AutoCAD Inventor :: Pattern Of Bolts Free To Rotate About Hole
Sep 6, 2010
I have noticed that when I place a group of bolts in to a group of existing holes the pattern of bolts seem to be free to rotate about the hole selected when creating the bolt pattern.
I am using Inventor studio 2011 with windows 7

Looking for some sample code for patterning a hole in a part using Inventor 2010. I dont need it to be selected because it is the only hole i have in the part. My main trouble is that I am having trouble withobjectcollection idea. As you can guess I am a newbie at Inventors API.

I have a cone shaped part and would like to put a hole in the curved face. I would like have to hole square to the face in the flat pattern so it can be cut on the plasma table, is there a way to do this? I attached the part with holes in the approximate location.

I have a part with a parametric pattern in the sketch. When the part gets longer, more holes centers are added to the sketch. However, Inventor does not automatically recognize and select the additional hole centers so the holes do not appear on the part.
If you are wondering why I don't just pattern the hole feature rather than pattern the center marks on the sketch it is because the part is a multi-body solid. The pattern feature does not allow you to select multiple solids. Since these holes need to go through 6 solids, I would rather create one sketch pattern and one hole feature than 6 feature patterns. (By the way, this is a major shortcoming to the mirror and pattern features in Inventor).
How can I set Inventor's hole feature to automatically select all centers (even new ones)?

We have several chain guards which we punch from sheet metal. Â We recently changed our practice to punch a hole pattern in the part rather than weld in a mesh screen - saves shop assembly/fab time. Â See the attached 2 parts.
My question: Is there an automated way of delelecting all holes within X" of the part edge. Currently we have to go through one by one and it takes a lot of time. how to model this part more efficiently. Â As you can see, the designer of the new part got lazy and did a rectangular pattern. Â The goal would be to have a consistent margin around the full perimeter of the part more like the first.

I've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing. I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types. I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style. (Please see the attached image.)
So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table? Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it..... But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.

I am trying to add a hole to an existing hole chart. I drop the part into a new drawing, set the ordinate "zero", and add a hole chart by selecting a few holes. When I attempt to edit the chart: click chart, right click "edit", click add hole, select new holes, right click to create, the "create" selection is greyed out and all I have to choose from is cancel. I searched the forum here but could not find a reference to this a know issue. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch of 2013.Â
We are running win7 x64 machines and this happens on both the 2013 Ultimate and Premium editions of the product.

I have had this problem intermittently for a few weeks since going to Inventor 2013 SP1.1. I have a part within an assembly and that part has holes created in it before assembling it with other parts. Now when I try and create a hole table in a drawing of the assembly I cannot select hole edges and the hole table is blank when trying to create it automatically from view selection. I originally thought it may be an alignment issue but I have since aligned everything correctly and it still persists. I can create the hole table if I import in just the part into the drawing but it will not allow me to create the table on the whole assembly.Â
I can also create the hole table if I use "centred pattern" and create cross hairs on all of the holes however it does not give me correct annotations for the holes as shown in attachment and I can manually change the annotations but seriously this should not be required. As shown in the screen shot it reads as A1 down to K1 instead of A1 to A10. .

Question: Is it possible to control the Hole Dimensions called out on the Hole Chart? As in controling leading/trailing zeros for main hole dim, alt home dim and tolerances? Can you combine the Main Dim with the Alt dim in a single column, separated with parentheses? (same with tolerance?)

I`m going to make some different size bolts,nuts and washers and instead of creating each from scratch or from content center can i use either parameters,excel spreadsheet or ilogic to save me some time.Now i have never used any of the above features so am asking for some assistance and guidance in which would be the best way to do these tasks.
I make a sample bolt with Inventor 2012 version.Would this be easy to use any of the above mentioned to simply just change sizes and update the part and features to the new size?

I have modeled up a nut and bolt.
1. Have i matched the thread size correctly.I made the bolt thread the same size as the nut thread size
2. I see these in the Content centre but if i want to make my own nuts & bolts with various sizes.I can then just select the required sizes
3. How do you name your nuts & bolts.

I would like to use the hole command to place a hole in a part. When I place the hole it won't allow me to use one of the origin planes to locate the hole from. Can I only locate holes off edges?

I have an assembly that contains a part and a hole feature (the hole feature is at the assembly level). Using the api, I'm trying to get the hole location relative to the part's coordinate system in a without using the holeplacementdefinition.distance property, this way I can get the hole location regardless of the way it was defined.

Bolted connection, clevis pin and bearing are all not working for me. I can go through the steps of selecting the start plane and then the circular reference and the termination point. That is all successful but the bolt doesn't appear, whether I use a clevis pin or a bearing, I get the same result.
Working with sheet metal or FrameMaker all work fine. My content center shows all the bolts, clevis pins and bearings. The content center seems to be working fine. I'm using inventor 2011.

We just upgraded from Inventor 2012 to 2014. When placing nuts and bolts in an assembly in 2012, you were able to select a hole and it would automatically size the bolt to the correct diameter. You could also select if you wanted it to fill in all holes of that size, on a face, with the bolt or you could just place one component.
I do not remember if it is just a setting that allows it that i can't find or if it is a bug and the drop function is not working properly, is there anything special that i need to do?

Myself and my coworkers have noticed that some times bolted connections will be missing a bolt. The bolt in question will appear again if you edit the bolted connection and hit ok and let it rebuild. But then another bolt in a different bolted connection will disappear. I just went back and forth between updating two sets of bolted connections and each time I updated one a bolt in the other disappeared. It's almost like there is a limit to how many bolts the assembly will show at once. The assemblies in question don't always have large numbers of bolts and other hardware though.
I'm running Inventor 2013 SP2 running Nvidia Driver Release 276.42 [8.17.12.7642], which is the last recommended driver. I've also run newer/older drives with no difference.

In the image below, I need the C channel that the bolts are going through to section but not the nuts and bolts. In application options I have "Section standard parts" set to "Obey browser settings". In the part "document settings" I have the "participate in assembly and drawing sections" option checked, but the C channel will not section and when I right click on it in the drawing browser, the "Section participation" options are greyed out.Â

I have a vertical stripe pattern and I have to put it on each glass drawing that I have (8 total). I've four countersunk holes on each unit so I need to trim the glass perimeter and larger hole from the stripe pattern (which is 1/4 inch solid hatch fill with 1/2 inch clear space). How can I make this faster?

I have a small problem: I have several images which I need to import / combine with an hole pattern. Then I just need the outlines of the holes (each color) for laser cutting. Doing by hand and coloring each dot is difficult, how to make this in some few steps ?

Some times we use standard parts which we could not find in content center. We creat part ourselves. But it looks like standard part in BOM or part explorer window...
I want to change type of part to PURCHASED type and icon like other purchased parts like bearings or bolts...
Is this possible?...
It can be also assembly parts like bearings. Bearings have many parts but it looks only one part in part explorer. This is very good. I want same thing too...
