AutoCAD Inventor :: Surface Not Allowing New Sketch Plane

Dec 20, 2013

When I tried to make a sketch plane on one of the surfaces of the revolved feature, it only had the option to edit the original sketch or the feature even though the sketch that I'm trying to create is on a different plane. There is one surface that allows me to add a sketch plane.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Consumed Work Plane In Sketch 3D

Apr 13, 2008

I use AddByNormalToCurve method to create a work plane in a sketch 3D. Is it possible to make new workplane object to be consumed by the parent Sketch3D (Workplane.Consumed = True) as it is possible in UI in Edit mode ?

My sample code in IV 2008:

Public Sub WorkPlane_Test()
'reference to the transient geometry
Dim oTG As TransientGeometry
Set oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry
'reference to the component definition

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator Sketch And Plane Visibility

Jan 9, 2013

I added another extrusion profile to my structural shapes library, using the same method as the others a few years ago.  It works, but the new extrusion now shows up with its profile sketch, start and end planes, and driven dimension visible.  The old stuff doesn't (like I would expect).  I have all planes in the published part turned off, not marked for export, etc., just like in the old ones.   How do I turn this off?  Inventor 2012 SP2.

When I open the extrusion separately, the work features to not display.  But, the it's also shown as the "default" color not as material.  Why does it default to "default" not "as material" like everything else?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Starting Sketch In XZ Plane Screen Rotates 180

Oct 1, 2012

When ever I start a new sketch in the xz plane (viewing from top down) my sketch rotates 180 degrees. Not a huge deal to rotate it back, but not everything I create is symetrical and when I go to draw the part, I want a certain ISO view to be default. I know you can insert/obtain any view into the drawing but is there an option to stop this rotation or maybe I am not setting up something correctly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy And Paste Sketch In Same Plane Through ILogic

May 1, 2013

Here I attached my model view it's just for reference here iam using rectangular pattern and simple ilogic code .Using rectangular pattern we will get all same sizes of boxes but i want to change different different sizes and positions. my idea is without using pattern just draw one rectangular through parameter. Select no. of compartments automatically copy and paste that rectangular in same sketch plane and ask sizes and positions dimensions.

It's possible through ilogic?

In my panel bar options are:

Hight of panel- Hight of panel

width1- Width of panel

Depth1-Depth of panel

com1- no.of Compartments

hIN- No.of Hinges

AutoCAD Inventor :: Offset 3D Sketch In Direction Normal To A Plane?

May 17, 2013

I would like to be able to offset a 3D Sketch in a direction normal to a plane.  In the attached image, I have drawn in an orange color the direction I would like the 3DSketch to offset.The white line is where the new sketch would be.

The yellow surface is the 3dsketch extend to a plane

There might be some tools in Inventor that will do what I am trying, but I have not found it yet.  I have tried extend surface, but that will not take it the direction I want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: New Part Default Sketch On Y-z Plane Can't Draw

Aug 13, 2012

Working on setting up 2013 for our department.  By default we use the application option - Part Tab - of creating a sketch on the x-z plane upon new part creation.  Now this actually works, problem is you can't draw on it, or you can't see what you are drawing.  If you exit out of the sketch and start a new one then it works.  I have found that if you switch the setting to the y-z plane is does the same thing.  Switching it to no new sketch or the x-y plane and it works fine. Tying to determine if it's actually a bug in inventor or if it's just something with what I am doing or our template files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Plane Tangent To Curved Surface?

Oct 2, 2012

I'm designing a part, and am having trouble creating a plane tangent to a curved surface. One option for creating a plane says "Tangent to Surface through Point", which in theory I should be able to use, but I can't figure out how to actually place a point there before in order to create a surface at the point.

Basically I am trying to cut a circle into the curved right side of the part

I've attached the part file for reference.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Profile Plane Tangential To Conical Surface

Oct 31, 2013

I have the German version of Inventor 2014, so some translations may be different.

I want to project a text on a sketch onto a conical surface. The error message is that the chosen surface wasn't tangential to the profile plane. I found no way to rotate the plane.

How do I project my profile onto the conical surface or How do I make the profile plane tangential to the conical surface?

I have draw in DWG the front view of a ship's frame. I've closed the loop in inventor and extruded the object but I am unable to sketch on most of the surface to complete the side view..??

I can only sketch on one section the upper and lower sections it won't allow me too.

The top should be offset to the right but I am unable to draw the sketch onto the fame.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Work Axis Where Work Plane Intersects Curved Surface?

Sep 9, 2013

I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part.  I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.

How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?

Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?

I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.

The attached jpg shows the intersection in question.  I circled it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Getting 2D Projection Of Out-of-plane Sketch

May 21, 2013

I have drawn a 2D sketch (of a wind turbine) and I found it easier to just rotate the drawings of the blades out of the plane of the drawing to get something that looks like an isometric view. So now some parts of my drawing are in plane, and other parts are turned out of plane by like 35 degrees, so looking at it from the top it looks like an isometric view of the turbine.

However, now I have a task to have the same drawing but with gradient filling in the turbine itself as well as the air and water in the background. The easiest way to do this would be to somehow get a 2D projection drawing of what I see when I look at the plane from the top. (see attached picture)

So what I need is to get what is called "Top View" in the picture with all lines being in-plane from the out-of-plane drawing shown on the right.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Render Ground Plane And Reflective Surface

Jul 24, 2013

I am trying to use AutoCAD to render some small parts.  I am used to using Inventor Studio, but AutoCad's rendering tools have taken some getting used. to.  I have everything figured out, with the exception of the ground plane for shadows and/or reflections.

I originally wanted a ground plane for a shadow to be projected on.  However, I had no luck with that, so I modeled a large box under the part.  Using that, I am able to get a shadow, or reflection, BUT, the edges of the box are showing in the background.  The easy fix is to make the box larger, however, I need the reflective surface and background to be white so that it can be printed on paper without seeing the rendered edges.

How can I set a ground plane, or model a plane, for shadows or reflections, AND made it true white so that the edges cannot be seen?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault Add-In Not Allowing Open (Check Out All)

Oct 24, 2012

Following a recent Inventor crash (another topic entirely), I re-started Inventor and logged in to Vault Workgroups, all with no problems. From the Ribbon Vault Tab I chose Open, browsed to and selected one of my I-Assemblies. I clicked the down arrow next to the Open button at the bottom right corner of the dialog box, and was surprised that the Open (Check Out All) option was grayed out. This has never been the case before now. I have checked with quite a few other Assembliles and I-Parts, all of which are currently in sync with the Vault, and none of them allow me the option of Open (Check Out All).

This has persisted for 2 days now, meaning I have shut my workstation down completely and re-started each morning. Is there some system setting or variable that needs adjustment? Is there some disconnect between the Inventor Vault add-in and Vault Workgroups itself that results in this option being disabled?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed.
