I am trying to retrieve dimensions from an assembly. The features that I want were created in the assembly itself, not on the original parts in the assembly. I can manually dimension some of the features, but there are others that I need to retrieve. When I retrieve dimensions from the assembly, I am only given the original dimensions for the parts.
View 7 RepliesI 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
Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.
How do I get the 1/4" to show? I have selected the feature and still get these results.
Is it possible in VBA to automatically generate dimensions on a particular view?
Some told me that retrieve dimensions tool will be applicable. Looking for sample code for retrieve dimensions?
In Inventor 2010 is it possible to retrieve the dimensions from the weld in an idw without rewriting this dimensions?Now when hitting weldings in idw the symbol stays empty.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI typically have a part file with bunch of sketch blocks as die drawings.I use those for rest of my workflow.
If I want to make drawings of these sections.
Is there a way by which I can retieve all dimensions from the sketch of the sketch blocks (die) on to a drawing.
I know that I can get model sketches but I do not know a way to get the model sketch dimensions.

I always use assembly models in these drawing and all the parameters have unique names. So in my drawing i want to retrieve some specific dimensions in a view.
I am using Inventor 2012. I have a subassembly that has two parts. I was able to dimension each part by retrieving dimensions. This subassembly also is an iAssembly. The main part stays the same but the second part changes.
My problem is, I had to make the main part an iPart because in one of the subassemblies, the main part has an added feature. After making the main part an iPart, all my dimensions in the subassembly drawing turned pink. I removed the dimensions and tried to retrieve them again but now I cannot. There are many dimensions I cannot manually dimension.
Is there away to retrieve dimensions from an iPart in a subassembly?
I have tried to use the command retrieve dimensions for an iPart and iAssembly but no dimensions will appear
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2011. I have recently just dimensioned my entire drawing using only the retrieve command, but now that the angles of my section views have changed the command is not working. In this example you can see section B will allow me to pull up dimensions (not sure why they are not aligned) but section A will not allow to me to pull anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you add feature control frames, datums etc to hole notes and dimensions with leaders? Seems to work fine with linear dimensions by dropping them in, but for the life of me I can't make it work with anything that uses a leader. Either the arrow on the contgrol frame shows up, which I don't want, or it places the control frame right on top of the dimension.

I add the correct dimensions then when I update my model, all dimensions on the drawing disappear and I have to make them all again.
A little more info:
I am using the tube and pipe feature to drawing tubing inside of an assembly.
Process:
1) I draw the tubing routes and populate them (to show an actual swept tube)
2)Right click on the newly created route in the explorer and open the tube.
3)File->new->drw.
4)Add necessary dimensions to the tube drawing.
5)Save and close drawing
Up until this point everything is fine.
6)Edit the tube route in the assembly and save
7)Upon opening the drawing of that tube route ALL dimensions have disappeared.
I just want to notice the Autodesk guys that when editing a hole feature in an assembly, then the sketch is hidden so that is not possible to pick more centerpoints. I noticed this when working with a sheet metal part, I don't know if its the same with a regular part.

Is there a way in Inventor to take an assembly feature and basically have it fall out at the part level also? So if you were to open the part up, it would have the cutouts in it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the Level of Detail function to add a hole feature in a sub assembly that will be used in 2 places inside the main assembly, but the sub assembly is present in many other location and does not need this hole. My thought is to have the master level of detail depict the hole feature and have another level of detail with this hole suppressed.I can't get the two levels of detail to save the desired outcome. When I switch LODs, the hole feature will not suppress or unsuppress as desired. Is this possible or am I doing something wrong.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to link a hole feature in a part in an assembly with the number of a particular feature in another part within the assembly. I have a base plate part with a coutersunk hole feature that I want to pattern by linking it to the number of bosses in another part within the same assembly.

When we want to send one part, or assembly all over the world, we need those dimension. I think, it is something that inventor already have it but not in an easy way like a phisical propertie that you can include in your BOM. Is this something for autodesk to implement?
Recently when I have placed a view of an assembly into an idw drawing, then try to dimension distances between parts it gives me strange looking dimensions, or no dimensions at all. It looks as though the dimensions are going from the edges of each part at different angles, when I want them to be parallel to the view. I just want the dimension from a line to a line in that view as though it is 2d, but it is acting like it is still in 3d. I do not know if their is a setting that will change this or not.
I attached a screen shot of what the dimensions look like.
can't get the COG of a single part inside an assembly using the default feature of iLogic:
centerPt=iProperties.CenterOfGravityOfComponent("part1:1")
Wikihelp states that it's possible to get the COG of a part within an assembly.It doesn't seem to work anytime getting an error on some missing included references .do I need a Sub-Rule inside the single part?
I have a automated ilogic model that is then used within a 2D drawing, this 2D drawing then has dimensions on it referenced to the the model.
This model changes in its length the dimension associated with its length then changes but the dimension text then goes outside of the dimension boundary (does not stay central). Is there any code that can scan the dimensions and in effect tidy them up?
I need converting imperial dimensions into metric in assembly as weell as part level sketches dimensions.
Any solution for converting all imperial dimensions to metric dimensions in whole assembly constraint level and as well as part level sketch dimensions. Any macros or any ilogic rules?
I have reason stumbled across the offset assembly functionality of corridors, and for the most part, I have been quite impressed. One thing that has come up that is odd to me that when I create a surface from the corridor using feature lines, the feature lines that are created by the offset assembly are not added to the corridor surface, even though they are visible and can be selected. When I create the corridor using links, everything is fine and the surface looks great. I can work using the links, but the more curious part of my nature is a bit tortured not knowing why this is happening.
On a related note, any strong preferences/reasons for using links vs. feature lines, or vice versa?

is there a way to lock the dimensions to aligned dimensions...or a key i could hold while dimensioning that would do that..
i have to dimensions a drawing where theres a lot of aligned dimensions to put and to do it manualy each time takes forever...

In the past we filled in our changes, we did on the part, in the iProperties of the IDW. In the IDW we use some Custom iProperties for this. That's not usefull because you want this data in the 3D-model. Now I have written some code to automate this, which works really great. This code works in the IPT as well as the IDW. But what I want to achieve is: When my IPT is the active document, I want to read out the iProperties from the IDW to check if there is already filled some of these properties, because I have to deal with 'old' documents as well.
So my basis question is: How can I read out iProperties from an IDW into the IPT. I have found lots of solutions which go the opposite direction, IPT -> IDW. I want IDW -> IPT.
