AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Lightening Holes For A Beech 18 Wingtip Bulkhead

Jan 7, 2014

I have been trying to make "lightening holes" for a Beech 18 wingtip bulkhead.  It is basically a hole that is flanged on a 30 degree radius at 1/4 inch.

I have have had very little success trying to replicate this with the Sheet Metal Punch Tool (Round Emboss) but the iFeatures will not allow me to enter a value for the angle, diameter, and height.

Material : 6061 Aluminum
Thickness : .020

AutoCAD Inventor :: How Many Holes In A Part

Jun 21, 2010

I'm looking to find how many holes there are in a part ( and then what their diameters are). I tried using

Dim oPartDoc As Document
Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oCompDef As PartComponentDefinition
Set oCompDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition

MsgBox "there are " & oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Count & " holes"

but this falls down if a hole feature created more than one hole at the same time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Don't Holes Show Up

Dec 30, 2011

I have an existing extrustion with holes in it.  All in one sketch.

I go to add an off shoot from the existing main body in the sketcher.  In that off shoot I add a circle

in the middle of the off shoot to represent a hole.  So fa so good, or at least I thought.  I exit the sketch mode

and my extrustion looks fine with the exception of the hole is not there.  Why?  Why doesn't Inventor recognise the

circle sketch as hole geometry like it does in the originally created sketch?

In Solidworks, given this same scenario, would have recogized the circle as a void and thus created a hole.

I ended up deleteing the hole out of the main sketch and doing a seperate hole cut feature.  I am sure I am missing something and in the process of learning would like to know if indead I did not do this the correct way.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Holes In Curved Surface

Sep 30, 2013

Basically I’m trying to create a circular cut in a flat pattern for a hole made in a rolled piece of sheet metal.

I have created a "case" (this is what we call it) to mount an axial fan, it will require holes for mounting the motor plate. When I create these holes in the rolled case assembly they appear to be fine, but when I flatten it they are turned into two sets of semi-circles or ellipses.

This is only a problem when we run the parts on our Laser; the laser will attempt to start the cutting at the end of each of these "semi-circles" causing a hotspot where the two semi circles meet. This causes the hole to be slightly smaller than intended in this area causing great difficulty inserting bolts, they normally require drilling.

 Our material thicknesses vary from about 3mm to 8mm.

I’ve included a crude example of what I’m trying to achieve. To really see what I mean, place the file into a Drawing file and zoom into the hole. I couldn't add the file, with only 3 features the file was 5mb in size.

By the way, I have a temporary solution, it's just a little complicated. (My solution: use square holes first in the un-flat, use the diagonal lines from each corner of the square in a sketch on the flat pattern to place a circular cut on its mid points.)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Holes In Drawing

Jan 25, 2012

I have a couple of quick questions about dimensioning holes in drawings .

First, if I have a hole in a rod or shaft so the surface isn't a full circle I get the dimension as a radius. Can I change it to a diameter?

Second, in a model, how do I dimension or measure to the edge of a round rather than to it's center? In SW I could hold the shift key while selecting, is there a similar method here?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Switching Between Configurations Holes

Sep 19, 2013

I have a cabinet that we make, and we put some holes through the sheet metal skin of the cabinet at the assembly level. I use iLogic to turn these holes on and off, depending on configurations.

Sometimes when switching between configurations the holes that were suppressed will disappear from my model and leave me with just the original sketch. So my iLogic rule errors because it can't find the hole feature.

I am using planes based off of the origin planes to define an axis that I use as my hole center line. And I then make a sketch on the XY origin plane to create a point for my hole. So everything there is independent of the cabinet model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Remove A Hole From A Set Of Holes

Aug 6, 2010

i have edited an associative part within an assembly. Created a sketch on one of the surfaces, and projected the surface of another part, which had holes. Then created a set of holes, by selecting some of the hole centers from this projected sketch. Later I wanted to remove one of these holes, but it doesn't seem to be possible. I can not de-select a point.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirroring Holes In Drawing

Aug 21, 2012

I have a problem with a model and the drawing. In the model i have mirrored some holes. In the drawing the hole-table shows some of the mirrored holes on the position of the original ones. Also some entries are doubled.

I have also tried to redo a fresh drawing, the problem persists.

I also tried o another system without change. The model is too big to attach, so i attached only a pdf-dok.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Add Two Holes To Ground Plate Only And Not Other

Sep 9, 2012

I seem to have made what many might consider a rookie mistake. Built a fairly complex structure for an overhead crane system and get to the end to find that I missed two holes. The problem with these two holes is it is ONLY 1 plate (my grounded part), but I have used this same part in one other instance. So if I edit (even from within assembly) and add the two holes to the grounded plate it creates them in the other plate, which I dont want.

Since I have the second plate being used as a refence to locate MANY other parts on this unit, it would be quite difficult to replace it with a new part (same but different file name).

Any way to add said two holes to the grounded plate only and not the other?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Best Way To Insert One Tube Into Another Which Has Holes?

Jul 15, 2013

If I have a "large" tube with a series of holes along it, say 9mm diameter...

I have another component (an 8.9mm solid cylinder) which should be inserted in those holes......how is the best way of doing it?

I thought about adding a work axis in each hole, but can't find an easy way of doing even that!So how would you do it?

If I make a hole in a rectangular block it all works out, the toroid appears and I constrain the small 8.9mm to the axis of the hole in the block.That does not seem to work with holes in the large tube.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart And Creating Holes

Mar 1, 2012

I created an ipart and on some of the parts i need holes in them and the others i do not.  I use the hole feature and made my holes but it shows up on all of the parts. I go into the table and change all the holes for the parts i don't need to a dia of 0. now those parts wont work because of the error of having the hole dia set to zero.

Is there a way i can suppress the holes on the parts i don't what the holes to be in?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Choose Plan While Creating Holes

Sep 19, 2012

Previously, I use to create sketch's on the face of the part and do holes and extrusion operations.

I use to face lot of issues as parent geomentry is visible while editing the sketch. Started to use datum planes and avoid using the face of the part to create sketchs, This is method is much better as I dont have any issue with the parent geomentry.

But, I have new problem.  Please refer to the attached screen shot.  When I want to create the holes in nominated centres there is no option for me to select the face of the part..  The counter bore depth starts from the sketch plane.

It would be lot handy, if there is an option to select a plane or a face for these operations.  Then I can share the same sketch to create holes in different parts which are at different distances from sketch plane.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi-Body Mirror Holes

Is there a way to get the mirrored hole to go all the way through both parts of the mirrored solid bodies.

I do realize that I can create the hole in a seperate feature, after the mirror.  It will only let you select one 'solid' during the mirror command.  Here is a simple .ipt to demonstrate the issue.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Holes / Screws On A Rolled Plate?

Jul 17, 2013

I'm modeling a band that will be screwed onto the inside of a sheet metal cylinder. The band will be rolled to the ID of the cylinder. I'm trying to model the holes in the band, and place screws into the holes. I'm not sure yet how the holes will be machined out in the shop--whether they'll be drilled or punched, made before or after the band is rolled, placed based upon degree or arc length, etc.

1. Is there a better way to model the band and its holes?

2. How can I properly and easily insert the bolt into the holes since they're no longer "perfect holes" that can be used in an "Insert" constraint.

3. How can I then pattern the bolt so I don't have to insert one into each hole?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Doesn't Recognize Center Of The Holes

Apr 26, 2012

I'm trying to do the drawings of the parts i have made in Inventor but I'm having trouble inserting the centerlines in the holes. Basically, inventor doesn't recognise the centers of the holes in the correct place, so the centerlines can't be put in the center of them. By example, it makes the center of the holes in the lines created by the walls of the hole instead of of making the centers in the center of the hole.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Tolerance To Holes That Are Created By IFeatures

May 22, 2013

 I've got an iFeature created that's very handy.  It's basically a reamed hole with a counter bore for a purchased locating pin.  

Here's the rub:  Is there a way to specify a tolerance to that hole that will come through the i Feature?  As in, I can draw the hole with a diameter of 0.501" within the definition of the iFeature.  That's easy.  However, when I do a print, I'd like to be able to just snap a leader to it that will have the "Use Part Tolerance" box checked and will reflect the correct tolerance.

As an aside, one of the reasons I want to do this is because I use Hole Tables a lot.  In a hole table, I can manually go in and change the call out for the hole to show the correct tolerance, but in order to keep the grouping together, I have to do EVERY hole individually.
