AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Visibility In Drawings?

Sep 6, 2012

I'm making drawings of assemblies in Inventor 2012 and was wondering how to turn off the visibility of specific solid bodies within a single part containing multiple bodies, or make it match the visibility in the assembly and part file itself.

In particular my situation is that I have a camera whose part model includes a solid body for its view cone. The visibility of this solid is turned off, so when opening the camera itself, or the assembly containing it, it doesn't appear, but when I place that assembly or part in a drawing it's included, and the only way I've figured out to get rid of it is to turn the whole camera's visibility off within the drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Visibility Control In IDW File

Aug 11, 2012

I've created a tie-on-cable marker tag using Loft, Replace Face and Split techniques.  After splitting, I turn off the visibility of one of the two resulting solid bodies.  File A208P03_Label.jpg shows the results with solid body Solid2 visibility either on or off. 

The cable marker tag is then used in an assembly file shown in MI-CA-0261.iam.jpg and a drawing file shown in MI-CA-0261.idw.jpg.  The problem I have is that Solid2 is showing up in the idw drawing file when I'd rather it's visibility be off as in the .iam assembly file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Split A Single Solid Body Into 2 Solid Bodies?

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.

When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:

"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"

When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:

"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."

Or, another variation on this erorr:

"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sweep Cut With Solid Body

Feb 28, 2011

i used to use Solidwork's sweep-cut with a solid body feature but i can't find it in Inventor now.

Procedure:

In part file;

Create a second solid body (must be axis-symetric, like revolved feature),

Create a path that intersects with the solid (can be a line or a curve),

Sweep the solid along the path with cut command.

I need this where the sweep-cut with a profile is not enough, to get surfaces obtainable by milling on a cylindirical body on a helical path.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Customizable Volume Of Solid Body

Jul 26, 2013

I want to make an ipart of a container with as customizable parameters (the Diameter and the Volume of one of the solid bodies). 

[URL]...

Here comes the problem:

when i was changing the volume parameter, i recieved an error that this property was read-only.is it possible te use the volume calculation from inventor the calculate back to the diameter or height? ,and also for a solid body?

If so, what do i need to do? I am using inventor 2013 (basic).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Assemblies And BOMs

Nov 4, 2011

I've created an assembly by using "Make Components" from a part comprised of solid bodies. If I suppress a feature in the "Control Part.ipt" (the part that holds all the solid bodies) it removed the part from the assembly, but it does not remove it from the BOM. What do I have to do to make the BOM follow what the assembly looks like?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Body Surface To Solid

Dec 16, 2012

I have a multibody surface part, which is derived from a multibody part. Therefor there are multiple contiguous surface parts  that are isolated from each other.

Is there a way to STITCH or convert one of these contiguous surfaces into a solid part ? 

Note:  I tried the THICKEN tool but the hole features do not come out right. Some holes are missing or the hole depths are wrong.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid Body Made Components Orientation

May 8, 2013

I'm currently using the "Make components" feature to convert solid bodies into parts. This works great, but we use this method to construct angular roof structures, and after the parts have been made the parts have angular relationships to the .ipt files UCS co-ordinates. It would be very useful if I could align the longest edge of the part (Which is a timber truss) with the x axis in the model space and "lay" the plank flat on the X-Y plane.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Duplicate Solid Body 4 Times In Part File?

Mar 31, 2012

I want to duplicate a solid body 4 times in a part file.  i did that by going for circular pattern.  But after creating that, i had to add on few more features.  I did that in parent solid body.  then I noticed that other 3 solid body is not getting updated.  I know in assembly file it gets updated but any way in part file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simple Mold Using Solid Body And Split

May 14, 2013

if i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?

the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Feature In Solid Body Part File And Bolted Generator

Nov 21, 2011

If we require to create patterned holes thru a number of solids, this works great only requiring the one hole feature.

However, once an assembly is created with the parts, (these parts obviously have their own derived individual solids in them) when needing to place a bolted generated assembly to the patterned holes. It won't recognise the pattern.

So I've come to the conclusion that the bolted generator/drop place function really needs improvement for solid body modelling technique. (Mind you, the BG needs a complete rethink because its at about 50% complete).

What I can see needs to be added, is the functionality of the parts recognising the hole pattern. e.g. when using the make components function it gives an option to add a link to the hole feature.

My only other option at present is to create the holes within the assembly file and transfer the hole feature to each part file. This obviously loses the parametric functionality.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Line Visibility Through Solid Parts?

Oct 2, 2012

I am working on a cylindrical part, and I need to CAD an internal feature for the part.  I set up a parallel plane at the point within the geometry that the feature is to be located, and am attempting to sketch the profile of the part using the 2D sketch feature.  However, the lines that I am sketching are not visible through the rest of the existing cylinder, for example, if I have draw a 30 mm line from the centre point of a 20mm radius cylinder, only the final 10 mm of the line will be shown.  While the line is still functional, it is highly inconvenient when trying to sketch these features, they are difficult to work with as I can not see them through the part. Is there any way to set the defaut visibility for 2D sketches to be so that they are visible through solid parts?

I want to be able to hide a part of an assembly in one projected view of the 2d drawing but not all, however when I do so the hidden lines stay hidden lines. They do not change. I know you can change the hidden line properties to make them continuous lines but is there a setting that will allow these lines to change automatically?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multibody IPT Solid Visibility When Working In Sketch - 2013 SP2

Sep 30, 2013

I'm doing a fairly big one-off for use at our factory so am going the multibody ipt route.  I have a design view setup within the ipt with nearly all solids switched off but when working within a sketch this seems to be ignored. I want to make sure I am projecting from sketches not bodies so if I need to tweak things later and bodies change the model won't fail.

I.e. the bodies all become visible when working in a sketch where as before going into the sketch the bodies weren't showing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Body To Solid?

Oct 14, 2010

I was given a .sat file from a third party company. When i pull it into CAD 2011 it comes in as a "body". It views like a wireframe object. I can't slice, subtract, union, etc. when i import it to Navis works it views like wireframe. The problem with this is that i can't run clash detection against this part then.

Any way to convert it to a solid?
