AutoCAD Inventor :: Piping - Isometric Dimensions To Elbows

Sep 7, 2013

I need a way to add isometric dimensions from the elbow below? 

This is how standard piping isometric drawings are done, no need for a front view, top view, etc.

Just all dimensions on one isometric view.

I am creating piping drawings for a Power Station and want to dimension from the intersection of the centrelines of all the elbows on the pipe run (just like dimension 300 and 1282 in the picture below).

I've been able to add dim 300 & 1282 by using "Include Route Centerlines" BUT if there's piping created without a piping route this cannot be done.

I don't understand why I cannot get dimension A & B from the standard work features displayed on the elbow or dimension between two elbows just using these work features?

AutoCad :: Isometric Piping Drawings

May 14, 2013

When I start an Iso drawing should I use the 3D Views under the View tab and set it to SW Isometric or should I use the Snap/Style/Isometric way? I like using the 3D views, but it doesnt set the drawing up the same. What is the accepted procedure.

AutoCad 3D :: Dimensions To Vertical In The Isometric

Jul 23, 2012

I'm working on a project where I've modeled obstacles for an obstacle course on a military installation and I'm having some issues with isometric views and adding dimensions at various UCS orientations.

Basically, each obstacle has a plan view and an isometric to depict height of some of the material above ground level and below.

I've tried re-orienting the UCS to accomodate the dimensions and it works to a degree but there has to be an easier way.

When I select the points for my dimension, I'm prompted...

Specify dimension line location or
[Mtext/Text/Angle/Horizontal/Vertical/Rotated]:

I need the dimensions to be vertical in the isometric. I've been messing with it and I was able to eventually get it right but is there an easier way?

Whenever the dimension is drawn in model space the dimenion ends up far from where it needs to be. I always have to relocate it and re-select where I want the dimension lines to be.

Also, is there some kind of add-on that might make 3D dimensions easier?

Also, I have a thin solid representing the ground level so that everything below ground level results in a hidden line (due to the visual style I'm using) in the isometric drawings.

This works out great but any dimensions below ground level end up hidden. I don't think there is any way around this though with the style I have in use.

I've gone with simple callouts specifying overall material heights to avoid these issues in the meantime.

AutoCad :: When To Add Dimensions To 3D Object In Isometric (or Similar) View

May 26, 2011

When I add dimensions to an 3d object in an isometric (or similar) view, the dimension lines get placed way off screen, and the leader lines are projected onto the x-y plane.

Additionally, when I try to add lines to an object that is far from the x-y plane, the mouse position responds to the line's location as if it were drawing on the x-y plane.

Do I have to continually make custom UCS coordinates just to draw in 3d without hassle? There are other times when this does not happen (perhaps only when my 3d object is very near the x-y plane...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Drawing Of Piping With BOM

Oct 4, 2012

I was giving an assembly with a lot of piping in it, but the piping wasn't done using the Tube & Pipe. I need to make a drawing of the piping with a BOM. I made an ISO view and turn off the visibility of the parts I didn't need. 

My question is if there is way for the BOM to only show the visible parts in my drawings. I know in iAssemblies I can exclude the parts I don't need, but that would take awhile considering there are over a hundred parts in my assembly. I really don't want to redo the piping mainly because of my inexperience with Tube & Pipe.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Pipe Branch Off In Piping Run Without Tee Fitting

Feb 28, 2013

I'm trying to make a piping run that at one point branches off in another direction. Basically I want to have one straight pipe, a main line, where another pipe branches off and sticks out vertically from it and goes its own way. However, I want this branching pipe to be welded to the main line, not connected with a tee fitting. Inventor won't let me create branches from within a route, and it doesn't seem to want to let me snap to the existing main line run if I create a new run for the branching pipe.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Piping Route Will Not Update When Change Dimension

My piping route will not update when I change a dimension when editing the route itself.  See below.  I can change a dimension, the 3D sketch of the route will update, but the pipe will not move into the correct position.  Doing multiple rebuilds and updates does not update the piping.

I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.

I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole

How do I get the 1/4" to show?  I have selected the feature and still get these results.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Size On Isometric Views?

Jun 25, 2013

I have an assembly that I would like to show dimensions on an isometric view. I am able to create the dimension, no problem. Issue I'm having is that when placed on  a standard lettersize page, the dimensions are too hard to read. I've tried editing the size by double clicking the dimension & editing the font. It doesn't seem to make a difference what font size I enter, the size remains the same. How can I change the text size on isometric dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Isometric Pipe Spool Drawings

May 25, 2010

I have been asked by one of my clients to provide an isometric piping diagram for a product that we have modeled/developed for them. We have already provided models, review drawings, design drawings, and fabrication drawings for this product but what they are looking for is a simple isometric pipe diagram where they can hand write their weld test data and put the material data sheet number references. I have submitted a sample of a drawing we completed with an isometric view of this piping as a full view (iso view created by IV) but they are requesting something simpler like they are used to (one-line iso pipe spool-type thing with symbols instead of modeled valves, etc.). I am embarking on a process to get them to change their standard but I was wondering what you experts thought while I am doing this (in case they refuse).

I don't want to create drawing that isn't tied to the model somehow for obvious future-revisions-parametric reasons so I was wondering what you think my options would be for keeping this all in IV (instead of just doing something seperate in AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculating Tube Length (not Tube And Piping)?

Mar 16, 2013

I have a question about calculating the maximum tube length. Why do i ask this, because you can just measure it on drawing?

I'm building a parametric model for building simple storage tanks, and the goal is to get a complete BOM out of the model without any difficulties.

I have 4 possibilities of tube positioning on the tank. (see image)

1. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank.

2. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle

3. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank.

4. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle

These 4 possibilities can be flush with the inside of the tank or not.

Is there a easy way to determinate the longest point from the front of the tube? This longest measurement will be the length i need to get into my description for the BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Pass Break From Sectioned View To Separate Isometric View

Jun 27, 2012

I started with a Left side view of a part and created a sectioned view right down the middle so you can see the insides from another view. the part is pretty big so i used a Break to shorten it to fit the page. I also placed a smaller and separate isometric view of the same part and want this view to inherit the same break. How can I do this? If I go into the display options of the iso view, all the cut inheritance options are grayed out and can't be clicked. I've seen this done before, but i'm sure i missed a step somewhere.
