I downloaded the full package of mold design library and installed it following instruction. Unfortunately, it does not work properly. I failed to insert a mold base after creating core and cavity. The pop up window of Vendor and Type is empty.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a silhouette curve in the plastic part, and marked it for export.
In mold environment, I need it as startup curve for the runoff surfaces. But whatever I try, it's always switching back to being not used.
my problem is that when I go to put in a gate (in this case a fan gate) of the type and shape shown below, I can't do it. It seems like gates have to only be above or below the parting line, rather than right on (and symmetrical about) it, and a fan gate (apparently) must always have a flat bottom.
(This is a snip of the drawing for the actual tool. I have to run some mold flow analysis on it before we authorize cutting steel. I could just model the whole 2-cavity assembly with gates and runners, and then lie to Inventor and tell it that the part actually has a sprue gate ... but I'd prefer to do it the right way.)
Possible to do mold design with Inventor? I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to scale a part for shrinkage? I know SolidWorks has a scaling feature but where is it in Inventor?

How do I determine what the problem is with my part I'm trying to bring in? This was a part that was brought in from a .step file, then saved it as a .ipt. No problems that I can see with the .ipt, but Inventor Mold does not like it for some reason.
I created a mold design of bicycle frame. when i generated core and cavity, i faced some problems.
it said,
1. there are small gaps between these edges (edge set 1, maximum gaps is 25.16917 mm. edge set 2, maximum gaps is 25.16917mm)
2. runoff surfaces penetrate the porduct (surface 1, surface 2, until surface 6)

how to create or edit existing .idcl mold catalogue for injection mold.
We are using 'Hales' type injection moulds and I would like to create .idcl for my library to use it with Inventor Tooling.
In the attached part if I change the value of the length parameter from 19" to 20" Work Axis 1 updates to the 19" location, if I change it back from 20" to 19" it goes to the 20" position.
In the images below, the axis should be in the center of that last slot.
I have came across a couple that require you to use the design tab but I do not have a design tab. I then try and use the add ins button to intall it but when i click on it, nothing happens.

I have made the object but not the mold can I create a mold around the object? The result should be similar to the picture below but I don`t know how to make a mold around my object. The mold could be a double mold consisting of two pieces of.
How to create a slide for the mold I am designing. I have looked at the tooling tutorials but they are not very useful when it comes to something which doesn't follow the tutorial workflow.
In the case of our product I require that the cavity which has been created to be split down the centre into two halves (essentially the cavity becomes the slides). I have tried a number of methods to achieve this but can't get it right.
I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

I am creating a Carbon Fiber glider. I have drawn the entire file and assembled it in autodesk inventor. How can I take each individual part and create a mold that I can CNC out? I just need a mold CAD file and then can run it through mastercam to get the G&M Code.
View 9 Replies View Relatedlast week you drafted a mold for my plug part, but you didn't exmplain the steps I need to follow to create the mold using the derive command. Would you mind posting the steps for myself and other forum readers to follow. I guess my real question is: how do you create a 2 part mold using the derive command?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI spent quite a bit of time modeling up a male sided mold to press skateboards in a vaccum bag. I want to create a female mold from this file, but need to make sure there is a 1/2" off set to account for board thickness. I've looked at derive and mold but since I have zero experience with either command I have spent hours going in circles.
The attached picture is what my mold looks like. Just a big rectangle that is 2" thick with some rounded contours cut on the top.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a packaging mold for an 'item assembly' which I have created in AutoDesk Inventor. To do so, in a new 'mold assembly', I made a solid rectangular prism with the assembly constrained in the middle of it. I then import this new 'mold assembly' through the 'derive component' option into a new part and make Inventor subtract from the prism the shape of the 'item assembly'. This gives me my mold, however I am not sure how I can erase the original 'item assembly' that was placed inside the prism (which is now a mold), for it still remains after the derive component feature has been executed. How I can remove it?
View 2 Replies View Relatedif i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?
the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?
Having just installed PDS Ultimate 2013 on a Vista-64 machine, I notice while viewing the Wiki files, that the installation installed only a Partial Library of Metric Mold Bases. I wish to install ALL Mold Bases, i.e. Imperial, Metric and Meusburger. I followed instruction per "Mold Design Desktop content Libraries for Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012".
I deleted the existing partial metric idcl file and moved the Imperial.idcl, metric.idcl and meusberger.idcl file into the content center libraries folder. The replacement files are named AI_2012 Inventor Mold Imperial, AI_2012 Inventor Mold Metric and AI_2012 Inventor Muesburger.idcl. All three files are dated 2/8/2011.
Now, am I no longer able to query for ANY mold base or associated parts whatsoever!
How do I go about installing the complete set of Mold Bases and get Moldfow to make queries to all three Mold Base Libraries?
There doesn't appear to be any preloaded content in my Style library - how to populate this library?

Something strange happened recently where in order for my Right-Click Menu commands to work properly, and the double click ddedit to work, I had to take the "^C^C" out of the macro. All my related variables are set correctly, PICKFIRST, DBLCLKEDIT, etc...
What is happening is, I would get a selection set, right-click, copy with base point. Normally because the selection set is there, once a base point is selected, the command ends. In this case, after specifying the basepoint, I am asked to select objects again... This goes for ALL right click menu commands. Command line input is NOT affected.
I'm using ACAD (2011) most of the time in 3D. I like to work that way and it goes really fast!
Now, sometimes I want to flatten my 3D drawing and show my obscured lines and make them dashed afterwards. With the flatten command and explode it works fine... but... some lines just move! For example, a block with size 100,200,100 turns into a square with size 100.9 x 199.3, even if I use the command in 100% top view!
We had a brief powercut this morning, literally brief: it was less than a second. It was enough to turn off all our machines and since then my colleagues machine is acting in a weird manner.
It starts and opens LT2010 perfectly well but then selecting elements has no effect on the layer drop down. In properties it shows the element is one layer but the drop down shows another.
Double clicks no longer start the edit commands. Pressing delete key doesn't erase anything. I have checked in the CUI and all the key commands double clicks appear as normal.
We asked IT to repair the install, which they have done but nothing has changed. I did ask about going back to the restore point but the IT guy mumbled something technical I didn't understand then walked off to do the install repair.
previously i was using civil 3d 2010, now while i am using 2012. i want to create a grid of points with easting and northing. i have manually created a point but when i use array command it does not work properly. as u can see in this image.
i created point with proper values of easing and northing but after array easing northing values becomes just -19.
I wanted to use the program to design a robot for our school vex competition. Vex has provided cad files for all the parts. So, how i can import the seperate parts into one design. I can only open each part individually but cant find a way to combine them so can assemble the robot in one design.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulty figuring out how to get my detail callout block to work properly. What I would like the block to do is scale/stretch the circle so a larger area can be detailed. Linked to this function I would like the attributed tag with line to stay on the outside of the circle once it's adjusted.
Another function I can't figure out is rotating the the text/line so it can be located anywhere around the circle. I currently have a vertical and horizontal flip but the attributed text doesn't remain on top of the line. So, I guess there are 2 things I can't get to work in that one.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOkay, so it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I haven't done one on 2014 at all yet.
I've got a fairly simple part, it's about 6" long x 3" wide, less than 3/8" thick, without a whole lot of complex geometry to work with. I've built up my whole mold for it, and that went okay, but the fill analysis seems like it's taking forever. Like hours. It gets to the "Fill" stage, gets just a sliver of green on the progress bar, and then sits.
Last time I tried this was on my workstation at the office, using 2013. It didn't take nearly this long, and the part was much larger and far more complex, with a significantly slower computer.
Is something broken with this in 2014? I guess I can just let it run overnight, see what happens in the morning ...
