AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Interference To Determine Cut Shape?
Mar 1, 2013
Is there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.

how to change the color that the "Interference Analyze" tool identifies with??
I recently converted from 2010 to Inventor 2011 Pro. 2010 had a Dark Translucent Red which was extremely useful. 2011 has a Light Translucent Red which is extremely difficult to make out ( I have a massive assembly). Identifying these fouls/interferences is vital to my job.
I tried Styles Editor, View Styles, Application/Document Settings, and even part manipulation! (bah!)

Is it possible to isolate the interference detected by Inventor? I am thinking something trough the API or ilogic?
When we analyze interference we get a long list from inventor and sometimes is hard to see it. I am thinking maybe to Isolate the two parts that interfere.

I have a rack and a sprocket, in inventor, is there any command which can prevent the interference between both all the times.
my actual problem is while driving the motion constraints, sometimes, no pin of rack is in contact with sprocket, so i want to delete the motion constraints and want to rotate the sprocket to move rack, just as actualy it happens. Is t here any way to do so?

We just migrated from Inv 2011 where I had set the letter A as a shortcut for Zoom All. I tried setting it up again and ran into an issue where two commands were tied to it with the other command being Interference Analysis. I can't find interference analysis in the keyboard customization section and am wondering if there is a way to get rid of it's association with the letter A.

When I run an interference check on an assembly, any of the threaded holes that have fasteners in them shows interference. I guess that the problem arises from the document setting "Tapped Hole Diameter" is set to minor.
To solve the problem with the interference, I could either change the modeled size of the hole or change the modeled bolt diameter. Either one causes problems in other places.

I'm trying to figure a "fast" algorithm to obtain the amount of material (in linear distance) between 2 points within an assembly i.e. if I draw a line between any two points P1 & P2 in an assembly, what is the length of this segment that goes through material and what is the length that goes trough empty space?
For now I'm creating a thin cylinder as a new part, place it with one end at P1 and the other end at P2, calculate the interference volume of this body with the rest of the assembly and divide this number by the total volume of the cylinder. but has some problems:
1. It is VERY slow, and I want to call this function lots of times.
3. Is not accurate due to the finite diameter of the cylinder.
2. If the assembly has some interferences, the result is wrong (accounting same volume more than once)

I can't find how to change the color of the interference solid that is created during interference analysis. The default is red but unfortunately our housings are primed in red so I decided to color my housing assembly red without realizing that was going to make red highlights difficult to spot.

When you use Inventor command "Inspect" -->"Analyze Interference" command to analyze interference of two component, it not only gives you the interference volume, but also highlight the interference volume area to exactly identify it, as shown in the attached screen shot.
We want to implement this interference analyze using API. But the API sample (in AssemblyComponentDefinition.Analyze Interference Method) only gives the way to highlight the two interfering component occurrences and the interference volume, but there is no way to know where they exact interfere. So how to highlight the the interference location as in the inventor command? or does inventor exposes this function to API?

Is it possible to determine which nodes are expanded using the API?
I want to make some changes to the node information in an assembly browser but as there are many hundred parts so I only want to do the operation on the expanded nodes to keep any delay to a minimum.

is there any tool in inventor that can determine size of louver or quantity of louver base on heat generated?
we are designing a sheet metal box. we need to find out how many louvers we need.

If an assembly contains unresolved file references, when I try to open it Inventor allows me to try and resolve this with the Resolve Link dialog. But if I choose to skip all for whatever reason, once I've opened the assembly there's no easy way for me to see which sub-assembly/assemblies contain the missing reference. I have to expand folders, patterns, assemblies, etc. until I find the one with the little question mark next to it. I prefer to work with unresolved links in this way sometimes because it just makes more sense working with the model than a bunch of file paths and file names in the Resolve Link dialog. But it's nearly impossible with large assemblies where the unresolved links may be burried deep.
Is there a way to list or somehow see which assemblies contain the unresolved links once I've already opened an assembly?

Is there any way to easily determine if any file in a user's workspace is checked out from Vault?
I'm building an Inventor addin to clear files from a user's workspace. Before i delete any files I need to know if the user has any files checked out. I was hoping there was an easy way(inside of Inventor) to programmitically check if a folder contains any checked out files.

I am trying to determine the moment of inertia of an L-section using IV 2009. By selecting Tools>Region Properties of a closed loop profile in the sketch environment the moment of inertia is given, however the principal axes through the centroid are at 45 degrees to the toe of the angle (see attached image). I want Ixx and Iyy where the X and Y axes are parallel to the horizontal and vertical toe respectively.
Coincidentally, AutoCAD orientates the principal axes the same when viewing the Region Mass Properties of a similar Region.

I want to engrave the text 'TEST' all the way around this clonal object. When I use the emboss tool, selecting the option 'wrap to face,' it gives me an error message that the "face selected is not tangent to the profile plane."
I am using a work plane that is offset from the XY plane. I included a screen shot and the file that I am using (Inv. 2014)

I'm working on a drawing which requires me to rotate 3D rectangles until they are leaning against each other like dominos. Because they are standing on a curved path only one top corner of each will touch the adjacent rectangle, and because each one is shorter than the last the point at which they touch is different every time. There are over 40 rectangles.
I have no problem picking the correct axis of rotation for each but I want to avoid time-consuming calculations for the angle of each or the reference Point for each. Ideally I'd like AutoCAD to rotate until it recognizes that the solids are interfering.
Is there a command or a LISP for this?

I have run the interference check on pipes in my pipe network but I am not sure the results are accurate. I have set the 3D proximity distance to 1.7' in the attached example and Civil 3D found the pipes in interference with each other, but I'm not sure how this distance is calculated. This distance doesn't appear to be the pipe clearance measured along the perimeter (2.4' in green) or the inside diameter perimeter (1.8' in green) of my structure.
The distances measured directly between the pipes on the inside of the structure doesn't match the interference results either. I have set the pipe elevations and slopes to the same numbers in this example so I can measure the distance in 2D.

I have just put some photos together with transitions and a couple of music tracks. It is a n AV file as I wanted to put it back onto tape. Plays fine on the laptop but when I transfered it back to dv tape there was interference on the sound - difficult to explain the sound but like an intermittent spitting sound.

After having made a record of my project, I see and hear a sound interference that looks like "click click click click click click". This often happens when rendering the transition constant gain.Here above render my project, the result and the problem.
And here below the photo of my project not encode, before rendering. occurred since the last update 2 Premiere Pro CC.

Sometime in the past, I've drawn an arc, probably using an old deedplotting program, and imported it into Map3D.
I now have a new parcel that I'm plotting, and need to obtain the tangent of an arc on the parcel's perimeter.
Typically I draw a line, as close to the tangent as I'm able, and then toy with the bearings until I get it as close as I can.
This is a counter-productive means of finding the tangent bearing of an arc, and I'd really like to find a better way of doing this.
Is there a succint manner that I can pull a tangent line off an existing arc?
Using osnap this afternoon I thought I could do it, with the extension, but in testing it later, I found it was off by a good 2 or 3 degrees. While indeed a minor variance, I'd like to find a better way.

I am selecting items and grabbing their DBObjects, and then reflecting on those objects to inspect properties of the object. For example, I might have a DBObject that is actually of type Pipe, Duct, DuctFitting, Line, etc, so I am using TypeDescriptor reflection to handle various cases in as abstract a way as possible.
My first question is this: Is this the smartest way to grab all of the attributes of a give object? Is there another call I can make the retrieve all of the attributes for a Pipe and a Line (to very different types of objects).
Second, when I see a property named Length and it is a double I know it has to be a length and that I can use the units from the drawing. Is there a way to programatically discover this other than the name of the property and its type (double)? In other words is there some metadata I could retrieve about any given property against which I am reflecting, or is there a smarter way to get these attributes which might provided said metadata?
