AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Select Circular Edge Of Hub In Key Generator
Dec 13, 2012
I don't understand the meaning of the second reference in the hub section in the key generator, from the Design Accelerator. and i cannot select the circular edge around the shaft, in the hub.

When I try to create a pinned joint, I can't select the end plane for the vertical bar. Am I missing something? I've used this DA before, but it was quite some time ago and in IV2013.

I've just started working on a frame generator assembly I was modelling earlier this year; I can't seem to modify the base 3D sketch. The feature which looks like the original 3D sketch is now called the "Reference Skeleton" and I am unable to modify it at all.
I am working on a copy of the original part as I "save as" the whole master assembly when I was last working on the model. I don't know if this would have effected anything.

I have a sketch with two circles.I'm placing an extrude the two sides go.I save the item and place it in a assy.Under Feature Priority I select Select Feature Priority.I select the item, right mouse click and want to select 3D Grips and want to use the component on both sides to extend.Only now it is not possible to select 3D Grips.
If I use the same sketch and I extrude one side then it is possible to use the 3D Grips to select the component to extend.

This has happened since I updated to 2012 Professional. When I want to use the measure tool or add constrains in assembly mode, the face/edge preview does not show up in red under Select Component Priority. I have to wait for the select other option to come up to see which face I am on. If I click on the face or edge it will show up but not until I do. I don't remember changing any settings that would cause this. I could have the select other option delay set to zero or I could change it to another selection priority but I don't remember having to do that before.

See attached image file. I can't select just the profile sketch to cut extrude. It only selects the whole face (surface). I have this issue on (2) different workstations and on various parts along the way.

I need to create a mask that will hide the elements as they rotate out of a free-floating window. I have an animation currently that sits in a circular window and plays when the page loads. The screen shot below is from the page in Muse with the .oam file playing. The images are PNGs with transparent backgrounds so the animation plays over the background images.
What I'm trying to add is an iris effect I've animated in Edge Animate. I haven't been able to hide the edges of the vanes in the iris during animation. I've tried to cut and paste code that I've found on this forum and others but I don't know much about coding and I haven't had any success. This screenshot is shortly after the animation starts to play as the vanes rotate out of the window:
Basically, I need to mask the iris animation to keep the images from showing outside the circular frame. I've found that the clipping tool in Edge only does square or rectangular masks. I have a PNG that I can use as a mask but the coding has really got me flummoxed. The mask:

This is something I recently wanted to do, but found that the clipping in Edge Animate only allows us to make a square or rectangle shape. I'm pretty disappointed by this because technically you can make a circular, or elliptical, clip shape using HTML5 and CSS3. Also, the same is true for masks. I would love to see this as a future update in Edge Animate because I can see a few more instances where I would want to use clipping, or masking, in this way.

I need to place a circle selection around a ring shape in a gif graphic and then delete the background outside of the ring shape. The gif I am working with is a square shape with a green background and on that is a white circle shape with lettering going around it and a small pic inside the circle shape. I want to only use the white circle shape with the text going around it and the pic inside and discard the green square background appearing outside the ring.

I'd like to know the alternatives in 3ds Max to these popular tools:
1-When you have selected an edge loop, let's say, on a plane, how to select the polygons inside that loop? At the moment I'm using the split tool as a (very bad) workaround.
2-When you have selected some polygons, how to select the edges on the "boudndary"? (kinda the opposite of the above) At the moment I'm using the detach as element and border selection as a (very bad) workaround.

I'm working on a UDK level for a college assignment.
I want to create a circular shaped elevator with a circular fence around it that's roughly half the size of an average sized character standing on it. I then wish it import this as a static mesh into UDK.
Here are 2 sketched up designs of the elevator, what I want to create.

I am very new to 3DS Max so I would prefer a list of steps to follow to create this elevator with a a fence,

This sheet metal part has two bends, and was created with a lofted flange feature on the XY plane:
It was then cut by two circular profiles on the XZ plane:
When the flat pattern is created, it seems to work just fine as long as the diameter of the circular cut is below a certain value. Once the diameter is increased beyond this value, the flat pattern returns a cryptic error and does not compute:
I know that the bend geometry does NOT pass through the bend axis, so I am left guessing at what the real problem is. I have attached the part. The part currently has the parameter called "Tank_ID" set to 500 in. To see the error, change the value of this parameter to 600 in. For me, the flat pattern breaks between the values of 512 and 513 in.
Why does the flat pattern work at 512, but not at 513, since there is no significant difference in geometry?

I am currently trying to model a multi cavity mould tool. The cavities themselves do not follow either a circular or rectangular pattern.I have modelled one of the cavities using a revolve internal to the tool. I have also sketched out on the upper surface centre points where I need the cavities to be.
I was hoping I would be able to copy the cavity feature, select a base point and then use the centres from my second sketch to place the cavities.
I don't seem to be able to find this option. The copy and paste feature will likely work but it is hugely long winded positioning each cavity individually. Any method I might be able to use to model such a part?

I have modelled a disc, which has 6 cylindrical extrusions in a circular pattern on the disc surface. I want to change the number of occurrences (the "placement") to 9 but the "OK" button is disabled. I get the preview od the 9 occurrences, but it will not complete the command.

While using the frame generator's "Trim - Extend to Face" command on short members, the wrong end of the member is being trimmed. Is there a way to choose which end to trim on short members?

I created a 12-sided polygon shape in the sketch mode. I created one line, fully constrained it and then used the circular pattern to finish the shape. Why can't I extrude the shape?
I have attached the file. It's a pretty basic shape. I don't understand why it wouldn't work...

I need to know what sketch is associated to either a "Rectangular"or "Circular"array. This is so I can filter out sketches that are not repeated in an array.
Here is my code so far (Circular Array).
Dim oCP As CircularPatternFeature
For Each oCP In oDef.Features.CircularPatternFeatures
THIS IS THE TROUBLE LINE If sketch = oCP.Parent Then
Set oCP = oDef.Features.CircularPatternFeatures.Item(oCP.Name)
[code]........
I have a simple test part containing an extruded disk (Sketch1) and 8 holes on a pcd (Sketch2). I only want to array a sketch if it is arrayed.

I want to arrange these outer circles in a corcular pattern at equal distance and at equal angle from each other without using circular patten feature in assembly tab. How do I do that.
The reasomn I dont want to use circular pattern in assembly tab is if I do that then, I cannot change color of each outer circle separatly If I change one color it changes color for all of these whcih i dont want.
I want to have each outer circle of different color.

In a weldment assembly i place a symmetric, circular part, but later i want to drill holes in it, and i am afraid that i will accidentally rotate it.
Can i place a constarint that prevents it from rotating? there is no such possibility.
I can ground the part, but i don't like it since if there are modifications they might not be applied (i don't have experience in grounded parts)

While using the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern feature in Inventor, sometimes I want to extrude (join) or cut the drawings that I made (augmented) with using circular pattern feature, rectangular pattern feature. in this case do I have to choose all the augmented members one by one (for instance I make 42 augmented members), it can take a lot of time. also after applied any of these features I can't use trim feature, can I ? but sometimes using the trim feature after applying the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern can be necessary.

We have a drawing with multiple layouts and active viewports in them. For some reason we are unable to select some of the viewports so that we can resize them. we can see them we just can not select them. I do not see any settings that would affect this.
I checked to make sure the layers are all on and thawed - i am not able to see if the viewport is locked since I can not select it .

For some strange reason i'm suddenly unable to select more than one entity just by clicking with my mouse.
for eg if i select a line and try to select a second one ,the first automatically is deselected.
i'm only able to select multiple entities using the" cross windowing" or 'fulyl windowing' an entity.
this is only a recent occurence and i suspect i may have inadvertently pressed some key.

I am having a similar problema than Kari's except that in my drawing there are no Filters defined (it only says "All used layers" and that's it). I am using AutoCAD 2010.
The problem is that I can't select the viewport with the mouse cursor. I have to say though, that I can select them with QSelect.
Also different is the fact that I can see the border of the viewport, which is in the Defpoints layer, which is not frozen or turned off. In fact, none of the layers are frozen or turned off. It's only that I can't select it with the cursor. I can selct everything else in paper and model spaces

I'm running Inventor 2013 professional and I want to design a steel structure for stress analysis. But I can't find any DIN H-beams (HEB, HEA in accordance to DIN 1025) in the "insert frame member selection".
Isn't it possible to use DIN H-beams in Inventor frame generator? Can I add my own parts to the library for stress analysis?

Coming from a solidworks background, i frequently use weldments, or Inventor's equivalent - frame generator.
Wondering if there was a solidworks 'end cap' equivalent.
[URL] essentially a weldment driven and generated part which doesn't need much thinking about.
