I want to insert simple JPEG images into IDW drawings but the button for images is grey and cant be used.
I tried in sketch mode but it is the same grey button
Seriously is this not available?
Or whats the "trick" to insert a simple image?
When I insert a drawing from ACAD into an Inventor sketch I get the geometry I want but also allot of points or blocks are inserted also that are not in the original ACAD drawing at all. I cant pick these points to delete them even though they highlight when picked.......

View 9 Replies View RelatedAny way to render my 3d parts into a vector image format? I do not have access to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.
We are a software company that uses these models in our applications. Originally we just used .bmp rendered images. If there is no way to do this, any way I can turn .bmp into a vector image format like .ai or .eps?
I have two drawing files of arrows. One inserts uniformly and the other assumes that I want to specify the X and Y scaling separately. These drawing files do not contain blocks at the moment, but may have as some point in the past. I can't find anything in the drawing files that sets the block scaling when there isn't a block in the drawing, but one of them is behaving as if there is and the other one is not. How do I change all of my similar drawing files to insert scaled uniformly?
I see the option to scale uniformly on the insert dialog box, but I need this for a script, so I need to use the command line version.
Here is a copy of my command line for inserting the two drawing files:
Command:
-INSERT Enter block name or [?]: Sign-Arrow-12-A-Left
Units: Inches Conversion: 1.0000
Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/Rotate]: 0,0
Specify scale factor <1>:
Specify rotation angle <0>:
Command:
-INSERT Enter block name or [?] <Sign-Arrow-12-A-Left>: Sign-Arrow-16-A-Left
Units: Inches Conversion: 1.0000
Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/X/Y/Z/Rotate]: 0,6
Enter X scale factor, specify opposite corner, or [Corner/XYZ] <1>:
Enter Y scale factor <use X scale factor>:
Specify rotation angle <0>:
Command:
Note that the first time Sign-Arrow-12-A-Left comes in with no reference to option X/Y/Z, but the second time Sign-Arrow-16-A-Left has the option, and there for requires the extra line of input.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.
I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.
I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert, mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.
how would you remove an object from a picture and insert a new one keeping the backround.

Every pixel on the image is converted into a 3D point where the Z coordinate is elevated according to the pixel luminosity. URL....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a Ipart with like 14 different configurations now it operates smoothly within the part. Now once i insert it into a assembly it wont let me chance the configuration. I heard there was a problem like this but i thought it was only when you insert a part into a assembly and change it into a ipart while its still within a assembly.
Now my part never was in a assembly. Ill upload it and let me know if you have the same issue. Once i drop the part it doesn't give me the option to choose a configuration and when i click the configuration in the itable it still doesnt change it. Now this is only within a assembly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur customers insist that we provide our drawings in AutoCAD format and that the drawings have the views in paper space (layout) as well as the full scale view in model space. We are using an Inventor dwg to satisfy the requirement for AutoCAD format but I am not sure if we can get all of the views in model space and paper space without saving as an AutoCAD dwg and creating a viewport. I have used the "Insert in Model Space" command when you right click on a view, but this will only insert one view and then the command is no longer available. Is there a way to add all of the view to model space using this command?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having a very frustrating glitch when working with *.idw drawings. Whenever I create a new sheet in the drawing, the boarder on several of the other sheets resizes, and which sheets resize as well as the size they change to seems completely random.
For example, I have an 8-sheet drawing. If I go to the last sheet, which is B-sized, and then RMB->New Sheet in the browser, Inventor creates the new sheet just fine. As I go back up and look at all my sheets, the boarder for sheets 1, 2 and 8 (B-size sheets) has been changed to C-sized. Sheet 3, an A-size, has its boarder as a C-size as well. Sheets 4-5 (C-sized) and 6-7 (B-sized) are just fine. I deleted the new sheet, went to sheet 5 instead, and then created the new sheet. This caused different sheets to change to different random boarder sizes.
I am running inventor 2010 suite with service pack 2 and when I try to insert a JPEG or BMP into a Drawing Sheet (not a sketch on a part file), the image does not appear. I have done this on previous versions numerous times and it worked perfectly fine.
The message which appears on the screen says "TEMPEMBED.BMP" and it has a photoshop CS4 logo. When I do a print preview, nothing appears on the page. I have opened up a previous drawing sheet, which has a JPEG & BMP inserted and the image is shown, but when I try to insert another image on the same drawing sheet, the same thing happens.
I am running a pretty fast machine, with an intel i7 processor and a pretty hardcore graphic card.
I am having trouble inserting a JPEG image in Inventor 2011 LT drawing (DWG) file. The Image button on Insert panel under Manage tab is always disabled. I am able to bring in the image using Insert Object feature and selecting 'create from file' option. Although the resulting image looks OK on the screen, it looks inverted and distorted when printed.
I am facing the same problem when I try to insert image in a dwg sketch, however, the process works as expected on part sketches.
Im using frame generator, i create my skeleton part, start up frame generator, select my frame types and connect them to the lines, press OK, accept the default filenames then get this error:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred during inserting Frame Member(s)
[WARNING] Insertion of frame member(s) failed
[ERROR] A frame member could not be created. The template file for ANSI ANSI AISC (Rectangular) - Flat Bar Steel could not be located in the Content Center library. and no parts are put in the assembly.
I have updated the content centre etc and installed all the latest updates. I have also reinstalled Inventor and The local content centre but the error persists.
Ive included a couple of screen shots that show the error.
frame generator is useless until this is fixed and i need to design some frames.

If I nead to insert a Part a many times in an assembly... let's say fifty times.
The only way I know is to copy past fifty times (then I place them with the constraints neaded).
The rectangle or cicular array can't be used since they a realy in different places.
But is there a fastest way to insert the Part fifty times in the assembly, instead of copy paste?
Just when I thought I was getting somewhere I come to a complete standstill. I'm attempting to insert an iFeature, louver to be exact. I inserted the one from cbliss easily and was able to edit the width, length, thickness etc. but had trouble trying to change angles. I later tried inserting one someone emailed me, so I removed the other one and now I can't insert new one and I can't even go back to insert cbliss one. Not sure what changed or what I messed up. I'm new to IV and not overly experienced in AutoCAD period.
