AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Derived Part Using Only Some Features?

Jan 12, 2014

it's possible to create a derived part using only some of the features of the base components i.e. I've got a funny shaped part with a bunch of holes in it, and I need another part with exactly the same shape but totally different holes (location and size)I know you can do this with the different solids in the part (only use some of the solids) but I haven't been able to figure it out with features, if it's possible at all.

I could probably create one base part (just the shape) and derive both parts from that, but then I've got a part lying around doing jack.using IV 11.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Accessing Features From A Part In An Assembly

Aug 22, 2012

I'm crating a macro wich would allow me to select multiple parts in an assembly and then calculate the length of each part. The parts are tubes wich are made of a sinlge sweep.

I started from the example truesweeplength, and built from there.

Now my problem is accessing the sweepfeature from the assembly.

In the part enviroment i use this:

Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Dim oDef As PartComponentDefinition
Dim osweepcount As Long  
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Set oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
osweepcount = oDef.Features.SweepFeatures.Count

The sweepcount is simply to check how many sweep features are in the part.

This works fine in part level.Now from assembly level I first create an obecjtcollection from all the parts I selected

Set oOccurrences = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection

Then I try to acces the first occurence

oDoc.SelectSet.Item(1)

But then I'm stuck. I cant find the way to acess the features of the selected part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Suppress All Part Features Using ILogic?

Jul 20, 2012

I have a couple of dozen features in my part, of which only one will be active at any time. The feature tree may be subject to additions, so I am looking for an ilogic rule that will first suppress all of the features in the part, and then switch on the specific feature I require (using a parameter). Any code to suppress ALL features?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Passing Down Assembly Features To Part Level

Dec 11, 2012

How do you save features added in an assembly to the part? For example, if I add a hole in an assembly, presently I cannot see it when I open the part. It seems like a very basic function, I'm not sure why it doesn't do it automatically.

AutoCAD Inventor :: General Opinion On Calculations Of Part Features

Aug 15, 2012

Using inventor to calculate specific distances or counts of features on a part.  Say for instance, the lineal feet of a radial edge, or the number of cutouts a part may have.  If so, how are you approching this?  Can be programs written with the API/iLogic or just general setup I am pretty versitle and open to any discussion.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Delete Work Features From Derived Part?

Nov 10, 2011

How do I delete work plane 1 from the attached part, 'test derived'?

workflow.

create a part, pattern a plane, save as 'test deriver'

create new part, derive work plane 1 from 'test deriver' sketch onto work plane 1, save as test derived

go back to 'test deriver, delete the pattern and create a new pattern, work plane 2, (i couldnt just edit it because the real life case was a series of patterns at different distances)

open part 'test derived', edit the derived part to include work plane 2, (work plane 1 doesnt exist in 'test deriver' anymore) redefine the sketch onto work plane 2

try to get rid of work plane 1 from the part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Work Features Cannot Be Made On Bent Sheet Metal Part

Jan 21, 2013

I have attached a simple model to detail what I am having trouble with.  

I have constructed a sheet metal tube by first creating a flat sheet face and then by folding the sheet with two, 180 degree bends and large radius.  I am doing it this way in order to simplify the drawing of the cutouts that are required in the "real" sheet (with many more cutouts than in the sample I have provided.)

When I try to add work points or work axis to the holes shown in the sample, only the holes on the second bend will accept the work features, the holes on the first bend will not - giving the error:

TEST.ipt: Errors occurred during update Projected loop failed because of multiple vertex solutions Work Point8: Could not build this Point Copy Point Zero or multiple solutions for Point Copy Point. Use Redefine Feature to change its definition.

I am using the work point as reference to the center of the hole in order to position a rod.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Part To Frame Generator With ILogic Rules For Features

Jul 17, 2013

I have a wire trough that we typically use on all our units. Instead of modelling each trough as it's own separate part to length, I would like to add this part to frame generator for tracking there cut lengths etc...

A few items, there is two sizes that we use, but for now I will work with just one.

I have modeled the part and renamed the important parameters.

-WIDTH - stays the same

-HEIGHT - stays the same

-LENGTH - adjusted by frame generator

-RIBS - the part has 6 currently, but there is a rib added for every 1/2 inch. it is a rectangular pattern

-SLOTS - will be added to the trough every 2 inches of length, it is a rectangular pattern

-SLOT_DISTANCE - is 2 inches and never changes, if the trough is cut on a slot, which ever is easiest, to show half a slot or none, doesn't matter, this is just for a visual and BOM reference

I found a video that shows me how to publish parts to FG, but I am stuck for the iLogic part. Part attached.

AutoCAD 2013 :: File Size Seems To Be Quite Large In Proportion

Mar 21, 2013

I have a file that doesn't have a lot of stuff in it, but the file size seems to be quite large in proportion. Is there a way that I can use DBList, and export the data to a spreadsheet? It would be a lot easier to search through than the F2 way.

AutoCAD LT :: Printing DWG To PDF - File Size Too Large In 2013?

Apr 5, 2012

I have successfully printed a dwg to a pdf but instead of its file size being 450k it is 1.4 m. This makes sending pdfs via email too cumbersome. It seems that even though the outcome is B&W somewhere along the line "it" thinks it is Color. I noticed that in Page Setup I no longer have the option of "DWG to PDF.pc3".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Link One Part File Dimension To Another Part File?

Jul 6, 2012

Is it possible to link one part file dimension to another part file?

1. Part first is a cylinder in parametric table i changed it,s name OD , ID  and thk. ( find attachment )

   Cylinder ID is ( ID=105)

2. Then i made 2 nd part whose step od ( od=102) is going to insert in to cylinder id.There is 3 mm clerance every time 

3. So i have to make equction in 2 nd part that ( Step OD= ( ID-3).

means next time when i will change ID of cylinder OD of 2 nd part will ger changed automatically minus by 3 mm than id of cylinder.

Paint.NET :: Large Print File Size

Jun 7, 2013

I need to prepare a very simple poster (one color for back ground and one for the font, no further editing at all) but it has to be around 50x50inch size which is big. I have never worked with such a large images before hence my question.
 
When I click 'new' and then set print size to 50x50 and 150ppi resolution the file size is around 250mb. Does it really have to be this big? It seems like my laptop cant handle files this big.
 
Is there some way around it? Vectors? Inscape?
 
My laptop is Hp Pavilion g6 Core i3

AutoCAD Inventor :: Insert STEP (STP) Part Into Existing Part File?

Sep 11, 2013

The simple question is… how can we insert a step (stp) part into an existing part file? 

The story behind the question is this:

Normally when we get a step file assembly from a customer, if the part has changed, we put our part into Old Versions and save their new step file as our ipt number and replace it in our assembly file.  With Vault, in order for us to maintain the history of the part files, we need to keep the original file so we can’t just delete it or replace it, so now we need to figure out how to get a step file into an ipt.  The Import command on the Manage tab (with 2013 at least?) does not allow import of stp files just yet.

The only other option I can think of is to put the original part into an assembly with the step file, create a copy of the step information in the part file and use it to recreate the new (step based) part.

Illustrator :: CS6 - File Size TOO LARGE With Linked Files

Mar 19, 2013

Recently, I am working with illustrator CS6.

After inserting quite a lot of linked images (without embedding), the file size becomes much larger, up too nearly 400MB.

I saved without pfd compatible function already, but the file size is sill very large. I did not face the same problem working with CS5 before, is that a bug for CS6?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing File (Annotation Features Not Supporting 2000)

Aug 22, 2012

I am using inventor 2013 and creating the drawing for a part or assy. and saving it to autocad 2000. after i open the saven .dwg fine in autocad 2000 of customised .dwg viewer (EDMS internal customised vault kind of software), i see some of the features of annotations and even mechanical features added has question mark (as the images attached).

Thing is what i am doing is and we have a BOB.shx file for the font. (which inventor is not supporting) and we could not bring this inside inventor. Inventor supports only .ttf font types.

So how way possible we can use inventor drawing inside autocad 2000 by save a copy as option. or you have any patch type support.We are loosing lot of time in this as a productivity loss.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy Part Of IPT Into Another Part File

I started out with a single 3 dimensional piece i had made using sketches, and split it into two using the split feature under the modify tab. Now I would like to take each of those two pieces and copy them into their own individual part files. I could do this by remaking them, but was wondering if I could simply copy and paste them into separate files.

GIMP :: Use Size Constraints For Sizing A File To Fit Large Format Printer

Mar 23, 2013

I have used Gimp a bit, and before that PS quite a bit. I have never had to use the size constraints for sizing a file to fit a large format printer. I will be getting one any day so I would like to be prepared as much as possible. When I was at another shop, the owner used one of the cropping functions to set the finish print size and then she could move the box around to locate the best print area and remainder to be cropped. She was using PS. I would assume I could do it also in Gimp, but have not found a way to do it yet. What am I missing. Even if the printer software will do it on the printer, I would like to be able to show my customer on a PC monitor what they might expect.
