AutoCAD Inventor :: Seam Displaying In Lofted Feature?
Apr 2, 2012I've created a simple loft using a sketched circle and a fixed workpoint. The loft feature is a loft to a point, with a tangent condition set at the workpoint.
I'm looking for a nice smooth 'button' like feature. However, as you'll see in the screenshot there is an annoying 'seam' or 'join line' running from a point on the circular base to the workpoint.
The 'seam' does not display when the loft feature is set to "loft to point" condition.
why this is displayed and am I able to get rid of it?
I'm using Inventor Professional 2012 64 bit
AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror And Flip A Feature
Jun 11, 2013I would like to both flip and mirror (or pattern) a feature onto the opposite side of a rectangular extrusion.
For example (assuming a rectangular solid extruded in the Z dimension), I have two counter bored holes on the top surface of the solid aligned with the X axis and I would like a copy of those holes on the bottom surface but aligned with the Y axis. If I pattern the holes rotating them 90 degrees and then attempt to mirror them, I can only select all four or the two originals. Is there any way to disassociate the rotated copies from the originals while still retaining control over their dimensions from a single sketch?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppress Base Mirror Feature
Jul 6, 2012Is it possible to create feature A mirror it to create feature B and suppress feature A without suppressing or crashing feature B? What I have are very complicated left hand and right hand features. I could create the B feature again but there are a lot of dimensions. I could mirror the sketch, but there are formulas controlled by iLogic in them, and mirroring a sketch seems to break those formulas and I only get the dimension.
If it is not possible it would be an excellent addition to 2014!

Oct 30, 2013I have an ipart I'd like to create w/ surfaces. The surface color is important because we use that as plate thickness ID in FEA. When I color a surface blue, then another red I continually get the default color when using the mirror or array command. We're creating a customizeable ipart where there will be some intelligence surrounding how big the array (we may need 3, 4, or 5 beams based on the unit size). I need a way that the colors on the surface propogate to the new surfaces created by the commands.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Use Lofted Flange On Offset Ellipse
Jun 27, 2012I am currently working with an elliptic profile that needs to be unfolded. The part consists of two sketches, with each sketch having two ellipses. The ellipses on each sketch then forms a cross-section where the thickness of it is supposed to be 8 mm (the first ellipse is offsett).
My plan is then to generate a mold for the inner and outer sides of this part by using the "Lofted flange" function and Rip, since I want the flat pattern of it. However, I've found that I can not select my offset ellipse when using Lofted flange, only the original one. I'm thinking that this might be caused due to the offset ellipse not actually being an ellipse but a spline (I read somewhere that there are two ways of offsetting an ellipse. One generates a mathematical ellipse and the other a spline). Creating an new ellipse and then saying that the a and b distance should be 8 mm less than the other ellipse will work, but that will not give me a constant wall thickness of 8 mm along the circumference of the elliptic cross-section.

Jun 8, 2013I am getting these white "ghost" boxes with every copy, move or mirror command. They can be individually deleted but that takes too long. The more there are the slower each command takes, to the point a copy can take over a minute. If I save and close then when I reopen they are gone -- until I execute a command. This is unique to a single file I recieved from a friend using a PC based Autocad; I use Autocad for Mac. I had no trouble with his file until I did a "Save As" and used it as a base for a new file. Now, every file that is a copy of it, even any file in which I x-ref it, has the same problem. All of my original, older files are fine. There is simply too much work in these (now) five files to start over. See attached.

AutoCad 3D :: 3DMIRROR Command To Mirror Magenta Box Along Zx Plane Defined By Middle Of Steel T-angle
Nov 13, 2013Why can't I get the "3DMIRROR" command to mirror the magenta box along a zx-plane defined by the middle of the steel T-angle?
First, I use the ZX option, and after that fails to work, I try the 3-point option using a picked first point and two ortho-points to define a zx-plane.
Also, there's some randomness in the sense that some of the time the exact same series of steps will produce the correct result, but not this time, as the video below shows.

Revit :: Mirror Command Flipping Families?
Jan 6, 2014still on this family quality control audit... i've come across some new and entertaining behavior.
several fmailies (face based) flip host sides with their flip controls as expected, but if i mirror them , instead of flipping along the mirror line as an accurate reflection, they ALSO flip top to bottom, AND around the face.
the right family in both views is the original, the left is the new mirror. (plan and elevation views in wire frame included) you can see it landed within the wall, and upsidedown.

Jan 8, 2013In the weldment of a crane boom i have different parts. Some are identical, but (1:1) mirrored.ipt. Then I merge them in the BOM in order to set the qty on "2" in the partslist.
Here the error occurs: in the "mass" field in the parts list says "varies".
This keeps me from generating a good partslist and the total mass of the weldment maybe messed up. I personally think it has something to do with the fact that the parts are sheetmetals. i.e when I look atthe Physical properties of the folded / unfolded (of the SAME .ipt) they differ in the same way i see in the BOM.
AutoCAD .NET :: Select Object Command Prompt
Jun 4, 2012I'm creating a VB.Net routine which will run the REVCLOUD command. In my application I prompt the user to select a single polyline using:
EntRslt = acDoc.Editor.GetEntity(EntOpts)
Then later I run the REVCLOUD command using:
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("_revcloud Object Poly No ", False, False, True)
Where Poly is the polyline I selected earlier. Of course, the line above doesn't work since "Poly" is interpreted as a string. But I would like to figure out how to pass my VB.Net selected Polyline into the REVCLOUD command.
How I might do this? The REVCLOUD command will not accept the "Previous" selection set so setting the Implied Selectoin does not work. If my Polyline was the Last object in the database I could use the "Last" option, but it isn't.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Mirror Does Not Inherit Part Changes
Jul 6, 2012i am using Autodesk Inventor 2012 to design a pipeline structure. I have a problem when mirroring a 3D sketch with applyed frames. the problem is that if after the mirror operation i edit the original sketch, the modifications are not inherited by the mirrored part of the structure. in particular when i mirror a 3D assembly and edit the original assembly the modifications are made also in the mirrored part but the program does it in a wrong way as long as the constraints are not satisfied and the position of the parts are not the same as the original assembly.
How to mirror an object and preserving the link between the original and the copy in order to make modifications to all the parts mirrored in an easy way?
