AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Move 2D Sketch Vertically?
Sep 5, 2013Is it possible to move a 2D sketch vertically? I have a sketch on the XY plane, but I'd like to move it up to another entity.
I can see how to do it in 2D (in the XY) plane, but not along the X axis.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Move 3D Sketch To New Location
Apr 23, 2013Can I pick a 3D sketch and move the whole thing closer to 0,0,0 ? It is currently sitting around 5km,10km,2km from zero.
This makes everything very chunky, and very difficult to visualize anything correctly.
This was generated from a site survey, which was work in progress, it has now all been finalised, but I don't want to loose a weeks work by starting again. (Using AutoCAD to move the points to Zero)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Move Or Rotate Copied Sketch
Jun 14, 2011I would like to reuse the existing sketch on the other part. Usually I did it without problems. But now after I have pasted the existing sketch I cannot move or rotate it. While moving or rotating Inventor usually prompts for braking some constraints for this action. But nevertheless it does not allow me to move or rotate. It says something about "constraint settings for sketch edit tools" -- cannot get any hint of that in a whole phrase nor in part [URL] what else Inventor wants so I can reuse my sketches??

Sep 20, 2013It goes f.e. like this:
I draw a line (no constrains) and I can move it by grabing an end or whole line by click&hold mouse button, great.
But after couple minutes of work with part and sketches I can't grab anything. Even on new created sketches and new lines. Click and drag just open rectangle selection. Oh, between these phases there is a phase when 2nd click&hold works...
When I open/create another part it is normall, but this one I must close and open again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed
Sep 21, 2011I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Part Sketch Into Drawing Sketch
Sep 20, 2012How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?
I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations. Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.
I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist. I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.
I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way. I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option. I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Sketch Point Data From Sketch Entity
Dec 3, 2013I was trying to query some sketch points data from a profile Path using code as below. However the program stopped without telling the reason.
Code below:

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting 3D Sketch To 2D Sketch From IGS File Using Wires?
Aug 1, 2011First we imported an ".igs" file to inventor, which produced "wires". Then by promoting the wires it produced a 3-d sketch.
The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.
The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Align More Than 2 Objects Horizontally / Vertically
Feb 2, 2014Is there a way to align more than 2 objects either horizontally or vertically? I've used the ALIGN command and I can't get it to work. I get a message that says something like: "all 3 destination points are colinear".
I can get it to work if I'm just aligning two objects.
For instance, say you have four boxes, scattered around model space, and you want to align the left edge of three of them to the left edge of the fourth box, without moving them vertically. In other words, can you "left justify" all four boxes?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Print 2D Sketch
Nov 29, 2003I need to print an initial 2d sketch (without any 3d work done on it).
Printing this in sketch mode seems to output a screen capture, i.e. some lines appear wriggly and not as precise as an ordinary plot of an idw or dwg file.
A sketch w/o any 3d work will not be accepted as an idw file, thus I am not able to use all the formatting (tblocks, fonts, dimstyles, etc.) options available to idw files.
Is there a way of printing a 2d sketch (w/o any 3d work) as an idw file?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Using VBA To Constrain A Sketch
Jun 26, 2012I've managed to hack together some code to draw a rectangle and dimension it. Now I want to constrain it to the origin. I figure either using two dimensions from a top/side to the origin and setting the dimension as half of the other respective dimension would work. Or constraining the center point of a top/side line to be vertical/horizontal to the origin.
The problem I'm having is I do not know how to reference the origin. So until I figure out how to reference the origin point I can't use either method.
