I have created the model in the picture in AutoCad, but I do not know how to create it in Inventor. In Inventor I Know how to extrude and draw 2d/3d sketches, but this simple model it is impossible to me.
It is a simple 3D part, no sheet metal or pipe. It is an structure. I have copied it sliced to make more clear the geometry that I am looking for create.
I'm having two assembly issues. I've attached the parts that I made and a little sketch to make it clear what's going on.
First, you'll see two curved pieces attached to a cylinder. I can't make the wholes on the side line up and mate. I'll get mates but they're in the wrong places. The two holes on the side of curved bar should meet up with the two holes on the straight cylinder.
For the second one, I can't get the smaller armpit piece to fit inside the larger, black piece. I've gotten so it seems snug but then one little part of the "plastic" piece sticks out the top of the black piece. Hopefully the drawings make it clearer, but I attached the parts as well.
I have 2 different diameter cylinders and I would like to create a plane that is tangent to both.

The profile i obtained from the company is completely solid, I would like to make it hollow with a wall thickess of 5 mm. I tried if with the Shell feature of Inventor, and Since the profile of the blade is in different planes twisted in different angles, the Shell is not working very well. I have tried it with loft with different cross sections, but i am not getting a completely accurate profile. Is there any tool which automatically recognises the outside profile and will make the Inside hollow also in Inventor?

I have a solid bar which has a diameter equal to the nternal dimensions of a SHS. I am trying to create a weld, basically to fill the gap with a weld. I tried a similar arrangement with a Circular Hollow Section and it worked perfectly. I have tried fillet and groove for the SHS but it will not accept it.

I need it to be hollow but I am unable to do this using the shell operation or by creating a surface and thickening the faces. I created the geometry by lofting a series of sketches. I think the nature of the geometry may be causing the problem.

The case is-
1. hollow steel metal ball OD 200mm, ID 190mm
2. Outside surrounding uniform pressure 10 MPa.
3. The ball is floating in a kind of liquid, so the gravity is neglected.
How to run FEA on this ball? How to add fixed constraints.
Using API is there a way to add a WorkPoint where an Axis and a Part Face Intersect?
I need this to be able to create a WorkPlane normal to the surface of the part at that location.
So i draw a body (or assembly) and i would like to invert what i draw ( tubing for fluid flow) to be hollow and make the hollow part solid, is there any way that i could do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate a simple yet massively tedious task at the moment. Certain layers of my drawings contain 3D Polylines that have to be converted to cylinders. What I need to do is select all 3D Polylines in a specific layer and automatically convert them to cylinders, these cylinders will all share the same hardcoded diameter, however will retain the x,y,z, positioning of the 3D Polylines. The way that I'm approaching i'm attempting right now is to use a selection filter to select all 3D Polylines, save their co-ordinates into an array, create the cylinders using these co-ordinates and then deleting the existing polylines.

Is there a way to make one viewport supersede another so that say parts of the first viewport dont cross over into the second (not enough room). I have one intial viewport. Then four other viewports which are scaled in portions of the inital. I want the scaled in viewports to supercede images from the initial so that there are not parts of the intial intersecting into the "zoomed" in viewport pictures.

I am trying to get hollow letters in a solid box.
I used a font called swiss 721 blkouI bt which is hollow.
I made a solid red box.
The letters seem to go behind the box and not in it........ I know layering might be a factor, however I am now on my 2nd week of autocad......?
How would i go about hollowing out this curved pipe. Only way i know how to hollow anything is subtract.

I have two ~parallel feature lines about 250' apart. I grade the Easterly Ft Line going west at a +1.5%, and I grade the Westerly Ft Line going east at a -2.00:1 slope.
I know C3D doesnt have a tool to intersect them, I must use the intermediate surface approach.
What I did was grade one, create 'Paste Surface 1' then grade the other, create 'Paste Surface 2' and then I created Surface 3 and pasted 'Paste Surface 1' and 'Paste Surface 2' into Surface 3.
Throughout I used 'Grade to Distance'
Surface 3 doesn't come out correctly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running into an issue when two viewports intersect. Typically the drawing is just a standard single viewport but I have a certain couple instances (drawings for a special part of the report) where I have made smaller viewports that overlap with the larger. Where they overlap as most know you can see the objects from the underneath viewport in the overlapping. I had been described a technique of clipping it away but being that this is only used in few circumstances I was looking to operate this more of a "Toggle" like option. I have assigned the "Viewport Frames" on a seperate layer in which can be toggled "ON" and "OFF" using the MVIEW on the frames to apply or unapply the viewports. But when I toggle off the viewports the clipping has removed the portions of the underneath viewport (as it should). Any way to tell AutoCAD that when two viewports intersect the top one is not transparent of whats underneath??

View 4 Replies View RelatedImagine a basketball sitting on top of a pipe that is half the basketball's diameter: as a result, an inverted dome is comprised within the pipe. The intersection between the cylinder and the pipe is a circle.
How do I place a Cylinder on a Sphere?
I want to be able to move the cylinder and take a point from the sphere where I can attach it(the cylinder).
I will use the sphere as a joint for multiple cylinders so the intersection between a sphere and any cylinder must always be the circle that forms the base of the cylinder NOT another circle parallel to the base(if the cylinder enters the sphere, if you place a metal rod through a snow ball, the resulting object is a bullet, a cylinder with a dome: not what I want).
I'm using the Intersect With method with two pipes. The Intersect With method doesn't appear to work with curved pipes if the pipes do not cross. If they don't cross the method works, but if they don't then it doesn't find the intersect points properly. This appears to be an issue with Civil 3D 2010 to 2012 API.
[URL]........
In the screen cast image the pipe on the right finds the intersection point with the straight pipe on the left, but not the curved pipe that is in the middle. I've had poor results trying to put in support requests for API related issues.
For Civil 3D 2010 here's the code that isn't working:
oPoints = new Point3dCollection();
Pipe oLateral = (Pipe)lateralObjId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead);
Pipe oMain = (Pipe)mainObjId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead);
oLateral.IntersectWith(oMain, Intersect.ExtendThis, oPoints, 0, 0);

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 polyline. First I need to know whether those 2 polyline intersect with each other or not. If they are I need to change one of the polyline shape deduct the intersection area.
How can I do that?
I have a drawing which consists of lines and blocks. I need to write down the (x,y) coordinates of each point of my interest. I expect results to be copy-paste'able, text or plain text preferred.
How should I do that? I guess there is a build-in command for this, I fail to Google it though.
