AutoCAD Inventor :: Decimal Precision For Retrieved Dimensions

Sep 21, 2011

I have had a problem with retrieved dimensions decimal precision. I set the precision to 1 decimal place in the ipt but when I retrive the dimension it set the precision to 3 decimal places. I then go to the precision control in the drawing and change it to 1 decimal place.

If I then go back to the ipt and edit the dim, the drawing precision then jumps back to 3 decimal places. (This is particular to the decimal precision for the tolerance of a dimension). How to sort this out?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Rotate Text On Retrieved Dimensions In Drawings

Jan 30, 2012

I frequently use tolerance and fits when modelling and retreive them to use them in drawings. The text on these dimensions is always horizontal .  Any time I have vertical dimension on drawings (e.g. several diameters in a stepped bore) the horizontal text  takes up way too much real estate.  e.g. 18.0000 g6 (17.999 17.998)

I would like to align the text to the dimension lines (i.e. text vertical in this case) In Properties Rotate is greyed out.  Is there a way to keep my retrieved dims and have them aligned with the dim lines in the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Dimensions To Features Outside Of View?

Mar 13, 2013

I'd like to add a dimension from a feature in a detail view to a feature outside the view, exactly like the dimension circled in red below. I cannot find any information on how to do this, but I suspect it is pretty easy!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Dimensions To Detail View

Feb 24, 2012

In my assembly drawing I have been able to add random dimensions anywhere I needed them.

Except for the detail view.  How come I can select the two end points for my dimension, but it wont let me place it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Get Dimensions To Default Close To The View

Mar 8, 2012

I have dimensioned hundreds of drawings with the Ordinate Dimension command in Inventor 5.1. I'm now using Inventor 2011 and I'm having lots of issues using this command. When I first set up the dimensions, I can't get the dimensions to default close to the view. They almost always want to be on the very edge of the title block. I don't think this is a sttings problem, because occasionally they will lock to where I want them. What am I doing wrong?

The first attachment is how they go on their own. In the second attachment, I have manually moved them, but at 1 dimension per move, it's slow, and also hard to keep the all aligned.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Placed View Of Assembly In IDW Drawing - No Dimensions

Sep 21, 2012

Recently when I have placed a view of an assembly into an idw drawing, then try to dimension distances between parts it gives me strange looking dimensions, or no dimensions at all.  It looks as though the dimensions are going from the edges of each part at different angles, when I want them to be parallel to the view.  I just want the dimension from a line to a line in that view as though it is 2d, but it is acting like it is still in 3d. I do not know if their is a setting that will change this or not.

I attached a screen shot of what the dimensions look like.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Move Multiple Dimensions From One View To Another In Drawing

Jun 5, 2012

I found that I can right click a dimension in a drawing and select "Move Dimension" which then prompts me to select an alternative view in which I want the dimension placed. Is it possible to control-click multiple dimensions once to do this all in one fell swoop (e.g. I decided my view is too busy and want to move dimensions to a newly created detail view of that area)?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserted Hole Dimensions Not Matching Feature Dimensions

Mar 16, 2012

I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.

I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole

Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.

How do I get the 1/4" to show?  I have selected the feature and still get these results.

AutoCAD LT :: Dimensions Not Visible In Layout View

Jul 26, 2011

The problem: I add a dimension in Model Space, but it is not visible in Layout. No problem with drawing items, only dimensions. After some "floundering" (not an official AutoDesk term),  I see the dimension in Layout. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, or how I manage to get the dimensions to show again.

AutoCad :: Dimensions Not Visible In Front View

Aug 9, 2012

i have a problem of net being able to view dimensions in the model space in the current view. i was not paying attention to what view i started the 2d drawing in, but right now it is in the front view. the dimensions lines gets put on a plane that the program has decided and wheather i try to dimension above or below it, it goes to that line. i have also noticed that for some unknown reason the 2d drawing gave itself depth. it is a very large drawing and i have tried to clip parts of it to put on a new drawing it defalts to the front view and i still cannot dimension on it.

I am using arch 2009, and the program did get corrupt during my work and had to reinstall. i have reinstalled several time with the same result. i have tried arch 2011 also with the same result. i think there is a setting that somehow changed and i can't figure out what it is, or should i chalk this up to a program malfunction and start from scratch in a top view (which works fine).

AutoCad :: When To Add Dimensions To 3D Object In Isometric (or Similar) View

May 26, 2011

When I add dimensions to an 3d object in an isometric (or similar) view, the dimension lines get placed way off screen, and the leader lines are projected onto the x-y plane.

Additionally, when I try to add lines to an object that is far from the x-y plane, the mouse position responds to the line's location as if it were drawing on the x-y plane.

Do I have to continually make custom UCS coordinates just to draw in 3d without hassle? There are other times when this does not happen (perhaps only when my 3d object is very near the x-y plane...

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dimensions Randomly Takes Scale Of View Port

Jun 21, 2013

At times when I am dimensioning a dwg in paperspace one of the dimensions will assume the viewport scale when the dwg does a regen. Its as if the DIMLFAC will be set to something other than 1but its only for one or two dimensions. I check the DIMLFAC var for thje dwg and its set properly to (1). Since I am dimensioning in paperspace i have the DIMASSOC set to (2). 

As you can imagine this is a huge problem when I send the dwg out for fabrication. What is the problem and how can I stop this from happening on random dwgs to random dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Pass Break From Sectioned View To Separate Isometric View

Jun 27, 2012

I started with a Left side view of a part and created a sectioned view right down the middle so you can see the insides from another view. the part is pretty big so i used a Break to shorten it to fit the page. I also placed a smaller and separate isometric view of the same part and want this view to inherit the same break. How can I do this? If I go into the display options of the iso view, all the cut inheritance options are grayed out and can't be clicked. I've seen this done before, but i'm sure i missed a step somewhere.

After upgrading to Inventor 2014 we notice that the graphics do not work properly, and that the overall performance in drawings and modelling bad compared to 2013.

Any workaround regarding disappearing views?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Section View As Isometric View

Oct 29, 2013

I have a long shaft with parts mounted on. i want to section it and show the parts. i don't need to show the whole length of the shaft.

I know i can crop the isometric view, but this way i will not see the key hole which is on the other side, it's hidden.

If i make a section it 's in an orthogonal view only.

I want to make the section view, but later to transform the sectioned view to an isometry. is it possible?
