Is there any way to set features to be invisible when create sketch after those 3D features so as to make the sketch more easy to see?
View 3 Replies View Relatedit's possible to create a derived part using only some of the features of the base components i.e. I've got a funny shaped part with a bunch of holes in it, and I need another part with exactly the same shape but totally different holes (location and size)I know you can do this with the different solids in the part (only use some of the solids) but I haven't been able to figure it out with features, if it's possible at all.
I could probably create one base part (just the shape) and derive both parts from that, but then I've got a part lying around doing jack.using IV 11.
In the past I created a movie and put it onto a DVD. It was created with another software program called NCH VideoPad, if I recall. It worked fine. I loved the DVD's special effects and various other screen choices from its main menu. It has numerous effects on the initial title screen, and included 3 links at the bottom which allowed users to select different scenes, and more.
Is there someway that VS X5 PRO can do the same thing, but within the video, and not by creating a DVD? I know that description is rather vague, but since I can't show you the DVD movie, I don't know how else to say it.
I wish there was some way to have VS import the DVD movie I created, so that I could use it and modify it.
I'm wanting to load a png file into photoshop & use a customised menu bar or perhaps a plugin to supply some specific image information as I work. The image is a game height-map. The pixel hex value represents the height of the terrain.
I wanting to load my map (image) into PS & display a new menu bar containing this information in textboxes & the like:
1. The hex value of the pixel the mouse is hovering over.
2. The corresponding height related to that hex value. This would be a customised calcuated field (textbox).
3. A combo or spinbox with height values, so that you would select the desired height to pain onto the map, and the pain fill tool would automatically select the corresponding color to pain based on custom calculated conversion of height to correcponsing hex (color) value.
Do I need to write a plugin? or maybe ctionscript with a custom toolbar?
I am working in Arch Desktop 2011 and need to make a wall for a upper floor and roof line with different plate heights. See the attached drawing for explanation.
What I'm trying to do is create an upside down "V" wall to fill in this area. This is an as-built drawing for an existing house with an addition.
I want different features on and off with iLogic.
I have a text parameter with a choice menu of 1,2, and 3
This I want some features on and off.
If I pass the parameter I get a message: No feature found with the name. Mvg Jos
Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...
My flat pattern of a sheet metal part fails when I added strenthening Press ribs to the middle of the part using an iFeature.
I know Inventor is not capable of flattening embossed sheetmetal but is there a way to still get the flat pattern & ignore the formed areas?
Seems to me I was able to add some model features in the past like bosses, extruded holes KO's etc & I could still make a flat pattern.
I know I can use derived part to do it but that adds complications.

when in simulation, if you suppress a feature is it totally taken out of the simulations workings?
I.e. if I was working on a project like some weighing scales and I had a load of objects on the scales and I then suppressed some of the objects, will the scales rise up a little to counteract the reduced weight?
I am working on a standard part that has different configurations depending on user inputs into a GUI. Once the user enters all the required parameters, the part is in its final form with all unnecessary features suppressed. I am looking for a way to automate the delete of the suppressed features using a rule and i Logic before the user saves the file.
The main reason for doing this is to reduce the file size of the part once it is saved because this same template will be used for hundreds of parts and I don't want to waste unnecessary storage space on suppressed features.
I am making a multiview drawing with isometric of a certain sheet metal part. Due to manufacturing reasons, they have to make the part longer than necessary to get a bend in it then I will have them shear off the extra. Is there a way I can show the multiview and flat pattern WITH the extra material and show the isometric WITHOUT that extra? In the model I remove the excess with a cut but I don't know how to suppress a feature for one view and not another.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to hide an extruded cut in one view of my .idw. I have tried supressing in one view but this does not work. I need to show a before and after of this cut in the same model. I can not make two models because this is a controlled document.
View 5 Replies View RelatedInventor 2010 / I'm finding myself scrolling up and down the browser bar quite a lot to get to the Solid Bodies folder for example, and I was wondering if it was possible to group features into folders or something to make the journey quicker, with the benefit of also being able to just organize things a bit better.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a way that suppress the flange features of all the panels that will be insert in the assembly so i can suppress all the features at ones in a assembly and don't have to do that for each panel separately.
I have a assembly with parameters and i have a part with no geometry but have linked the parameters from the assembly. In my panel part i link the parameters to the part with no geometry.
When i use the parameter in the assembly to suppress the flanges that works the way i want it. But when i insert the panel part into that assembly it doesnot work.
I am trying to create an assembly. I want to copy the small threaded holes and position of the holes from the face of the large part and copy them to the circular part.
I want to establish a relationship so if the hole positions change on the larger part they will also change on the attached circular part.
I have been given the task of importing and editing an IGS sheet metal part. cannot get a feature tree.
Its a pretty basic sheet metal part just need to add few flanges, change hole/slot size. Its for a college project so I have to do it rather than just redraw the thing. I would also prefer to use inventor than solidworks (if I still have it on my laptop...).

Using Inventor 2014 for some very simple (just a few component) models. When I use Studio to render an image, two objects are shown with a "cross" on them. The parts are nothing but extruded circles--nothing to them, so it's not clear to me why there are lines on their surface.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to "skip" features i'm creating a pattern by?Meaning, similar to this option in Proe and Solidworks, is it possible to choose some of the holes i'm copying, so they won't be created?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a panel with holes,cutouts and silkscreen
In the drawing the panel is detailed to show hole locations and sizes on one sheet and in another view @ 1:1 the silkscreen is shown.
The silkscreen is a feature on the panel, text either embossed or extruded .005" outward. The feature is colored (filled).
On my drawing all the silk screens show up like un-filled fonts. This really bothers some people and my task is to fill the fonts.
Also i need to get the silkscreen by itself and (suppress/invisible) remove the other features from the view.
Suppress will not work as the feature i am trying to show will also be suppressed. Visibility of features is not an option.
Q. HOW CAN I GET THE FEATURE SEGREGATED AND SOLID IN MY DRAWING? but still a feature of the part. i.e. i don't want to create an assembly with a panel and a silkscreen.
How do i suppress features in a view on the drawing?
I am using the Student version of Autodesk inventor 2013.I was able to use the simulation, stress analysis features for a period of 10 days from the day of installation but its not working now.I have tried reinstallation also. I am using a registered version only.

How can i break this link, which was made by the projected geometry?
Even when i select the projected circle, right click and select Break Link, they still behave the same.
want to delete holes (see picture), but also to keep other features below hole.

I'm now having an issue accessing the features in an assembly, the error message is attached and the following is the relative code.
The error line is between the 2 Test Messages:
'Create a Component Definition relative to the Part Document
Dim oFeature As Features
Dim oAssembly As AssemblyDocument
oAssembly = oCompOcc.Definition.Document
MsgBox("Test 1")
'Cycle through all features in the Part
For Each oFeature In oAssembly.ComponentDefinition.Features
MsgBox("Test 2")
The attached IPart works wonderfully for all sizes, shows no errors or recovery alerts.
The problem is that once it is published, the ORB end changes for any size 1/2" (8) or under.
It just turns into a Hex head, I don't understand what the problem is.
I'd like to add a dimension from a feature in a detail view to a feature outside the view, exactly like the dimension circled in red below. I cannot find any information on how to do this, but I suspect it is pretty easy!

I am trying to extrude a figure off of one that has already been sketched, and the wrong lines keep moving when I change the dimensions.
Is it possible to suppress an assembly feature in a drawing view?We make some components in an assembly oversized and then do a final machine step after welding or brazing. We show the completed assembly in the drawing but would like to see the assembly prior to machining in some views.If I suppress the machining features in the model it affects all views. Can we suppress the features in just one view?
View 6 Replies View Related- when modelling a part file in Inventor, only the dimensions we set (dimensions we give a name and a value), are listed in the parameters table. This way, its possible to export the information listed in that table.
- the information listed in the parameters table is based on sketches and features dimensions, as obvious.
So , my question is: is it possible to access the information (dimension values) contained in a feature (or a sketch) without setting a specific name or value to it?
For example, in the attached pictures, if a rectangular form is drawn and the dimensions are sett, these will be listed in the parameters table (see attached "pic1" and "pic1 - params").
But, in the other hand, if the same rectangular form is drawn, but this time without setting any dimension, the parameters table will be empty, obviously (see attached "pic2").
After this, i can surely presume that Inventor saves or keeps this information somehow, somewhere, without having to set dimensions or values.
So, my question is: is it possible to access sketches and/or features information without setting this values?
I'm crating a macro wich would allow me to select multiple parts in an assembly and then calculate the length of each part. The parts are tubes wich are made of a sinlge sweep.
I started from the example truesweeplength, and built from there.
Now my problem is accessing the sweepfeature from the assembly.
In the part enviroment i use this:
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Dim oDef As PartComponentDefinition
Dim osweepcount As Long
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Set oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
osweepcount = oDef.Features.SweepFeatures.Count
The sweepcount is simply to check how many sweep features are in the part.
This works fine in part level.Now from assembly level I first create an obecjtcollection from all the parts I selected
Set oOccurrences = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
Then I try to acces the first occurence
oDoc.SelectSet.Item(1)
But then I'm stuck. I cant find the way to acess the features of the selected part.
I am currently designing a heat exchanger and want to adjust the number of water channel using iLogic. The number of channels to be active is based on the channel dimensions, and is calculated in my excel spreadsheet, but up to a maximum of 19. This is stored in the parameter "no_channel". Each channel is a seperate feature (extrusion) and named from "Channel 1" though "Channel 19".
My idea of doing this automation was to have iLogic suppress all the features, and then doing a closed loop to unsuppres the features I want active:
Feature.IsActive("Channel 1") = FalseFeature.IsActive("Channel 2") = False...Feature.IsActive("Channel 19") = FalseFor i = 1 To no_channelFeature.IsActive("Channel"(i)) = TrueNext
However, this gives me the following error:
Error in rule: Number of channels, in document: Radiator fin side.ipt
Feature.IsActive: No feature found with the name: "h".
