am somewhat familiar with), but does it have some similar tools for doing individual part drawings to keep things manageable?

This isn't fast and convient at all to rotate your hole drawing to fit it in the landscape paper for example.
