AutoCAD Inventor :: Missing Old Constraint Error Dialogue Box
Dec 6, 2012
In Inventor 2011 and previous, one could detect assembly constraint errors by taking a component that was not fully constrained and manipulating it via a mouse click and drag. This would launch a dialogue box listing all the constraints that are having problems and still allow you to accept the manual part manipulation.
However, I am now using Inventor 2013 and when I have constraint errors, I cannot manually manipulate non-fully constrained objects and do not get that overall constraint error dialogue box. Is there a setting to turn this back on?

Where the "Layout constraint" options have gone in Inventor 2014?
Last seen in Inventor 2013 on the right-click menu of a part created through the "Make components" workflow, this invaluable tool has been abducted.

Inventor Pro 2013 SP 1.1
I’m suing the Mould Design feature of Inventor Professional and need to have four cavities for this mould. When I try to use the pattern function nothing happens. I look at the Wiki help and it says that I have to enter values for X direction X distance etc, but this dialogue box does not appear.
How can I get the box to appear?

I gues this is another bug by Autodesk that is comming up in my stress analysis. Basically all work I have done is gone. The frame won't appear and get big "NOT AVAILIBLE" on my screen. There is no way to fix it because there is no red cross highlighted

I am having performance problems with constraining a FG assembly. I have a simple frame, (cube form). When I am trying to constrain some brakets to the frame (or anything else) and click apply, Inventor freezes and I have to wait about 2 mins.
The same when I try to insert new frame members

I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine just for some practice (just started using Inventor) and everything was going smoothly until I tried to "animate" it spinning. First, I set up a work plane that goes through the center of the structure, and then I clicked angle constraint "explicit reference vector." After watching several youtube videos, I figured that I should click on the work plane, click on another reference point, and then click another point that would be orthogonal to those two (right?). Well after I choose the first point, Inventor will only allow me to choose the center axis as the second option (which I think should be the third option).

When I open a .dwg file, 'Missing SHX Files' dialogue pops out. I checked the box 'Always perform my current choice', and clicked 'Ignore the missing SHX files...'. Then .dwg opened, but all text information were not displayed. I closed the .dwg, and reopen again, but this 'Missing SHX Files' does not pop out again.
How to get this 'Missing SHX Files' dialogue back?
See the attachment.

We are curently using ACAD2011.
I installed ACAD2012 but never got the Migrate custom settings box upon opening ACAD2012 for the 1st time.
I reviewed Autodesk Help that ensured me that I could also find it thru:
<start...Autodesk mech 2012Migrate custom settingsmigrate from a previous release>
Epic fail... all that showed up there was export and import autoCAD 2012 settings.
Where oh where could my migration tools box have gone? Why is it not there?
(FYI, this happened to us when we upgraded from 2010 to 2011 also but we thought we had done something wrong so we eventually just manually transferred files over. That was very time consuming and we do not want to perform that exercise again.)

When ever I open a drawing from the file menu or open file icon, the preview pane is missing from the dialogue box. I is there if i use file new or when I insert a block of file. Please see attached screen print.

A work mate here at sometime or another clicked on the "always perform my current choice" check box when the "Hatch - Large, Dense Hatch Patterns" dialogue box appeared.
Question is, is there anyway to reset this so the dialogue box comes back up?

Out side door pull will not stay in place in project view when family is loaded into wall thickness narrower than that used in family detail.
In family editor have tried pinning the pull and pinning its dimension. Cannot lock the dimension due to constraint error. Pull is dimensioned to ref plane at center of glass door. (Door is sliding glass adjacent to stationary glass panels.)

This is the second time in a week this has happened. Was able to repair it the first time by changing the name MediaDatabase.db3 to MediaDatabase.old

Since upgrading to LR 5.2, I can no longer upload photos to Facebook. I get this message: "An error occurred while attempting to load this plug-in’s portion of the Export dialog. attempt to index upvalue '?' (a nil value)"
How do I get LR 5.2 to work again with my Facebook account?

I have an assembly which has components mated to a radial surface, I need to locate the center of a round slot against an axis, I have X Y coordinates, how can I constrain that part to those X Y coordinates?
Attached is a picture of the assembly.

I am currently creating a chain block to be animated later on. But, I do not know how to constraint it.
I have attached a zip file of the .ipt and .iam

Maybe I've just been doing it wrong for the last 5 years, but the Angle constraint is obnoxiously unpredictable. When I constrain a part in an assembly with an angle constraint from the assembly origin plane (or anything else), Inventor always has two solutions; a positive and negative.
Is there something I'm missing here, or is just a design flaw we have to live with?

Is it possible to create a new TAB in the standard iProperties dialogue box for Inventor Models and Drawings? I want a completely new TAB to hold unique company information fields without having to create Custom Property fields.

I have a question regarding a transitional constraint between a pin and a surface within an adaptive assembly.
I would like the pin and the surface to be transitional only when the two parts "interfere" with each other.
At the moment with the example attached part A is remaining tangent to part B, restricting the necessary movement of part B to function properly in the mechanism.
In simplified terms I need part B to be able to break free of the "transitional constraint" of part A under certain movement conditions within the mechanism.

This is probably a simple one that I am missing, but how do I get a parallel constraint applied to these two edges.

I have noticed what I consider a bug in AI2009. When trying to delete a coincident constraint using the show constraint command, it is impossible to do so. All other constraints I can delete while I am in the "show constraints" dialog box, but not coincident constraints. As soon as I get out of the "Show constraints" command, the yellow dots are still showing and I can then hover over them and they highlight so I can delete them. Is this how it was intended or should I be able to delete them like the others while still in the "show constraints" command?

I'm running 2014. Somehow, in my ignorance, I have managed to turn off the constraint symbols that show up beside the cursor as I'm sketching.

Is there a way to expand the constraint window so that I can see my entire parameter formula? In the image below, my equation is cut off in the "offset" window. Or am I supposed to be inputting the parameters in some other manner?

I'm having a really difficult time maintaining my parameters when making changes to the part I've made in the attachment. The control parameters for this part are:
-100 mm distance between 15mm circles
-1 of the 15 mm holes
-30 mm hole
I am new to inventor but I would also like to be able to set up my constraints correctly. I'm also not sure if my sketches are ideal for this part either. I usually get an error concerning my fillets from the base to the center support beam when I try to change the 100 to 75.

I've assembled a bolt and a slide block that is constrained to a base plate and am able to put everything in motion. I have the slide block constrained to slide the distance of the base plate and when I reach the end the bolt continues to rotate when, if this was a real part, should stop. How can I get this bolt to stop once the slide block reaches its ending constraint?

How do you constrain an object to the origin once the origin constraint has been deleted. I'm not really sure how it became unconstrained in the first place. When I try to constrain the drawing using the coincident constraint it won't allow me to select the origin.

Why can I not constrain placed objects with three constraints? Anything I place constrains with one constraint then is virtually fixed (without being) and cannot even be moved to allow for further constraining.

My need is to assembly parts into an assembly by a known position in the assembly. The part has a UCS and I create UCS on the assembly programatically. What I cannot do is to constrain the two UCS. I tried this (Inventor 2013 x64 on W7/W8 64, c++ 2010 by the way DEBUG mode is not working from the IDE):
CAssemblyComponentDefinition compDef = doc.get_ComponentDefinition();
// MOdules UCS
CUserCoordinateSystems coords = compDef.get_UserCoordinateSystems();
CTransientGeometry geom = m_InventorApp.get_TransientGeometry();
CMatrix matrix = geom.CreateMatrix();
[code]...

Basically, I would like to do this:
[URL]..........
(i.e., take two object Z axes and constraint them to be the same), but in C#. In particular, what puzzles me is that I cannot make
'Get the Z-axis work axis from the occurrent.
Dim oPartAxis As WorkAxis
Set oPartAxis = oPartOcc.Definition.WorkAxes.Item(3)
in C# because the Definition object has not a WorkAxis instance.

See attached screen shot.
To activate the new position of the assembly of approx 5k instances takes about 5 minutes in IV 2013 when using Drive constraint. The larger the assembly the longer it takes
In IV2011 takes about 10 seconds. I've never seen the "Not responding" sign in Drive constraint window in previous versions. I'm just wondering how can avoid this "New feature" of 2013.
