Our company is planning to buy new workstations Dell Precision T1700 [URL] and we have question about compatibility with Inventor 2009: Will there be issues with drivers or directx etc. that don´t match with Inventor 2009 ?
View 5 RepliesTry starting Autocad LT 2009 and get Error Message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application."
It was recommended to uninstall and reinstall the software ... the software will not uninstall ... get the following message:"The following problems were encountered which prevented AutoCAD LT 2009 from updating successfully:? - Error opening installation log file, Verify that the specified log file location exists and that you can writte to it"
After shelling out a pretty penny for Inventor 2012, my boss set me up with a less-than-adequate off-the-shelf PC. I don't need faster visualizations as I'm not dealing with super complex assemblies, maybe 100-200 parts. I also don't care about ray-tracing while modeling. My problem is it took 24 hours to render a 65 second animation (about 1000 frames).
my boss is going to allow me to build a new, more inventor optimized workstation. I am using studio to do fairly complex animations. Fades, camera changes, constraint animations, all rendered with higher quality. I need a computer that will render quickly, and possibly higher quality if available.
I don't fully understand the whole "Direct X vs OpenGL" stuff. What should I spend my money on, knowing that rendering, not modeling is where I need improvement. I am thinking AMD system to save $$. Also, what to look for, fast bus, cache, etc. Just remember, I need faster RENDERING in STUDIO ANIMATIONS.
My client wants to buy Inventor 2013 and want to installed MDT 2009. How to install MDT 2009 of inventor 2013? He has a large data base of MDT. If he can not be installed MTD2009 he will not buy inventor 2013.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust thought I would post this since I didn't see it anywhere else. With Inventor 2009, the views in IDW are automatically set to associative which causes the visibility option for parts/assemblies to be grayed out.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy ctrl key has stopped working in Inventor.
It works fine in other programs.
Also when I hit F7 in a sketch Inventor does not show the section of the part to my sketch plane.
Also, my memory bar indicator does not work, it just stays all grey.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI´ve started at a school which is using autodesk inventor 2010, but on my computer I have autodesk inventor 2012, and I can´t find the way to open the homework I do at home on the school computers.
It is supossed that my inventor 2012 saves the files in 2010 format as I can read on the settings, but when I open it on the 2010 in shows me an error message about that it´s not possible open this file. Also I´ve tried to save as 2007 format, but it can´t open it.
I am looking for any example to create an addin compatible between versions of inventor and also compatible win between 32 and 64bit.
Today I know create all separate. Thereby generating 4 different files.
Example:
Addin2013_32x.dll
Addin2013_64x.dll
Addin2014_32x.dll
Addin2014_64x.dll
What is the risk Migrating Inventor 2009 files to Inventor 2012?
Do i have to migrate the Inventor 2009 files to 2010 and up to 2012?
Using Inventor 2009. For some reason (all of a sudden) it will not open a step file. When I go to search for the file I would always use the file drop down an there would be a lengthy list of options. For some reason now it will only list the basic native formats... part, assembly etc. How I can get these back?

Now I have some problems when I run the rule which I created in 2009 (32 bit).
First one is:I created a rule which is suppressed. I need run it when I save files. The problem is: after I moved to 2013, and when I puch SAVE button, my rule cannot be run.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a service pack in the pipeline that will allow Inventor 2013 to run on Windows 8.1? It was working fine on 8 but crashes on the loading screen now Ive upgraded to 8.1. Upgrading to 2014 is not an option for me as my professor uses 2013 software and he will not be able to open 2014 files.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIm trying to do an assignment with Autodesk Inventor. We use Autodesk Inventor pro 2012. For some unknown reason EVERY time i download inventor 2012 pro the installation fails due to a corrupt file. So i thought (In desperation) i would downlaod the 2013 version and see if it would install. Lucky enough it all installed correctly. So i continue with my work on the 2013 edition, and when i go to save it it tells me, that i will not be able to use this file on previous versions. (Which i need to do). Is there by any chance a way to save files, that are compatible with older versins (Like in Word) ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe currently use a Gestetner 3227 B/W printer as a system printer and have experienced consistent print problems while plotting CAD drawings. We now have the opportunity to try to avoid print problems with a new printer.
We currently have Autodesk Inventor 2011 software (but only use the Mechanical Desktop feature for 2D & 3D), a Widows XP operating system and print to 8-1/2 x 11 and 11x17 papers only.
1) Does Autodesk have a list of recommended or compatible "Printers" that I can be directed to?
2) Is there a specific question, feature or requirement that the office manager should ask about the printer to assure compatibility?
So far, when asked if the printers are Autocad compatible, the vendors claim that their printers "should be compatible" or that they need further details about the autodesk product without being able to specify the type of details they require.
I'm running into a file conversion issue at work. I use Inventor 2008 and i need to have my assembly miodels analyzed by stress engineering via Pro/E Wildfire.
I've tried converting the assembly file to .iges and .step. However, the assemblies are jumbled in the conversion. All the parts are there, but the constraints are not. In the past, the assemblies have been small enough that the stress engineer was able to reassemble the parts in Pro/E. This current project, however, is much to large to do so.
If I were to purchase Inventor 2013, could I save the files with the Pro/E native file extensions directly?
My students draw all of the individual parts of a product as ipt files. Next they create an assembly using those ipt files on a iam template. Next they generate a multiview assembly drawing on a idw template from the iam file. On the idw multiview assembly random visible lines disappear and we are not able to get them back. Students are turning of the visiblity of some of the hidden lines on the idw assembly but not all hidden lines.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine the moment of inertia of an L-section using IV 2009. By selecting Tools>Region Properties of a closed loop profile in the sketch environment the moment of inertia is given, however the principal axes through the centroid are at 45 degrees to the toe of the angle (see attached image). I want Ixx and Iyy where the X and Y axes are parallel to the horizontal and vertical toe respectively.
Coincidentally, AutoCAD orientates the principal axes the same when viewing the Region Mass Properties of a similar Region.
After installing Inventor 2009, you may find that other software on your machine now has connection issues such as Apache Web Server, Skype or other servers/programs that are configured to use port 80.
This is because Data Management Server 2009 is configured to connect to that port every time you reboot your computer. If you go to your Windows start bar, select 'Run' and type in services.msc, you will see a list of services. Scroll down to 'Autodesk EDM Server', its' Status' should be labelled 'Started' and its 'Startup Type' should be 'Automatic', which means that this service is started when you turn on your machine, thus connecting to port 80 automatically.
You could change the 'Startup Type' to 'Manual', so that any of your other servers/progams that need to connect to port 80 will function properly, but that would limit the ability for Inventor 2009 and other programs that are configured to use port 80 to run simultaneously. You would also have to manually start this service every time that you require to use Inventor 2009 and the Vault.
If you don't mind EDM Server to hang onto port 80, but you're having connection problems with Skype, then change over to another port for Skype. Open up Skype, goto Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection. If the checkbox is selected for 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections', then uncheck it and restart Skype.
So, how do you configure EDM Server to connect to another port? There are four configuration files that need to be changed, so the default of port 80 is not used.
1. C:Program FilesAutodeskData Management Server 2009ADMS ConsoleConnectivity.ADMSConsole.exe.Config
Change port value to 8081:
<connectivity.vaultmanager>
<webServer>
<add key="SSL" value="0" />
<add key="PORT" value="8081" />
</webServer>
</connectivity.vaultmanager>
2. C:Program FilesAutodeskData Management Server 2009ServerDispatchConnectivity.WindowsService.JobDispatch.exe.config
Add port number 8081: <add key="Server" value="127.0.0.1:8081" />
3. C:Program FilesAutodeskData Management Server 2009ServerWebServicesWeb.config
Change port value to 8081:
<connectivity.web>
<server port="8081" sslRequired="false" />
</connectivity.web>
4. C:Program FilesAutodeskData Management Server 2009ServerWebserverConnectivity.EDMWS.Server.exe.config
Change port value to 8081: <webserver runMode="service" port="8081" useHttpSys="auto">
You will have to restart 'Autodesk EDM Server' in services for changes to apply.This should eliminate your connection issues. Why Autodesk has decided to use 80 as the default port number without an easy way to change this through the console is just silly in my opinion.
Inventor 2009 creates XLS file when saving assembly drawing (IDW file).Why? How to get rid of that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOnes every three years we have an upgrade of Inventor. In a few months we have an upgrade from Inventor Proffessionel 2009 to Inventor Prof. 2012. Since we often use special materials in our design process we also create/add the new material in the material database. So here's the question; is it possible to copy the material database (special mades) from Inv Pro 2009 to Inv Pro 2012? It would save us a lot of work!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a sheet metal part with multi-edge flanges; the part unfolded no problem. Now, I need an exact, mirrored copy of that part [new part number]. My first attempt was a mirrored component at the assembly level. The part was mirrored but it would not unfold. My next attempt was a derived part with the mirrored option selected. This part, too, was mirrored but would not unfold either.
"In sheet metal parts, mirroring flanges or contour flanges created using multi-edge select is not supported." Is this why the flat pattern fails?
Is there a workaround? I'd hate to create the mirrored part from scratch when I all need is reverse bends.
My boss just came in and wants to get a new workstation with Windows 7 64bit on it. We are, however, out of copies of AutoCAD 2007 to install but have many 2006 copies. Will 2006 run under Win7? If so, how reliably? Or should I suggest getting 2012?

There is never an AutoCAD error message or opportunity to report the issue to Autodesk.
