AutoCAD Inventor :: Incremental Dimensions With Minimum Value?
Apr 10, 2012
I am trying to set up a dimension that starts at a minimum value and increases incrementally by 1/16" of an inch to satisfy another dimension. I've attached a pdf showing the part and the two dimensions. I need the overall thickness of the part to start at 1 1/4" as shown and as the width (Depth + 1 1/2") changes, the thickness will grow when the tongue of the part gets less than 5/8". I'm guessing this is an area best suited to ILogic, but I'm not sure how to get started.
I want to measure the minimum distance between 2 parts. But I want Ilogic to know what parts to measure according to what i've selected.
I have something like this but its not working... gives me always this error "
Measure.MinimumDistance: No entity named "System.__ComObject" was found."
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrenceDim oOccurrence2 As ComponentOccurrenceTry oOccurrence = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(1)oOccurrence2 = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(2)Catch MessageBox.Show("Please select a component before running this rule.", "iLogic") ReturnEnd Try Dim doc As DocumentDim CurFileName As String oOccurrence = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(1) oOccurrence2 = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(2) distance = Measure.MinimumDistance(oOccurrence,oOccurrence2)MsgBox(distance)
are there any other analysis tools available to find the minimum internal wall thickness in a part? I'm aware of the cross-section tool, but that only analyzes an area the user has already noticed. In a prismatic part with several cross-holes and features (cavities), it could be easy to miss a thin spot that could give up under internal pressure just by 'eyeballing' the part with Hidden Edges turned on.
I guess I could try the 'unground and move the part thru a sectional plane' trick, but I think it would be too haphazard, especially if the weak point is not thru a principal plane.
Is there a tool I'm missing or maybe something that has been added in newer releases? Maybe this is too much analysis to ask of a modeling package.

I keep getting this minimum segment length message after running tubing routes. I've already configured the tube style and entered the minimum length I want. I place tube fittings before I run tubing, so I don't include fittings/couplings in my tube style. The lengths of the segments are equal to or longer than the segment rule I entered, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error message. I also get a message saying that a segment will violate the rule once fittings are placed, even though I've opted out of using fittings in the style. To get around this error I've been having to go into each route and edit the sketch to make the problem segments longer.

When I use Derived Route I get "Minimum Length Violation(Too short to continue)". How can I fix it. Is there any parameter that I can define minimum length.
I've created a dynamic block with listed increments e.g. 36, 42, 48 inches width. The dynamic window block that comes with autocad has the same incremental stretch.
This block shows the tick marks as well as a the value in a dynamic input box. How can I have the value displayed in my custom dynamic block. All I have is the "tick" marks.
I need to conceive a Incremental Station Elevation Difference Report (Toolspace - Toolbox) where each station is worth 20 meters. But I don't know how to set C3D 2013?
I have more than 200 alignments of road network. The profile design are already done for this. I want to generate Incremental Station Elevation Difference report for all the alignments.
For this I have to select each alignment, its respective profile & generate the report for it. As am having more than 200 Alignments I will have to repeat the process 200 times. Is there any way to make the process easier like generating report for all the alignments at once?
I have created an extensive action that runs on one psd. It turns on and off layers and fills them with different colors. The batch wants to name each iteration of the script the same name. Is there any way to save with incremental names. I know the batch dialog has this option, but I think it only works when the batch is based on many different files.
CorelCAD, looking for a way to create vertical incremental numbering for schematic line number referencing. Don't see any way to do it with table. want to maintain control of vertical spacing.
In other applications, you hold down shift (quite often) as you move a slider and it jumps in larger increments. How is that done in Smoke 2013. For instance I want to move the scale value in larger increments.
I've done the full backup to an external drive. When attempting to do the incremental backup I follow the prompt to select the destication and do the browse to locate the previous backup folder.
I double click on it expecting it to be loaded into the incremental backup prompt but instead it goes into a busy state and then give me a "Elements 10 Organizer Fails to Respond" message.
what the minimum distance between two 3D rectangles is. I can do trial and error using the INTERFERE command (Acad 2012) and move the 2 groups until they stop hitting each other, but I wanted to see if there is a command in ACAD that will tell me how close 2 objects pass.
I have an old pile foundation group for 4 tower legs and I wanted to see how close I could get the new pile group to the old group. I'll try to attach a dwg file with 3 options I was trying. The old group is in Cyan and the new group is Red.
I'm guessing I could use UCS and set it on one of the piles and measure to the closest old pile, but the screen gets so cluttered. Is there a way to only show a slice through the objects?
I have got a problem with the backup-function. After making a (time-consuming) full back-up, I'd like to make a incremental backup. The first steps are the same. At a certain moment, i get the opportunity to choose the incremental one. Therefore i locate the .tly file. When i want to proceed, PSE11 freezes.
Is this a common problem, and (more interesting)
Catalogue contains a 42.000 photo 's. System: E8400 with 4GB RAM backup-medium: external drive, connected with e-sata OS: Windows 7
I have a batch of photos that are adjusted individually for exposure. Now I want to increase the exposure to all of them by say. .10 stop. Is there a way to do this in LR4 without having to adjust each file individually?
I am using a Pipe Network for all my drainage culverts on a large industrial site. I have created all my pipes from "Create Pipes from Object", which were all feature lines. While generating the pipes, I told it to use the object as my pipe invert.
I have set up my pipe rules (i.e. minimum/maximum slope and cover) to what I want. Also when creating my pipes I assigned my design (top of sub grade) surface to them. But I noticed that it's calculating my pipe cover from the middle of my pipes.
My pipes all have the right wall thickness, etc...set in the style. Is there a setting I'm missing telling the pipe to calculate it from the top of the pipe...instead of the middle of the pipe?
I have a road that I am engineering and have set up my subassemblies using the daylight standard. But i would like to force a cut section until the fill gets to 2'. so that when i have 2" of fill it will still cut my ditches.
minimum turning radius of cat 777f at 30km/hr? need to figure out the horizontal curves to use for this.we have been using 60 to 100m curves but i think it maybe smaller. small curves works with these steep terrain.

I am working on basin areas for a very large project area When I use the catchment option, it will give me the immediate area around the point I have selected sometimes no more than a acre, and it is obvious that the contributing area extends well beyond the lines of the catchment area. Is there a way to adjust the catchment area to a minimum size so it will look beyond the immediate contribution and search for the actual basin area, or am I just wishing/dreaming?
I would like to write a routine to resize the MText limits box to the minimum size required to cover the text, for background masking purposes. From the DXF codes, I see that I can simply set code 41 to match code 42 in order to set the width. However, I cannot seem to figure out how the vertical dimension is defined. (entget) shows no change in the DXF codes after I resize the mtext box.
I do know how to figure out the height that I need, using (acet-geom-textbox), but I can't seem to figure out how to apply this height the MText entity.
I export my ipt to an stl (and I make sure that I click on options before I convert and make sure the units are in mm) yet the units are still off. I am using Inventor 2013.
It seems like most people were able to solve their problem by clicking on options but even that seems like it is not working for me.
I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.
I have to find the minimum inside diameter for a conduit which will hold several cables of similar diameter (0.258"). The number of cables per conduit will be 10, 16 and 20.
I have played around with the program but I can't figure out a way to make this work efficiently. I am trying to account for the fact that different numbers of cables will (or won't) cluster so evenly or uniformly. That is, with different quantities of cables, there will be some room for the cables to orient unevenly to fill the available spaces.
I have included a .bmp file with 10 and 19 cables in the cluster.
