Inventor has the ability to store multiple configurations of a part within the same .ipt File without having to resave the file as a new file. Something like in AutoCAD where you have Model Space and Paper Space within the same drawing.

1. Part first is a cylinder in parametric table i changed it,s name OD , ID and thk. ( find attachment )
Cylinder ID is ( ID=105)
2. Then i made 2 nd part whose step od ( od=102) is going to insert in to cylinder id.There is 3 mm clerance every time
3. So i have to make equction in 2 nd part that ( Step OD= ( ID-3).
means next time when i will change ID of cylinder OD of 2 nd part will ger changed automatically minus by 3 mm than id of cylinder.
Dear Sir, In particular project, when I insert part in Assembly file, It is inserted as a Tube & Pipe run part. so that It is not Grounded automatically. What is the settings by which I can insert as a normal part in assembly file ? I have attached herewith the JPG file also.

Part created in assembly does not update to part file.
The simple question is… how can we insert a step (stp) part into an existing part file?
The story behind the question is this:
Normally when we get a step file assembly from a customer, if the part has changed, we put our part into Old Versions and save their new step file as our ipt number and replace it in our assembly file. With Vault, in order for us to maintain the history of the part files, we need to keep the original file so we can’t just delete it or replace it, so now we need to figure out how to get a step file into an ipt. The Import command on the Manage tab (with 2013 at least?) does not allow import of stp files just yet.
The only other option I can think of is to put the original part into an assembly with the step file, create a copy of the step information in the part file and use it to recreate the new (step based) part.

I started out with a single 3 dimensional piece i had made using sketches, and split it into two using the split feature under the modify tab. Now I would like to take each of those two pieces and copy them into their own individual part files. I could do this by remaking them, but was wondering if I could simply copy and paste them into separate files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn a part, I create a sketch, add annotation Type in the file name. Then create an Emboss feature using this sketch.
How can I add the file name property to the text. I want the the emboss to update to new file name if I rename the file.
When I rename a part, the iproperties field under project>part number does not change. If there is a drawing for the part, the part number in the drawing reflects the old part number.
Can I tell inventor to rename the part automatically to the file name as seen in windows explorer? Can I set it to rename automatically in the tree in an assembly environment?
I'm using Inventor 2013.
I name my files with our part numbers and the revision number. Our part numbers are 6 to 9 digits long and sometimes start with a zero! My iLogic rule, while simple, drops the first zero if its there. See the "FirstNumbers" below: (I tried to add the CStr(), but now I see that it just changes it to text after it drops the zero!)
ThisFile = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extensionFirstNumbers = CStr(Val(ThisFile)) 'sets the first numbers from the file name to textPartNumber = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") 'reads part number from file
'check to see if the part number is the same as the file name's numbersIf String.Compare(FirstNumbers, PartNumber, True) = 0 Then'do nothingElse
'set the Part Number to the file name's numbersiProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = FirstNumbers
'let's me know that something has been doneMessageBox.Show("Part Number has been set to " & FirstNumbers, "Part Number from File Name")End If
I have an assembly of pallet racking, it is one complete frame which can be modified in all the desired ways by the ilogic i have in place. I wish to be able to put this frame into a new assembly but have different dimensions for each frame. I used to do this by copying all the files to a new folder so that each frame had its own parts. This has stopped working and now once one frame is altered all the other frames change to rather than having there own dimensions.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to identify the location of a part in an assembly file?
I cannot access (or find access to) global locations, just local. You may ask, whats the problem? Well, right now, I have 10 subAssemblies and they are all "located" at (0,0,0), which means I have 10 solids sharing the exact same space. This problem can be easily fixed if I can compare the Global Origin to a Local Origin, but I can only find the "work axes origin" which is worthless to me.
Is it possible to update an existing drawing to reference a new part or assembly file while maintaining associated views and possibly the annotation also?
I have tasks which require frequent subtle changes to assemblies. These assemblies will then be given a completely new file name, so it is no longer just a revision change but a new part altogether.
Is it possible to pull out the x,y,z coordinates to text file from a inventor part. I am aware about this that it maybe need some programming but what kind of programming Language is the best to use ? is it possible to use the build in programming Language called Ilogic? Or is it better to use some .net? At my work we use PDMS to do plant modelling and we want to use inventor for modelling the machines and doing the workshop drawings ect. And we want to be able to take the inventor part coordinates and transfer them to PDMS because it can model the machines just by coordinates taken from a text fil.

Length and Width.
If I delete these properties its fine and the properties are removed.
However if I then save the file, the properties become available again.
I've got a view of a presentation in a drawing and one of the parts which is in a sub assembly.
I've checked the visibility in the presentation and the drawing and the assembly but all say visible.
Restarted the computer, but still no change.
see below a pic of the drawing, I've drawn in a red rectangle where the part should roughly be.

I have a part file "PLY-AY-134-A MAKE COMPONENT.ipt" that I created multiple "Solid Bodies" in and I used the "Make Components" command to create the individual part files and and assembly "PLY-AY-134-A.iam". I decided to add a few "Solid Bodies" to my original part file "PLY-AY-134-A MAKE COMPONENT.ipt". Is there a way to add these to the original "Make Components" command to add it to the allready created .iam file, "PLY-AY-134-A.iam"?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought I'd be efficient & use one assembly with a couple View Reps to represent two variations of our product. But I ran into a problem editing two part lists on an IDW file. Most of the parts are identical.
I have two part lists on an IDW for the same asy & each part list is filtered for one of two View Reps - works great!But I discovered when I edit the item number order in one part list to harmonize with the other, the other one gets re-ordered also & no longer harmonizes with the first one.

why I have a part file that is almost 12MB in size yet it contains absolutely no features? I would attach the part but it's too big to upload.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering is there is a way to select an Inventor part file and see which assembly file or files that is is currently used in ? It would be extremely useful to be able to see a list of all the assembly files which are using one particular part so when modifying the part you would know which assemblies would change.

I received a stp.file from a vendor and need to add shrink to the file. How do edit the file? Also, once the shrink is added I need to be able to make a split mold out of the part. How would I go about do that? I should be able to make a block; then cut the part out of the block. Is that correct?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 2 solid bodies in a part file driven by seperate ifeatures.
Why is it when i search down to the surface bodies then into say the first body, then component definition, then features, then i features it shows both ifeatures?
So it goes:
componentdefintion.surfacebodies.item(1).componentdefinition.features.ifeatures
Is there an area somewhere that only shows the 1 ifeature related to a solid?
My goal is to open have people go into a central assembly file, type in their specific parameters and the various part files update within the assembly. I wish to do this without the need for an excel sheet, but when I try to link the parameters from the assembly file to the part files, it will not allow me to insert these parts. I get an error about an "assembly can not be placed into itself."
Iparts will not work as this has an infinite amount of sizes.
I have finished all my parts and now i have to assemble them. I normally just use the constrain tools, but this time i need to set a part in mid air. I would like to use the move tool, but with exact xyz coordinates. I only seem to be able to do that with an UCS (coordinate system), not the part itself. I guess it's just a button i'm missing somewhere.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any method to sort sketch blocks in a part file? All of our sketch blocks are numbered with a profile number. When we create a new multi-body assembly we will often derive 50-100 of them into the master file. It would be great if we could sort them by profile number.
The next best solution would be the ability to create sub-folders to place them in by type (sort of like assembly folders), but I'm pretty sure this isn't possible.
