AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Drawing Of Piping With BOM
Oct 4, 2012
I was giving an assembly with a lot of piping in it, but the piping wasn't done using the Tube & Pipe. I need to make a drawing of the piping with a BOM. I made an ISO view and turn off the visibility of the parts I didn't need.
My question is if there is way for the BOM to only show the visible parts in my drawings. I know in iAssemblies I can exclude the parts I don't need, but that would take awhile considering there are over a hundred parts in my assembly. I really don't want to redo the piping mainly because of my inexperience with Tube & Pipe.

I'm trying to make a piping run that at one point branches off in another direction. Basically I want to have one straight pipe, a main line, where another pipe branches off and sticks out vertically from it and goes its own way. However, I want this branching pipe to be welded to the main line, not connected with a tee fitting. Inventor won't let me create branches from within a route, and it doesn't seem to want to let me snap to the existing main line run if I create a new run for the branching pipe.

I have 2 piping runs, each one containing several routes. I need to merge them, to obtain a unique run containing all the routes.

I need a way to add isometric dimensions from the elbow below?
This is how standard piping isometric drawings are done, no need for a front view, top view, etc.
Just all dimensions on one isometric view.
I am creating piping drawings for a Power Station and want to dimension from the intersection of the centrelines of all the elbows on the pipe run (just like dimension 300 and 1282 in the picture below).
I've been able to add dim 300 & 1282 by using "Include Route Centerlines" BUT if there's piping created without a piping route this cannot be done.
I don't understand why I cannot get dimension A & B from the standard work features displayed on the elbow or dimension between two elbows just using these work features?

My piping route will not update when I change a dimension when editing the route itself. See below. I can change a dimension, the 3D sketch of the route will update, but the pipe will not move into the correct position. Doing multiple rebuilds and updates does not update the piping.

I'm trying to utilize the piping and routed systems tool to run some pipe, but when I setup my pipe styles, it cannot find the xml files for the pipe, fittings, etc. I know I am connected to my content server as I can insert individual fittings and manually place pipe lengths. I am running Inventor Professional 2009

Is there a way so that when I make a view in a drawing,
it shows up by default with all it's real lines, instead of having to select the options all the time...

I am now making drawings of complexed structures and would like to draw attention to some elements that are important for particular drawing.
What I would like best would be to be able to schade selected parts. But did not find a way to do that.

I know you can obviously set the tolerance in the styles to round to the nearest 1/16 or 1/32, but is there a way to make it always round a dimension up instead of to the nearest? IV2012

Is there a line of code that will look at a drawing view and turn shading on?
I have tried
ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").View.Shaded = True
but it didn't work .

in a drawing I made some lines invisible (right-click on the line, and uncheck visibility). how can I make these lines visible again? for obvious reasons I can not right-click on them (they are not visible), and I don't find them in the browser tree.

I have a sketch on a component. That component is being used in an assembly. The assembly drawing (.idw) does not show the sketch on that component. I have made them visible on the component, but don't want it visible on the assembly model. (only the assembly drawing)

I'm trying to make a few assemblies inseparable for a parts list in a Drawing, but I can't seem to make it work.
I know I have to do this in the Bill of Materials menu, but for some reason the part I want to make inseparable is greyed out whiles the one that is just one part isn't.
My only option right now is to make it a weldment which works but not ideal, because now the material isn't correct.
I'm trying this on the 099.03.00.097 assembly in the picture.

I have a question about calculating the maximum tube length. Why do i ask this, because you can just measure it on drawing?
I'm building a parametric model for building simple storage tanks, and the goal is to get a complete BOM out of the model without any difficulties.
I have 4 possibilities of tube positioning on the tank. (see image)
1. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank.
2. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
3. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank.
4. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
These 4 possibilities can be flush with the inside of the tank or not.
Is there a easy way to determinate the longest point from the front of the tube? This longest measurement will be the length i need to get into my description for the BOM.

Any good add on PIPING program for AutCad. We've been using CADPIPE, but every time that they do an update, their program changes default settings. It's getting to the point that it's time to look for a program that will work with autocad and not make me have to reset all of my settings every time I start Cadpipe.

I want to be able to orbit and pan beneath a surface to see the relationship of pipes and structures to the surface. Its as though you were looking up at the ceiling in a room. Using orbit is limited because it flips the surface over (upside down), when trying to view the underside of a surface.

Having issues plotting. I have a sheet with 3d piping in plan view, viewport is set to Legacy Hidden as always. I have a 3DCLIP plane set to only see pipe at a certain elevation. When plotted, some of the pipe lines are missing. If I change the viewport display view, then the piping is fine but random objects show up that shouldn't b/c of my 3DCLIP plane.

When I start an Iso drawing should I use the 3D Views under the View tab and set it to SW Isometric or should I use the Snap/Style/Isometric way? I like using the 3D views, but it doesnt set the drawing up the same. What is the accepted procedure.

I need to add 1/8" gaskets to flanged piping. My primary reason for doing this is so I can get the correct length for the pipe. I was planning on simply pulling the flanges back and 1/8" but when I do that it stretches the pipe. Is there a way to detach pipe from fitting or fittings from fittings so I can move them independently.
Or could I just add 1/8" gaskets in there somehow. I'm of course working in 3d. autocad 2007. I can always create fab-drawings by just doing the math with the current drawings but I want to try to get it in the model, just in case.

Recently we upgraded to Autocad 2013. We are using Quickpen Pipe Designer over autocad for piping design.We are experiencing, with some drawings, long opening/saving/closing/xrefing delays.
For example, for a 12Mb drawing it took 5minutes for a Save AS, with no exrefs in the drawing, Close with save took 5minutes, to attach and xref took 5 minutes (2minutes to show the attach dialog and 3minutes after).
Quickpen is saying that is because autocad, but we haven’t seen such delay opening regular autocad drawings (drawings without quickpen entities).
We have some other issues with Quickpen, fittings disappearing from the drawing, trying to bring them back, and using regen and zoom extends will change the view to a odd 3d view or mirror the drawing to an odd angle.
Are there any 3d settings to make the drawing be faster?

I have been using background masking in Mtext to cover up the mechanical piping in our drawings. It works fine in AutoCAD, but we convert the drawing to pdf and then send the pdf to the printer to make prints. Now
the background masking is not working. You get a line going through the text.
