I am using Inventor 2011. I have recently just dimensioned my entire drawing using only the retrieve command, but now that the angles of my section views have changed the command is not working. In this example you can see section B will allow me to pull up dimensions (not sure why they are not aligned) but section A will not allow to me to pull anything.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI typically have a part file with bunch of sketch blocks as die drawings.I use those for rest of my workflow.
If I want to make drawings of these sections.
Is there a way by which I can retieve all dimensions from the sketch of the sketch blocks (die) on to a drawing.
I know that I can get model sketches but I do not know a way to get the model sketch dimensions.

I am trying to retrieve dimensions from an assembly. The features that I want were created in the assembly itself, not on the original parts in the assembly. I can manually dimension some of the features, but there are others that I need to retrieve. When I retrieve dimensions from the assembly, I am only given the original dimensions for the parts.

I always use assembly models in these drawing and all the parameters have unique names. So in my drawing i want to retrieve some specific dimensions in a view.
I am using Inventor 2012. I have a subassembly that has two parts. I was able to dimension each part by retrieving dimensions. This subassembly also is an iAssembly. The main part stays the same but the second part changes.
My problem is, I had to make the main part an iPart because in one of the subassemblies, the main part has an added feature. After making the main part an iPart, all my dimensions in the subassembly drawing turned pink. I removed the dimensions and tried to retrieve them again but now I cannot. There are many dimensions I cannot manually dimension.
Is there away to retrieve dimensions from an iPart in a subassembly?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBolted connections between two angled surfaces?!?
Is this possible ?!! Ive been working in various CAD packages and have found this to be an issue every time. Say for instance you want to bolt through a wall onto a tapered flange, how can you select a non parallel face as the start or finish surface?
I need to accurately position a point on an angled plane, but the question is how?
I've generated the required planes, the axis to revolve the angled plane around, and of course, the angled plane itself. (See attacment)
I now need to position the point coincident to the generated axis/plane and the angled plane. I have nothing to refer to so I can't project any geometry from any face. (The vee-shaped recess is generated after the slot is extruded and its position is the resut of the breakout against the OD).
How can I do this???
I am trying to make an angled tray in sheet metal by am having some trouble getting it to work out. I was unable to find an example of this type anywhere. I tried doing it as a sheet metal part first then gave up, created a standard part and shelled it. My problem is ripping the corners.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIm new in Inventor and I have a problem with creating a hole through two parts beacause they are a bit angled. Im creating the holes part by part and Im using the work point method. But unfortunately this is the result:
Im wondering if there is any other methods so I can get the holes coinciding?
I need to create a adaptor to go from one 96 hole array pattern to a smaller 96 hole array pattern. The pattern gets smaller in both X and Y. This would go from vertical hole to angled hole back to vertical hole. One or both of the vertical sections could be removable to allow this to be a drilled part. The center section would be a solid block.
Since each hole will be at a different angle (in two different planes) it seems like I would need to create a separate plane for each hole and extrude from that plane. In addition to being error prone, this would take a large amount of time. Is there an easier way?
It would be straightforward to create a block with points for the large 96 hole array on top and the small 96 hole array on the bottom. Is there some kind of point to point method of creating a hole at an angle? A construction line could be drawn point to point but is there a way to make a hole from that?
I am trying to verify the bending strength of a solid part. Need to calculate the section modulus on certain cross section. Don't know how to do it using inventor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past we filled in our changes, we did on the part, in the iProperties of the IDW. In the IDW we use some Custom iProperties for this. That's not usefull because you want this data in the 3D-model. Now I have written some code to automate this, which works really great. This code works in the IPT as well as the IDW. But what I want to achieve is: When my IPT is the active document, I want to read out the iProperties from the IDW to check if there is already filled some of these properties, because I have to deal with 'old' documents as well.
So my basis question is: How can I read out iProperties from an IDW into the IPT. I have found lots of solutions which go the opposite direction, IPT -> IDW. I want IDW -> IPT.
