AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies Display Welded Aluminum For Material In Part List?
Jun 20, 2013In our part list we have a column for Material, ipt's display the material and iam's display blank expect for a few instances that display Welded Aluminum-6061(see attachment). These assemblies are all steel and not weldments. What would cause this and how can it be fixed?

Jan 7, 2012I am looking for a material database with more steel types than the ones that are installed in inventor.
Is there a comprehensive database that I can download and install or do I need to add the material one by one.
Normaly I can just copy a existing steel and just use the existing properites and just change the name but I see a risk of this since in the future I may want to simulte a part and then the material data is not correct.
So... is there a good list that I can download and install??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Customizing Material Database / Adding Specifications
Jan 24, 2013Any way to add a new field into the materials database. We would like to be able to choose the material specification for the materials we use. So we would like to have a field for each of the materials where we could choose the material spec. It would also be great if we could then be able to connect this to our BOM. The second part I know should be able to be done but so far haven't found a way to add the material spec in like we would like.

Oct 31, 2011Ones every three years we have an upgrade of Inventor. In a few months we have an upgrade from Inventor Proffessionel 2009 to Inventor Prof. 2012. Since we often use special materials in our design process we also create/add the new material in the material database. So here's the question; is it possible to copy the material database (special mades) from Inv Pro 2009 to Inv Pro 2012? It would save us a lot of work!

AutoCAD .NET :: Create New Material - Add To Database
Jun 17, 2011I'm having a complete blockout on my attempts to create a new material with VB.NET.
Dim db As Database = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.DatabaseDim tm As DBTransMan = db.TransactionManagerDim myT As Transaction' myT = tm.StartTransaction()Dim tt As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Material = New Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Materialtt.Name = "Mat_new"tt.Description = "New Material"myT.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tt, True)myT.Commit()
It was noted that this code didn't work (which I can confirm):
"Just a guess, but you probably have to add it to the Database in order to use it."
I can't find any way to add this to the database. I'm working with the R2010 drawing format it that is relevant.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Material In BOM -> Not Possible For All Parts
Jan 10, 2013If I need to change the material of all parts in an assembly I find it convenient to do this in the BOM. In the 'parts only' view I add the material column, change the first one and just drag it down like in Excel.
There are however some parts where the material is greyed-out (see attached image) and I cannot change them in to something else. I already traced this to parts which are present in multiple different sub-assemblies. I guess that's also the reason for the blueish/red icon instead of a normal part icon.
If I open one of the sub-assemblies the part is fine and I can change the material.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Default Material To Steel?
May 28, 2012I received a rather large assembly file from a client that was done in Pro E.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Material Change Bolted Connection
Feb 4, 2011I have a problem with the Bolted Connection tool in inventor. When I use it to place fasteners in my assembly everything works fine, i can select the material I want, etc... The problem is whenever I need to change something in it, the fasteners changes to the first one in the list that appears when you click the ... button, which means that I always get the wrong fasteners. The workaround we found was to click the ... button again for all the fasterners, and this has to be done in the right order (start to end) otherwise I will get again the wrong fasteners and to select the fasteners again.
One more thing, I'd like to know if it is possible to have a more user-friendly way to change the bolts in bolted connection. I would like it to be like when you import a component from the content center, with that dialog box. As for now, I have to choose the bolts with their part number while when I import them with the content center, I have all set the key values.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Change Material For The Some Parts In The Assembly BOM
Nov 9, 2013I wish I can open my general assembly BOM and set the proper Materials to my all my parts after migration from 2012 release.
But I cannot change Material for the some custom part in the assembly BOM in the Parts Only tab. Parts refusing to change a Material have special symbol and I guess it means “promoted assembly” – no info regarding these symbols.
I can change any Material in Structured and Model Data tabs but it is extremely inconvenient for the big assembly.
[URL]....
The questions is: Why those promoted assemblies have inaccessible Material in the Parts Only tab?
I have similar subassemblies built in similar way as you can see fro video, but one is treated as promoted assembly and other as promoted part, the question is what possible difference between those is?
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Material Change Failure?
May 23, 2012The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Aluminum Framed Panel Template
Nov 12, 2012I would like to make a aluminum framed panel template that I can enter in the height and width dimensions and then save the panel assembly into it's own unique part#. Right now, when I design enclosure, I will have multiple sizes of framed panel and I typically have to manually change the length and width dimensions for the individual extrusion members, then change the panel size manually. I re-name the new extrusions and panels to avoid file name conflicts. Is there a way to simplify the process?
Like I said before, I will have multiple "section"(SEC) assemblies in each main assembly file.
I attached a zip file with my aluminum framed panel assembly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Settings Change On Import Of FBK File
Nov 20, 2013Recently we have discovered a problem (bug?) with the survey database. We usually import our field data from our Trimble controllers into the survey database (SDB) through Trimble Link. We have been very careful to get all the survey database settings right, so that the data comes through correctly and have been successful up until the last few weeks. We find this a good workflow, where we are able to make edits to our field data (change target heights etc) easily in the SDB and comparisons with Trimble Business Center and direct output on-screen in the controller confirm that our data is reliable. We often have both GPS (long Network RTK vectors from the nearest network base station) and total station observations in the same file.
The issue is that, as the fbk file is imported, the survey database settings change to reflect the content of the fbk file. The "Atmospheric conditions" and "Curvature and Refraction" settings, which I have purposely left unticked (the controller applies these corrections), become ticked. This throws out our heights, especially on the long GPS lines.
We do have the option for a workaround, which involves going back into the Edit Survey Database Settings after import and updating the data in the sdb, but this is clumsy.
This seems to be similar to the issue that was discussed here. However, we have only just encountered this issue in the past month or two, which coincides with when we rolled out C3D 2012 Service Pack 4 across the office. We are planning on implementing 2014 soon, so I have tried it out on 2014 as well, with the same result.
Is this something that others are dealing with too? Perhaps there's some sneaky setting somewhere that I haven't found which locks down the SDB settings preventing them from being changed on import? Otherwise, I think this is a bug.
I am also bracing myself for some comments regarding the dangers of using GPS in the SDB!
