AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotating In Assembly Background?
Sep 26, 2011I have a part that I am inserting into an assembly, the assembly consists of a 2D AutoCAD Architectural background. I want to align the part, with the background itself, so I just need to turn it 90degrees. When I do a rotate, it keeps rotating it on a 3D axis, including when I use my grip edit, and use a line to align for the new rotation.
How do I quickly rotate a part so that it's not rotating on a 3D axis, it just rotates along the x,y axis?

Jul 10, 2012I'm looking for the best way to create a separate assembly out of various component parts in an existing assembly so that the whole thing can be placed in an assembly as you would a part, I know it's possible to demote components within an assembly but are there any other methods similar / better ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Has Double User Request At Inserting In Assembly
Sep 18, 2012We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Tube And Pipe Assembly Styles Don't Translate Into Other Assembly Files
Feb 9, 2012I have encountered a problem with the Tube and Pipe styles.
As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor
When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.
Steps I've taken:
Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam
Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work
AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Interior Volume Of Assembly By Subtracting Assembly From Block
Apr 23, 2012I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it. Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted. Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?
Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Assembly Constraints With Parameters From Parts In Assembly?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Sub Assembly From Parts From Main Larger Assembly?
Oct 31, 2011My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Translate Assembly Component Using ILogic / Offset From Parent Assembly Origin
Nov 9, 2011I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: CoG Needed For Each Sub Assembly In A 2 Part Assembly On An IDW
Oct 3, 2013I have a two part duct fire damper assembly. The IDW has the combined two part assembly, which I know how to turn the CoG on, so that it can be dimensioned. The problem is each piece will more than likely be hoisted separately so I would like to show the CoG for each piece, not the combined master assy.is there a way to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Crashing When Assembly Is Placed
Apr 12, 2012I'm working on some vb.net code which updates the sizes of parts within sub assemblies and then selects the correct sub assemblies to place and constrain into a larger assembly.
When I run my software all the sub-assemblies should open, resize and then get placed into the larger assembly.
This code works up to a point. However I'm having some trouble when one of my sub assemblies is placed and constrained into the larger assembly - Inventor crashes.
If I step through my code line by line, it works fine. I think that this is because Inventor has more 'time to think' about what it is doing between placing the sub assembly and constraining it (updating the parts i guess).
After discovering this I wrote a line in my code which uses the vb.net stopwatch class to wait 20 seconds between installing the part and constraining it, this allows everything to work without Inventor crashing.
What I'd like to know is if there is a command i could use in vb.net which would allow me to wait for the sub-assembly to be ready to be constrained rather than waiting 20 seconds? Although this works I don't think it's the 'correct' method of doing things.
I'm using Inventor 2011 SP1.

Jul 30, 2012How to save an assembly as a new file, in a new location, and not have it update when the individual parts are modified? I need to be able to track the revision history of an assembly, and be able to revert to an assembly, as it was, at any time. I tried pack and go, but the sub-assemblies remained parametric, and reflected the current state. I would like to have file a1.iam, file a2.iam and file a3.iam, all using the same part or sub assy files, and not have them change when I create file a4.iam.

Dec 8, 2011I use the "M" measure command a lot, Is there any other good ways to dimension in assembly? I often need to know the distance between the edge of a part and another based on a fixed view, which if the two edges are straight and on the same plane works ok but I need to measure the height of two parts which are on different planes or the distance between arcs and curves as these tend to always work from the centers?
I need a command that will basically fix the plane to the current view to get the required dimensions, is there anything available?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly With Two Cylinders
May 28, 2012I'm having two assembly issues. I've attached the parts that I made and a little sketch to make it clear what's going on.
First, you'll see two curved pieces attached to a cylinder. I can't make the wholes on the side line up and mate. I'll get mates but they're in the wrong places. The two holes on the side of curved bar should meet up with the two holes on the straight cylinder.
For the second one, I can't get the smaller armpit piece to fit inside the larger, black piece. I've gotten so it seems snug but then one little part of the "plastic" piece sticks out the top of the black piece. Hopefully the drawings make it clearer, but I attached the parts as well.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Emboss In Assembly
Sep 20, 2012Is there a way I can use the emboss feature in an assembly? We typically laser mark during final assembly and would like to show that as a step in the assembly instructions.
I typically create a sketch with the text and extrude(cut) in the assembly. It works fine for flat surfaces, but cannot do it for other surfaces.
The one way I can think of doing it would be creating ipart with text and using it in the assembly. I would rather not do it this way. Is there any other way to accomplish this with out altering the components (.ipt)?
