AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Part From Surfaces
Jun 25, 2013I'm trying to make a solid part from the attached file. I tried sculpting the part but only the sides of the bracket become solids.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a part that has protrusions. When i mate that part up to another part that second part needs to have cutouts/holes to receive those protrusions.
i mainly use it in sheetmetal parts. and use the rectangular protrusions on de contour to mate up with corresponding cutouts in the other sheet. this works with positioning and also makes for a nice weld spot/area.
But also for making holes to accommodate a mold pin used in custom punch dies. I want the intervening part to receive a corresponding (propperly tolleranced) hole automatically. Much like a bolted connection does.
same for parts like circlips. i want them to automatically generate the seat in the part it's mated to. Rather than using the axle generator.
Ofcourse one can place the parts and do an in assembly interpart projection and go from there, but i want the part to generate the (predifined) modification to the other part. It would save time and also reduces problems as the parts are moved about or even removed.
I'm modeling a temperature gauge and would like to have glass over the gauge so the inside is visible. I can easily do this with an assembly, but I'm wanting to do this with a single part. I tried to derive a new part from the assembly, but the transparent part turns solid so nothing inside is visible. Is it possible to do this?
I've include pictures of what I want and what I end up with.

I have created the part based on piece of standard angle taken from library. Now I want to make a mirrored copy of this part by Component-Mirror.
Inventor does not let me do it with standard part.
The question is: How I can transform a standard part to normal one, I mean I could get rid of belonging to standard part? Making a copy does not work. The only way is to derive and mirror this part but I wish there could be easy way.
I am using IV 2010. I am trying to make a 5/8" sheet metal piece with the surfaces shown. I have tried to thicken the surfaces but do not get the results I am looking for. After the surfaces are thickened I need them to be able to lay flat with flat pattern command.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just started learning AutoCAD and came across my first obstacle I don't know how to work around. Here's what I'm trying to do.
I draw two lines and two circles and then trim the excessive parts as in the picture (in general it can be an area composed of various types of lines, straight lines, arc, and likely with rounded corners).
Then extrude to the height 2. This makes 4 surfaces (green). Now I build a solid 'around' the surfaces. In this example I draw a rectangle and extrude to the height 1 (red). And my question is: how do I remove the part of the solid that's enclosed within the green surfaces? Subtraction doesn't work as I don't subtract solid. Slicing doesn't work either as it's more than one surfaces. For the same reason I can't turn it into a solid.

I'm using Inventor 2013 and VB 2010 Express... I can find a part or sub from browser and open it seperately by below
Dim invDocs As AssemblyDocument
invDocs = Form1.inv_App.ActiveDocument
Dim invDocument As Document
Dim Sayac As Integer
Dim oRefDocs As DocumentsEnumerator
oRefDocs = invDocs.AllReferencedDocuments
Dim invDocument2 As Documents
invDocument2 = Form1.inv_App.Documents
For Each invDocument In oRefDocs
If Form1.BaseFilename(invDocument.FullDocumentName).ToUpper = TextAranan.Text Then invDocument2.Open(invDocument.FullDocumentName, True)
Sayac += 1
Next
But I need to make the part selected on the browser? I want to focus (highlight) on the part and reposition the browser tree?
I have an assembly with several analogical parts and they have sketches with project geometry inside this assembly ("Adaptive" function works good, look pic "Works").
Unfotrunately, one part of parts doesnt work perfectly ("Adaptive" function is not active, look pic "Doesnt work"),
See what happens if i make a part after a split has taken place. This thing is driving me crazy. Misplaced part? How it's possible?
View 8 Replies View Related1) How Can I turn on 'Adaptive' option on the menu shown in attached picture for layout part? (in assembly invironment)
2) Which process or fault leads to that problem?
I'm trying to make a surface cut on my part. The part is a round cylindrical shaped cap with a surface geometry going through the center. I want to make that surface geometry remove some of the cylindrical part by about half the wall thickness.
See the attachment of the picture "cap" for a picture with the surfaces I'm speaking about. The orange features are surfaces and the grey feature is just a solid cylinder that I want to cut. The vertical, cylindrical surface in orange is where I want the grey cylinder to be cut along the curved orange surface. Only on the grey area outside of the orange cylindrical surface is to be cut while leaving everything grey on the inside area of the cylindrical surface will remain.
The picture titled "ideal cap" is the look that I'm going for on the picture titled "cap" which I'm trying to perform this cut on. The picture titled "ideal cap" was made using Pro/E and I'm trying to mimic the same thing in Inventor. How I can do this?
A workflow that works great for me is to create parts (Make Part command) from a multibody solid. The dialog window presents one with an option to choose other Templates (I have a few), BUT I have to choose the template I want to use EACH time I create a part. That is, Inventor doesn't automatically remember the last Template I chose, it defaults to the Standard.ipt or Standard.iam.
Is it possible to set it so that Inventor remembers what Template I chose the last time so that I don't have to choose it every time I Make Part?
How can I make a feature transparent in a single part? Like one extrusion in a part?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi've attached my model - basically I want to remove the fish shaped component from a solid block so it can be mirrored and CNC milled from an aluminium block to make a prototype fishing lure (Ignore the undercut on the tail).
I've looked at the online videos but the steps taken don't work on my model. I made the lure as a whole and split it in 2 - is this the problem?
I created this part with solid modelling......can / how this be made with sheet metal tools.....i do not use sheet metal tools but plan to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I create part .ipt directly in assembly .iam, I can make it adaptive. I'm doing the projection of geometry. Detail goes adaptive. Geometry appears as a link.
But if I put in the assembly finished parts or remove part created in the assembly, and then insert it back, the adaptability of parts did not get to create. Then the projection geometry inserts usual nonadaptive geometry without reference.
Can I make a finished part adaptive, without creating a component at the place in this assembly?
I have a part file "PLY-AY-134-A MAKE COMPONENT.ipt" that I created multiple "Solid Bodies" in and I used the "Make Components" command to create the individual part files and and assembly "PLY-AY-134-A.iam". I decided to add a few "Solid Bodies" to my original part file "PLY-AY-134-A MAKE COMPONENT.ipt". Is there a way to add these to the original "Make Components" command to add it to the allready created .iam file, "PLY-AY-134-A.iam"?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have inventor make each part in an assembly have a different color? I like to work in assemblies like this because it is easier to tell the parts from each other. It's just time-consuming to go through and change everything if the assembly was designed with realistic colors. I am thinking there might be a macro for this, but I don't have much experience with macros so idk.
(extra brownie points if the method has the capability of reverting back to realistic colors)

How Can I Make Flat Pattern From A Part Of Cylinder ? (2013 Version)
Like Attached Image.
I need to know how to make a solid from various surfaces. For example, making an exploded box back into a solid. I can't simply loft the surfaces because the problem I'm working on is far more complex-- it is a submarine defined by surfaces, but I need it all to be one solid.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a part number that i want to defined in custom properties.
Then would it be possible to call it out in Ilogic? that way in any drawing doesn't matter where the part number will always be the same for that part when i balloon and the same in the BOM.
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?

How to make the threads match on a male and female part. Using a tap size chart, I made a hole 31.5 mm in diameter. Then I added interior threads with a tap size M33 x1.5. How do I determine the diameter of the male part before adding threads? Would it also be 31.5 mm? I plan on 3d printing these parts, so I've also been using the thread modeler tool.

I have a part that was derived from an assembly. However now I need to make this part have different center dimensions. Is there a way to make a derived part into an iPart without creating more parts? see attachment.
I am using Inventor 2012. BTW the part is more detailed than I am showing in the attachment.
I'm trying to combine two surfaces to make one. I saw lots of people saying create new surface and paste the two in the new surface. Is there a way to create a copy besides doing the copy base, because that keeps causing my AutoCAD to error.
