I have several parts designed "car line" in their respective parts.
I would like to simply add them to an assembly in their respective axis positions.
Obviously "place" drops in in an arbitrary position to then be "Assembled". Not what I am looking for.
I was looking for a copy/ paste function between part / assembly but there seems no way to paste into an assembly.
Although the part, marked in blue in the picture, has, to my opinion, degrees of freedom, i cannot rotate it round the main assembly axis, the Z axis.
Maybe it's connected to the 2 holes underneeth it, which i projected?
Or maybe because of the axis i made through the M24 thread?
I have found an strange behaviour of derivin part from assembly when position repre is used.
There are lost or moved some part. It seems that this is another bug in Inventor 2013SP1.1.
There are two cases, that should behave the same, but they don't.
First program works normally. Inventor generates a circular Pattern with the given Part.
' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis of the Assembly
[Code].....
Now, the second case, I try to take the Work Axis from a Part, that is placed in the Assembly,
but Inventor does not generate the Pattern. If I set the Axis visible, or even rename it, it works. But the AddCircularPattern does not work.
' Part referenced in Obejct-Collection-Object
o_ObjectCollection (is defined)
' reference an Axis from Part, placed in Assembly
[code]....
Can you extend axis or planes in assembleys? I have a laser and I want to extend the axis of it to show the path it takes. I can extend it by clicking and dragging the end in the part, but not the assembly... is there a workaround?

I want to have one subassembly - red rectangle with screw/bolt or whatever you call it, but i want to change position of screw if necessary (this screw needs to be a part of kit/subassembly) but I do not want a situation when this new screw position is the only reason of making new subassembly.
I tried Position in representation but I can assign constraints only to master level.
I have a part and I need to scale it in the Z-axis only. It is impossible for me to rework the base geometry directly.
I have made some attempts to figure out how to do this on my own but all have failed:Thicken/OffsetCopy Object + Move Bodies + Combine (wouldn’t let me create a solid with Copy Object)Rectangular Pattern + Combine (works but not the desired result. adds a constant offset to the part, not % based, humongous model size)Derived component (uniform scaling only, prefer to modify the original file for file structure reasons)
I would like to create a curved surface from a flat part. I have designed the 3d part on the XY plane and would like to have it curved as if placed on a sphere.
I have attached a picture of what I want to achieve. The part is curved in both the X-axis and Y-axis. Unfortunately I cannot attach the part file due to proprietary rights.
At first I used the Bend Part feature and created a bend on both sides on one axis.This was done by sketching a line in the center of the part, which is symmetric in the x-axis and using Bend->Sides. Then I sketched another line which is symmetric in the y-axis and this intersects with the first line used for bending. I have found that I cannot create a second bend using this new line.
Dear Sir, In particular project, when I insert part in Assembly file, It is inserted as a Tube & Pipe run part. so that It is not Grounded automatically. What is the settings by which I can insert as a normal part in assembly file ? I have attached herewith the JPG file also.

I would like to simplify this assembly into one seamless part for FEM calculation:The assembly consists out of parts that, in reality, will be welded together. Due to their form, there is no way to place them exactly onto each other, therefore there are slight gaps between the parts:
Now when I try to merge the assembly into one part via "simplify" --> "create simplified part" and choose "single solid body with seams between planar faces merged", Inventor does not fill these gaps (even though it displays only one part in the bottom right corner of my window). Unfortunately, the remaining gaps brings "contact" problems in the FEM simulation.
how to close the gaps and really merge the assembly into one part?

Part created in assembly does not update to part file.
I have a part that has protrusions. When i mate that part up to another part that second part needs to have cutouts/holes to receive those protrusions.
i mainly use it in sheetmetal parts. and use the rectangular protrusions on de contour to mate up with corresponding cutouts in the other sheet. this works with positioning and also makes for a nice weld spot/area.
But also for making holes to accommodate a mold pin used in custom punch dies. I want the intervening part to receive a corresponding (propperly tolleranced) hole automatically. Much like a bolted connection does.
same for parts like circlips. i want them to automatically generate the seat in the part it's mated to. Rather than using the axle generator.
Ofcourse one can place the parts and do an in assembly interpart projection and go from there, but i want the part to generate the (predifined) modification to the other part. It would save time and also reduces problems as the parts are moved about or even removed.
I have an assembly with 10 parts in it. We use many assembly features at the assembly level (Revolve cut, Extrusion cut..etc). How to find the mass difference of each part by comparing at its parts level and its assembly level.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

If I want to find part which is inside another part or assembly, which means no matter how I turn camera, I always cannot see that part.
Does inventor has this function? Or is it possible to develope by .NET API?
I can't seem to find how to use the Inventor 2012 API to project an entire sketch profile from one .ipt to another .ipt file from within an .iam file.

Why when I mirror a part in an assembly the mirrored part gets a new part number? I want to mirror only the position of the part which is always the same part. Is it possible to do that in Inventor?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI derived a part and added extrusion.
The original part is rotated at an arbitrary angle and i want to align the origin planes differently.
The part isn't symmetrical about the YZ plane, you can see it in the sketch of extrusion 1.
Now i started a new sketch, sketch 24, and the part is positioned like in the picture, with the YZ plane not vertical.
Is it possible to automatically project the x-axis, z-axis or z-axis onto the sketch plane?
I.e. every time you open a new sketch the corresponding lateral and vertical axis will be projected onto the sketch.
how to make up an air bellows assembly which moves depending on the position. As opposed to a cylinder where making it a flexible asembly works, an air bellows does not need to move axially.
I have two plates hinged and the bellows needs to squeeze and move as they open. The ends are of course fixed to the plates, so the movement is actually an arc.
About three days ago Inventor 2013 started crashing whenever I tried to drag a subassembly into position. I got a message telling me to install SP1. I did this; but the crashing continues to occur. I can use assembly constraints to move my subassembly around but this is cumbersome.

1..... i complete a sketch and save it.
2....Then i open up a new assebly while in the same project and save that also.
3...I place the sketch in the assembly and then go straight to Design tab and select insert frame a PFC member.
4 Also the sketch is fully constrained before going into assembly.
5..Now all mitering has been done.

I need this to be able to create a WorkPlane normal to the surface of the part at that location.
Is there any way while using position views to have a part that is adaptive resize? It's easy enough in master view to change placement of parts and have adaptive parts update, but when I try it with position views, the parts will not adapt. Can it even be done with a positional view?
Right now I am using position views and level of detail to suppress two different parts, when I would prefer the same part just update in size. I need the position views so i can show different positions without making new assemblies, but cant get the adaptive parts to work in a positional view.
I just want two parts to move position, and the part between them to update in size depending on the distance. Easy in master view, and so far undo able in position views.
I can't seem to find studs in the Content Center to drop into my assembly. Are they not included?
I'm running Inventor Professional 2014.
I am working on a design at the moment using Inventor 2012.It is a Scissor Jack. It has been designed to specific dimensions.Although I am making up the majority of them as I go along.Dim's spec's of which I must design to are as follows,
Max Height @ Open position = 250mm. (must be kept)
Min Height @ Closed position = 70mm. (must be kept)
Max width = 75mm. (must be kept)
The rest I have been taking from other designs of which I saw during my investigation.I have been modelling in such a way trying to adapt the open & closed position limitations with the use of constraints as my maximum & minimum limits. In doing so I have set a Drive Constraint so I can show the jack in its mechanical motion. I don't mind making any changes that will work to achieve completing it to act as it should. I believe there is still some tweaking to be done to it, but I feel the actual engineering design to be almost sound. There is an issue with the base via support arms. I cannot have the support arms moving past the floor level.
I will need to place location pins through the saddle & base connecting the arms. Finally If possible alter the gear teeth so that they interlink & coincide with each other. My screw rod also needs to work properly & turn also the nut needs to be localised in the correct position fixed on the screw rod at the end of the Side sleeve.
How to get postion of faces of part when place on idw drawing file???
Do we need to use (ThisApplication.MeasureTools.GetMinimumDistance(oTG.CreatePoint2d(0, 0), oFa.PointOnFace)?
If we use that we will get distance but how to get face postion on idw. do we need to use edges?? or lines?
