AutoCAD Inventor :: Removing / Rebuilding Revolved Fillet From Model
Aug 10, 2012
I have a model that has been made up from a revolved sketch and then had loads of bits done to it etc.. Basically it is a tapered ring with a fillet on the top edge, I need a top face dxf export for profiling and to do this I need to remove the radius on the edge, but because it is a revolved sketch and it is not filleted it is not so easy to do with other references involved.
Is there a way I can temporally rebuild the edge to remove the fillet, I tried in fusion but it won't allow a Zero fillet edge?
I can't upload the sketch to show you unfortunately.
I'm working in a large top level assembly and the following is happening
1. Assembly is happy with no broken constraints 2. Edit a constraint (in this case, to rotate a part based on an angular constraint with another part) 3. Error message pops up telling me dozens of constraints in subassemblies are broken 4. Click Accept, assembly does not visually update 5. Click "Rebuild All" button under manage tab 6. 3 minutes later the model is updated, everything is happy, model looks how it should.
This type of problem has been happening lots to different assemblies with difference constraint scenarios.
Looking for example macro that can create a new sketch, add a few lines and arcs, Then revolve the sketch around an axis to create a solid part. For example a shaft?
So I am trying to create a lampshade that has holes in it for leds along the wall thickness. This lampshade only needs to be a few inches, but I am having problems cutting holes inside the lampshade, and then revolving them to make multiple holes.
I'm really struggling with constraining a weldment assembly. I've attached a JPG of the Assembly but I cant get the constrains to go where I want them.
Basically this assembly is a wheel with three equally spaced stays welded to a large nut hub. I have constrained the center axis of the wheel to the center axis of the Nut so the wheel and nut will remain aligned.
What I'm struggling with is constraining the three stays to the wheel and to the nut equally spaced around the nut.
Is it possible to apply a tangent constraint to an edge of a cylinder at an angle to the revolved side of another cylinder? I wan't to avoid applying a specific angle constraint if at all possible.
I have 2 sheet metal parts, both have been revolved using an angle of 359.9deg so there is a small gap to weld. in the assembly I copied one as a surface onto the other part and I want to scuplt it at the intersection of the two.
The problem I've come to is that the small gap in the surface is preventing me from deleteing the upper part of the cut, how can I make the surface a whole so there is no gap in the cut?
I'm playing around with a part that I'd like to "decorate" with embossed features or perhaps even cut-outs. The actual part, before adornments, looks like a funnel. As sketched now, I'm revolving a spline and then creating a thickened solid feature. I suppose that the variable diameter and varying cross sectional radius of my part increases the level of complexity of this task over a part that looks more like a regular cylinder. I'm hoping to learn a tecnique that will work for revolved parts with highly irregular profiles - not just plain ole cylinders.
So, what I'd like to do is emboss (negative or positive) and/or thru-cut decorative geometric or vine/flower inspired patterns into the outside face of a funnel-like part. (Pic attached.) I'm picturing some sort of pattern that might repeat around the part. (The variable diameter probably really complicates matters here.) I haven't put much effort/experimentation into this yet - pretty much because I'm a loss about where to even start.
How do i make the 3mm fillet go in the other direction.When i apply the fillets to the top of the pipes it goes inwards but i want the fillet to go outwards.(like a weld - i don`t want to weld though just use a fillet).
Is there a way to create smooth transitions for fillet welds for around corners?I have to create four separate fillet welds on all sides of the mating pieces and it breaks at the corners.
What kind of fillet i need for relax the edges in a eccentric reducer pipes's fitting, i can use fillet of faces for the sircular edge smaller , but am in troubles with the bigger .
I opened a project that i had not been into for a month and for some reason the surface and labels will not rebuild automatically anymore. Surface is set to rebuild automatic and i've gone in and changed the regenauto from on to off to on again, also rebooted the computer with no luck. I have a combination of feature lines and points. If I edit the elevations along the feature line the contours do not rebuild and the label does not change either. If I hover over the elevation node in the feature line it will show the new elevation but the elevation label for that point does not reflect the change, neither do the contours. If it is a point and I change it with the panorama window, the elevation tag will change but the contours do not rebuild until I tell it to rebuild. Any slope labels going to that point do not update with it though.
I have a little issue with drawings where I cannot find out how to highlight fillet edges on the models. I dare say I am missing some simple setup option.
The picture attached shows what I mean. The left is how the model looks in drawing mode and on the right is how I would like it to look (taken from the modelling environment).
I have searched the discussion groep and have not came up with any usefull information.
I have an inside web plate sketch that i want to offset but my offset does only do one line at a time.
So my problem basicly is that I want it to do the whole sketch in one click. Is it possible to join all the lines? or is there another function that I do not know of that will do this for me.
Attached is photos of the problem I have
1 picture - How do I join these lines
2 picture - How the whole sketch looks
3 picture - The offset does only do one line at a time (i want it to do the whole sketch)
I'm currently modeling a propeller and i want to fillet the base of the blade to the hub but the way i have it will only let me fillet it towards the patched surface on top of the cylinder, what can I do?
I would also like to have the fillet be a large radii on the center and be small at the leading/trailing edges.I just tried posting it but the file I have available now is bigger than the limit and I cant compress it to 1.5 mb, while I get acces to the file on monday:
The blade is comprised of 2 lofted surfaces and patched surfaces to join them and make a closed loop, one of the patched surfaces ''hugs'' the cilinder outer surface (hub), when I try to fillet the it tries to smooth from the lofted surfaces to the patched surface, making the arc to the other side i want it to.
I have been asked to change some of the default weld settings within the weldment template, i.e. set groove weld to full face full face, set the fillet weld to 6x6. so that when we do a new weldment these things are already set, have hunted high and low on here, through google, autodesk knowledge base for inventor but havent found anything, not sure if havent put the right keywords in or that it just isnt possible to do.
I generate 3 points, two lines between point 1,2 and 2,3 and make a bend between the two lines. Cannot do it correctly.
On one side the fillet is not trimmed correctly. I think it is a bug in Inventor. Also when I have the sketch I manually cannot make a decent bend/fillet in the 3D sketch I created.
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 'add 3d sketchpoints in open partdoc Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument Dim oPartDef As PartComponentDefinition Dim oTG As TransientGeometry oTG = _invApp.TransientGeometry oPartDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument oPartDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition Dim oSketch As Sketch3D oSketch = oPartDef.Sketches3D.Add() Dim sp1(2) As SketchPoint3D Dim rod(1) As SketchLine3D sp1(0) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(0, 0, 10)) sp1(1) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(0, 0, 0)) sp1(2) = oSketch.SketchPoints3D.Add(oTG.CreatePoint(10, 0, 0)) rod(0) = oSketch.SketchLines3D().AddByTwoPoints(sp1(0).Geometry, sp1(1).Geometry) rod(1) = oSketch.SketchLines3D().AddByTwoPoints(sp1(1).Geometry, sp1(2).Geometry) 'bending it oSketch.SketchArcs3D.AddAsBend(rod(0), rod(1), 2.5) End Sub
The resulting part-file is added, for who wants to try to get a bend with both sides trimmed correctly.
I need to fillet part on an edge on the top face of the enclosed part, is this possible? I have tried a few things but the fillet command always selects all the edges on the face to fillet.
once selected it says in the selection box that 15 edges are selected, and I can't ctrl click to remove any of them singly, basically it will deselect them all? I have made sure I have loop select off.
i am learning publishing parts to content centre so as to use for frame generator.Success so far except i cannot work out how to change Fillet sizes with the Family Table.As i increase the sizes of beams i want to also control the fillet size within the Family table.Where do i add the fillet parameter?
I need to show fillet welds between the bar and the curved surface. There is a small gap there (3/8" bar against 2 3/4" O.D. tube) and IV and neither groove or fillet weld works. How to show the weld?
I am looking for a way to add a welding symbol to an existing fillet weld. When I am creating a fillet weld, I get a chance to create a welding symbol based on the fillet weld size.
If this is not done when the weld is created, there is no way to add this notation. I don't have the "Create Welding Symbol" checkbox when editing an existing weld. The only solution is to delete the weld and recreate it.
I am trying to link the welds in the iam with the weld notes in the idw.
Is there any way to place a full round or bullnose feature on the end of a cylinder without having to use any formulas or pay attention to dimensions similar to the three face selection of the full round fillet option?
Obviously you can take the diameter/2, but the three face selection of the full round fillet is quite simple, and if you didn't originally plan on having the full round it takes extra digging to come up with the right parameter to use.
I am building a Crankshaft. How to build the connecting weights that attach the main journals to the connecting rod journals. I can post a screenshot of the design. I have a extruded face that is a half circle on the top.so I am trying to fillet or cut a section off of the rounded edge. I have tried to build tangent workplanes and projecting geomety, but to no avail.
My company has an access database that has all of our service data on it. I am currently considering rebuilding the database because it is a database with one table and a million fields. I want to split the database up into separate tables with relationships. All of these tables would be linked based on the same key field Service_ID.
Now here is the hard part. The data would be in a one to many relationship with one record for service info and multiple records per service for pipe info. The data is currently linked to objects in AutoCAD Map 3d 2014 based on the Service_ID key field and a "service" link template.
If i rebuild this database, am I going to lose all of my links? or will i retain the links? Also, is there a way to automatically generate links based on the service_ID field? For instance there are 3 records of pipe information for 1 service. Previously all of these records would be in the same table, but now the tables are split. Since they have the same Service_ID as the Service information, will the links show up?
