AutoCAD Inventor :: Turn Off Work Plane Visibility In An Assembly?
Jul 16, 2008I have an assembly that was generated by Pro/E. It opens fine, but there are roughly 1000+ planes that are all visible. Is there a way to easily shut these all off whithout having to do it in each part?

Sep 9, 2013I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part. I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.
How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?
Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?
I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.
The attached jpg shows the intersection in question. I circled it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Extending Axis Or Plane In Assembly

Nov 14, 2011I'm a playground designer and we're currently in the process of updating our systems to Inventor. Over the next few years I'm going to be working on many different assemblies all using the same parts and sub assemblies, many of which need to share the same ground plane.
I'm wondering if there is any easy/quick way to make certain parts (not all) automatically constrain/flush to the ground/XZ plane when I place them?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Plane In Assembly Linked To 3D Geometry
Sep 24, 2012On one part, I have a bore hole drilled on a curved surface so the hole is actually an ellipse.
Now the other part I am trying to constrain together is the pipe that will be welded into the bore hole; so that is a simple circular pipe.
The issue is that the pipe has to be inserted 0.25" above the interior of the bore hole to allow for room for the weld. In order to do this I have tried to create a plane attached to the 3D ellipse and then constrain the pipe to be 0.25" above that plane. The problem is I cannot seem to create a plane attached to the 3D geometry; I cant even find a way to attach points, or pick the center point of the bore hole.
How to create a plane on 3D geometry and link it to said geometry. I'm using 2012, if that is necessary information.

I know there are the static methods of using slice graphics and section view however I'm looking to create a live section where I am able to constantly move the plane through the model thus altering the live section as it appears on screen, similar to the way a model can be viewed in Tekla with the cut section command.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Constrain Section View To Work Plane
Jul 2, 2013If you edit a section view sketch you can project model edges in the sketch and use them to constrain the section view line. However I cannot seem to project an included workplane to the sketch. For a particular application I really need to use a workplane because the model is actually a dummy that gets replaced by a vb macro. So any projected model edges will loose their reference.
I found out that I could use a sketch in the model to create the section view. In a model sketch it is possible to project work planes, so this looks like a good solution. However I do prefer the flexibility that you have when you use a drawing sketch.
How to use a work plane to constrain a section view, other then the model sketch method explained above.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing The Source Of An Offset Work Plane
Jan 9, 2014I have a vertically rectangular frame with internal frame elements at two separate levels based off offset work planes.
The lowest internal plane is offset up from the XZ plane and the highest internal plane is offset up from that lower plane. In hindsight I should have based that second plane also off of XZ, or off the height extents plane at the top of the rectangular box.
So that top third section of the box CAN be sized with a little math, but if I change the lower 2/3 of the rectangle it's going to want to follow that lowest internal plane (which I can tweak again to get what I want)...is there a way to just change the source of that higher internal planes source plane? Like switching it to XZ or the height extents?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Work Plane Based On Pattern Controlled By IPart Table - Cannot Build?
Apr 4, 2013I have an ipart that will has the length and a quantity of patterned features controlled by a table. I've created a work plane that I'll be using when I take this part into an iassembly. The problem is that the features I used to create this work plane (midplane between two parallel planes) do not exist in (2) of the (3) members...so it gives me an error message. I've tried adding the work plane to the table, but 'exclude' isn't a drop-down (and typing it in doesn't work). How to make the work plane "inactive" for those particular members?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Automated Assembly Based On Work Geometry
Aug 13, 2013I'm trying to setup an assembly based on a complex 3D sketch. In simplest terms, if I have a sketch for the perimeter of a house, I'd like to add instances of a 2x4.ipt at specified locations automatically. That's not necessarily every 16", but rather wherever I put a specific geometry. I'm imagining two work axis or sketch lines, one along the perimeter to determine the location of the 2x4 and one perpendicular to determine the direction the 2x4 points.
In actuality my sketch won't be a rectangle, but rather a complex 3D spline, that's why I'm hoping to get some sort of automated process. And the current design involves somewhere on the order of 1500-1800 2x4s. Making the sketches and geometry will be nightmarish enough, I'd prefer to be able to breeze through the assembly portion.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Constraint Limits Don't Work In Upper Assembly
Nov 1, 2011I have a linear slide assembly, for which I've set up limit constraints in the open and closed position.
It all works well, with one being able to drag the slide open and closed and the parts stopping in the correct positions.
I then inserted 4 of these assemblies as sub assemblies in a parent assembly.
I then constrain another part to the 4 slides.
I want to just drag on this part, to make the slides move to open positions.
This is to check kinematics etc.
One cant do this. You can only drag one slide open, by activating that slide in the model browser.
Any way to make limits work properly in upper assemblies?
