Here is the original drawing I am trying to model in Inventor:
My front view looks like this:
My 3d view looks like this:
Compare my front view with the original and you will notice an extra circle. I am not sure why that is, but I think it might be because I may not have not modeled the backview properly.
I create a engine assembly and used "Drive Constrain" to rotate the crank shaft. The animation shows the crank shaft turns continuously in one direction. However, when I animate the constrain in Inventor Studio, the crank shaft turned in two different directions (see the vide file attached).
May I know why the crank shaft turns different direction?
I am trying to write a code that says if a door width is within a certain range to select a specific product. The range is something like 19" to 21" select hinge 1, if it it within 21.125 = > 24" use hinge 2 .... etc.
I am new to iLogic programming, and I am pretty much self taught. I am also getting used to doing things a different way so I can make iParts out of them. I already have my door dimensions in a spreadsheet so I can control it from there.
Does Saveas really need to be case sensitive. I just spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my addin wasn't working and all that was wrong is I had a capital P on png.
Dim sPath As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(sIDWName) & "PartsLists" Dim sFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sIDWName) & ".Png" vs Dim sFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sIDWName) & ".png" Dim sPNGName As String = sPath & "" & sFileName MsgBox(sPNGName) oCamera.SaveAsBitmap(sPNGName, 1124, 899)
My laptop did crash last month so...I was a GIMP 2.6 user and now I have Gimp 2.8 . There's something not right with the custom brush size. I made a round brush 201 X 201 pixels. I also made another one 2001 X 2001 pixels. I did crank up the size of the brushes to the "max"( but no matter what size you choose) and...both are of the same size on the image ???
As CAD administrator at my company, which is in the process of implementing Inventor/Vault, I am quite sold on the Layout Modeling/Multi-body part modeling functionality that Inventor supports. Among other things I believe there is a large payoff in assembly stability and simplicity. However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies. URLs....
I have a single AutoCAD LT 2008 user who lost the ability to change the case on text in a drawing. Normally, he would highlight text, say it was uppercase, right click to choose change case and he would select lowercase and it would do as designed. Now, it simply deletes the highlighted text.
We've done a repair install with no result. Anyway to restore or fix this functionality?
I have a computer where all text entered in AutoCAD text/mtext comes out in uppercase. Pressing the shift key while entering the text has no effect. The CAD-Girl involved has admitted to sniffing around in Express Tools System Variables and changing a few, but she cannot remember any more which ones she changed.
When I want to test if block with a given name exists in drawing, I use Block Table. Has(key as String) method, which is case sensitive, but then, when I try to insert a block with the same name, but different case, the block name is considered the same.
How can I test if the block in in the drawing then?
I have been trying to use the tcase command to change text case on a current drawing. some of the text is listed in properties with :A1 and various other squares and ( etc .). Any way to change this text. When I try exploding it and changing to mtext the fractions and all parts of the text is exploded as well.
I like the AutoCAPS setting in Mtext, however I occasionally use lower-case text when I am typing, such '2"x4" STUDS' . . . now, I do have a problem with AutoCAPS though:
Example - I copy '2"x4" STUDS" and paste it into another Mtext and the lower-case 'x' is automatically pasted as an uppercase character.
Are there any settings for AutoCAPS, or maybe for the copy/paste command that I can change to allow lower-case characters to be pasted into text when the AutoCAPS is on? It is a bit of a hassle to turn off AutoCAPS and turn it back on.
Switching between paper/model modes in case of overlapping viewports,I got 4 viewports (screenshot is attached)
My issue here is that I couldn’t switch between the paper/model modes for the inside viewports! This can be done only for the “biggest” viewport (that bounds the other viewports)
Then how can I switch between the paper/model modes for viewport number 2, for example?Right clicking a particular viewport (attached) doesn’t give option to do so!
I am writing various text insertion lisp routines. I want the computer to default to UPPERCASE before the user enters any text to ensure the text is added to the drawing as UPPERCASE text at all times.
create a routine to list all the dyanmic blocks in my drawing with a specific visibilty parameter name. The problem with the blocks that I'm trying to search for in my draiwng is that the visibility names are very similar with the only differences being CASE sensitivity (ie. OBJECT vs. Object).
(defun c:test (/ BNAME DATA E I PNAME SS VIS) (if (setq data nil vis (getstring T " Enter the Visibility Parameter Name: ") ss (ssget"_X"(list (cons 0 "INSERT") (cons 2 "`*U*")) ) ) ;; setq (progn (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))(cond ((and (setq bname(vla-get-EffectiveName (setqe (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)) ) ) )) ) (setq Pname(car (vl-remove-if-not '(lambda(j) (eq (strcase (vla-get-PropertyName j)) (strcase vis) )) (vlax-invoke e 'GetDynamicBlockProperties) )) ) (not (member bname data)) ) (setq data (cons bname data)) (foreach itm data (print itm)) ));; cond );; repeat );; progn );; if (if (null data) (princ " Block/Parameter Name not found")) (princ))
I'm trying to create a two sheet drawing showing the different states of manufacturing for a fabrication that is further machined. The first sheet would be the fabrication and the second sheet would show the final machining. Due to the complexity of the part, cramming everything onto one drawing is not a very good option. I was hoping to use Views or LOD but that won't work. Am I missing something? The part is not suitable for using the weldments option either.
I am new to Inventor and am trying to model a hopped safety ladder in Inventor. I have gone through the stages of creating the 2D sketch then adding to assembly and creating the frame which had worked ok for the standard straight run. I am having problems however with the hopped safety cage section which is slightly more complex. I have created a basic circle in sketch part and managed to add a frame to this but I can't copy the component or modify it to create the hopped cage or add it to the main frame.
Just switched to 2012 from 2010. When I try to edit the description format field in the properties window of a selected cogo point, I can't type in caps, it's all lower case. If I right click and edit the point, I can use capital letters, however. (running C3D 2012 sp4, Win7 64bit, 8GB)
i'm having a problem with my photoshop CS. whenever i create a new type layer and begin typing, it will only type letter in upper case. i can't get any lower case letters.
I am creating a portfolio DVD with all of my work to make it look really professional with menus and whatnot. I want the cover art to be professional too, so I created a nice case in photoshop using this :
Document Size :
Width : 10.75
Height : 7.125
Resolution : 200
Resample Image: Bicubic
Then I set up my rulers and created my DVD....
Now when I click print, it says clipping will occur. Which I dont see why, cause the document size (in landscape mode) isn't bigger than a sheet of paper. (Which Im using semi-thin cardstock to print on) But it still says clipping. So I click ok, hoping it will work, and set it up for landscape. It prints out, but it clips and doesn't do the whole thing, it cuts off of the left and right side. Yet it still has alot of blank paper it could have used to print on, I checked all my settings to see if there is something I could have missed, but i dont see anything at all that can help me with this matter.
