How can i increase the size of the hose beyond 2" max that Pipe&Run allows it to be? I need the hose more for a visual rather then its acual function. I'm guessing i gonna have to change its paremeters right? if so, how do i and what needs changed?

I'd like to be able to vastly increase the size of the triad in the 3D Sketch environment - when sketching the triad is tiny and does not increase in size when zooming, this makes snapping to its planes extremely difficult.

I'm putting flexible hoses in an assembly and need to use a few different sizes. So I create run1 and set the hose to be 1/2" hose. Then I create a run2 and change the hose size to 1/4" but it also changes the size of the hose in run1. Is this supposed to happen? How can I get two different sizes of hose?
I've just been going down to the sweep feature which makes the hose and adding dimensions to the ID and OD so I can control the size. This is a pain and doesn't seem like what should need to be done. Is there a way to have different hose runs be different sized hose?
I downloaded a hose fitting ipt file from the Parker website and did the Tube and Pipe Authoring thing to put it into the content center as a new family in a new read/write library. When I browse for it to use as the Start Fitting on my hose, the new family does not appear in the list. What is my problem?
The new library is checked in my Projects configuration. I have been monkeying with the NS column of the family and can't seem to get it back to its original format now.

I need to make a 1/8" diameter flexible hose, but the sizes listed for the Parker Hydraulic Hose only go down to 1/4". The closest solution I could find is here:

Here is what I did:
In my assembly, click "Place From Content Center"
Find "Parker Hydraulic Hose"
When I right click on it, the only selection is "Add to Favorites"
Double click on "Parker Hydraulic Hose"
Go to "Table View" tab
Right click on a row, but there is no "Input" selection.
I had a hydraulic hose connected to an elbow fitting and now it has been changed a straight fitting.
What is the proper way to do this so that it is still adaptive?
And how can I reconnect the hose to the new fitting and have it adaptive?
I've developed a dynamic block for a standard bulb flat profile cross section using parametric constraints to alter the sizes of the profile. I also made six visibility states for altering the penetration type of the profile through a construction element. It works like a charm on smaller drawings, but on a typical master sectional drawing the file size increases up to 20 or so MB given to the fact that there are over 4000 copies of the block in the one drawing (the dyn block itself is around 100 KB). This makes the drawing almost impossible to work with as you may well imagine. I uploaded the block if you want to take a look at it.
Maybe I'm missing something here because I have searched online for similar problems and found very little occurrences of the same. I tried auditing, -purging, wblock to another file, everything I could find or think of nothing seems to work. Is it just the way it is with files containing so many dynamic blocks or is there a way to make it work.
Any good hydraulics fitting library? I have had some success with Parker, but it's still lacking models of lots of their stuff. I've been to the cbliss.com website, which has a lot, but specifically I'm looking for flareless fittings (high pressure hydraulics).

I am drawing hydraulic steel pipes using the 3d sketch command. I enter in the points representing the change of direction of the center line of the pipe as if it had no bend radii.
The points are entered in using absolute X,Y,Z coordinates, choosing one end of the pipe as 0,0,0.
I then join the points using the line command. I then put the bend radii on using the bend command.
I then draw a 2d sketch of the 2 circles representing the id , od of the pipe on a normal plane at the start point 0,0,0
I then sweep the 2D sketch along the path of the 3D sketch. I then place axes at the center of each straight portion of pipe . I then place points the intersection points of consecutive axes to replicate the original setting out points (3D x,y,z coordinates) that I used in the 3D sketch.
Then I create my idw with 3 orthographic views (showing the relevant axes as a symbols in each view, an isometric view and a coordinate table showing the x,y,z coordinates of each labelled change of direction. I then pull the pipe into an assembly and put the fittings on each end.
This is another IDW showing the fittings and a parts list. I have inventor suite 2012, along with tube and pipe. However I have never tried it.I don't know how it works, maybe it would be better to use that?
Another question on the measuring of pipes. If a sample is made and then backdraughting needs to be done how do you measure it.
Method used before I arrived was measuring lengths and angles. Highly inaccurate. Never worked. Pipes never drawn. Ended up being photographed only, which was not good enough to make spare parts for service technicians in the field, they had to go out to measure on site and make up on site.
I introduced measuring the change of direction vertices of the centreline of the pipe as if there was not bend radius.
More accurate, but highly difficult to measure. Use steel rules and squares. Never right the first time. Always have to check putting the pipe on top of a full scale drawing.
Tried to improve method of measurement by printing out a A0 piece of graph paper and using that as the background to lay the pipe on. Better/easier and more accurate again, but still not spot on, have to check and adjust using the pipe on top of a full scale plot.
Short of buying some type of expensive 3D measuring machine, which in our case would not warrant the cost as we do not do this type of drawing 100 per cent of our time, not even 30 per cent, what is the best method of measuring pipes accurately.
I have been able to get pipe styles etc. and create some hoses but they are not exactly behaving like I thought they would. When I create a hose, some of the points are on the entry and exit of hose clamps, and any of these points seem fully constrained when I looked at the sketch color. I have also created points on the route by entering a distance along an axis or by picking a point offset on a surface or another hose and its seems these are causing the problem when the assembly moves. These points seem to stay in the original position they picked. Is there any way to keep them fixed to the point they where picked on the surface of a part, so if the assembly moves everything updates correctly.
I also wondered if there was a way to set the length of a section between 2 points to allow for the movement of an assembly.
I have a cantilevered arm that must rotate from 0 to 90 degrees. I would like to lift this arm with a hydraulic cylinder. How do I (using Dynamic Simulation in Inventor 2010) graph the actual load that the cylinder is under for each degree of rotation of the arm. I can use the spring/damper/jack joint (using negative values, reverse of a jack) and apply a load and graph this but the load is constantly increasing. In the scenario of lifting this arm the load will actually decrease at some point of rotation. I would like to see the true loads throughout its rotation.

Till last week the batch tool was working properly to do this action. Since yesterday, when I use the same action the batch works but the files are with 25KB (before they were between 100 to 200 bytes).

in the "Workflow Options" of Camera Raw there is the option to increase the file size by setting the Crop Size to a greater value then the native of the file itself.
I would like to understand if upsampling with this option can bring advantages (and/or cons) to the image quality, and in that case which ones, in particular for the printing of such files in A3+ and A2.
I need a picture resized (larger). But it is a very small picture and when I resize it, off course, it is not worth looking at anymore... I did capture some of the talking on vector based and pixel based, but how do I adjust the pic so I can resize it?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe created a wellhead stand (top and bottom plates has od of 18" and the body has od of 16.75" thk of 0.5") and ran the stress analysis.
Because we have a cylinder attach vertically to the wellhead stand, so we added the gravity and force (40,000 lb) on the top plate.
Our question is about the wind load. We know there has a software call robot structural analysis but that is not an option yet. And we looked up other pages and knew that we can convert the wind load to pressure. Basically the wind load is on the one side of the hydraulic cylinder (around 13feet tall and od of 6") and rod (around 12 feet tall and od of 4"). But where do we add it to the wellhead stand? on the top plate (flat face) ? or the body (cylinder)?
We attached a sample part. the orange parts = hydraulic cylinder. the green part = top plate. the magenta part = body.
I need to design a platform (total load 5 ton) that needs to be pulled up and lowered with one hydraulic cylinder that operates a cable system. The cable needs to go via wheels and other things to get in the corner of the platform. (I hope you can visualize what i mean with this task)
I wonder if there is a way to simulate cables (or ropes) in Inventor. And if so how can i do it.

I am trying to use iMates names to place a hydraulic adapter into an assembly. The adapter has two male ends - one end with an insert iMate matching a cylinder iMate and one end with an insert iMate matching the hose fitting. When placing the adapter, the iMate names are ignored and it is mated backwards using inferred iMates.
Also, I get an error because it wants to mate new instances of the part to the unconsumed iMate of the part that was just placed (which I guess would place parts into infinity). I have changed around the iMate names and matching names every way I can think of, but the names still are ignored, and it uses other deferred iMates.
I'd like to write an article for my blog about increasing the size of the images without getting it blurred or pixelated.
I usually use a combination of facet and despeckle to improve the resolution of the oversized image.
I've also tried a plugin that supposedly resizes the images and worked on a fractal based concept, but to be honest the results were not very convincing.
How can I increase the display size of anchor points? i.e. the vertices.? they are too small to see clearly. i am used to vertice point size of coreldraw.

I found several things online that worked... except they decrease it by TWO points. Not one. They are:
Command Shift <
and
Command Shift .
Both work... except they decrease the font by 2 point sizes. How can I make it go down only ONE point size?
PS I'm using CS4. And I can't select all the text because I need some of it to stay as is... while reducing the size of other text. Oh, and I'm on an iMac.
When converting the colour of a Jpeg to CMYK in Photoshop CS5 the file size is increasing.
The original image is 352KB and after saving as CMYK it is 2.1MB
Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
I'm using a lot of images for a print project so need to keep file sizes small with resolution of 300dpi. The image dimensions are really small, only about 30mm high so they shouldn't be this large a file size
I am using a clipping path but this doesn't seem to be effecting file size (I checked by saving it as RGB with a clipping path which stayed small, and by saving one without a clipping path in CMYK which was huge)
Where do I set the keyboard shortcut for increasing/decreasing text size in Photoshop CS5? I know it is supposed to be Keyboard shortcuts, but I don't find it in there.
