AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating IDW Template

Jan 6, 2014

I'm recently using inventor a lot. But now IM try to make a .IDW template with my own line styles and thickness and stuff. This is what I do:

I open an exciting IDW file. I go to manage and click style editor. Then I create a new style. Called test style.  I make sure I activate my new style and I go to layers, where I change the line weight from 0.51mm to 0.25 mm (example)

I save my change and close style editor... After that I save my copy as template (called test 6-1) and close the drawing. I open inventor and create a new file. Select the template I created. I get this style conflict.... I don't fully understand this error... How can I fix this problem?

When my new template opens, I check the line weight by the style editor but the weight detente change... Its still 0.51 mm.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating 3D PDF Files

Jun 7, 2013

I have searched this forum for a way to create 3D pdf files directly from Inventor or other "free" software but have not found anything that works very well. Today I found an answer, it is by using the Bentley Viewer.  I had to "Save Copy As" my Inventor .iam file to "AutoCAD DWG Files.dwg". Then open it up inside the Bentley Viewer, go to the "Print pdf" button and select the "Print to 3D" button. It will even show some colors.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A New Template

May 23, 2013

Is there anything wrong with creating a new template this way:

1. Create a new model for a new client.
2. Create new drawing based on the standard template.
3. Bring in model views and create new title block, notes, symbols, etc. specific to new client.
4. Save drawing as a client specific template in my template directory.
5. Open new client template and erase all drawing views but leave notes, symbols, title block, etc.
6. Save.

The question is, doing it this way, will it cause problems? Will the drawing views somehow still be linked to the template? Should I erase the drawing views BEFORE saving as a template? Is there a better way ti create a template?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating PDF From A0 Sheet?

Aug 9, 2013

I'm having the constant problem, with IV crashing when trying to export an UK/EU A0 sheet. If I drop down one sheet size to A1 the export to PDF works with out a problem.

I've got the latest SP and fixes installed, so I don't know if it is IV or Adobe XI Pro at fault. Plenty of memory, paging file set to min of 8192 Max of 32768 so there plenty of space, 8MB Ram. Windows 7

What I've tried is save the file as a different name, file is NOT compressed on the HD, the HD is not faulty I've ran several test & checks, the folder & file are not corrupted, no viruses reported after deep scan, so now I'm stuck here wondering why IV will not export an A0 sheet to PDF.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A New Part Out Of Two Different Ones

May 14, 2012

I have to design a new part based on joining two of an already made ones. I thought it would be as easy as a "union" command in AutoCAD... but couldn't find anything that resembles that, and I really need them to be a joint part, since I will be printing them in a 3D printing machine. how I can do that in Autodesk inventor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Boundary Patch

Jan 31, 2013

I'm having problems creating a boundary patch on the attached model, Its a Y-Pipe joint in 3 planes that I'm attempting to split in half. I've used a silhouette curve to create a centre line in a 3d sketch then joined the ends together, however when I try to select the lines to create the boundary patch it only allows me to select some not all of the lines.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating ICopy Tools

Oct 9, 2012

I want to make some icopy tools to suit my needs, i did the tutorial i've found on AUGI "an icopy how to" and then i did a glass panel using the technique i learn there. Everything works fine until i place the icopy on a different plane than the x, y plane.

when i place it in other plane it the icopy behave in strange way. I had this problem since the first icopy test i made and i can't find why it doesn't work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Non-manifold Topology

Dec 6, 2013

Lets say, I have an Extrude feature built on a Rectangle as Sketch Profile. Is it possible to programmatically edit that Sketch, add one line in the middle dividing the Rectangle and replay the Extrude, so that I get Rectangular solid and a Partition surface in between?

This was not possible as a user, but programmatically if its allowed to turn ON some Non-Manifold flag and allow this. If allowed, this probably may not be a single Extrude feature doing both Solid and Surface, but could split into 2 Extrudes.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating WorkPoint In Assembly

Nov 11, 2013

Simple question: How do you add a WorkPoint in an Assembly? I was hoping to find something like:

dim pt as new point ( 0, 0, 1)
oPartDef1.workpoints.add(pt)
   ~OR~
dim pt as point
pt.setlocation(0,0,1)
oPartDef1.workpoints.add(pt)
[code]....

It seems like I need to make a geometry (i.e. thisApplicaiton.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint(0,0,0) ) but I cannot find this feature for a component Occurence.  I don't want to make a "Global" point, I want to make a point "Local" to a particualar part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Nest For Part

Mar 19, 2013

I have some parts that I need to make a nest for. I get the part from a customer and it's not in the most usable shape. It's just a bunch of surfaces. I can't change anything from it. I create a square block and place both the block and the part into an assembly. In the assembly I place the part in the block how I would like it to go. From there I create my whole mechanism around these nested parts. What I need to do is cut the shape of the part into the block so that I can bring the block into a CNC program and mill it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Dimensions On Sketch?

Dec 17, 2012

One of our senior designers seems to think there is a setting when creating a sketch that will automatically dimension.

So if a straight line is draw and 5 mm length is entered a 5 mm line will immedialtey be created, he seems to think that you can then immedialtey Dimension said line??

I can't find anything, settings wise?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Flexible Assembly?

Jan 11, 2012

I am wanting to create an assembly that I can manipulate and `pull about'.

To describe what I have and I want to acheive try and picture this very simplistic layout :-

A length of hose 50 meters long.

Another length of 50m long hose 2 meters directly below it.

The 2 lengths of hose rigidly tied together at 2m intervals with a small diameter solid bar and clamps around the hose.

What I need to acheive is :-

An assembly showing the above items in a long straight 50m run.

(I have no problems with creating this assembly.)

From there though I then need to be able to create an `S' shape, with the hose staying at a fixed radius where it is rolled to form that shape, both hoses must stay inline with each other at all times.

If you can imagine how a hose would react as you rolled it in reality I want to try and replicate that within my assembly if it is possible?

I realise I could create one long flat assembly then create another seperate assembly showing it in it's rolled up `S' shaped state but that is not what I am wanting.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Wind Turbine

Oct 14, 2013

For my first project we had to create a portable wind turbine, so i've designed a turbine (sketch included as an attachment).

I've worked  a little bit with inventor in the past but my experience is unfortunately not so great and i stumbled on creating the ' blades' for this turbine. I also included my ipt ant iam files.

- additional info-

one blade makes a total curve of 120 degrees
one blade has a width of about 80 mm
the length of the tube is 700mm
the diameter of the turbine is 300 mm

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating 3D Schematics From 3D Drawings

Jun 7, 2012

Basically, our company produces 2D schematics of plumbing/electrical layouts as the result of the engineering department's calculations. We are now starting to produce 3D drawings of the assemblies for the benefit of space planning and eventual fitting.

As time goes by, we are realising it may be beneficial and time-saving to create the 2D schematics 'on the fly' from the 3D drawings as we find that often a change to the 2D schematic is required to accomodate some physical constraint only discovered when working in 3D.

Is there a good workflow which enables the production of 2D schematics (using all the standard symbols) from 3D Inventor drawings?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Error When Creating View In DWG

Nov 29, 2012

I had created som drawing before I had to make som adjustments to my model which made it a deal larger. Then i went back to my drawings. Everything was perfect exept my arrangement drawing where I have used the master wiew from my model to make a drawing. When i returnd, this was locked. I'v deleted the wiews in the dwg file and I'v tried to make som new ones but the master wiew becomes invisible in the dwg sheet. Ewery other wiew works just fine exept this. I guess it's because it is a large file, but how can I fix it?

My computer has these specifications

Intel Xeon 2,40GHz
RAM 16GB
64bit
Nvidia Quadro 4000

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Wire Mesh

May 14, 2013

How best to go about creating a "wire mesh". What i have tried is to create a solid flat (2mm thick) piece of material. I then draw a diamond shape on the surface & extrude it so as to give me a void.

Then i use the rectangular pattern option. The problem is that when i try putting in the amounts of the "holes" i need to brings up  message to use optimized compute. I do that and then when i click to crate all the "holes" it comes up with a pattern failure error.

What other way can i use to create my object.
