AutoCAD Inventor :: Select Part Doesn't Stay Hi-lighted?

Aug 8, 2013

I am used to selecting a part then selecting find in browser.  I have lost this ability due to my selection not staying hilighted.  As soon as I move pointer away from part, the selection hi-light disappears.  I looked in App Options, but unless I missed it....

AutoCAD Inventor :: DWG Doesn't Stay The Way It Was Made As Assembly Changes

Oct 22, 2012

I have an assembly that changes daily and drawings made at each step of the way using .dwg format.  The problem is, that when I add something to the assembly, it addes it to the drawings already made and as a result losses dims and notes that I made.  Is there a way to set the dwgs so that all new items added to the model automaticly are no visible in the drawings that were already created.  I spend a lot of time changing old drawing to what they used to be.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pack&Go Doesn't Completely Go (assembly Stay Linked To Original Location)

Dec 14, 2012

On a couple assy's, I am trying to use pack&go to make self-contained versions of them.

Only problem is, the assy file (xxx.iam) and all sub-assy files are still linked to the component files in the original location even though the component files were copied to the new location with the P&G command

The whole point in this feature is to make self sufficient copies of something that don't depend on the original data.

This shows the settings I am using It is finding all the files ok.  It just doesn't change the relationships on the new iam files.   I could manually copy them and do the same thing this feature is doing.

Is there some hidden checkbox I need to find ?   Note, I also tried once with "Include linked files" unchecked and got the same result.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Doesn't Allow To Mirror A Part As Different One

May 15, 2013

Inventor doesn't allow me to mirror a part as a different part. In normal cases, I can mirror a part within an assembly and it allows me to give a new filename. Now, it thinks it is a standard part and wants to reuse it even if I uncheck the "reuse standard content and factory parts" box. How can I turn that off? Or mirror the component?

AutoCAD 2010 :: New Layer - Color Doesn't Stay Set

Jan 3, 2012

Whenever I create a new layer in the Layer Manager, and I set the color, the color reverts back to whatever it defaulted to when I created the new layer - usually the color of that layer that is current, since everything is just duplicated.

To fix it I have to go back into Layer Manager and set the color a second time.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Fixture Doesn't Stay Rotated

May 8, 2013

I have a base plan with some light fixtures that need to be rotated 180.

Yesterday, I rotated the fixtures then saved the file. Then I closed the file and emailed it. When I reopened it, the fixtures were rotated back, but the file I emailed was properly rotated. I saved over our file with the one that I emailed, and all seemed fine yesterday. This morning I open it and everything’s rotated incorrectly again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can No Longer Select Part In Display

Jun 8, 2012

I'm running 2012, and once in a while while in an assembly, I can no longer select the part in the display (alike to selecting the part in the browser) and instead can only select faces of parts. I think I might be hitting something when I right click, though I'm unsure. How to reverse it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 Select Other Menu Doesn't Pop Up And Key Bindings Don't Work

Nov 6, 2013

I used Inventor 2010, but after a change of our Domain, I had some issues with export and mouse customization (one worked with IV running privileged, but the other didn't and vice versa). Reinstalation didnt solve the problem, so I hoped, that a newer version would solve it. Unfortunately the problems remained the same, but I could get it to work (running mouse software also privileged).

Now I noticed, that the 'select other' menu doesn't pop up, regardless of the delay choosen in the settings. Also some function keys don't work: F7, F8, and F9 don't show any reaction, while all other F-keys work.I'm using Inventor Professional 2013, 64 Bit (Build : 200, Release 2013 SP2 Update 2) from our Education Master Suite.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Derive Part Windows Doesn't Show Up

Sep 4, 2012

I created a skeleton and now i want to derive the sketches and planes to other parts. It worked for a while, but now it does not work!

The problem is when I create a new .ipt and then I would like to Derive an other part in it. I click on the file from the browser, it puts the part into the .ipt, well, sort of, it's like a visual effect, but NO Derive window appears afterwards, so I cannot edit which sketch or parameter or planes...etc.. I chose to actually derive to the .ipt.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Insert BOM Into A Part Drawing That Doesn't Reference Itself?

Jun 28, 2012

This is something that I have tried to understand and find a work around since I started working with Inventor.  Is there a way to insert a BOM into a part drawing that does not reference itself?  When we create parts they are cut or machined from a designated material (size, shape, etc) which has it's own part number, one that we have to manually enter into the drawing BOM with it's description.  Is there a way to attach this raw or base material to a part file as a subordinate part that can be seen in parent assembly's BOM's?

If there is a way to attach a raw material to a ipt's BOM that can be seen at all levels above it we could explore the option of streamlining our BOM creation process.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Constraints Doesn't Move The Part After Applying Them

Mar 21, 2013

I noticed when creating assemblies, applying a positional constraint, the parts don't move. In order to get the parts to "move" to their constrained position I have to try and drag them with the mouse then they snap into place. Also updating the assembly works as well.

What setting could I have changed so that once I press apply on a constraint it moves the part immediately?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Note Doesn't Update After Change Part

Nov 28, 2012

Using 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).

If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Creation Tools Edit Settings Doesn't Stay?

May 31, 2012

In LDDT, I was able to create points and manually assign a point number.  

I know in Civil 3D 2013, i can assign a point number also by changing a toggle under Point Creation Tools to False.

My problem is that everytime I close out of that box and get back in, it reverts the toggle back to TRUE so I have to keep changing it back to False as well as the Next Point Number. In the above example, the Next Point Number should be 1147 (which is after my manually created point 1146) but it keeps going back to 33 which is the next available number after #1.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IV2012 API - AddCircularPattern Doesn't Work With Axis From Part In Assembly

Feb 26, 2013

There are two cases, that should behave the same, but they don't.

First program works normally. Inventor generates a circular Pattern with the given Part.

' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis of the Assembly

[Code].....
 
Now, the second case, I try to take the Work Axis from a Part, that is placed in the Assembly,

but Inventor does not generate the Pattern. If I set the Axis visible, or even rename it, it works. But the AddCircularPattern does not work.

' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis from Part, placed in Assembly

[code]....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part List - Quantity Doesn't Match With The Drawing View

Apr 11, 2013

My customer is having trouble with the part list feature inside the Inventor 2D drawing.

For example, He has a car assembly file with 4 wheels and alot more subassemblies, then he creates a view representation which only visible for 1 wheel.

When he generates the part list in Inventor 2D drawing, he go to part list >filter setting and set to ‘’Assembly view representation’’ but the quantity for the part list is still showing as 4 as per attachment.

change the value manually inside the part list table?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend Part Doesn't Work With Thread Feature Present

Oct 31, 2012

I've attached an example of a workflow we use to make different instances of products.part1 gets assembled in assembly1 which then gets derived in part2 to receive a bend.We use assembly1 in one place and part2 in another.(this is a simplified example, made with IV2013 SP1.1)

In part1, if you add the thread feature, the "bend part" feature in part2 fails after updating.This also happens if you try to add a "bend part" to part1 AFTER the thread feature, if the bend is present beforehand it does work.

Having the bend before the thread feature in part1 doesn't work with our workflow, because we need the assembly1 to be straight.In short, the thread feature is causing problems with "bend part".

I can't say if this problem was present in previous versions or even in the previous service pack since we don't use this workflow that often, especially with threaded parts, but i hope this can get fixed with a hotfix.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block Rotate Part And Stretch Arcs To Stay Connected

Jun 18, 2012

I have a block that I would like make dynamic.  It is a fishhook arrow for a roundabout traffic sign.  I would like to rotate the head to various angles, and have the body of the arrow adjust.  I already have the ability to stretch the two end points in their direction, and rotate the head, but the curved part of the arrow body needs to adjust for the new head location.  I tried dynamic stretch, but it would not attach to the rotate dimension.  How do I get these arcs to stretch along their radii and associate the end arc points to the near end of arrow head?

I had one thought of using multipe arcs so that they would overlap more or less as rotated, but this is a pretty crude workaround.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Part When Changing Size Doesn't Update Correct Length

Mar 15, 2013

A coworker brought this to my attention and I was also immediately able to reproduce this. We use content center C channels and other common beams a lot. After inserting one into an assembly if you right click and select change size and edit the length it typically doesn't update to the correct length.

Example:

Insert a 10" Ansi MC/C channel any size

right click and select change size

add +.0625 to the existing length and hit apply

measure it at 10.06252 in

repeat change size and type in 10.0625

measure it at 10.0625

repeat change size and type in 10 + .0625

and measure at 10.06252 in

It seems to mess up more when you do math but it also screws up entering a simple number

10.000325 usually ends up as 10.000315 in for me.

Editing the part directly from it's parameter dialog doesn't yield anything like this.

I was just wondering as to whether its possible to keep the checkered base which you get when you remove part of an image or have it transparent to stay in the created image.

I am sure you all know this.

Here is the YouTube background which I have created and wondering if I am able to keep the checkered base or whatever in the image after I have saved it rather than print screening and pasting it back like a jigsaw puzzle.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Telescoping Cylinder Won't Stay Together

Sep 7, 2007

I have a telescoping cylinder that someone else modeled. It has an extended and retracted positional rep. I want to make it free moving so that is will move in and out inside another assembly. I can get it to move freely and stop at it's extents using contact sets. My problem is that when you jump from a retracted position to an extended position the center rod "escapes" from the housing.

AutoCad 3D :: How To Select Hidden Part

Apr 24, 2013

I am using Autocad 2013.

I imported two solid models( *.stp) in one workplace. (Drafting & annotation/insert/import)

I am trying to subtract one from another, But one is hidden from another. (smaller one is in the bigger one) To subtract smaller one from bigger one, I need to select small hidden one.

1. How to select the hidden part? I cannot see from outside.

If I have tree view(navigation??), I could simply select one on the tree, But I don't know how to make to pop it up. Instead of clicking icons, I tried to use command, but what each model name is. (I tried imported file name, but didn't work)

2. How to check the model name so that I can use in command?

3. When I use command, I put SUBTRACT - enter , (select object- actually I click on the object) then it shows me "select objects:1 found" but when I hit ENTER, it shows me "no solid, surfaces, or regions selected" How can I properly select the object?

I currently imported two STEP files in one workplace, both are solid. I am working on 3D modeling-solid editing-subtract.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Balloons To Stay In Desired Direction?

Any easy or more reliable way of getting balloons to stay in the direction you want?

In the image i've attached you can see what normally happens when dragging a balloon in position on the left and what i desire (and accomplish after a lengthy fight) on the right.

Is there a way to make a balloon (3.30.4 in this case) go into the desired direction without having to fight with it?
