AutoCAD Inventor :: Extruding File After Import

View 5 RepliesI have a shrinkwrapped file. Now the link is broken from the actual assembly and the orginal assembly is now gone. Now in this shrinkwrapped file, there is a portion that I want to isolate. Is there any way to delete / remove the other parts that i dont need? Extruding, sculpting and delete faces dont work. So far the only thing I can do is add extrusions to the part but not remove.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried, such as creating lines in a 3D sketch and projecting the geometry to surface, and creating a work plane, and both don't seem to work for me.... I'm trying to cut out a 5.8mmx14mm rectangle out of a cylinder. When I project the geometry to the cylinder's inner surface, I cannot trim the solid in order to extrude. I've attached the file.

My end goal is to fill in between the grey part and the surface. The surface comes from another part in the assembly, and I used Copy Object to get the surface in this part file. Ideally I would like to do something like Extrude> To Next and select the surface as my terminator. I have done this with success with curved surfaces, but not complex curved surfaces. Does Inventor not handle extruding to complex curves?
Another option I tried was simply extending this part out beyond the surface using the Split feature to trim the part. Again, to no avail. I also tried creating a subassembly of this part and the part the surface is derived from with this part extending beyond the surface, deriving it and subtracting the surface part so I could use Delete Face with the Lump option. No dice there, either.
There was a hole in the side of the surface where I am trying to extrude the part (it is still open on the other side of the surface), but I used Patch and it seemed to fill it in just fine.
How to get accurate fill volume data in complex assemblies.

I have been extruding bodies around parts, then using their verticies for the frame generator (to guard around complex machinery.I then suppress the body and am left with the guard frame.
when i go to get the mass for the part, it includes the volume of the solid body which was used to give the outline.how can i turn the material property to zero density?

I'm having trouble extruding a fully constrained sketch. The sketch is a cross-section of a hollow cylinder that is splined on the inside surface (see attached part file). The line segments that create these splines seem to be grouped together because moving one line moves the others, however the sketch will not extrude.
I can't use the coincident constraint button to group the lines because they don't separate from each other. I also tried to use the close loop button but was unable to select all the necessary lines.
how I can extrude this sketch or make an equivalent sketch that is easier to extrude
(Inventor 2012) I have a weldment. I can make holes and save, I can make revolved cuts and save. I can make chamfers and/or fillets and save. But if I try to extrude a cut (any cut), I receive an error.
Problems encountered while saving the document.
Error(s) detected while writing segment AmBREPSegment in database C:lah-blah.iam

Coming from Sketch up to real big boy tools. I watched the tutorial videos and tried poking around a bit for this specific answer but came up a bit short.
What I'm trying to do is loft a face to a point. Easy enough. I've got my point established on an offset work plane, and I can just loft to that, however, I get nothing but straight lines. (First attachment)
An example of the ideal outcome in SketchUp is the second attachment.
I'm having the most difficulty trying to draw the curves along which I want the face to be lofted because, even as I sketch along my 2D plane, I can't snap the endpoints of my arcs to the endpoints of the face (or the point to which they'll all connect).
I am trying to constrain a point(on a different part) to the sketch(yellow) on the inside surface of the triangle part. If I try the constraint like how it is now, it only allows me to select one segment, not the entire triangular shaped line. It would work if inventor saw the sketch as one single element, but it of course does not. I tried making a 3d sketch of the inner surface and then constraining to that, but it did not work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to 2013, and there is one "feature" I find kind of distracting. When working in a part, I create a new sketch. When I extrude that sketch, Inventor automatically switches me to an Iso view. I don't want that. I would prefer to stay in the view that I established.
Is there a way to turn that off?
I have an STL-file that i need in an assembly to check if the machine that i'm building isn't to small.
I can import the STL-file in the assembly without problem, but i can't use constraints on it to put it in the correct place of my machine.
The STL-file isn't seen in the IDW - drawing.
I have a 3ds max file that the company i work for needs to get into inventor. I have tried exporting the file to .sat, .iges, and .dwg file an none have imported the assembly into inventor properly.

By the UI, you can import the BOM structure via an XML file. Is it possible by API ?

Is there a way to successfully import an assembly from NX to inventor, if so does it include all the original sketches and feature history that created the parts, or is that not possible?

I have come across a problem where I import a step file. And it brings in a false surface that is not supposed to be in the file. When I highlight the base of the solid it only highlights what it should (not the false surface). The surface cannot be extrude cut or removed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to import the parameters from the .ipt file into the .iam file using a rule from iLogic (unless there is another way to do it?)
I pinched the code from the example hand rail iLogic part that comes with inventor and tweaked it to suit. After inputting the code shown in the image, when I click OK I get a 'fatal error' of some sort.
I need to Import a IAM file with Views and Positions to Showcase. I found several tutorials on this, but as soon as I add a position in Inventor none of the above are imported. Without any Positions, Views get Imported.
It's Inventor and Showcase 2013.
i have made a iLogic Module who, whit an external rules, import the iProperties value from an external exel file.The exel file is connected from SQL with the our managerial software.This in the external rule:
i = GoExcel.FindRow("Z:DISEGNI_INVENTORDescrizioni.xls", "Descrizioni", "Cod.Art.", "=", iProperties.Value ("Project", "Part Number"))iProperties.Value ("Project", "Description") = GoExcel.CurrentRowValue("Descr. Articolo Princ.")'iProperties.Value("Project", "Project")
[Code] .....
It's work fine but i have same question. There is some string to refresh an iLogic Module? When i push the ruel button the rule add the custom value in iProperties, but there are disabled, i have close the module an reopen it for correct display the value of the iProperties.
this module work with single parts. Can I do an rule who do the same thing of my string but in one assembly, do this for every parts of assembly automaticly??

I'm relatively new to AutCAD map 3d but I've used arcGIS a while back.
I have existing roads, towns etc data that are already set to UTM 17. I want to import ascii point coordinates (from a comma delimited file) into the file. I can import the ascii coordinates as points fine (easting and northing), however the points come in as the absolute coordinates rather than geometric coordinates. I already set the files for right geographic projections. Beyond manually inputing the coordinates into the coordinate tracker, is there a way to import the coordinates form the file set for the geometric coordinates?
