AutoCAD Inventor :: Input 3D Cartesian Coordinates / Batch Input (x / Y / Z)

Feb 4, 2013

My need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.

Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate  system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?

I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly.  Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space.  In the past few days, I  found  two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree.  The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Toggle Between Coordinates And Last Input

Jan 9, 2014

How do I get the last input to come up when pressing the up arrow key?  Say I'm drawing a line & input @10,10.  When I press the up arrow, the coordinates come up.  How do I get @10,10 to come up?  I've changed it before, but I can't remember how & I can't think of what to search for.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Manually Input Points Of XYZ Coordinates

Jul 23, 2013

I have the following 8 points of XYZ-coordinates:

Location SampleID X Y Z Depth Elevation FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S1 -77.055876 39.00845 314.5 0.5 315 FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S2 -77.055876 39.00845 297 18 315 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S1 -77.055886 39.008643 319.5 0.5 320 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S2 -77.055886 39.008643 302 18 320 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S1 -77.056203 39.008736 311.5 0.5 312 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S2 -77.056203 39.008736 294 18 312 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S1 -77.056203 39.008491 304.5 0.5 305 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S2 -77.056203 39.008491 287 18 305

 These 8 points are for 4 sampling locations with 2 depths for each sampling location. I used AutoCAD 2012 a little bit before and I am new in using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. What are the key steps and tips of using the values of XYZ-coordinates listed the above-mentioned table to input manually into the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 program. Note: 4 sampling locations are in the 4 corners of a square lot and the 8 points should look like 8 corners of a box.

AutoCad :: Unable To See Coordinates / Input Bar When Draw Object

Aug 16, 2011

I just stated using AutoCAD 2006 this summer as an intern for an engineering department. The program has become pretty easy to use and I thought i was getting the hang of it.

All of a sudden, when i draw a line, circle, or another shape, i can't see the input bar that floats at the end of the line.

What im talking about is the small display that always sticks to the end of the object your drawing. It displays the angle the line is drawn at, you can see what measurement you're typing in.

AutoCad :: Interpolating Coordinates From Poly Line Other Than Input Points

Jan 17, 2012

I have coordinates for an aerofoil which I put into Autocad and plotted using pline. I have 52 points, what I want is to have more points on the aerofoil, i.e interpolate. I can probably create more points by averaging two adjacent y-points and two adjacent x-points but it would be much better if Autocad did this

the LIST command only gives the points i put in the program.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Keyboard Input Doesn't Display What Is Typed?

Apr 17, 2012

I am currently running Inventor 2009 64-bit SP2 and periodically (and only recently), I have had the problem of my keyboard keys not displaying what I am typing. This is only affecting Inventor and no other program to my knowledge. To make matters worse, it happens absolutely randomly. In fact, it happened just 4 minutes ago, which prompted this post! I was typing some words out and in the middle of the word, it changed what the inputted keys were. To give an example, the letter P comes in as L. The letter S, comes in as the letter G. The letter M comes in as semicolon. Catch my drift? At first I thought it changed to a Dvorak key setting, but even if that were the case (which it is not), why would it do it randomly?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Disable Command Alias Input Dialogs?

Jun 6, 2012

When I create a rectangular box in Autodesk Inventor 2008, shell it, and create a new sketch on any face and press E I expect to be greeted with the extrusion options. This does not happen, and a command alias input dialog appears in the status bar.

I really want to turn this off, since it has happened on other occasions as well. Since there's no other way to get to the extrusion feature, it completely halts my work.

Usually when I don't know what a feature is for and I'm not attempting to use it I expect to not see it- especially when I perform actions that don't usually bring it up. I'm not sure why the behavior has been put there. Hopefully it's not put into later versions (I've seen 2010 complaints as well) so someday an upgrade will remove the annoyance.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Draft Face Is Measuring A Different Angle To Input Parameter

Jul 22, 2013

I'm having a real problem with a part I'm trying to develop:

I'm attempting to have a single timber part that has several draft face features within it, so I can control the bevelsa on the part with iLogic at a later date. The problem I'm having is that when the "running bevel" changes direction it throws out the bevels on the ends.  (I've attached the file, it's very difficult to put into words.

But basically: When the running bevel is "forward" the end bevel measures 20degrees (as it should) When I flip the running bevel to "backwards" the same end bevel now measure 19.7degrees while the input parameter still says 20.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Path (from Sktech3D) As In Input To Add Using Path

Feb 9, 2012

Actually, I have more than 6 years experience on Catia V5 customization and vb and vb.net catia API's. What I am trying to do know is converting some applications or programs running on catia to the inventor.

The first program deal with the inventor API relating to the SweepFeatures class. So my first problem is about to find the right way to use the sketch3D for the creation of  the path which is the input of the sweep method.

(oInvPartFeats.SweepFeatures.AddUsingPath(oInvProfile, oInvProfPath3D, kNewBodyOperation).

I know That is possible to create a path by using the CreatePath method when the input is SketchLines or any guide curve in the 2D Plan. Also, I tried to generate path by using the ProfilePath3D method of the sketch3D class but No way, the AddUsingPath  method of the SweepFeatures Class  doesn't accept it as path Input.

So I cannot imagine that is limitation of inventor because it was possible to do it by using the seep function of the model tab in the ipart document. How to create the path object as an input of the AddUsingPath  method of the SweepFeatures class.

AutoCad :: How To Disable The Dynamic Input

Sep 6, 2013

I'm writing because I need to disable the dynamic input in AutoCAD.

It's irritating to me, because I'm more used to a much older version of AutoCAD.

Upon searching through the internet I found a thread here that says that I have to set DYNMODE to "0" to turn off the dynamic input. Alas, I have no clue as to at which subfolder of the registry this variable should be.
