My model is up in the top right of the planes. I cannot figure out why my origin planes are oversized like this. I have went through the browser and checked all the parts to see if something is out there, nothing. I have set auto-resize on origin planes and yet these are large.

see attached image. The Origin Work Planes of my assembly, and some of the origin work planes in sub-assemblies have lost their names. No longer can I see XY Plane / XZ Plane / YZ Plane - all I see is a little red dot when I hover over where the name used to be. ??

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are just in the process of upgrading to Inventor 2013. While migrating our iParts, the origin work planes from the part part suddenly appear in some of the children. In the browser they show up under the iPart parent entry and will have names such as "YZ Plane_1". The visibility of all of the origin work features in the parent are turned off. In the children I can right click on these work planes but there is no option to turn off their visibility. And of course I can't even turn off general categories of object visibility in the children because that function is greyed out.
Is this behavior normal/new in IV 2013? Is there anyway I can turn off these origin planes in the iPart children?
Is there a way using ilogic,that when you select/highlight a part within an assembly and run the code that it will turn on the Origin planes only and also turn turn them off ?

I selected Sketch,
expanded origin,
selected mywork plan (xy)
drew rectangle,
input dims,
right click for marking menu,
selected dimensions,
Origin is yellow,
cannot select it and then edge of rect to set dim that will center sketch on origin? Just like the videos show, but cannot select origin>
All of a sudden, things in my inventor sketches are approximately double normal size - the UCS symbol, dimensions, constraint symbols. The UCS icon stays oversize regardless of the environment.
I went into Application Options, Sketch tab, and changed the Constraint and DOF symbol scale but it has no effect in the sketch environment. It's not confined to a single part or assembly and I have not, to my knowledge, changed any Windows or other Inventor setting.
I feel like I've stumbled into the Readers Digest Large Print edition of Inventor. How to control the size of these things?
I have 2 problems:
1. created a turbine whose blades are made from some planes that I applied thicken offset command. I applied circular pattern to multiply the blade around center point but i get too many planes and i must to make invisible each one. How can i make invisible all planes in the same time.
2. After i make them invisibile i exit from that part but when i start that part again or when i place it in an assembly all planes are visible. What should i do to make them invisible for ever.
I just installed inventor. When I begin a part there is no display of the planes, only the corner indicators show up when I hover over a plane. Also, when a part is created, only the edges show up when I hover over them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn a part file is it possible to find the adaptive workplanes used to create extrusion1. And then find if the two workplanes are at an angle with respect to the origin planes.
Have been looking for a while but it seems hard to find information on workplanes
I've created Custom properties, parameters, to get the outside measure of the parts and it works fine until we create and leave activated a work plane outside the part so it measures not until the end of the part but until the plane.

i have assembly and i want make drawing of part of it. Part of assembly i want to show/draw is between two parallel planes. How can i do this?

is there a way to auto project datum planes that are square to the sketch?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to insert a part that would be grounded or flush constrained on one or two planes only (automatically) and not all three? For example; you'd insert the part and you'd pick the two planes that you want to be flush constrained but the 3rd plane you'd constrain yourself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a solid using VB and loft definition.
I creat each time different planes that have a constant distance in x dimension and a steady rotation each time φ (deg).
On each each plane i sketch the same profile and that is happened for 360 deg.
The problem is that Loft is not made because a line of the profile must follow a line tragectory and all other points must follow a circular tragectory. Also, there is a problem from 180 deg to 360 because there is intersection of profiles.
The result must be a solid similar to snail shell but all the same solid, as a cylindar whith a half sphere in the bottom.
In my assembly I've set up angle constraints between 2 Plane's of 2 parts (min: 40 deg max: 160 deg). If I move the parts slowly the angle constraints holds but if I swing it hard sometimes it flips and gets out of the angle constraint.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found after my last save, the Datum Planes of the assembly have just lengthened in two directions monstrously for no reason. I checked to see if it was an unassebled straggler but cant find anything. Is there a way of knowing why it does this.
Check attached image, the dot is a machine 20 metres high and the datum plane seems to reach the nearest neighbourhood for some reason.
Ive started at a company where all of their parts and assemblies have all of the work planes, axis and points visible. Im getting bored of going view, object visibility, turn off all work features everytime i open a new model. Anything written that will turn off these features and only turn them back on when requested.
basically im looking for a shortcut, rather than opening every part and assembly and doing it manually.
The problem I'm having, or what's annoying, is reappearing (visible) Work Planes. I have a number of parts in my assembly that I make invisible and visible on a regular basis and I find that when I make a part visible, the Work Planes of that part also become visible. It's very annoying and time consuming having to turn off the Work Planes when there's no need for them to be visible.
Is there a way to either make all Work Planes invisible or to permenantly make Work Planes invisible unless you specifically make them visible.
Any time I create a new sketch in my assemblies, all of a sudden every existing work plane toggles from "invisible" to "visible".
In small assemblies, this is fine, but in 100+ part assemblies, it is a major headache. I don't want to turn off work planes every time I make a new sketch.
Is there any way to disable this "feature"?
I'm trying to re assign XYZ planes after the drawing is complete. I understand changing the view cube etc, but I need to change the sketch itself to match the view cube to set up machining on our CNC and minimize material waste.

How to create a measurement between two planes using ilogic rules?
I have created the planes on the asssmbly parts but dont know how to directly pick them.
The measurement is going to be used as reference dimension.
In previous versions, as clunky as it was, I used to put a work plane in the centre of a frame generator part using "G_L/2"
This does not seem to work anymore in 2013.

I need to downscale whole assembly if its possible. If not, its no problem for me to downscale every single part separately (apx. 30pcs) and then put it together again but I need to downscale it with all its modeling history - sketches, planes and other geometry. I can't select them when using DERIVE function.

I'd like to have a menu option next to "Grounded" which is "Grounded to origin", to save setting three flush constraints every time I pull a part into an assembly and want it to have the same origin as the assembly. This is something I do quite a lot using the multibody part > derived part > assembly workflow. Apart from saving time it would save cluttering up the model browser. In the meantime is there a scripting method of doing this with one click? IV2013
