I'm creating a small simple mould tool where my customer wants to machine the core and cavity directly into the die set itself (no physical inserts). I've created the core and cavity and placed a die set around them. I know that you can combine inserts, but can you conbine the inserts to the die set?
View 1 Repliesi've attached my model - basically I want to remove the fish shaped component from a solid block so it can be mirrored and CNC milled from an aluminium block to make a prototype fishing lure (Ignore the undercut on the tail).
I've looked at the online videos but the steps taken don't work on my model. I made the lure as a whole and split it in 2 - is this the problem?

I’m suing the Mould Design feature of Inventor Professional and need to have four cavities for this mould. When I try to use the pattern function nothing happens. I look at the Wiki help and it says that I have to enter values for X direction X distance etc, but this dialogue box does not appear.
How can I get the box to appear?
I am using inventor 2012 but i am not using Vault, I try to understand how to combine or merge many projects together. I got a retraction system that is one project with his own content center, then i got a hood that is another project with his own content center.
Since im going to create many different retraction system and many different hood in the future, to be used in many different combinations. I want to be able to create a master project that includes smaller projects so i can still work all the projects independently.
I have a model with solid bodies. I have used the combine feature to make cuts outs in some plates. The geometry is complex to model so Extrude cannot be used for cuts.
The body used for the combine can be at different angles and sizes. Due to this some of the combine features will not be needed or have no effect. This leads to the error message:
" The feature as specified did not change the number of faces (and may not have affected the part). Accept the feature that resulted, or use Edit Sketch or Edit Feature to change the feature definition." Is there anyway to suppress this feature automatically using i Logic?
I've managed to get my wheels to rotate, but how can I get them to turn in the same direction as the box when it starts to move sidewise? ? I tried to create an angle with the origin of Part 1(Assembly 2:2) and the "golv", but it interfeared with other constraints.

Just wondering, if I have several seperate idw files and I want to combine them into one master file, is this possible? Would be handy to have all my drawing on one file instead of the 30 or so seperate ones it will become.

I have created some curved straightening vanes to go inside a large square duct 90 degree elbow. Each vane starts with a 6" long straight section the its follows a fixed radius through 90 degrees. When I "unfold" the part the resulting face becomes two separate faces. When i right click to export as dxf i can only export one face or the other. How can I combine this into a single face to export?
View 4 Replies View Relatedim using XXP5, i have an irregular polygon or shape which is the space between a curved shapes outline. within this irregular shape, I want to mould the textso it is stretched / destretched to fill the space yet still be readable.
i have tried to convert the text to shapes and then adjust the nodes, but i dont get any nodes making up each letter(!) the mould tool itself doesnt seem to work. the process first involves stretching the font and rotating it to roughly fit it as close as possible.

All images are jpegs; I've checked and am doing exact same process on either side. Tried killing the images in bitmap gallery and re-importing - makes no difference.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:
(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.
(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.

I am currently looking into the API for Inventor 2012 in order to try and automate a few processes that we do within our comapany.
What I am trying to do is access the functionality that the "Insert Frame" or Frame Generator function brings to Inventor by using the API. The basic functionality that I am looking for is to be able to draw a steel beam from Inventors library by using the API, similar to the way the "Insert Frame" command handles it. Is this possible? I have looked into the API documentation but cannot find anything.

I want to add our company logos to a few drawings. I added a small thumbnail to the title block a while ago. In the sketch tab, Insert, Image, I can drop in bmp's.

I'm trying to place some pictures (.jpeg, bitmap, whatever) onto an inventor drawing but it won't let me. I see when you create a sketch in a drawing there is an "image" option in the insert tab, however this option is always grayed out for me no matter what I try.
The way I insert pictures on a drawing now is just to create a part, put the image as a decal on that part and create a view in a drawing with a shaded view. However with this option the lighting shows up and kills the image quality and it seems too complicated to be the correct way.
