I am looking for a way to miter two pieces of rectangular hollow section.
I have placed the parts from the content center as custom parts, now I am looking for a way to perform a miter on the them where they intersect.
I am aware I can perform the miter if the sections had been created through frame generator but I was wondering if miter could be used outside the fg environment.
I am trying to replace a custom part - created from a content center part - with a copied part with a different name. (I am using the replace tool in an assembly.) However, Inventor is not replacing the part with the part I pick but rather the content center version of it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.
When inserting a content center part for which we have to choose a material, we would like to have a custom material as a default (material with name: "No material selected"). So when selecting no material for this part (for example when the user forgets to select a specific material), the default material (in this case material "No material selected") will be active. In this way, we can see in one view across the BOM which parts have no material assigned yet.
How can this be achieved in the content center (editor)?

When inserting parts from CC, by default As Standard is chosen, but I always need As Custom, so I can choose where to place the files. Is it possible to make As Custom default option?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a folder on our server that contains commonly used parts by several users. My thought was that by referencing this folder as library in their projects, they wouldn't be able to change the parts. I could also build assemblies referencing these common parts so they wouldn't have to be copied into each project folder...
During the save option in their assemblies, the parts show up as NO (in a library), but this can be bypassed by "YES TO ALL".Is this not the right process for setting up a custom part library?Also, the users are experiencing some lag issues... Could this be the reason?
I have a lot of custom libraries for purchased items for my projects. When I bring them into my assemblies I cannot turn on or off surface planes or make any changes.
I get the message that the file is not checked out to me. How can I make it so they are always checked out to me. The libraries are mine on my system.
I am trying to add a custom iProperty from my assembly to the drawing parts list. According to the help wiki, I'm supposed to click Column Chooser > New Property > Custom Properties List (click here to see the relevant wiki page--also see the attached screenshot called Custom Property Help.png).
When I click on new property, there is nothing about Custom Properties List.
how to copy parts from the existing CC to newly created custom folders within the CC. We are now just starting to look into which parts we want to be in our custom folders moving forward.
Once we copy them over, the plan is to change the descriptions and possibly some dimension values. Because we are in the early stages of revamping our companies part number scheme the thought was to keep the out of the box P/N's currently showing in the family table of these parts. Some of these parts have already been used as "Standard" (not custom) from out of the box in the CC and these said parts have already been checked into the vault. If we are not changing the part numbers in the copied parts family table, is this going to create errors when checking these copied parts into the vault? Part of me is saying I am going to get the "This part already exists in the Vault" error message being they are standard parts But, the other part of me says technically they are different so maybe this wont be an issue. I am looking for confirmation of this.
I also would like to know if it is possible, when you have two separate custom folders in the CC can you copy the same component into both folders changing only slight things.

I have created a custom library (custom content center), and that went fine. All I done was copy a family of RHS from the desktop content center into my custom content library. I then created a small test assembly with frame generator to see if I could use my custom library. It worked fine BUT when I place it into a drawing and create the parts list, the parts list shows all the info in an order that is no use to me. (see attached *SNIP A*)
What I would like is that when I use frame generator along with my custom library, then take it into a drawing, the parts list needs to look like the attached file (see attached *SNIP B*).
So really, I want the "Unit QTY" to vanish, I want the "QTY" to show the Quantity of that part within the assembly, I want the "stock Number" to vanish and I want the description to show the size of the member (what the "stock number" currently shows) along with the length of the member.
Now I know I can edit all this for each part within the parts list BUT I need the parts list to show this info EVERY time AND automatically.
I'm having a bit of trouble creating a new parts list style. I really want to have two styles to choose from in all three of my .idw templates. I understand how to create them but I can't save them to the library.

I go to the Parts List, Insert a Custom Part, click Apply, Click Ok and nothing shows up. I go back in to Edit the Parts List and the Custom Part is not there at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen inserting a Content Center part into an assembly as a custom part instead of as a standard one, then opening and modifying the part, the thumbnail for the new file is not updating to show the modifications. In this particular instance: a pipe blind flange with an off-center hole drilled through the face. The thumbnail still shows as the original (and fairly pixelated) CC blind flange. forcing the thumbnail to update?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working with several drawings that were created, I believe, using Inventor 2011. I am currently using Inventor 2013. I noticed some views do not show the outlines of custom parts created using Content Center. And it's only some of the parts within the view. The outlines of parts created the same way show up correctly. The B.O.M. structures for the parts are set to Normal. I toyed with the Drawing View Settings' Display Options with no avail. When the Drawing View is set to Hidden Lines Removed, the part doesn't appear at all. When I select the shaded option, the part appears, but there is still no outline.
Along similar lines (no pun intended), sometimes the outline extends beyond the actual part location. For example, a pipe that is 24 inches will show up in the drawing view as 72 inches. When the shaded option is selected, the part appears correctly, but the outline extends beyond the shaded area.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to do a miter fold yet? If you don't know what that is, picture this:
Take a strip of material say 4"x48"x1/2", chamfer the 2 short ends @ 45 deg, cut 3 45deg v-grooves at equal spacing & leave .030" material at the bottom of the groove. Now fold the machined part into a rectangle.
I have several parts to get cut for one of our customers.
The provided the pdf I have attached, and I need to create and .ipt so we can cut it on our tube laser.
This is getting the better of me on how I would put my work planes in order to get the correct angles.

I am trying to miter the joints in an assembly being used for iCopy. Currently there is a driver sketch which has lines bisecting each corner at 45 degrees. However, what happens is that when the top line of the sketch is dragged across the bottom line of the sketch or the left line is dragged across the right so that the rectangle inverts itself, the line no longer bisects the angle. See the attached pictures for details.
This sketch shown is a master sketch used to drive part length and end details in an assembly. The blue lines are extruded into surfaces which define the parts using a "Between two planes" extrusion.
The sketch is unconstrained in four ways: overall width, overall height, vertical and horizontal movement. This is done to accomodate its use in as a flexible assembly in an iCopy command. What happens is that when the user applies the iCopy points from the wrong side of a sketch plane in the parent assembly, the sketch flips itself and resizes the assembly but the miters are inverted.
I am creating part files for one of our machines, and how to proceed with making a smooth transition on the bevel, like it is showing on the print from our customer.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am working on an assembly that is designed around a box (bounding box) that could change size. I modeled the bounding box and placed it in a new assembly file. All other parts have been created within the assembly by referencing that bounding box with starting work plane and project geometry.
The problem comes in when I change the bounding box dimensions. The work planes for each additional part, which were defined by the faces of the bounding box, do not move when the sides move. Also, my projected geometry is not updating correctly. This is a simple box, with all 90° corners. So, all associated parts (at this point) are just rectangles.
My parts list on my idw do not update when I make changes to the model. Specifically, I have deleted a bolted connection on my design and replaced with a different components but the parts list table does not update - all I see is a lightning bolt in the browser next to the parts list but I cannot update it here.

I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??
Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
