AutoCAD Inventor :: Slice Any Geometry Partially?
May 21, 2013I want to slice a geometry partially. But not want to divide the geometry into two parts.
I attached a photo of a part. How can i draw this geometry by using Inventor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Partially Defined Parts In An Assembly?
Aug 6, 2013Basically I am evaluating to model rebars in Inventor. Rebars come in predefined shapes - for example a "L" bar will have two dimensions (marked as A, E and R). The shape definition is fixed by a standard (like BS:8666) and the values for dimensions A, E and R are provided when it is instantiated as a part in an assembly.
I created an assembly as follows:Created a new part containing just a solid cube.Created a part for the above rebar by sweeping a circle along path which resembelled the above bar.Created an assembly and inserted the cube as 1st part.Inserted the L bar part as 2nd partInserted another L bar as 3rd part.modified the 3rd part's diameter and found it updates the other L bar as well.
My questions:Is there any way for me to create the part for L bar without giving any fixed values for the sweep path and sweep profile diameter and use it in assembly?If the above question doesn't has a solution, then is there any way for me to change one instance of the part to change while other instances of it doesnt get affected (the behaviour said in step 6 of above should not happen).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Split Body Partially?
Dec 29, 2012Wonder if there is a way to split the body at the central region only and not across the whole length. Like to split the solid into 7 solids along the v-grooves.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Has Partially Or Completely Grey Properties In Browser
Mar 2, 2012Some parts properties of one project has partially or completely grey in browser.
Nothing special had happened prior to this problem. It happened with some absolutely irregular and not systematic affection as like a fallen and broken ink bottle makes something completely colored and some other stuff just partially and some not.
I mean some parts properties are completely grey and some have just several grey properties while some other are not affected (see video link)
It is a permanent bug and seems it belongs to the part itself since the reloading Inventor and windows and Task Scheduler attempts to fix it - all gray colors stay exactly where they were before and in same irregularity. Opening the affected parts in other project gave the same result as in original one.

GIMP :: Slice Image Using Filter-web-slice Function?
Sep 11, 2012I'm trying to slice an image using the filter-web-slice function but I was wondering if there is a way to customize the function or change its properties in the Python-Fu. I need gimp to slice by columns (start in the top left corner slice each grid down the column then proceed to the next column. Right now all I can get gimp to do is cut by rows. Normally gimps function would be fine but I need the image labeled a particular way so I can use the individual files in a map for a game. I'm making a 118 images so renaming them by hand would take too long.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Slice Sheet Metal
Nov 13, 2011I was designing a part which consisted in a circular sheet metal part with a hole in the center, and a bent rectangular radii-oriented section. The second feature is the one I want to give focus in this thread.
Take a circular sheet metal with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. Now, to achieve the bent section one would perform - in a workshop or any other equivalent - two parallel slices of about 5 mm in length with a distance from each other of 4 mm. The slice would start in the circumference and end somewhere nearer to the center of the disc, but not parallel to a radius (since its parallel to another slice 4 mm apart as said before). After the slicing was done, one would bend the section between the slices 90 degrees to any of the sides.
Now, in Inventor I couldn't find a way to do this. I couldn't just slice a line through the disc. I worked it around by cutting rectangles of 0.2 mm in width and with the length of the desired slices, and then using the folding command to bend it 90 degrees. Is it possible to perform this so called slices?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Slice View Of Bearing Assembly?
Nov 25, 2012I have an assembly which contains some content centre tapered roller bearings. When I do a slice of the entire assembly the bearings remain solid. Within the document settings>modelling tab the "Participate in Assembly and Drawing sections" is checked.
How can I get the part to be sliced within the half sliced view like everything else?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing 2D Geometry
Jan 16, 2006How in import 2D geometry into Inventor so I do not have to redraw the profile, only extrude the existing geometry. I tried to export from Autocad a IGES file, and then create a sketch plane in Inventor and project the geometry onto the sketch plane, but I ended up with a bunch of open loops. Perhaps, I have figured it out and real question is how to I close open loops?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Extrude Geometry Text
Jul 7, 2013I'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself.?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Import 2D DWG As Construction Geometry?
Dec 17, 2011Currently I save all my 2D DWGs as IGES files and then import the files into Inventor. That converts all the geometry to Construction Wires in an IPT, which means MUCH improved performance (you don't have to wait for Inventor to convert every single entity in the DWG to a Sketch entity). I then start a new Sketch and Project those lines that I need from the Construction Wires.
Is there a way to do this directly (convert to Construction Wires) with a DWG, without having to save as an IGES file first?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Geometry In Drawing Views
Feb 23, 2012Why is it that when I create a dimension across geometry the dimension shows true, yet if I create sketched geometry in the drawing view it does not?
What I need to do is create an arc of swing for a door. So I create a sketched arc and then want to dimension the arc radius of the door, yet the dimension shows not true. How do I make it true? And why can't I snap to model geometry in the drawing view?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Change The Size Of Revision Tag's Geometry?
Jul 29, 2008You know the square, traingle, circle, and the hexagon shapes that are used on the revision tags? How do I change the size of the geometry to be smaller? If I just change the text size, all that changes is the text, the geometry remains the same. I'm wanting to make them ultra small so that when there are lots of revisions, it doesn't clutter up the drawing too much.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tessellate TextBox Contents Into Geometry?
Dec 13, 2012I am using Inventor 2013 API for an application that imports Solid bodies and Sketches from Inventor parts.
Observed that when we import sketch entities, the Text object simply returns 4 lines representing its bounding box. What I want to do here, is to get the formated text as a collection of geometric entities. (lines, splines, arcs)
Is there any API available to "explode" text into entities, or may be a cleaner method that simply returns tesselation of formated text?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Projected Geometry Does Not Update Upon Change

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference Geometry In Assembly Drawings
Dec 6, 2011We have some serious problems by creating assembly drawings with reference geometries in inventor 2010. Our target is, to create a drawing that look the way, the attachment shows (Picture-1) The sheet metal plates Pos 10-100 are an assembly. And the assembly in the back is the reference geometry. It’s a frame consists of steel sections. What we want: 1. The frame must be phantom lined in the idw. 2.
The Sheet Metal parts must be thick lined. 3. The Partslist of the Assembly should only contain the sheet metal parts and not the frame We have some ideas to solve this case, but each of them is nor perfect (please see the attachment Box.pdf) And there’s another problem (described in part 3 of attachment), we cannot position viewports or drawing elements to each other exactly. You have no possibility to give them dependencies. Also if you want to position symbols to each other. All of them are only near to be exact, but that’s a big problem. If you change contents of a viewport, another should be aligned to it, but that doesn’t work.
