AutoCAD Inventor :: Threaded Lines From Thread Features In Section Views

Nov 8, 2012

Here is the issue we have found. While sectioning a view of an assembly in idw, the threaded lines of threaded features have a strange behavior depending on the section line used. I have attached a simple example that shows what he have found. Basically, if the section line is straight, threaded features show correctely. Independent of section participation. If the section has segments at different angles, then lines are not appearing.

The first three views have both parts excluded from section participation(Obviously, there isn't any real life need for this, but I did it to just simplify the illustration without adding a bunch extra parts) The base view is the top view or view showing the round shape. For the first example at the bottom, i simply projected the view to the left and made sure "Threaded Features" was selected. Threaded lines show fine.

Second example is the similiar, except the i used a section view instead of the projected view. Both parts are excluded. Section line is straight. Verticle in this example. Doesn't have to vertical as the line is straight.

Next example is similiar to the second, only difference is the section is not straight. You can see the threaded lines do not show. This is the problem we want to solve. How to make the threaded lines display!!!

Last example shows the same section, only this time the component is included in the section participation. And it works.

Any settings to change or a trick to make it work. Otherwise, i think i need to issue a support request with autodesk.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotation - Translation Constraint On Threaded Features

Sep 30, 2013

how to make this Clamp Rod to Clamp Base Spacer Turn relationship.

this is from the Clamp Project on this site: Inventor Wizard,  The Clamp Lever is turning or rotating the clamp rod into the Clamp Base Spacer  but I could not simulate the Thread or the Screw motion if that is the term, or the 1 or 1/2 turn of the Clamp Rod to 1 Pitch movement,  plus I can't seem to put the Rod inside the Clamp Base Spacer hole when the Contact Solver is ON, maybe modeling issue on my part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Thread Features In Drawing View By Default

May 1, 2006

When you have a part with a thread feature, the default setting should show the thread feature in the drawing view...rather than making the user right click the view and select "Display Thread Feature". I don't understand why this doesn't show up in the drawing automatically...it is, after all, a feature on the part.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section Labels From Surface Features Lines

Jun 27, 2012

Often we  build a design surface from feature lines and possibly a grading or two. Then we cut sections.

Now, for set out, and especially for smaller contractors who don't have fancy survey gear, it would be really nice to be able to show design surface levels in section bands BUT ONLY AT THE SURFACE-DEFINING FEATURE LINE LOCATIONS.

I am aware that we can use grade breaks...but this gives us band data at each triangle intercept which is too much data. We can weed this data, but that is indiscriminate and I really need only the data at the surface-defining geometry points (feature line locations.)

We can also use station/elevation labels on the section views but this is time-consuming and non-dynamic. Band labels are dynamic and more or less automatic...if only we could get the discrete locations we need labelled.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Creation Or Section Views Creating Random Lines

Jun 15, 2012

I'm uploading the .dwg and .txt files.  I'm trying to get volume calcs cut and fill between two surfaces and when I compare the data between AGTEK's Highway 3D there is different results.  I looked into it to find these random line appearing in Autocad making what seems to be the problem.  Where are these coming from and how do I fix? Also, if you could anwser how can I insert a sectional following the 12'-23' offsets and dropping 1.16' down and adding it to my design surface. I want to make a big box there added to design surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sample Lines / Section Views - Unable To Change From Layer 0

Jul 15, 2012

I created sample lines and section views for my road projects. I set all line works to appropriate layers except for "Segment and Points". Cannot change from layer "0".

I right click the existing grade on my section views, click "edit section style", click "display", then change the layer of Segments and points and click "OK", "apply".

Go back to my drawing, verify the layer but  still layer "0". I tried so many times, read the manual, call friends but no luck. I am tempted to "explode" my drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Section Views

Nov 23, 2012

So I am trying to create section views that detail the correct assembly of two parts.

These parts are welded on top of each other so its important to have clear understanding of how they fit together.

So imagine a pipe bent in the shape of a circle, in the horizontal plane, then holes drilled into the top (vertically) and then another pipe fitting in the holes and being welded together. This is what is happening.

So I am trying to create a section view of one of the holes with the welding information.

When I go to create the section view, I draw a line that would pass through the center of the large horizontal circle (but doesnt) and the center of the hole I am trying to detail and through to the outside of the horizontal pipe.

Now with this line I should get a view of the assembly exactly perpendicular to the line from that point. This is what is called "Aligned" in Inventor and what I was taught as a "Section View". However, this is not the case at all. I get what is called a projected section view.

find a way to get an "Aligned" view of this without sectioning the entire assembly. I just want the small bit necessary to show the relevant information.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cross Section Views

Dec 20, 2013

I am a new user of AutoDesk inventor and have a few questions about saving different views of the drawing.  I have a floor plan layout and need to save several different cross section views to see different angles and different parts of the interior.  I am familiar with how to do this in programs such as google sketchup but not inventor.  I also need to insert text with arrows pointing to different things in the drawing.  Is this possible with inventor or does the drawing need to be put into other software such as paint.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Annotation On Section And Detail Views

Mar 26, 2013

im trying to make an template we can use as default template..

now when i make a section view or a detail view of a part, the annotation is placed above the section view..

I would like to have that underneath the view.

I know can drag it down there, but is there a way to have the annotation underneath the view when its created? would save me and the rest who is going to use the template a lot of time..

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Constrain Section Views In Drawings

Jan 13, 2012

How you constrain a section view so that is perpendicular to an axis. See "SECTION B" on the attached drawing for an example of what I am attempting. I have created the view but cannot make (constrain)  the view perpendicular to the slot that is orientated at 30 degrees from the vertical centre line. I have lined up the view by eye so it looks close but it's obviously it's not accurate.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Detail And Section Views Blowing Up In IDW

Jun 6, 2012

Working with Inventor 2012: I have a rather large assembly (over 3000 parts) that was worked on by an outside engineering firm and includes several different Levels of Detail & Views under Representations. When they originally Pack 'n Go-ed the whole assembly and related .idw's over to us, all the .idw's seemed to show every view correctly without errors.

However, I've now went into the assembly and made several modifications to the overall master assembly and a few sub-assemblies within it (adding/deleting a few parts, nothing major). Now when I try to open a few of the master assembly .idw files, all the section & detail views have become full model views, losing their "cutaway" views. See the attached before & after pictures.

I've went back in to each .iam and made sure that the level's of detail & Views match the way the file was originally given to us but I can't seem to get the cutaway views back again.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Section In Full Height In Section Views?

Feb 20, 2013

I have lots of section views with some surfaces and pipes. Unfortunately, in a number of section views pipes are not shown in full height because the section view level range is too little. What I am wondering is - is it possible to automatically adjust section level ranges so that they fully include pipe sections? Please see also the image in the attachment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Section Sheets From Multiple Section Views

When i am creating section sheets from multiple section views ,section sheet  view port scale  changes.I did set it correctly in my template.

For example it changs from 1:150 to 1:150_1 

Then in section sheets scetions views are not displaying correctly.

When i change view port scale manually it shows correctly.But it should do to all sheets.

What should I do?

In model spacr multiple section views are showing correctly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't See Corridor Section In Section Views Only Existing

Mar 5, 2012

I think I just haven't done this in a while and can't find the right setting.

I have existing sections.
I have section views.
I created a corridor.

How do I add the corridor section to my existing cross-section in the section views?

I can view them in the corridor section editor.  But I should also be able to add the corridor section to my section views, right?

To plot them, do I NEED to do this through Sheets Sets?  I don't have experience with sheet sets yet.

I don't use Civil 3D often enough anymore.  Still learning much about the new interface and pulling a design together.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Turning Off Part And Subassembly Section Participation In Nested Views

Dec 15, 2011

I can't control the section participation of individual parts or subasy in a IDW view. I want to have some parts & subs sectioned in the view & others not sectioned. They seem to follow whatever the IAM is set for. Note that I do not want to control the section participation in each Model from Documentation/Model/Particiapation becasue it will screw up other drawings referencing the models. Besides, I tried it & it stil wouldn't work.

The complicated part is that the view can be a cropped or detail view of a section view that is the child of the parent view-(I had to do it this way to get the view I needed).

is it even possible to individually control the sectioning in parts of nested views?

The RMB controls are available to do so but nothing happens, even if I close & open the file again.

Sometimes the RMB menu/Section Participation shows little filled in squares next to Sectioned & None. If I click on either, it becomes a check mark.
