AutoCAD Inventor :: Ground Plane And Ambient Shadows?

Aug 3, 2012

Whenever I open a part (or iam), the ground plane and ambient shadows are active.  If I turn them off (on View tab, appearance panel) and exit the part, then reopen it again, the ground plane and ambient shadows are active again.

How do I save these appearance settings?  Do I have to turn these off EVERYTIME I open a part?

I didnt see anything in the app options for this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ray Tracing Not Applying Shadows Or Lighting Correctly

Oct 10, 2012

Just started having a play with ray tracing in Inventor 2013 Pro & I'm quite impressed how quickly you can get a rendered view of a model. However, it seems no matter how I set up the lighting or the shadows in the 'Settings' menu when I click on 'Tay Tracing' it seems to default back to some original settings. The shadows & lighting in any of the drop down menus don't seem to be applied. eg. I select 'Two Lights' from the menu, then select 'Settings' I then adjust the shadows & the lights from within the menu. It all looks good on the screen & click Ray Tracing & everything that I've done doesn't get applied? However, when I cancel & stop the Ray Tracing the shadows & Lights are still there.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Default Settings For Perspective View And Shadows?

Aug 16, 2012

For some reason regardless of what I save or the fact that I've saved the template files, everytime I open a new file it automatically adds shadows and applies perspective view.  This is extremely annoying.  How do I alter the default settings to be ortho with no shadows?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Export An Animation

Jun 28, 2012

How can I export an animation that I have created in Inventor Studio and Import into Showcase? I see that Showcase creates an *.fbx file when it imports my Inventor Assembly, but somehow the results I get are different every time I import.

After some time I discovered that "Verhalten" seems to contain the animation from Inventor, but there are always some parts missing in the animation where Showcase (2012) doesn´t recognize that there are other parts connected to that one moving part.

It´s all constrained in Inventor and behaves like it should either in the assembly and in the studio environment.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Animation Of Assembly

Feb 17, 2012

Im having trouble animating an assembly i made. It is a twin cylinder foot pump for car tyres, nothing special. When i try and animate it i have trouble getting the pump to move. When trying to animate constraints it doesn't like it and parts move about all over the place. I've also tried animating parts and this doesn't work either.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Put Project In Animation

Sep 14, 2013

My teammates and I have recieved a project where we are about to put a product into an animation. We've been given instructions to place a flat steelpart on one side and it's suppose to come out as an ideal product on the other. This is just the first step, it all will hopefully be a factory that is fully functional by 1 year from now.

Flat steelpart -----> Being brought into a place where everything is put together -------> The product.

Here's the product:

AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving Animation As WMV

Nov 25, 2013

But why is it that I can only seem to save an animation in Inventor Studio (2014) as a .wmv (or Windows Media File)? Shouldn't I have the options for saving it as other types such as an .avi or the like?

I could have sworn I was able to in past releases. I should be able to save it as such, so where oh where is the setting that is dictating this?

Note: This animation is a cross section, not a shaded, realistic type with lighting and camera details to worry about.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 6-axis Robot Animation

Mar 29, 2012

I'm trying to animate a 6-axis robot in Inventor 2012 Pro, which moves to about 10 different locations.  I'm using parameters to drive the constraints to position the wrist, and I have several different positional representations with unsuppressed / modified constraints.  When I try to animate between the positional reps in IV Studio, the parts just snap into place instead of interpolating between each location.  Also, I have to manually enter the timing for each step, instead of just entering the max angular velocity of each joint.

Would it be easier to create the animation in dynamic simulation using a spatial joint at the wrist?  I'd like for the positions to still be modifiable through the parameters.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Render Animation Time

Aug 28, 2012

I have a simplistic model (4 parts, 10 or so screws) that I am trying to render an animation through using Studio with the lowest possible output settings, my concern is that the render time is extraordinary long even for the most basic of assembly, why is this ? I have also tried the animate when in an IPN file which does improve render time but the quality is not very good.

I will now try using keyframe animation in Showcase to see if I can get an animation with good quality completed within the hour !

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2011 IPN Animation Recording

Jun 3, 2010

I just installed IV 2011 and I am trying to record an animation in my .ipn file to a .wmv file. When I hit the record icon I give it a .wmv file name, hit save. Choose custom profile and set my bandwidth to (Custom) 500 and my pixel size to 1200 x 900 and hit OK. Then the animation dialogue box comes up and the record button is not depressed like it is supposed to be. I can record it with the default settings, but it looks horrible.
