AutoCAD Inventor :: Scissor Jack Assembly Design 3

Mar 26, 2012

I am working on a design at the moment using Inventor 2012.It is a Scissor Jack. It has been designed to specific dimensions.Although I am making up the majority of them as I go along.Dim's spec's of which I must design to are as follows,

Max Height @ Open position = 250mm. (must be kept)
Min Height @ Closed position = 70mm. (must be kept)
Max width = 75mm. (must be kept)

The rest I have been taking from other designs of which I saw during my investigation.I have been modelling in such a way trying to adapt the open & closed position limitations with the use of constraints as my maximum & minimum limits. In doing so I have set a Drive Constraint so I can show the jack in its mechanical motion. I don't mind making any changes that will work to achieve completing it to act as it should. I believe there is still some tweaking to be done to it, but I feel the actual engineering design to be almost sound. There is an issue with the base via support arms. I cannot have the support arms moving past the floor level.

I will need to place location pins through the saddle & base connecting the arms. Finally If possible alter the gear teeth so that they interlink & coincide with each other. My screw rod also needs to work properly & turn also the nut needs to be localised in the correct position fixed on the screw rod at the end of the Side sleeve.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drive Constraint (See Scissor Jack In Motion)

Feb 24, 2012

I have a Scissor Jack Assembly in its open Position. (fully constrained)

I would like to be able to use Drive constraint & show the Assembly in its closed position. 

I know I need to adjust one or two of my constraints.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drop Part Into Assembly In Its Design Axis Position 2103

Oct 17, 2013

I have several parts designed "car line" in their respective parts.

I would like to simply add them to an assembly in their respective axis positions.

Obviously "place" drops in in an arbitrary position to then be "Assembled". Not what I am looking for.

I was looking for a copy/  paste function between part / assembly but there seems no way to paste into an assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make A View Showing Motor Jack Screw Unit

Sep 16, 2013

I'm trying to make a view showing a motor-jackscrew unit with the jackscrew at the fully retracted position and also with the jackscrew at the fully extended position (in phantom).  Refer to the attachment.

My initial plan was to have two views in the drawing, one retracted and one extended, and then just align them vertically and horizontally.   But it turns out that you can only align vertically OR horizontally, not both at the same time.  So I created an assembly of two iAssemblies, one with the screw extended and one retracted.  Then I made the drawing view from the direction that placed the extended assembly directly behind the retracted assembly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Not Getting Design Levels Of Assembly

Dec 12, 2013

I'm not getting the design levels of assembly, just major offset and elevation, how can i get all design levels from where my assembly is changing and where it is matching to the existing surface, is there any band problem or anything else, im sending the view that how i'm getting my cross section and also i want to know that how can i control text size because it is too big for sections.

AutoCad 2D :: Conveyor Or Assembly Line Design

Aug 8, 2013

Designing conveyor or assembly lines in autocad? I know there is Factory layout, but my boss will not pay for the extra softwar. She wants me to get them done with AutoCAD. Im not new to CAD, but she needed me to move to working with line layouts. Also what sites and literature can i study to begin to understand the layout process. Im not talking about 3D tools or part design, its all 2D. Im also looking for the in's and out's of laying out a line for food and bottle product lines. Im thinking the equipment will be a block and possibly being dynamic blocks so that i can lengthen and shorten the parts to fit the space.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Separate Assembly Out Of Various Component Parts In Existing Assembly

Jul 10, 2012

I'm looking for the best way to create a separate assembly out of various component parts in an existing assembly so that the whole thing can be placed in an assembly as you would a part, I know it's possible to demote components within an assembly but are there any other methods similar / better ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Has Double User Request At Inserting In Assembly

Sep 18, 2012

We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.

1. Start a Rule after open document.

2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.

3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.

4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component

5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter

Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:

1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive

2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive

It don't work with the following situation:

- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault

Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.

I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other. 

change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tube And Pipe Assembly Styles Don't Translate Into Other Assembly Files

Feb 9, 2012

I have encountered a problem with the Tube and Pipe styles. 

As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor

When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.

Steps I've taken:

Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam 

Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work

AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Interior Volume Of Assembly By Subtracting Assembly From Block

Apr 23, 2012

I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it.  Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted.  Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?

Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Assembly Constraints With Parameters From Parts In Assembly?

Oct 30, 2012

it is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.

For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Sub Assembly From Parts From Main Larger Assembly?

Oct 31, 2011

My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.

When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.

I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.

I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.

In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Translate Assembly Component Using ILogic / Offset From Parent Assembly Origin

Nov 9, 2011

I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: CoG Needed For Each Sub Assembly In A 2 Part Assembly On An IDW

Oct 3, 2013

I have a two part duct fire damper assembly. The IDW has the combined two part assembly, which I know how to turn the CoG on, so that it can be dimensioned. The problem is each piece will more than likely be hoisted separately so I would like to show the CoG for each piece, not the combined master assy.is there a way to do this?

GIMP :: Using Scissor Tool - Cut Out Section Of Image

May 21, 2012

I am very familiar on how to use the scissors tool, but I want to know once I get to the end, is there a way to go to another section of the image to cut out what I want to get rid of?

Example, a picture of someone with their hands on their hips - I want to cut out the space in between the hips and arms and then everything else. How do I accomplish that?

Photoshop :: Team Fortress 2 / Captain Jack Sparrow

Jul 5, 2012

How to nicely edit the photo of Jack running from the Indians/tribes people?

I would like for Jack's face to remain as is, maybe even the whole head, but his body be changed to a running Spy (from Team Fortress 2) and the tribes people in the back ground to be changed to Pyros (from Team Fortress 2).

prefer the editor to know what Team Fortress 2 is (or better yet, have played it) for it will make the job THAT much easier. If not though, you can simply google the two characters and you'll get plenty of results or I can attach them to another post if necessary.

Illustrator :: Does Scissor Tool Not Work On Compound Paths

Apr 25, 2013

Does the scissor tool NOT work on compound paths? I am guessing it does not being it does not work when I use it on them, but the Adobe help section didn't specify.
 
Also, sometimes when I am using the pen tool, I will place an anchor point but it shifts away from where I want to place it. For example, I will put it at x = 72 & y = 1000 and it will place it at x = 95 & y = 1050.
 
I thought maybe it was from something I accidentally selected like snap to grid or point, but changing the settings does not correct the issue. I have to close out of the program and restart to fix it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Within Assembly Detection

AutoCAD Inventor :: Two Assembly Positions In One Assembly

Mar 21, 2013

My Assembly has two possible positions for my piston.

I would like to show both piston positions (top and bottom) in one drawing file; however, in different drawing views.

I have tried using LOD and Drawing View Representations, but it is my understanding that neither of these are meant to be used in this way.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Design Copy - Error Copying A File / Inventor Crashes

Nov 5, 2013

I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.

The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Don't Have Design Tab

Nov 28, 2011

I am working in IV R2010, and I need to create a new material.  I went to the "Help" file, and the first thing it says in "On the ribbon, select the 'Design' tab..."  Unfortunately, I don't have a "Design" tab.  What am I doing wrong, and more imprtantly, how do I make a new material?  Because of the nature of our work here, I only use most of Inventor's features rarely, like about once every couple years, and my one remaining memory cell is usually busy remembering something else...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View In Idw
