AutoCAD Inventor :: Materials In Assembly Displayed As Generic
Jan 10, 2014
I have attached a screen shot. I created this base plate as A572-50 steel and it is displayed as galvanized. The only thing on this assembly that is from the content center are the bolted connections and a few pieces of A53 pipe that is not shown in the image. All of the other parts and sub- assembly's and their parts are created with their appropriate grade of steel and also displayed as Galvanized. When they are place into the same assembly their materials and display are exactly like they are on the part level itself.
When I place the base plate from my project the initial preview of the the part shows it to be as it is in the part itself, A572-50 and galvanized. The problem comes when you actually drop it in the assembly. The material of the part is reverted to the Steel, Galvanized and is displayed as Generic. This causes a problem in my BOM and then some.

I have tube and pipe subassembly in my assembly. When I see my BOM, each route is a subassembly but some not, and went I add balloon on pipe from "this not subassembly but in realy is one" it give me the same item number for each pipe generate in this route.
How can change this "fake" part to assembly for BOM?

I am working on modeling a residential house and I have been progressive positively on this project except that I now have to include earth and grass materials not available on the Material Browser of Autocad and also I want to draw 3D windows in Inventor that I would want to use effectively in the architectural drawing in Autocad. Is there a way to safely export the Inventor Assembly without losing the colors and rendering?

Sketch of a shackle (preferably Crosby) that I could use? The company I work for does a lot of certifications and deals heavily with Lifting devices. We tend to use Crosby Bolt Type Anchor Shackles (see image) in our designs and the sizes tend to change frequently. I figured if there was a template made, it would be easy to go from a 2ton shackle to say a 55 ton shackle by changing the parameters (rather than re-drawing). We have done a few in ACAD, but I would like to start from scratch in Inventor (IV 2012) in order to gain full control over the design, parameters, etc.

I'm looking for the best way to create a separate assembly out of various component parts in an existing assembly so that the whole thing can be placed in an assembly as you would a part, I know it's possible to demote components within an assembly but are there any other methods similar / better ?

We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.

I have encountered a problem with the Tube and Pipe styles.
As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor
When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.
Steps I've taken:
Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam
Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work

I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it. Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted. Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?
Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?

it is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.
For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?

My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.

I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

Inventor is displaying the "male symbol" instead of a carriage return. It only does this once in a while, maybe once in 50 dimension edits, and if I edit the dimension again, backspace out the return and replace it then it will display correctly.
I'm using a Quadro 600 with an AutoDesk certified driver. Memory isn't pegged, only using half of my installed 8GB. Bug?

I have installed Autodesk in a new computer but for some reason when I access to the program, "History tree" is not showed by default.
I have tried a lot selecting options in "tools" and "preferences" but I can't locate where the option for displaying "history tree" is located.

See the jpeg: 1.345 is a regular dimension, .875 is a hole note. The hole note is wrong.
(the part doesn’t have to be scrapped. It can be dis assembled, sent back for rework, refinished and reassembled.)

Can I select a bunch of parts in an assembly and say "save these pieces as a new assembly"?
It is just such a needed tool but I cant find an easy way to accomplish this.

I have a two part duct fire damper assembly. The IDW has the combined two part assembly, which I know how to turn the CoG on, so that it can be dimensioned. The problem is each piece will more than likely be hoisted separately so I would like to show the CoG for each piece, not the combined master assy.is there a way to do this?

I have Inventor 2012. When I open a file of a part or assembly that had been modeled the piece is displayed not centered nor fully visible. I have changed the document settings for modeled part to make the displayed area larger that the default 3.937" wide x 1.969" high which sort of works sometimes.
The model Origin seems to be centered while the modeled part is displayed off the screen. Is there a setting to have the model file open with the geometry extents displayed and centered? The thumbnail for the file looks correct. It seems like the template files would control this feature.

1. I have a centrifugal pump assembly in which the color is Blue.How can i save the same Pump which can be available with 5 different colors.other then the Blue.This would save me changing the color of the parts in the assembly everytime i want the Pump to display a different color
2. Part-0 attached. Can the chrome color be displayed without the reflections?

Recently we have switched from VBA to iLogic code. We have stripped out all of the VBA code, but when parts and assemblies are opening there is a big delay and the words "Loading VBA Project" is displayed at the bottom of Inventor.
Is iLogic or some facet of Inventor 2012 still using VBA Projects? If not, then can I disable this to shorten the amount of time it takes to open models? If possible how would I do this?

Yesterday I tried to make a table-driven I-feature of a few drilling paterns.
I want to use this for drawing steel manifolds. The I-feature is used to insert standard drilling paterns, for example a patern to fit a standard flange.
The only problem is, for the thread I used the thread feature, otherwise it doesn't show up in the I-feature.
But when I make a drawing of a part were this I-feature is used, the specification of the thread doesn't show up when I create a hole table, because in the I-feature, the thread is a separate feature.

We have the following problem (on AIS2010): we often recycle existing designs with small changes/adapting, means: the (sub)assembly is saved with a new name and part number, and the subcomponents that need to be changed, get a new part number and file name too. So we save a copy, save the parts need changes and then replace the "old" parts in the new assy.
Doing so unfortunately retains the "name" of the component in the model browser tree. Why is that in the first place.
But I'm trying to write a macro that resets the dspalyed names in the browser.
What I found so far, is that under BrowserNodeDefinition, there's a Label property which contains the displayed name, and this does not get changed when the part is replaced. So I thought, I can just compare these BrowserNodeDefinition.Labels with the actual file names and forge a new Label from the new name and the sequence number, however, the BrowserNodeDefinition object is read only, can't be changed.
I haven't found anything else that would contain this name that is displayed in the browser.

I would like to see if there is a routine that allows my iLogic code to detect if my assembly contains another assembly within it. If my assebly contains assemblies then I don't want "MyRule" to run. Else if it does then I want "MyRule" to run.

My Assembly has two possible positions for my piston.
I would like to show both piston positions (top and bottom) in one drawing file; however, in different drawing views.
I have tried using LOD and Drawing View Representations, but it is my understanding that neither of these are meant to be used in this way.

I am running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010. I use FEA a lot on steel and aluminum structures but was wondering if Inventor is capable of doing FEA on composite structures. I personally want to estimate the strength of some carbon fiber tubing but wasn't sure whether or not I would be getting good data from it. I know that composites don't yield and was wondering how or if that will affect anything. Also, if you can do an FEA on a composite, any solid website to get material properties from?
