I'm using Inventor 2014.
I created a Punch Tool iFeature, everything seemed fine, I could save it without problems.
However, when I try to place it in a part with the Punch Tool, it says "The file has 0 volume changing features. To be a valid punch tool, the .ide file must contain at least 1 sketch-based feature."
why the Punch i created causes the following?
1. The punch will not work with part 1.I have 4 points for the Punch on part-1
2. When attempting to get the 4 punch holes on to the flat sheet it causes inventor to shutdown.I have done 4 attempts to fit the punch into the flat sheet (part-1) and 4 times it has shutdown Inventor
I am beginner in inventor, and I have to create punch and put them in library so it can be used later.

[URL].....
how to
a) build the iFeature correctly and
b) how to then extract it so that the orientation is not FUBAR when you insert it using the punch tool.
Attached are the dimensions I need. This shape when revolved about the centreline should produce a 'dimple' effect in the sheet metal part.
I've a problem in Inv 2011 SP2 and 2012 SP1 with 2D Sketch Punch Representation.
See attached file for the explanation of the problem or this Link to animated problem.
I am trying to make a punch tool in inventor for sheet metal. I noticed that for the features I could not select faces or flanges I did. I know you can extrude the same shape to get the same result but I wanted to use a face/flange so that I can retain the flat development. What is the best way around this.
To get a sense of what I am trying to make:
-square cut out
-on the bottom edge of the square I made a face that is angled at 45 degrees
It would be closest to a louver tool.
My company is trying to put some automation together to pull design attributes of parts and assemblies to drive routing creation in the shop.
The issue that we have run into is that for certain ifeatures, we need to gain access to the name (or punch ID) of an ifeature (primarily punch tools). Pulling the name of the feature that the tool created is relatively easy, but because you are able to change the name of the feature as it appears in the model browser, it isn't the most reliable way to get that information.
We are looking for a way to figure out what the name of the ifeature used to create the feature without referencing the resulting feature's name in the model tree.
I've included an example, and I'm looking for the name of the tool which should be "Ob_750X562".
I am trying to create a sheet metal punch tool, however, I must have something incorrect because the extract iFeature does not seem to be working.
I've attached a copy of the file I'm currently working on.
I've been having this issue happen repeatedly, but not consistently. In a new file, I adjust the width of an mtext box so that the text wraps into multiple lines. When I next open the file, all mtext boxes are back at a wider width so that the text is all on one line. The start of the text is also usually in a different location. This was happening on 2011/XP and now on 2012/Windows7.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using inventor 2013 and creating the drawing for a part or assy. and saving it to autocad 2000. after i open the saven .dwg fine in autocad 2000 of customised .dwg viewer (EDMS internal customised vault kind of software), i see some of the features of annotations and even mechanical features added has question mark (as the images attached).
Thing is what i am doing is and we have a BOB.shx file for the font. (which inventor is not supporting) and we could not bring this inside inventor. Inventor supports only .ttf font types.
So how way possible we can use inventor drawing inside autocad 2000 by save a copy as option. or you have any patch type support.We are loosing lot of time in this as a productivity loss.
I am trying to convert punch .ipt 2013 version file into a Sheet Metal Punch iFeature...For an unknown reason to me i cannot get it to work...Have a look at the file and see why i cannot convert to a Sheet Metal Punch iFeature ?
The Punch will then go onto the Sheet Metal Plate
Sheet Metal Parts > Punch Holes (Contintued).
I picked the ADSK-METRIC-120 to change the hole size from 25 to 120, but the new hole size ADSK-METRIC-120 is RED color and I cannot refresh or finish it. why size 25 worked, but not the 120?

I want to know if is possible to create a troquel punch as iFeature for just bend, not cut o drilled, for example, to create a squared punch for to make a bending in a sheet metal,

I would like to be able to move different tool order around under the selection window. IE: Freehand tool - I would like the three point curve tool to appear right under the freehand tool rather than on the bottom. This would be a time saver for me - how do I accomplish this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been given the task of figuring out a way to have etching placed on our parts to show the part number of the part. The end goal is to get the parts laser cut but have the part number etched into the part.Is there a way to convert text (i.e. 12345) to a sketched symbol that the punch feature would recognize and then add it to the library? Right now we are using 2012 but will be upgraded to 2014 within the next 6 months.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm with a problem here, that when i try to change a material from a frame member, i got the error below:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred while attempting to change frame member(s).
[WARNING] Problems occurred during changing Frame Member(s)
[ERROR] A change could not be completed. The reason for the failure is unknown. Please retry.
The structure that i'm trying to change, was created in IV 2012 SP1, and now I'm editing it in IV 2013.
All the pieces of this project were converted to the new version, and the only big difference from 2012 in this case i think that is the materials library, that I created a new one and set on project as default.
The strange, is that if I enter frame by frame and go to iProperties>Physicals, there i can change the material normally (but with a big wate of time ofc).
I'm having some trouble touching up a damaged photo. I have color corrected first then cleaned up with neat image. Everything looks fine until I try to clean up the spots with the clone tool. It's desaturating the photo leaving white spots.
I think it may have something to do with the layer placement so I drag the most recent to the top leaving the color adjustments below and I'm not having any luck. I've even merged the layers thinking that would help:O
Am I making color and noise corrections before I should be?

I have a part that we will cut out on a CNC plasma machine that will undergo a drilling operation. We create all the parts that will be cut on the plasma in the sheet metal environment because of the simple flat pattern export. Our plasma machine has the ability to scribe lines and also create center punch marks. It distinguishes between cut lines, scribe lines, and center punch marks by layer name. I need a way to get the center points of the drill locations into their own layer.

Every time I open up GIMP, I have to reposition the Tool Options menu that's all the way to the left so that I can see the menu options at the top (File, Edit, etc.), and I also have to move around the Layers menu as per my own preference.
Is there a way to pin them to a specific spot in GIMP and save them there so that every time I open GIMP they're in the same position as where I left them at?

Why this double selection, and what does the first selection do, if the part is actually sketched on the plane i selected in the second time.
