Jan 9, 2013I added another extrusion profile to my structural shapes library, using the same method as the others a few years ago. It works, but the new extrusion now shows up with its profile sketch, start and end planes, and driven dimension visible. The old stuff doesn't (like I would expect). I have all planes in the published part turned off, not marked for export, etc., just like in the old ones. How do I turn this off? Inventor 2012 SP2.
When I open the extrusion separately, the work features to not display. But, the it's also shown as the "default" color not as material. Why does it default to "default" not "as material" like everything else?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Work Axis Where Work Plane Intersects Curved Surface?
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 :: Consumed Work Plane In Sketch 3D

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 Definition - Axis And Point
Sep 16, 2011I very often find that I would like to create a work plane defined by an axis and a point such that the plane is spanned by the point and the axis. But the only possible way seems to be to create a plane through the point and perpendicular to the axis.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Maintaining Visibility Of Work Features?
Mar 6, 2013I went to the trouble of going through my model to turn off visibility for many many planes and axes and points that I did not need to see. I had only a few on that I need. By some flick of the wrist suddenly they are all back on again!! I am now back in a state where I can either see them all, or I hit Ctrl-] and they all go away. I cannot seem to get back to a point where I only have on the ones I want.
So, how do I definitely TURN OFF visibilty for ALL work features so that I can then selectively TURN ON only a few? The Object Visibility tool does not seem to do this. It doesn't seem to do much more than the Ctrl ] or Ctrl / or Ctrl . that I use to momentarily toggle visibility.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rule To Control Visibility Of Work Features In Pro 2014
Oct 2, 2013Is there a way to write a set of rules so that I can switch Work Features On and Off via a Text Parameter.I have an assembly made up of a number of parts used hundreds of times within in various sub-assemblies. If I make a particular sub-assembly 'Invisible' then subsequently 'Visible,' all work features that had previously been set to be 'Invisible' are switched to 'Visible' also.
Likewise if I simple want to set a particular Work Features' Visibility in one particular sub-assembly, I would like to be able to do this via a Text Parameter rather than having to laboriously scroll down the Assembly switching the visibility of features on and off.
At the moment if I turn the visibility of say a Work Plane On in a sub-assembly then all sub-assemblies deploying the same part switch the visibility of that Work Plane on too. Hence I cannot see my work for Work Planes.Obviously the Global Switch under View is of no avail,
So I would like to be able to create a Text Parameter for each sub assembly and in turn each Work Feature with a Yes/No Visibility switch controlled via a set of Rules in iLogic.
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 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD LT :: ATTEXT Does Not Work With Visibility Parameter
May 31, 2012The attached DWG contains a big block with a visibility parameter which can make the red hatch invisible. This block also contains some dynamic blocks which have automatic attributes and it also contains one attribute (value = 7777).
There are some more blocks for testing in the drawing, some have a visibility parameter, some don't.
All attributes have the same name LAENGE.
Now use ATTEXT on all blocks with the attached template. You will get all attributes, but from the big red block you get only "7777".
Now open the block editor and remove the visibility parameter from the big red block and save it. Then use ATTEXT again - and now you will get all attributes from the dynamic blocks.
How can I get all attributes from blocks with visibility parameter?
(I am using ACAD LT 2010.)
Revit :: Create Roof / Floor Using Work Plane?
Mar 28, 2013I need to create a sloped roof. I want to base this roof upon a beam system created using a sloped work plane rather than offset from a level. I now understand that (for some reason) Revit will not create floors or roofs using work planes, but only on levels, and I know that I can create a flat roof on a level and apply slope arrows and adjust the offset height, etc. etc. but that is very imprecise (lots of micro adjustments) and a lot of steps.
Isn't there any way to create a floor or roof using a work plane as the level?
The attached image shows a roof I created "by face" from a box mass element I set on the plane - unfortunately now I cannot edit the outline to get it to fint my non-rectangular roof.
Revit :: How To Change / Set Work Plane While Sketching Path Of In-place Model
May 10, 2012Possible to change/set the work plane while sketching the path of an in-place model? This guardrail extension is an example of where I would have liked to change the work plane while sketching the path because the path shifted planes. I believe you can do this in the family editor, but I could not get it to work in the in-place modeler. What I ended up doing (as an experiment) was to create masses and picked their edges to get the path I wanted. I would love to be able to have more control over the work plane, like defining the workplane by a face and then being able to move it relative to the face selected.
