AutoCAD Inventor :: Models Of Standard Bottle Threads?

Jan 6, 2012

I'm working on some bottle concepts and I have a need to model standard plastic bottle threads. These threads are designated by a diameter in mm and how many threads are on the bottle. Example: 33-400  The 33 is the diameter and 400 refers to a single turn of the cap. Manufacturers like Aptar make bottle tops of various types to fit this spec. I happen to be looking at dispensing lids (think Heinz Ketchup bottle). While I've found specs for Major diameter, Minor diameter and TPI, I have found precious little that describes the thread shape itself. I've tried to reverse engineer a sample thread from... you guessed it.. a Heinz Ketchup bottle. I feel that my venier caliper and micrometer are not doing this effort justice. 

Looking for DWG file or Inventor model of the thread profile? 

I'm using the coil command to create the thread on the bottle neck. It works okay. An issue arises with the thread termination. The threads on the bottle itself "chamfer" into the bottle neck. While I don't think I can do this with the coil command itself, how to create the "lead-in" for the plastic thread.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Developing Casting Models Into Machining Models

Oct 6, 2011

We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.

Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.

Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?

Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Threads In STL File

Mar 28, 2013

This has to be a bug in the program. I created a part, added a standard 5/8" threaded hold in it. It looks great.

I export to STL thinking that I can print this part on my 3D printer. There are no threads, just a hole. What is wrong with the STL export?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modeling Screw Threads

Apr 4, 2012

How to properly model a screw thread around the point of the screw.

I have gotten the coil to taper to the point, however, I'm unable to get thread to terminate properly. 

Essentially, the pitch remains the same as it moves down the taper, but the major/minor is diminishing until it terminates cleanly at the point.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Turning Off Hole Threads

Oct 29, 2011

My part does everything I want with threads but the other option I need to program is a straight hole with no threads. I assume I can do this with Param for the existing hole but not sure what it would be called? Is there a list or method of determining what these parameters are called so I'll be able to find them in the future?

I have to export the drawing to STEP for machinist that uses Solidworks. How can I include the threads into STEP file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Link Multiple Threads

Apr 10, 2013

I have a hole tapped from both sides. I did a hole tapped to a depth but drilled through and added a thread feature at the other end. I had changed the hole (from 7/8-9 to 1-8) but the note on the drawing was attached to the thread feature.

I would like to set it up so that the thread feature will automatically be the same as the thread on the hole. I don't get any errors saying that the hole is the wrong size for the thread, and both ends of the hole look the same (which I find somewhat disturbing).

I need to link the threads together. At the very least it should look wrong, and hopefully complain that it's wrong, but I would much rather have access to these features so I can control them better.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault Server A Possible Bottle Neck For Content Center?

Aug 1, 2013

I have recently set up a new PC with pretty high end specs and have noticed Inventor still doesnt perform as expected, i am using maybe 5% of my 64gb ram and 10-20% of my i7 4ghz CPU.

We are using a network vault and the content center is stored on the vault, using frame generator i have noticed significant performance problems (considering these specs)

Could it be a bottle neck in the Server?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Color-table For Fits / Threads / Features

Dec 11, 2012

We want to substitute drawings with a color-palette. This means, we have to set different colors to different kind of features ( i.e. H7-fitting to red, thread to yellow, ....). We do this manually by now.

I mean, if on makes a fit-hole then automatically it appears in red. All threads he makes are in yellow and so on. Is there a chance to make a feature-based color-table in inventor and if it is so.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Insert Threads Into Hole At Assembly Level

Jan 11, 2013

I have an assembly that is made up of 3 unique parts ( 5 parts total). These parts and there features are to be laser cut, then assembled and welded along the outer perimeter in the small chamfer. I have designed the parts to have 5/16 holes, which will be later tapped to 3/8"-16 UNC after assembly.

Once these parts are assembled, I don't understand how I can change the holes to reflect this. Meaning I want the parts to be pre-drilled(laser cut) with 5/16 holes, but I want the assembly to then have 3/8-16UNC holes.

The hole command will not let me select the existing hole features in the assembly and add threads. What is the consequence of inserting a 'new' hole with 3/8-16UNC threads over the existing 5/16" holes in the assembly?

Is my workflow incorrect? should I have the parts modeled with the tapped holes and just make a note on the drawing to not tap these holes until assembly? how does that affect the laser cutting?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppressing Detail Of Threads On Imported Parts

Aug 3, 2013

company needs a very elaborate parts list on the drawings regarding different custom properties of parts (so I created new parts to easily add these custom columns...without screwing up parts in the content center somehow).

I needed to get things up and running quick so I imported a good handful of bolts and nuts from McMaster Carr.

the threading on the bolts is so detailed that it's really cluttering up the drawing views with extra line geometry (basically black blobs wherever bolt threads or hidden bolt threads are located)...is there any way to lower the detail of objects, say just to show the outline of the bolt and it's "perimeter" thread outline...but not show the individual threading across a bolts face?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Threads Match On A Male And Female Part

Apr 8, 2013

How to make the threads match on a male and female part. Using a tap size chart, I made a hole 31.5 mm in diameter. Then I added interior threads with a tap size M33 x1.5. How do I determine the diameter of the male part before adding threads? Would it also be 31.5 mm? I plan on 3d printing these parts, so I've also been using the thread modeler tool.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Thread Class On External Custom Threads Won't Show In Callout

May 2, 2012

I can't tell if this is a bug or a "feature."

I have created a custom thread.xls table so that thread callouts are in decimal format per ASME B1.1.

When I use the Hole / Thread feature note in an .idw, the thread class will not show on an external thread. If I change the format to not use Custom Thread Designation, the thread class appears. If I use the Custom Thread Designation on a threaded hole, everything works fine.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Models That Have Optional Materials?

Jul 30, 2012

I am lookng for a way to allow multiple material selections for a drawing/model

We have components that avaialable in both 304 and 316. We have seperated stock codes for each of the selections what I would like to do is to come up with a way that I don't need multiple models of these features. The deisgns are virtually the same except for the material change.

In previous cad systems I used a tabled system in the model that would allow you to vary paramters such as Iproperties or even dimensions in one model.

This elimated duplication of work includeing double maintenance for the models?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Get Model Sketches On All Models In Drawing?

When comes the time to make my drawing, I get my model sketch and they show on my 2D, no problem.

Well today, it seems Inventor 2014 just gave up on giving me my sketches. Here is the console view of of the lid with the tag texts showing:

Now let's go over the second lid on the same plan and get my model sketch to see the rest of my text.

Click on it and ....

Nothing! still no text.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Share 3D Models With Mac And Linux Users

Feb 6, 2013

We are using Autodesk Inventor for our 3D modelling and we are working together with a group of scientists.

Those people would like to see our models, rotate them, take measurements, change the visibility of parts or subassemblies and maybe even make cross sections.

It works quite well with the Design Review program, but unfortunately our scientists mostly use Mac OS or Linux. Running Design Review under a windows emulation is not an option for our big models.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Professional 2013 - Lagging With Big Models

Aug 29, 2013

At work we have recently upgraded to Inventor 2013 Pro, Although Inventor isnt the most widely used program in the company so its hard to find time to do some set up and get it going smooth. My problem is that i am working on a large process plant all done in inventor and the file is quite large. It takes along time to load and is really laggy when inside the model. Now the model is based in my local office's server my question is if i was using Vault would it keep a local copy on my C:// rather than trying to refresh all parts from ther server. If it is a matter that when working with large files using Vault is the better option than i will need to take some advantages
