AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic For Converting Dimensions Imperial To Metric Form

Jul 29, 2012

ilogic for converting dimensions imperial to metric form in sketch, part and assembly level

I have one task in this total models(parts and assemblies) having imperial dimensions but customer wants total dimensions in metric form with rounded value.

mean while all the dimensions directly convert to metric form dimensions are having many decimal places but customer wants ronded value like for example <1.5 is 2  and >1.5 is 1  like this. one more example is 2.56 is 3 and 2.46 is 2 like this.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Enter Imperial Dimensions Into Metric Drawing

Oct 18, 2011

I am using 2012 and i would like to enter my dimensions in imperial into a metric drawing with autocad doing an automatic conversion. So let's say i write this:

12'-8-1/2"

Autocad has to take it like that into the metric drawing then, he has to convert this to 3873.5 mm. Is there a code i can put into some autocad file to make this software  work like that?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Convert Units From Metric Mm To Imperial Feet / Inches

May 2, 2013

I received a .dwg file from S. Korea with dimensions and units all in the metric mm and I need the units to be in feet and inches. Is there a command to switch dimensions and units to imperial feet and inches? 

Rather than changing units in command UNITS Inches and Architectural, and SCALE 25.4, is there any other way to switch metric to imperial systems. Scaling somewhat does the trick but, provided dimensions remain in mm.

AutoCad :: Converting Imperial To Metric / Metric To Imperial

Jul 12, 2012

To convert from imperial to metric multiply the length, in inches, by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch).

Example: 3 inches converted to millimeters is 3*25.4 or 76.2mm.

To convert from metric to imperial multiply the length, in millimeters, by 0.03937 (the number of inches in a millimeter). For greater accuracy use 0.03937008.

Example: 100 millimeters converted to inches is 100*0.03937 or 3.937 inches.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Passing Down Assembly Features To Part Level

Dec 11, 2012

How do you save features added in an assembly to the part? For example, if I add a hole in an assembly, presently I cannot see it when I open the part. It seems like a very basic function, I'm not sure why it doesn't do it automatically.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Holes Made On Master Assembly To Appear On Part Level?

Oct 7, 2011

I am fairly new to Inventor and have recently just finished drawing up a machine made of many parts and sub assemblies and then made into one master assembly. Due to the nature of some hole positions i decided to draw some holes directly on the Master assembly thinking it would then change the original sub assembly/part file. Apparently not as i found out making technical drawings. 

How i can rectify this so i dont have to re-draw all the holes on part level and keep my constraints in place?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Visible Sketch Dimensions On Face Of Part?

Jan 8, 2013

I'm making a part and am adding features to it and using my existing sketch dimensions as my guide. The problem is that when there are sketch dimensions on the face of the part, they are difficult to read. I'm forever dragging these dims to the side in order to read them, it's just a bit annoying. I was wonering if there was a setting that made them show up as well as they do when the aren't sitting on the face of my parts. I've attached a .jpg of what I'm talking about. notice the dimension on the left side and the bottom.

I'm looking for an easy way to extract the information of max box dimensions (X, Y, Z).

When we want to send one part, or assembly all over the world, we need those dimension. I think, it is something that inventor already have it but not in an easy way like a phisical propertie that you can include in your BOM. Is this something for autodesk to implement?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraining A Part To A Sketch Point In The Assembly Environment

Aug 7, 2012

Unfortunately, it's chock full of proprietary customer data, so I can't share the parts or the assembly.  But I can pretty well explain what needs to happen, and I've attached a JPG that shows a bit of what I'm doing.

I need to design a bracket to hold an RPM sensor at a certain gap to a spiral bevel gear.  I've got a huge assembly model (non-Inventor) from the customer, as well as the model for the sensor.  My plan is to start a master IAM, insert the customer assembly, insert the sensor and constrain him, and draw the various hardware I need around the sensor.

So I start by making a work plane that matches the bevel angle and is in a location so the end of my sensor will be flush to that plane.  Create a sketch on that plane, then project 2 relevant axes to create the appropriate "origin" from which my location will be based.  Place a point on one line, at a certain radial distance and constrain my point.

So now I've got a point and a plane that are where I want my sensing face and my centerline axis to be.  What now?  I was thinking that I'd create a work axis "normal to plane through a point", but this workflow isn't available in the assembly environment.  I can't constrain a solid to a sketch point, so I really don't know what to do at this point in order to put the part where I need it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule To Switch Units In Drawing Between Imperial To Metric

Apr 22, 2013

I would like a few rules to be triggered once the new drawing template is opened.select sheet size, I have been given a rule that already works, basically the rule selects a border and title block based on sheet size selection.

trigger = iTrigger0iLogicForm.Show("BorderChange", FormMode.Modal)iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueIf Parameter("BorderSize") = "A0" Then ActiveSheet.ChangeSize("A0", MoveBorderItems := True)ActiveSheet.TitleBlock = "MJTD A0"ActiveSheet.Border = "MJTD A0.
[code]....

I would also like a rule to let me annotate in metric or imperial. this is where I require assistance. I am not sure the best way to achieve this rule. My programming is very basic.I have found some links here, but I can't seem to make them work in the drawing environment. Also these rules seems to change the units of an already created .ipt.

Rule #1 Link

Rule #2 Link

I am just looking for a rule to select either .in or mm from the styles library(i think) , before I even place a base view. Regardless of the original units used to make the model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Frame Generator Part To Its Own Assembly

Feb 11, 2013

Inventor Pro 2013.

I would like to make the part named "Frame_base" an assembly on its own.  see the attachment.  I am new to Inventor and I thought I could demote it but the selection is grayed out.  The main reason I want to do this is because I would like to create a 2D drawing of it with a parts list to give to the welder.  This will be my first drawing and maybe I'm doing this wrong.  It appears that I need to bring in the base view file, and I don't see a way to do that unless the frame is its own assembly.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Switch Between Imperial And Metric

Nov 20, 2013

When in a drawing how do you switch between Imperial and Metric. It seems like it would be such a simple process? When I try to go to Options > User Preferences > Scale List Edit and change it, I then hit apply get back into options and it is switched back to Imperial ? I am basically trying to get this scale list format 1:10, 1:20, etc. instead of 1/4"=1'0", 1/2"=1'-0", etc.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Switched From Metric To Imperial

Jan 11, 2012

I have been working on a drawing for a client in the Metric template, everything displayed in metric, measures in metric, etc.  Then this morning when I opened the file, the measurements have switched to imperial.  The profile is still the metric one, and when I enter a value for a line length it is clearly using metric because it goes where I expect it to go, however the numbers displayed onscreen are in imperial.  Is there an easy way to get this to switch back to displaying in Imperial?

AutoCad 2D :: Scale Metric DXF File To Imperial

Jun 20, 2013

I'm working on a project for work where we were given DXF files for a drawing. So I attached this file into AutoCAD at a scale factor of 1. The drawing was originally drawn in metric at 1:200. However, I am working in an imperial file with many other drawings in it as well. How can I scale this drawing up to the right scale in imperial in model space?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing Units Imperial / Metric

Sep 13, 2013

We have some machines which seem to work in imperial maesurement a dn others which work in metric.  it is frustrating when trying to insert a map block that is metric and is inserting into a drawing which is set up as imperial.  We have tried using the - dwgunits to change to mm, and then using insunits , insunitsdef source and insunitsdeftarget to 0, this works when the PC is currentyl in use. when shut down and restarted it reverts back to imperial setting.

Am i right in thinking this is something that needs to be done at the software installation stage to make it default to metric everytime?
