AutoCAD Inventor :: Presenting Bends On More Than One Drawing
Apr 17, 2013
With a part that has 6 bends to be made… is it possible to present only 5 bends on one drawing, and the last one on another drawing??
For example:
I have 6 bends to make on “Backliner-01.ipt” and this is what I have to present:
A first drawing, showing 5 of the bends. On my second drawing, hardware is installed. On the third drawing, showing that the last assembly has to be bent. On the last drawing, a final assembly… that has to show all of the parts (not only the assembly's).

I have seen a discussion about counting bends code, any illuminated code maker to do the same but with up and down count?

I have attached a pic of what I am trying to accomplish.
The part was done in SW, but I am now needing to do it in Inventor.
I have a flat plate, 12" square, that I am needing to bend the 2 corners up, with 10 1/2" between bend lines.
I tried using the "BEND PART", but I can only select one line. What should I use so I can bend all four sides up?

I couldn't find where this was covered, but I create a dxf from my .ipt files for the machines to cut from. When I RMB on the flat pattern, in the browser, the dxf is created with the bends down. I am needing to do this with the bends up, so when the laser operator stacks the parts cut, the flat will be in the proper position for the brake operator. Is there anyway to have my dxf created where the bends are facing up?

Doing a bend on diamond plate. I have applied a texture map to the side of the plate that has the diamond pattern. When the pattern gets in the corners (inside or outside), the texture map shifts. When it does this, the diamond pattern does not look the way the real part will. Below is an image of what I am seeing.

What is the name of a value that might hold the total number of bends in a part?
Or at least how those feature are managed?
Simply put, I'd like to pull the total number of bends into a parameter so it can be exported later.

I am having trouble with a part that I wont to convert to sheetmetal and make a drawing with bend annotations.
Converting the part goes fine but the flat pattern is only a "semi-flat-pattern" 2 of the 4 bends doesn't unfold.
I have a 8mm plate and the internal radius is 2mm and the external radius is 10mm and the bend angel is 10 degrees sow everything should be fine.
But how to add the last to bends to make my flat pattern unfold correctly?

Is there any VBA code that can count the number of bends used in a sheet metal part?I would like to make a custom property of this, so it can be exported to Excel for input in our ERP system

I try to make double bends with the face command and i don't succed, the options in the More are are greyed out.
I don't understand at all what they are, i tried with 2 edges at an angle but no.

Let me start by saying that we rarely use sheet metal parts so I'm not real familiar with that interface. That said, I can create sheet metal parts with square shapes and bends just fine. However, I'm currently stumped as to the best way to model what should be a pretty simple plate.
We have a large, thin (1/8") square plate to which we want to add 2 opposing diagonal very slight breaks to add stiffness to the plate. More specifically, we want these diagonal bends to cover the center part of the plate leaving about a 2" flat flange all the way around the plate.

I'm currently using Autocad 2012 to design a land layout consisting of contour lines, roads, a restaurant, 2 parking lots, 4 little shops, a common area, and a walking path. The thing is, for the class I need to present my ideas in a better fashion than just looking at a 2D schematic from Autocad. I'm looking for the best program to use to easily construct walls for the shops, have car models in the parking lots, make the grass green, etc, and be able to almost create an animation walking through the site.

Got a question: Before I installed 11.0.1 my Bridge icon would turn to a colored icon when I hovered over it. Now, after the update it simply goes white when I hover over it - as do all the other icons. It seems that there might be a setting for this? Where did I go wrong? I have a Nvidia 7800 card which was updated months ago. As a last ditch effort I updated the latest driver today (4-2-07). (6.14.11.8250)
Reinstalling PS CS4 (11.0) would be a giant pain and eat up a lot of my time. Any suggestions?

I have a need to edit the channels independently (the values in my image mean things numerically rather than just what it looks like visually - so I need to edit the grayscale values in each of the R - G - B - and A channels seperately).
I've searched through google and other forum posts and others bring up the concept of not understanding alpha versus transparency - but I have yet to see an explanation that fully explains what I'm experiencing.The closest was [URL]... But while I saw the exact same symptoms being described, the specific question was never really answered.
While, I'm specifically working with an RGBA image, below is a screenshot of a PNG that demonstrates the exact same behavior or symptom. The screenshot below represents the PNG inside GIMP and PS CS4. BTW, if you'd like to see or play with the image yourself, you can grab the same image at [URL]...
GIMP, interestingly enough loads the PNG as expected - I see the transparency of the image treated as a true alpha channel.In PS CS4 however, the transparency seems to be somehow embedded in the Red - Green - and Blue channels; but NO seperate alpha channel.
I can create the alpha channel through Select - Load Selection - Layer 0 Transparency - and pasting that into a newly created alpha channel - but the color channels still have the transparency mixture symptom - rather than showing the JUST the color component of that channel. (Note the channel differences of the GIMP's Red Channel versus PS's Red Channel - Said in another way, the yellow ball in the upper left of the image should have a red value of 255, so the Red Channels grayscale upper left ball should be white like it is in GIMP, rather than Gray as it is in PS).
I haven't found quite the right explanation. As best as I have gleened "Alpha", which can be applied to any kind of channel, typically is in reference to transparency - and is applied as a document-whole transparency (as opposed to transparencies applied at a layer level - such as a layer mask).

I'm modeling a hydro scheme access track about 4m wide that meanders down a steep hillside at 1:8 with a couple of hairpin bends where the gradient is 1:20, what is the best way to model this?I have got polylines to define the hairpin and also offset alignments but I need to ensure that the outside edge of the hairpin at entry is used as a level target for the inside edge on exit for the length of the hairpin.

I am trying to model a force main with several vertical and horizontal bends. Getting the network set up and drawing in the pipe segments with the styles is a sinch, what I am having trouble with is modelling the horiz and vert bends to show up both in plan and profile view. I have done many sany and storm profiles but this is a first time with a force main. Does Civil 3d have the capability of modelling these or is this more of an MEP type task?

I have a little project in mind (I don't really want to say what it is) that requires very neat linework. I have to say that in terms of linework I am superb with straights. I can even do parallel straights!
What I really need though are smooth 90 degree bends and not just for one line, multiple parallel lines.
What is the secret of getting perfect, precise bends? I can do bends but I fiddle for ages to get them to look right. What really interests me is to take a series of parallel lines and bend them as one.

So I have set up stretch on my bones and when I stretch it this happens to the skin.
This is how it looks normally:
What is the most efficient way to do sharp bends on the knees and elbows, He said he used a kneecap joint which rotates around 50% of the knee joint itself using an expression. And with sharp bends on the knees and elbows I mean this.
And then another thing I can't figure out is the foot setup
Here:
Look at how the foot is touching the ground I can't figure out the skinning. this was his bone set up and I did the same thing.

I have created a linetype with the text GAS OPTION in it. The line is continuous with a break around the text. In a straight line the linetype works fine (breaks around the text etc). However, when I use a polyline and spline the line for a curved line the text aligns with the direction of the line at the start, but when the line bends, the text suddenly changes direction and reads in the opposite direction. It looks like AutoCAD is trying to keep the text upright rather than following the direction of the line. When the text changes direction it also changes its insertion point and overlaps the continuous part of the line. I have 2013 AutoCAD.
Here is the string I used for the linetype.
*GAS_Option_LINE,Gas line ----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----
A,8,-15,["GAS OPTION",STANDARD,S=2.54,U=0.0,X=-2.35,Y=-1.27],-12

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.

I would like to know if there is a way to insert drawing no.1 into drawing no.2 (not copy sheets!) so that if I change the drawing no.1, the drawing no.2 (the one that contains no.1) also updates.
That is because I would like to have one part of the drawing that is ''standard'' and multiple drawings that contain this part (so that this part is defined in all drawings but is always the same). Because I don't want to have a separate drawing for the ''standard'' part, but only drawings that contain it.

I am using Inventor Pro 2010.I have a model and I am driving the dimensions from EXCEL. The model updates nicely when I change dimensions but the drawing (idw) does nothing. In the browser instead of the usual tree in the view there is this red lightning bolt and under them is a big plus (+) sign and the words Solid.... after it.I was assuming that the lightning bolt meant something needed updating, but I can't find how this is done.
