I have multiple assemblies (sub -assemblies) that im putting together into one finale assembly and everytime i unhide a sub-assembly, ALL of the sketches in it apear visible so then i have to painstakenly go throught every sketch and hide it. It takes for ever!

Sep 28, 2011I'm trying to create an external involute spline (ANSI B92.2M) Fillet Root Side Fit 26.9mm x 1 mm x 26 teeth x 38 mm long using the spline generator with Inventor 2012. I created a test shaft"M-182-AMA.ipt" that is Ø26.9 mm x 38 mm long with 1 mm radius on each end of shaft.
I use the following steps:
1. After creating component "M-182-AMA.ipt" I select Design tab>>Power Transmission>>Involute Spline.
2. A window appears that has the caption "Involute Splines Connection Generator".In the Dimensions section I choose "Splines Type: ANSI B92.2M - 37.5 deg, Fillet Root, Side Fit, 26 x 1.00 x 38 x 5H/5h" and change the Length to 38 mm.
3. In the Shaft Groove section I use Create new, and I push the Reference 1 button that turns blue, I then select the od feature from the model and I get an error(see attached pic "error1.jpg).
I changed the 26.9mm od to be 27mm and it still gave me the error.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Trim A Spline
Jan 26, 2012Here I enclose file Cam_Profile.ipt, this is a spline curve made from an Excel matrix with 670 points in 3 decimals accuracy (VBA editor)
Extruding is not possible because of self intersecting path.
I want to trim both two free ends from the intersection and also close the intersection for extruding this profile. However ....., without displacement of any current point in the perimeter of the closed spline!
AutoCAD Inventor :: Spline One End Of The Shaft
Nov 18, 2010I have created a shaft and splined one end of it successfully. The shaft is the same diameter at both ends and I need to spline the other end as well but when I try, I get the following error messages, Cannot create iFeature. Not possible to create shaft groove. Splining the first end went without a hitch but Inventor absolutely refuses to spline the opposite end of the shaft. The shaft diameter is correct for the spline I have chosen (same as the major diameter)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Spline With Given Points
Nov 7, 2013I have a group of Points coming from a step.file. So I don't have their coordinates, excel list or anything else. Just the step file. Around 100 points. There is a line between each 2 consecutive points.
Is there any way to select all the points and create a complete spline? Or even to select all the points and create tangent arcs between all of them?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Editing And Manipulating A 3D Spline?
Jun 19, 2013In Vers 2013, IV finally added the ability to manipulate a [3D] spline by dragging the control handles (way behind the curve on this one).
However, dragging "a" control handle causes several of the other control handles to shift as well. Puts a big limit on the ability to customize yout path. Splines are supposed to be one of the unrestricted free form tools for modeling.
Is there any way to turn this "feature" off ? I need and should be able to have discrete control on each control handle. (I had this way back in SW)
Also, there is no 'axis' for the control points unless you count the const lines that connect the control points and I don't. I should be able to select an axis and be able to shift the direction and level of influence of each side of the control point axis.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotated Spline Becomes Unusable
Jan 14, 2013I have a spline that runs through about 70 points to make the perfect line. But when I rotate the sketch the spline turned from green to black and is no longer recognised as a boundary. I then have to delete the black line and re-draw. How do I keep the spline green and usable?

Jun 21, 2012When attempting to break the link on a projected spline, the spline type reverts to what appears to be the legacy AutoCAD type of spline (see image).
Is there a way around this other than drawing a new spline on top of the projected geometry and working with the new spline?
The idea was to project the shape, break the link, then ,ove the shape to a new location in preparation for a lofting procedure.

Jan 13, 2014I am totally new to Inventor. I have a lot of experience in Illustrator and Photoshop; what I want to do is possible in those programs, but I have not figured out how to do it in Inventor.
Essentialy, I want to make a closed path from a spline and a straight line— this will become a custom shape that I want to turn into a solid. Is it possible or should I just use the split feature?
In the end, I am trying to make a solid that is similar to a section of this necklace, minus the curved portion that connected them to the necklace, itself.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Alternative Packages Not Recognising Spline
Jan 23, 2013I am drawing an airfoil profile in Inventor for use in a CFD package. I have a system of points which I am plotting and connecting via the spline function and extruding them to form my blade profile. However, when I open the drawing in the CFD programme, it is recognising the spline as a series of straight lines instead of one continuous enclosed shape. The CFD programme I am using require a negative (i.e a solid drawing of where fluid is flowing). I have attached the inventor file I have created.

Aug 9, 2012I have a client who is replacing a large fleet of machines located in premises throughout the country. In theory the replacement program should be straightforward..... however machine dimensions have increased slightly, new service access doors have been added and user control switches and indicators have moved. I have Inventor Assemblies of the machines to show the door and body changes, but not the complex user interface panel (buttons and switches). If I could only import a sketch of the interface panel, it would look great in an Inventor drawing and I could dimension the all important position of components on the interface panel.
I have PDF drawings of the fascia panels which I can import to Adobe Illustrator and save as a DWG. When I look at the DWG in AutoCAD Mechanical, all looks well. When I import the drawing to Inventor part sketch however lots of spline control vertices appear. I cant delete the control vertices in AutoCAD or the drawing falls to pieces when imported to Inventor.
How then do I hide the vertices from my sketch in Inventor. Am I doing things the hard way? Are there shortcuts to importing PDFs in Inventor?
Inventor 2013 sketch mode is excellent as I only have to change one dimension to scale my sketch. I can also stretch/manipulate the sketch to make up for any errors in the original PDF.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Spline A Surface From Points Imported From Excel
Jun 27, 2013I am trying to create a 3d surface by importing points from an excel file. I have been using "import points" in the 3d sketch mode, and checked off the box that says "create 3d spline." But this just causes Inventor to freeze and crash. My excel file had about 2000 points, all of which lie on the surface I want to create in Inventor.
Should this method work in theory, and do I just have too many points?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Curved Sheet Metal Over Spline / Multiple Curves
Jul 11, 2013How to curve a piece of sheet metal over the outside curved edge of the attached part. I can do it the old fashioned way but was wondering if it could be done in sheet metal which would give me the flat pack automatically (that way there is less chance for errors). There are several of these baffles joined together by a spine and the sheetmetal will eventually go over all of these, and have a few modifications to shape the end profile.
The outer curve is a spline which has changing radius and hence to use a contoured roll would be rather difficult and time consuming (there are also some flat sections at each end of the curves as well).
Autodesk Inventor Professional Student 2013 is the version I'm using.

May 7, 2012While tracing a tree image using splines for a school project i have run into some problems...I am creating a pattern for a plasma cutter.
When i move the points of my spline sometimes it causes the whole spline to randomly move around and twist and turn where there are no points. Also sometimes when i open the drawing some of the spline lines are out of place while the spline points have not moved.I have tried to constrain all the points but it turned into a mess.How can i stop this from happening?

Apr 25, 2012I want a dimension to be the square root of 32, so I entered:
Sort(32 LU)
Now, the square root of 32=5.656854...
But the dimension I get is 2.227...
So, I try to play with the numbers a little to decipher what Inventor is doing. If I enter:
Sort(32 LU)*2
I get 11.314...
2.227*2 does not equal 11.314
However,
(√32)*2=11.313708...
This is the first time I have used equations that are more complicated than basic math.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Disable BOM Of 3D Model In DWF
Nov 12, 2013I'm writing a small tool for Inventor 2012 in VB.net, using the TranslatorAddIn, to export a drawing and its 3D-model to DWF. Unfortunately, when I export the drawing of an assembly, the BOM of the model is included as well, wich I would like to disable.

Any way to access the properties of the included 3D-model?

I use ESC many times and it happens too often when i press F1 instead of ESC and then the whole help opens (either from hard drive or it opens my internet browser and loads up a page), its really annoying.
I tried in. "Tools" > "Customize" > "Keyboard" and sorted it with "key" but there is no F1 there.Also i changed category to "help" and to my suprise there is not a single key assigned to any of help command.
Then why still F1 opens help and makes my life harder than its already?

The issue is the premium seats have an issue when you turn the visibility off on a part in the IPN you cannot turn it back on. This is on all the seats of the premium. There is no issue with Ultimate.
The service pack did not fix the issue. Now I know Autodesk there will never be a fix for this unless I up-grade seems to be the Autodesk way in the past 3 years.
