AutoCAD Inventor :: Length In Routed Systems
Mar 28, 2013In an attempt to change the unit display on a CC item (from decimal inches to fractional), I came across what, to me, is an issue. In the CC I set the length on a pipe conduit part to a custom column, with the range at .001 - 240 inches. I modified my filename column so it was a string that included the length value at the end. (ie Spool x length).
If I place from CC, as custom, a piece of this conduit, the filename does exactly what I expected. If I specify 24 in the length box in the CC dialog, my filename comes in as "spool x 24"... (or to that effect, I'm paraphrasing). If I do the same thing within the context of a pipe run in that same assembly... the filename, even though I chose place from CC, as custom, and specified a length, comes in as "spool x .001". Every time. And also, any spool pieces generated as a result of populating a route. I expect the filename there to be different as tube & pipe has it's own rules for naming spools... but the description field still generates as "spool x .001".
So, it would appear that the column parameters set in the CC, do not apply at all in Routed Systems? I may have to put this in the idea station... wish I had found it last year, now I'll have to wait another year for apotential fix.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Routed Systems Styles Disappeared
Jan 10, 2014We are on 2014 professional and have been using routed systems for over a year now. One of our guys ran two routes over the course of a couple weeks with no problem. He went to create a new route yesterday and all of the styles are gone (both default and custom). If he goes into the two previously created the style that is used is there, but any other styles are not. What could have changed? I tried deleting the job project and creating it again to verify all the paths. Seems like everyone else's machines are running routed systems fine so I don't think it's a network issue.

Apr 23, 2013Is there a way to get a part number on pipes created by the routing tool? It seems that if it's default or custom data, the data gets blanked out on the generated files.
I'm trying to get this to work for a client who uses 2011, and from what I can tell this is still an issue in 2013.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Default Sketch Coordinate Systems?
Jan 30, 2012Is there a way to set Inventor so that the sketch origin defaults to the part origin? I find it very frustrating that it always defaults to some random corner of the part's body. It can screw up a part if you decide later on to modify the part such that you eliminate the point to which a coordinate system was defined. Also, when copying and pasting a sketch to new work planes it can be a pain to figure out which point is the origin of the orignal sketch if the pasted sketch is misaligned.
I know you can edit the coordinate system after a sketch is created, but I'd prefer not to have to rememember to do that with every sketch.
This was brought up about 6 years ago and there was no formal resolution

AutoCAD Inventor :: Planetary / Cyclical Gear Systems
Apr 19, 2013I'm trying to create a few sets of planetary gears and I'm running up against a wall here.
Both sets, for simplicity, need 1:4 ratios which makes the planet and sun gears the same size. I was using 20 teeth for the planets/sun and 60 teeth for the ring which based on my understanding of the ratios, should work. My problem arises when I attempt to get all of these gears(sun, four planets, and the ring) to mesh and rotate.
I can't figure out how to make sets of more than two gears using the Spur Gear tool. When I make the other gears on their own and add them to the system, they don't inherently mesh and pass through each other. Obviously I'm missing something here because I clearly need more than a two gear system.
As a side question, is there a method(Derived Parts, maybe?) through which I can add to a gear made with the Spur Gear tool to create a new part that will still function as a proper gear?
Lightroom :: Photo Routed Back To LR For Further Editing
Jul 5, 2013I'm a bit confused about the round trip process. If LR is non-destructive, what happens when a virtual copy photo is sent to Photoshop? I notice that Photoshop seems to be working on the original photo.
How then is photo routed back to LR for further editing? Does LR track editis made in PS?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Multiple Coordinate Systems At Once
Jul 14, 2012I'm finding myself on more and more sites that use multiple coordinate systems and height datums.
We have 3 on this job. One is the MGA zone 50 GDA94, another is just an offset of this and the third is a strange local grid with offsets and rotations.
We have Excel spreadsheets that can convert between the systems, but that requires several extra steps per point.
Is it possible to define each coordinate system in one drawing so that I could select which system I wanted to use, input the points and then select the main coordinate system so it converts the coordinates directly? It would mean less steps and I would have greater confidence in this system.
We have the parameters for all systems.
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Multiple Coordinate Systems / Units?
Jul 17, 2012I'm enlisted in the United States Air Force and am working with the Navy for topo surveys. I'm bringing my information into AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 and using the coordinate system UTM84-4N. I can't figure out why when I bring in my survey .dwg, all of the points are in the middle of the ocean.
I've tried to manually project the coordinate systems onto each file and reference them. I've changed units to meters. I've copied with base point 0,0 and pasted as the same. I've even opened a fresh file, gave that a projection, imported the drawing from "Map Explorer" and queried "ALL" and redrew the file and still nothing. I've checked the Geo-Markers and they're obviously off. Is there a way to match them and have it scaled properly?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing In Coordinate Systems
Nov 6, 2012If I set up my Civil 3D drawing in some known coordinate system, e.g. State Plane, in the "drawing settings", can I then toggle my drawing into other known systems, e.g. UTM, by changing the coordinate system under "drawing settings"?
If not, how are the coordinate settings used?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data And Different Coordinate Systems
Aug 1, 2012I have a problem with different coordinate systems. I have a drawing in old Finnish coordinate system (KKJ, kaista 4) and I have a point file, which is made in ETRS-GK29 coordinate system. When I try to transfer the points to the drawing, the points will land way off from the drawing or I get this error message "Coordinate transformation from ETRF89.FinlandGK-29 to FINL-KKJ4 failed for point located at {29511662.554000,6948599.365000}. This usually indicates the point falls outside the boundaries of the destination coordinate system". I have checked and the point {29511662.554000,6948599.365000} should be over the drawing.

Jul 9, 2012My Civil 3D 2012 coordinate systems normally displayed on the units and zone tab of the drawing settings have disappeared. On existing drawings the coordinate system code is still displayed. On new drawings the code appears as a symbol - a period or a comma or something. I can enter the coordinate system code and the program recognizes it.
My Civil 3D 2011 coordinate systems display as expected.

Apr 1, 2010I have some UTM images that I need to convert to State Plane. If I import them into map with raster design and export them to the state plane coordinate system, they work just fine, but I can't figure out a way to get rid of the black wedge that it makes along the edges of images.
If I query them in using map I can transform the coordinate system, but then every time I open the drawing it takes like 5 minutes just to open.
What has everyone else done to use multiple images in a drawing and transform or convert the coordinate system of the images?
AutoCAD Map 3D :: How To Create Multiple Unique Coordinate Systems
May 17, 2011A - Autodesk will fix them in a timely fashion during this release - Not holding my breath here
B - Others won't spend hours trying to figure it out.
In my case, I need to create multiple unique coordinate systems called Low Distortion Projections (Google it for explanation.)
Here are the problems identified so far with the 2012 version of the Coordinate Library
Coordinate System Categories
1 - The regional 'containers' that hold coordinate systems definitions. You cannot create an empty container. It requires at least 1 coordinate system definition to be created. When creating a container put an arbitrary coordinate system definition in. This assists with item 2b.
Coordinate System Definitions
2a - Getting started - There is no provision to just select an existing datum or ellipsoid. One must 'create' a new definition that may vary in name only. The vast majority of us using their products will not actually create new ellipsoids or datums just utilizing them as the basis for other projections.
2b - Creating definition - Continuing the definition process the definition needs to be placed in a coordinate system category. Due to the problems identified in item 1 this creates a circular error. The workaround being item 1 rather than creating multiple definitions in the wrong container then going back to fix them.
2c - Scale Reduction - This should be renamed to Scale Factor to fit with the rest of the known world as the value can be greater or less than unity (1.000000) In my case the values all happen to be something greater than 1. While on this subject, the autodesk programmers set this to do something totally unexpected. No matter what you set the value to, if you save and reedit the projection value will be displayed as '1'
2d - Missing Projection definition form data - I went through the projection definitions and found the following projection types were missing their fields in the form:
Oblique Mercator
Ordanance Survey National Grid Transformation 1997
Ordanance Survey National Grid Transformation OSTN02
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Map Wspace Coordinate Systems Missing

I go to my old XP pro 32 bit computer and the whole list of coordinate systems comes up.

Oct 3, 2013I have a FrameGen BOM setup as desired and added the column for Mass/lbmass to get the weight. However on those rows where there are multiples of the Item QTY (2 of this, 3 of that) the Mass shows just the weight of one item rather than the combined weight...which is what I want. I tried making a custom property call WEIGHT and entering an expression, but in that selection I do have mass but not Item QTY as a selection.
