AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Drawings - Sheet Metal Corners
Jul 18, 2013I am importing drawings from autocad which are known to bend correctly in real life. However, when I bend the parts on inventor, there is interferance with the corners. Material is 18 GA. HRPO, bend radius and k-factor are updated correctly (to my knowledge). In my "folded" image, is there a way to prevent the part from bending past the bend line?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Sheet Metal Parts With Square Shapes And Bends Them
Nov 28, 2011Let me start by saying that we rarely use sheet metal parts so I'm not real familiar with that interface. That said, I can create sheet metal parts with square shapes and bends just fine. However, I'm currently stumped as to the best way to model what should be a pretty simple plate.
We have a large, thin (1/8") square plate to which we want to add 2 opposing diagonal very slight breaks to add stiffness to the plate. More specifically, we want these diagonal bends to cover the center part of the plate leaving about a 2" flat flange all the way around the plate.

Nov 27, 2013I have a number of flat pannels (roughtly 4x5 feet) that need a 3/4" x-crimp (basically push out the center 3/4"). Is there an easy way to do this? I'm having a bit of trouble figuing it out. I have a lot of pannels to make, all different sizes so it needs to be easy to change the basic pannel size.
I can make the pannel with conventional tools easy enough but then the flange (and other sheet metal tools) won't work (says it's not a sheet metal edge even though it is the same thickness).

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Shape With Sheet Metal Tools
Apr 18, 2012I`ve not used the sheet metal parts that much but have a part which would suit Sheet metal.
How do i make this shape with sheet metal tools .Also how to press the groove starting in the metal at the begining of the bend and continuing through to the end of the bend at the opposite side.Would not even know how to start this part in sheet metal with Inv.2012.
Do i get the metal sheet and use bend to make the sides?

Apr 2, 2012I am having trouble with a part that I wont to convert to sheetmetal and make a drawing with bend annotations.
Converting the part goes fine but the flat pattern is only a "semi-flat-pattern" 2 of the 4 bends doesn't unfold.
I have a 8mm plate and the internal radius is 2mm and the external radius is 10mm and the bend angel is 10 degrees sow everything should be fine.
But how to add the last to bends to make my flat pattern unfold correctly?

Aug 8, 2013I am working on a bin type unit, and am having trouble creating a flange, I am creating the bin in the final product stage, then I will separate into manufacturer components. I am having trouble adding this flange around the top 4 edges of the bin. I need the four corners to meet on a miter 45. I will then rip down each seam and have 4 separate panels.
Is this a bad workflow? Is there a better route? I attached the part in Inventor 2013 format,

Oct 20, 2011Very thin gauge aluminum sheets with a composite sandwiched between them.
The challenge is, the panels are relatively thick, 3mm or 4mm, but a router is used on the fold lines before bending to cut through all but the outer aluminum. This makes for a very tight bend radius.
So, thick 3 layer material, tight bend with mitered corners. Can Inventor's sheet metal tools handle this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Normal Cut In Sheet Metal
Sep 6, 2012how incredible it is that Inventor still does not have a functional normal cut option for sheet metal like Solidworks and Solidedge have long had and I agree. I realize that there are the standard workflows like using derive and thicken to get around this problem. However, for those interested, there is a way to make a normal cut (for laser/cnc) directly in the sheet metal part in many cases. It involves using a sketch to split a face and then using the resulting profile for a thicker/cut feature. I'm always interested in any other methods out there for obtaining normal cuts in complex sheet metal (for a clean dxf export). By the way, Autodesk, do you actually not have any plans of ever adding functionality in this area?

But its not working for me:
I ran the installer, created a sheet metal part and hit rebuild all, it did not create any proeprties, also tried to manually create the properteis then hit rebuild, no go.
I also did a search on my hardrive for the ApplicationPlugins, and placed the sheet metal folder in all of them(there were 3) tried again noto.
The add-in also does not appear in the add-in manager.
Or is there different what to get the flat pattern dimensions in 2013
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Convert To Sheet Metal
Dec 7, 2012I have just modelled a part with some faces and tried to convert to sheet metal to have inventor make the bends between the faces. However when trying to convert to sheet metal i get the following error message (Autodesk Inventor Professional Tip) - "This model cannot be converted to Sheet Metal because it contains features that have created multiple bodies. In order to convert to Sheet Metal these features must first be removed."
As the picture show the part only has 1 solid. Even when deleting all features except the "base" face I get the same error message or Tip as Inventor calls it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Cut Across Bend
Dec 20, 2012I have a sheet metal door with a little bracket that gets welded to the inside lip through a cut-out in the face of the door. (see assembly)
I can't get the cut-out to line up flush with the inside lip of the door, as that is where the brackets gets welded to. the current aseembly is set-up the way I want, but I can't get a flat pattern on the door, becasue of the cut going across the bend.
I have checked off the "cut across bend" in the cut dialogue box, but this leaves a small (~1/32) lip in the cut-out and runs interference in the placement of the bracket.
