AutoCAD Inventor :: Limits In Movement
Jan 4, 2012I have a question about limiting movements. In real life, when you close a door it stops as soon as it hit its frame. I want to do the same in Inventor.

Mar 1, 2013Is there any way to force IV to allow more than the 5 decimal place resolution that is listed in the Units drop down box?
And is there any way to force the result in the distance command to show all the decimals even if they are zeroes? When I specify 6 decimal places in the distance / measure command, I want to see 6 decimal places. If I don't, then I don't know if the rest of the digits are zeros or if it just didn't accept my choice to show 6 decimal places.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Limits And Fits Table Is WRONG
Jun 23, 2011I just got back a submittal package from a customer. Many markups because of incorrect dimension callout for a certain fit. When I dimensioned the drawing, I used the limit/fit calculator that is with Inventor. Now I just compared this calculator with the ANSI B4.1-1976 standard that it is supposed to follow. What I found was that the values in Inventor are wrong.
I just checked a few sizes and they do not match the ANSI standard. Not sure it there are other fits that have errors in them, but I will bet there are. Does Autodesk realize that if this information is put out, we have to take it as gospel. I don't have the time to check every-little-stinking dimension. If the dims in the table is wrong, I might as well type them in myself and forget about using the table.
Here is a screen shot of some of the errrors that I found. I also checked this size range for RC3, RC4 and RC5. They all have errors in them too. I am sure there are more, just dont have the time to check. We are not talking about "Freeware" here...
AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraint Limits Don't Work In Upper Assembly
Nov 1, 2011I have a linear slide assembly, for which I've set up limit constraints in the open and closed position.
It all works well, with one being able to drag the slide open and closed and the parts stopping in the correct positions.
I then inserted 4 of these assemblies as sub assemblies in a parent assembly.
I then constrain another part to the 4 slides.
I want to just drag on this part, to make the slides move to open positions.
This is to check kinematics etc.
One cant do this. You can only drag one slide open, by activating that slide in the model browser.
Any way to make limits work properly in upper assemblies?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Tangential Movement
Dec 14, 2012I'm working on a little trackless train at the moment. I have a working model of the train going around a curve, but I cheated a bit, by constraining the center points of the axles to the curve, and then had the wheels angles based off the drawbar angles.
I have began working on a more accurate version, where the angled wheels are what drives the carts around the curve. Long story short, if you have a thin playing card in Inventor, how can you restrict motion in the normal direction, allowing the card only to translate tangentially no matter how it is orientated in the model space?
Constraints are all based on relationships between two parts. Is there such a thing as restricting a part's movement in certain directions? The reason I ask, is I would like the wheels to follow the direction they are oriented (not being dragged in a normal direction, something resembling slip motion).
Essentially, I would like to do this without using contact friction between the ground and the wheel (which is what actually makes the wheel follow the direction of its orientation in real life).
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Rule Which Limits Pipe Length In ILogic
Apr 24, 2012How would I go about creating a rule in iLogic which would limit the minimum length of a pipe (parameter = Pipe_Length) to be half the outer diameter of the pipe (Pipe_OD), in other words "Pipe_Length ≥ Pipe_OD/2"
I know you can use the limits wizard in iLogic, but is that not only for numerical values as opposed to parameters?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Constrain Movement In Slot
Jan 9, 2013I have one problem and I would like to get your opinion how I could solve this.
I can't share models I have problem with, but I made another with the same problem.
I have two parts - one with slot, another with "pin". How to constrain the "pin" to always move in slot?
I had some ideas but non of them worked for me:
1. Use the Transitional constrain came first in mind, but it gives unsuspected results in this situation. Pin part is jumping around and ends up contrained in another place ir should be.
2. Contact solver kind of do the job, but it works quite bad. I gives no control or accuracy (i can not control how much pin is moved out)
3. I even thought of point on 3d sketch constrain, but it can not be done
How you would suggest to constrain the movement? I hope I stated problem clear enough.
I attached model files. I use Inventor 2013
AutoCAD Inventor :: Underground Scoop - Animate Movement
Jul 2, 2013I am have a model of a scoop that I would like to animate to show motion and check for interference and clearance.I was told by a friend the best way to create and assembly is to create it as it would be built.
Doing this, I created the cylinders and added to them to the main assembly as an assembly, but I am having trouble controlling movement. I checked off flexible for each cylinder but using the mouse to try and position the scoop bucket and front frame is undesirable. I know I could apply mate constraints to check for clearances and movements, But seeing the scoop move in a regulated motion would be need. Could possibly be used for marketing purposes as well.
Is using dynamic simulation or studio better? I have heard good things about the Wasim Younis Series - book
Does his books get into how a model should be assembled/created before trying simulations?The boom moves off yellow cylinder and the bucket moves off the red cylinderA 4 way joystick controls this movement (hydraulically), is it possible to simulate a joystick to control this animation?
The blue cylinder is controlled by a 2 way valve, that steers the front frame.I know uploading a model is the best way to get fast accurate solutions, however this model is currently over 200 parts, so I figured a .DWF export was the easiest way to give you a visual representation.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part Movement Constraints In Assembly
Jan 20, 2012In an assembly we can set driven constraints to drive parts etc.. or we can set the contact solver to show contacts.
Is it possible to set something like a driven constraint but so it is flexible between the set parameters?
when creating designs i like to move stuff around with the mouse to see how it works and the potential problems that might arise etc.. however i would like to still move stuff around with the mouse but restrict the movements with constraints.
so if you have a hingy flappy thing, the constraints would be set so it can rotate round the hinge as required but also an angular constraint could be set do it would work between set angles, say 0 to 50 degrees and if it gets to the limit it stops?
Is this possible, I think it would be very useful?

Feb 13, 2013Why is it that when you create the first constraint between any two components, the secondary component moves not only to satisfy the constraint, but also in ways that have nothing to do with the constraint. This is not occasional behavior, it happens every time.
I always have to stop and move the secondary component back out of the way to get to the other features I need to reference to continue.

Dec 16, 2011I have a stress analysis result that doesn't make sense to me. I have a flat plate, that is loaded with 100psi equally throughout the surface. I have an array of bolt holes that are 120mm x 109mm spacing. When I do the simulation and look at deflection, I see more movement on the ends. I expected the movement to be consistent eveywhere?
Is this an Inventor issue, or are my expectations in error?
On a side bar, is there a better way to constrain holes than on their edges? I would think that would give errors on the stress levels due to the point (line) contact.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Stress Analysis Constraints With Both Translational And Rotational Movement
Jun 13, 2013I'm attempting to model a spreader bar that we have in the workshop to estimate what load it should be certified for. It will be suspended froma 2 chain sling attached to the outside top lugs and the load suspended from the bottom outside lugs.
My problem is that simply constraining the inside faces of the top lugs with pin constraints results in erroneous values as the lugs can't move relative to each other. The other method I've tried is constraining the same faces using a fixed constraint and de-selecting the z-axis. Now they can move but I end up with large stresses inside the lugs as they attempt to resist the moment that's now been created.
Is there any way to select individual degrees of freedom (both rotational and translational) or at least set up the simulation in such a way that the constraints accurately represent reality?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Pattern For Plasma Cutter / Spline Point Movement?
May 7, 2012While tracing a tree image using splines for a school project i have run into some problems...I am creating a pattern for a plasma cutter.
When i move the points of my spline sometimes it causes the whole spline to randomly move around and twist and turn where there are no points. Also sometimes when i open the drawing some of the spline lines are out of place while the spline points have not moved.I have tried to constrain all the points but it turned into a mess.How can i stop this from happening?
AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Set The Drawing Limits
Jul 4, 2012In VB i had:
Dim newLimits(0 To 3) As Double
newLimits(0) = x1 - (x2 - x1)
newLimits(1) = y1 - (y2 - y1)
newLimits(2) = x2 + (x2 - x1)
newLimits(3) = y2 + (y2 - y1)
AcadDoc.Limits = newLimits
Now i thougt this works in this way:
/// <summary> /// Testfunktion für Limits /// </summary> private static void Test() { var acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; var acDb = acDoc.Database; acDb.Limmin = new Point2d(10, 50); acDb.Limmax = new Point2d(10, 50); }
But this is not working
I get the following Error: eLockViolation
I think this is from the Transaction and OpenMode.ForWrite - but where do i get such a transaction and the database open for writing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Legacy Size Limits
Dec 4, 2013My co-worker had a dialog box show up that said something about Size Limits for Legacy Drawings. It had two options. The top one said something about when zoomed out you won't see details but once zoomed in you will see them. The bottom option was someting about showing full detail at all zoom levels.
She chose the top one, but now she wants to choose the other. I can't seem to find a variable or even a mention of this dialog box anywhere. How I can switch from one to the other? Or how I can get the dialog box to pop up again?
I don't have the exactly language, so that is way I have been so vague.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Point Of Drawing Limits In Model Space?
Oct 17, 2006is there any point when you set up a new drawing in setting the drawing limits.
For example I am about to draw up a house plan at scale 1:100 which will be plotted on an A3 sheet. I envisage the floor plans will be on one A3 and the Elevations will be on another A3 sheet. Sections will go on another A3. I will have approx 6 paper sheets set up for this.
I plan to draw the whole lot in model space. Then move it around in paper space so each item is on a seperate sheet.
Is this the correct way to do it. If it is, then what is the point of having drawing limits in Model space? The books I have, say it is good drafting practice to set up limits. But I can't see why Also what is the point of setting up the grid display when half the time you draw right off the grid?
AutoCad :: Does (Limits) Mean Dimension That Displays In Work Screen

But then I moved my mouse horizontally and vertically on the screen, and found that the coordinate value at the bottom was from -25 on the left to 18 on the right, and from 0 at the bottom to 15 at the top. I am confused about what on earth does that limit? should it be 20 in length and 20 in width?
