AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Draft On Face
Sep 5, 2012Trying to add draft to an area on this part. Not sure exactly how to get the results I'm looking for. Tried "Draft" command and that didnt work at all. Tried to do a sweep. Its close, but not exacly what I want.
I am trying to get draft applied on this entire face at a given angle (say 5°). The Sweep feature in the part is where I attempted it, but you can see below the Ø6in section, all of the face does not have the draft on it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Apply A Face Draft Of Any Kind
Apr 26, 2012I'm using Inventor Professional 2012. I have what seems like a relatively simple part, but I cannot find any way to apply a face draft to the four quadrants between the upper outer and inner "'cylinders". I get the dreaded "did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs." no matter which type of draft I try. I have created parting line drafts everywhere else. how I can get these faces to draft?

May 16, 2013Is there any way to set the default angle when using the 'Face Draft' command. The default angle is set to 2.5 degrees - for my application 45 would be more useful.

Jul 22, 2013I'm having a real problem with a part I'm trying to develop:
I'm attempting to have a single timber part that has several draft face features within it, so I can control the bevelsa on the part with iLogic at a later date. The problem I'm having is that when the "running bevel" changes direction it throws out the bevels on the ends. (I've attached the file, it's very difficult to put into words.
But basically: When the running bevel is "forward" the end bevel measures 20degrees (as it should) When I flip the running bevel to "backwards" the same end bevel now measure 19.7degrees while the input parameter still says 20.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How To Draft And Assemble Parts
Oct 14, 2013I went through a bunch of tutorials on how to draft and assemble parts and when going through them step by step everything looks really neat and works well. Start with blank files and try creating something from scratch and that is when the laws of the universe no longer apply.
I am sure I am doing something wrong here but the problem is when logic and common sense no longer apply and each mouse click and drag is bound by some law that cannot be documented let alone repeated that is when I start getting lost.
My assembly is mainly comprised of pipes, clamps and pipe T-joints which are joined by rotational joints. I am sure this has to be a tricky assembly task since I have witnessed numerous times my assembly flying apart in every possible direction into a tangled mess from just trying to nudge one part.
For example -> Currently I have a part bound by a single rotational joint and I ground the pipe this joint is connected to. I have used this many times now to rotate parts relative to one another to prevent the arbitrary explode and re-arrange that occurs if you do not ground a part. Now all of a sudden when I try to rotate this part I get a circle with a cross through it beside the mouse pointer telling me that this will not happen. Why now? For a sanity check I went back to a previously saved file and the same scenario works. Why?
The best part of this software is the: "The assembly cannot be solved" dialog that pops up as soon as anything gets more complex than a single joint. This dialog fascinates me since after it pops up and I cancel it I will spend a half hour trying to ground parts and nudge the pieces closer together. Then I try the exact same joint and...... it WORKS! It blows my mind every time. So is there a internal timer that ensures you spend an appropriate amount of time screwing around before it will let you pass to the next level? If I can ground/nudge the two pieces I want to join in about a half hour why can't the software do this, maybe I am missing something but I thought this was the point for software like Inventor?
How I would try manipulate it if it was in front of me. I see a part that needs to be rotated so I try click and drag it into place, of course Inventor has no clue that the part I click on could possibly be the one I want to move so every piece not grounded will fly off into random directions.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Views Are Currently Draft Preview
May 10, 2011I've been using Inventor for a few years now and haven't seen this. It created a base view with green marks and when I go to print it says
"One or more drawing views are currently draft previews. Draft previews differ from final views in quality and may produce visually different results. Would you like to wait for views to update before printing or smash the screen from irritation of having a new roadblock thrown in your way that we make no effort to remove for you? HAHA you ignorant fool you will never learn all the idiosyncrasies of our product".
Which I thought was a bit unnecessary.
It does make some effort actually. It sits there with a progress bar. This drawing is about as simple as I create and it can't get past the progress bar. If I print anyway, there is no line weight. So where is this little switch hidden to turn this off? I've already fiddled with background updates and the sunglasses are not checked and grayed out. I don't know how I never ran across this problem before or what could have changed. Given the performance of my computer, I don't think I need some low grade preview for drawings of this type.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Draft Angles - How To Show In 3D Drawing
Dec 16, 2011I'm currently working on a Spa design and using new tools which is all new to me. I've used Draft Angles before but on a spa where you sit normally the sit reclines back.
Now I'm not sure how to do / show this in a 3D drawing. I've read and serached for different things but have yet to find something similar I'm looking for.
I've attached a PDF along with the circled area as to what I'm trying to accoomplish. Wanna be able to show the dip etc via Inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Draft Shape That Begins As Protruded Rectangle
Jan 30, 2012I am attempting to draft a shape that begins as a protruded rectangle. The shape then continues as a protruded rectangle that bends and conforms to the shape of cone. That may have been confusing. The profile does not change in shape to a cone. Lets say I want to do a sweep, and use the rectangle as the profile. I pick a path that was project wrapped to the cone, and the cone as the surface. I have trouble with the outcome.
I get all kind of open loop errors, and stuff with the paths, oh and also I get an error saying that the the path is not tangient and continuous. I have spent hours trying to go at it different ways. I tried using rails and I still can't get this sweep to do what I am wanting it to do. The rectangular profile has to be perpendicular to the cone surface as it follows it for the outcome to be correct. I have attached the file.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Merging Circular Face To Flat Face
Aug 22, 2012All I need to do is merge a circular face to a flat face, so both faces become one continuous face. Is this possible at all?
I have a attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Face 1 needs to be merged with face 2. This is so if I constrain anything to that face it will constrain to the entire face and not either the circular face OR the flat face.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modify STP Model
Oct 22, 2013I have a STP file of a seat that I just want to simply modify it's dimensions. Bring some aspects in closer, raise the back, and hollow out the middle. I can't seem to do anything and in searching online I only ended up with Inventor Fusion 2013 R1 that crashes each time, and Fusion 360 which has to be the worst user experience I have ever found in a piece of software.
(Side note I understand a little about solid models and surface models, but I just want something to work, otherwise inventor is a glorified model viewer.
I couldn't attach the file so here is the link to it. [URL]........

Feb 9, 2013running autocad 2012: there is an autopreview that shows what the command will look like before I hit return. How do I turn it off.
The issue is: I am overdrafting what Autocad is able to keep up with. I feel like I am now at half speed... I can replicate the same issue: offset x dimension; I move to left and hit enter; in the same instance autocad has autopreviewed right, and that becomes the command that sticks. really annoying... I have run ADT with bloated files on the same machine and not had this problem, so I figure its this feature that is causing the slowdown for me.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Modify Dimension - No Way To Add Text
Nov 8, 2012I have a dimensioning problem. I have dimensions that I cannot modify as I normally do. I do not know what setting is stopping me but here is what it is doing. I add a dimension to a part. I then edit it to add 2X in front if it. It will then put it on top of the dimension. If I put it behind the text, it then goes beneath the dimension. There is no way to add text and it would actually appear on the same line as the dimension.

Oct 25, 2012It is possible to change a document style color with a VBA macro or why not with iLogic ?.
I regularly imports STEP and the parts have defined colors. Unfortunately for change must clear all colors of surfaces. By cons, if you edit the styles we see that for each color there is a style with the color name.
So basically if I change a color style, all parts using this style will change.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Replace File And Modify Occurrence Name
Sep 10, 2012I need to rename and replace occurences in an assembly, then modify the occurence name.I rename and replace only Farme generator components, which is tested by <condiftion>.What I want to do :
- Num = ABC
- Original filename = toto.ipt
- New filename = ABC_toto.ipt, and Occurence name = ABC_toto
The code :
fileDir contain the file path
docFName contain the original file name (for example, toto.ipt)
Num contain the prefix to add to the name and the occurence name (for example, ABC)
If <condition>Then
New_name = fileDir & Num & "_" & docFName
Call oFileNameOcc.SaveAs(New_name, True)
Call oOccurrence.Replace(New_name, False)
oOccurrence.name = Num & "_" & oOccurrence.name
End If
The problem is, the first time I use the macro, the prefix is added twice in the occurence name (the filename is ok) : I obtain ABC_ABC_toto. This happen only the first time, and only on an orrignal Frame Generator assembly.
If I use the macro again, with for example Num = 123, the result is : 123_ABC_ABC_toto.Where is the problem ?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Modify Default-ISO Text Style?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modify A Sketch Symbol Globally
Nov 9, 2012Is it possible to modify a sketch symbol that has existing prompted text while keeping the existing prompted text? For example, I have a sketch symbol that is placed on every detail on the drawing. We could have 8 details on a drawing.
This sketch symbol uses prompted text to fill in the relevant information for each detail. Is there a way to change the sketch symbol globally and then copy the sketch symbol in to each drawing without losing the prompted text? Currently I have to modify the sketch symbol within each drawing. To keep the prompted text.
