AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Find Suitable Modeling Method For Part
Nov 28, 2012
Please see attached image (I have tried to attach the part file but file size is to large to upload). I have created a sheet metal part, then converted to a solid component to utilize the bend tool. The actual part will need to overlap at the ends and will be joined using spot welds. I would like to be able to illustrate the overlap in the inventor model if possible but how to achieve this.
Before I call it a day and revert to AutoCAD or sketch this into a IDW,

Is there any better method to find the overall size of a part model? I tried Range Box method and that gives some inaccuracy if the model have loft feature and fillet on that. But if I use GetExistingFacets the size gives more accurate. At the same time in a round part model with a cut, the GetExistingFacets give inaccuracy and range box method gives better result. Below is the X, Y, Z sizes of the two models with the above mentioned methods.
Round Part (Part1)
Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 129.934196472168 x 126.422719955444 x 25
Measured with Range Box method = 130 x 126.514225996919 x 25
Rectangular Part (Part2)
Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 300 x 300 x 30.0000286102295
Measured with Range Box method = 300 x 300 x 30.4094903224854
find attached part models which I used.

I am working on creating a new part file Template. Any useful and productive iLogic functions those are already available.
A while ago, I had seen one that would simply triger when part was checked in or saved. It would check if the material feild was utilzed or forgotten at Default.
share if there are any good iLogic functions that we might benefit from.

As CAD administrator at my company, which is in the process of implementing Inventor/Vault, I am quite sold on the Layout Modeling/Multi-body part modeling functionality that Inventor supports. Among other things I believe there is a large payoff in assembly stability and simplicity. However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies. URLs....

I have found that if I use the drop-down to select a new part file, it does not use the default (and only) part template in my templates folder. I know this as there are several settings that do not match. If I click on the icon to open the new part dialog, it displays my templates (part, assy & drw) and creates the new file based on those accordingly.
Any setting that needs to be changed to correct this behavior?

I got a macro job for creation the drawing for a part. I got a lot of problem.
1/ The first one is move view:
I already create a view (e.g. oIsoView), now I want to move it to the left.
I find the DrawingView.Position method, how can I use this method? I try many time, but it's not successful yet.
Do I need to use the SelectSet method??????

I have an assembly with 10 parts in it. We use many assembly features at the assembly level (Revolve cut, Extrusion cut..etc). How to find the mass difference of each part by comparing at its parts level and its assembly level.

If I want to find part which is inside another part or assembly, which means no matter how I turn camera, I always cannot see that part.
Does inventor has this function? Or is it possible to develope by .NET API?

I set up our company log which gets embossed on most parts as a sketch block in an .ipt. The .ipt contains nothing but the sketch block. To use it, the designer only needs to derive the Logo.ipt file into their part and then use the scale setting to set the derived block to the desired size for that part. The result is a scalable set of line geometry that can easily be used for extrusion or emboss that is standard for all users. It works beautifully, that is until you try to use it in a sheet metal part in 2012.
For some reason, when this same part, which works perfectly in normal parts, is derived into a sheet metal part an error pops up stating that, "Selected part does not have any geometry that can be derived." Say what?
I was able to find a workaround by directly copying the block into the sheet metal part, but you no longer have the ability to go back and scale it if needed. Even more strange, when the block was copied over, it could not be deleted from the new part.
Is this just a bug with 2012? Why does it work in a normal part but not sheet metal?

I have created the part based on piece of standard angle taken from library. Now I want to make a mirrored copy of this part by Component-Mirror.
Inventor does not let me do it with standard part.
The question is: How I can transform a standard part to normal one, I mean I could get rid of belonging to standard part? Making a copy does not work. The only way is to derive and mirror this part but I wish there could be easy way.

I have a multi-body part and want to find the both faces which divide the bodys. The first face I pick with the "SelectSet" command.The second one the program should find on its own.
If I pick a boundary face, it should give an error.
One attempt is to create a point on the first face and use the "LocateUsingPoint". But is there a more elegant way for this task?
(Unfortunately there are little examples of the topic multi-body parts.)

Why can i use lines from a 3d sketch to constraint a part to a skeleton base part?
I have attached a example where i try to constraint the tube.ipt using 3D geometry lines of the part Layout_3d_sketch.ipt in the assembly teste.iam, but i'm unable to select any lines from that file.
Why can't i use this 3D sketch lines in a skeleton base part?

I have a client that is trying to use the Cable and Harness feature, but receives the following error:
"The Cable & Harness template was not found. The specified location for the project is:

Please verify that the template file exists.
He has Inventor installed on his D drive, along with most of his other programs. OS, etc are on the C drive. I have verified that he has harness.iam and a Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl in the following location for Inventor 2013

I could not find Round Perforated Plate style / appearance on Autodesk Inventor 2013. Maybe it called "Perforated Metal 01 style" on previous Autodek Inventor version.
I just found Oblong Perforated Plate as attached.

I created a template part, turned it into an I-part and published it successfully as a Frame Member.
The custom member was published into a custom library that is read/write. I was forced to create this library in order to publish the part.
When I go to use the custom profile with the frame generator, I am able to find the custom member in the dialog but when the frame generator tries to generate the part, I get this error message:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred during inserting Frame Member(s)
[WARNING] Insertion of frame member(s) failed
[ERROR] A frame member could not be created. The template file for Unnamed GIRT-2 could not be located in the Content Center library.

The company I work for has a large number of Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts. To reduce the amount of time needed to create both Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts, I use the Derived Part icon. I create a Left Hand part, use the derive icon with mirroring on and create the Right Hand part. While the Right Hand sheet metal part gets created, the Right Hand part will not allow me to create a Flat Pattern.
what steps must I follow to create a derived sheet metal part that I can make a Flat Pattern with?
