I am new to Inventor, running Inventor 2012. I know Solidworks.
I have a sketch with ellipse and then squares inside the ellipse. I am trying to edit the part not create. The program extrudes either ellipse or squares. New problem: the extrusion is picking wrong sketch. I need to finish the part....

I have a drawing view of a part with a sketch that contains some lines. I need to pick one of the sketch lines.
I can pick a line with sketch active using the kSketchCurveLinearFilter
I have not been able to pick it from outside of sketch. Have tried using kDrawingCurveSegmentFilter to get a DrawingCurveSegment but I can not get the sketch line from the DrawingCurveSegment
I assume there is a way to get the sketch line from DrawingCurveSegment or DrawingCurveObject but have not figured it out.
I have a sketch for a 1.125" tall bounding wall. The inside contour is projected, and the outside contour is offset .125." When I extrude the desired profile, the inside corners, which are project radii, turn inside out. I don't know how else to explain it. I will attach before/after screen shots.
I reboot my PC at lunch because I was getting other odd errors, lots o' C++ runtime joys. That was some two hours ago, and I had a slew of errors/crashes after that around one. Now, no error messages, but this interesting occasion.
In working with Autodesk Inventor I accidentally exited out the menu that displays all my different extrusions and sketches. what this menu is called and how I get it back?

Also the Extrusion 2 cut out for centre hole does not seem completely round.....
Could this part be made using better techniques.....how can i create this part with better steps

I am trying to create a sketch on a face for an extrusion. The sketch has a text box. I am having trouble excluding the text in a sketch otherwise all the closed geometries of the text get extruded.
I created an objectCollection and excluded the TextBox objects. Still not working.
I am trying to creating an extrusion with a sketch containing multiple circles. However, the AddForSolid() Method is not working properly, returning non-NOERROR is C++. Below is the code that I used to create a sketch(which is succeeded) and then try to create a extrusion (in my case cutting).

I want to reset the number for the sketches, extrusions, etc. in the browser tree of my template file to start with 01 instead of sketch48 and extrusion69.
I also want to reset the model parameters to start with d0 instead of d485.
The attached image show an example of a simple cylinder that I created from my .ipt template file.
My eyedropper started picking the wrong color! I ahve reset and reinstalled PS - and still have this problem. No matter what color I click the eyedropper on, it picks a shade darker than what I want. Like I said, I am running PS CS6 on OS Mountain Lion.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe attached files are two sprockets. The original part has 30 teeth. I need 34 teeth.
The MODIFIED part has one of my attempts at making 34 teeth. I have tried the following with the same error dialog box (see below):
1. Edit Sketch_6 (associated with Extrusion1) by deleting all but one of the teeth lines (2 arcs and 2 lines that make up a tooth) and making a circular pattern of 34.
2. Same circular pattern, except this time I "Close the Loop" (right-click on one of the teeth line segments > Close Loop > click on all the segments until the loop is closed).
3. Same circular pattern, except this time change the resulting patterned lines into construction lines, trace these lines with arcs and lines of my own (not construction lines), and close the loop on my own lines.
When each of the 3 attempts failed, I tried deleting Extrusion1 and making a new Extrusion feature from Sketch_6. I cannot select what I want in Sketch_6 in order to make the teeth.
I'm at the point where I'm just going to take the dimensions from the circular pattern sketch of 34 teeth, delete Extrusion1 and Sketch_6, and make my own sketch and extrusion.
For the future, I really would like to know - why is it so difficult to alter features like this? Yes, I understand that Sketch_6 is not fully constrained, and on top of this I am not privy to how it was generated in the first place (this is a part file from a vendor). But it does not strike me as something overly complicated for the Extrusion feature to recognize a change in its associated sketch. This is not the first time I have encountered something like this.
How do I pick a part to balloon it when the line is actually two parts beside each other? eg a wall sheet welded to a square column. I can 'toggle" between the two but am unable to pick the other part so continually get the item balloon for the part I don't want.

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?
I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations. Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.
I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist. I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.
I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way. I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option. I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.
I was trying to query some sketch points data from a profile Path using code as below. However the program stopped without telling the reason.
Code below:
i = 0;
foreach (ProfileEntity oSourceProfileEntity in oProfilePath) { switch (oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity.Type) { case ObjectTypeEnum.kSketchArcObject: { SketchArc srcSkArc = default(SketchArc); srcSkArc = (SketchArc) oSourceProfileEntity.SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkArc.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } default: { SketchLine srcSkLine = default(SketchLine); srcSkLine =(SketchLine) oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } } i++; }
First we imported an ".igs" file to inventor, which produced "wires". Then by promoting the wires it produced a 3-d sketch.
The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.
The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch

This is causing modelling to slow down as I can not project lines from the sketch that has disappeared.

I deleted many features since the file was large, and many features got warnings, but extrusion 15 was the only one with warning in the original file.
I wanted to add an extrusion to an asembly. I was able to highlight the required geometry and create the feature, but is not showing up. In the browser, there's a red "up arrow" beside it. Why is it not showing?

Suggest iLogic code to create cut Extruson (Extents=All) based on the "Sketch1"
First off if I update a sketch block in a derived part, how do I get the sketch blocks to update? Do I have to delete derived item, and rederive it?
Also if I modify a sketch block that is used for a extrusion, how do I get the extrusion to update? Do I have to delete extrusion and rextrude?
I have a multibodied part (roughly 700 parts) and I need to do a cut extrusion. The problem is that when I'm cutting through a hundred or more solids I might miss one if it's close to the edge. I though, no problem I'll just go back to the extrusion command and add those solids I missed. Problem, the program only lets me select one solid and undoes all I had previously.

I'm trying to move a rectangular extrusion towards me on an object, however it will only go farther away from me, and to the right and left.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI cut a curved profile using extrusion and mirrored it about the original plane. But It doesn't cut thoroughly ? there is still a surface of the rarer side of the part ?
the original extrude cut was "Through All".When do the same cut gving a distance...it mirrors perfectly..
I am working on detailing an assembly that requires two parts to be bolted together and then have a hole bored through both parts. I want to show the assembly without the bore and then with the bore. I do not want to have to create a derived part. There should be a way of toggling this extrusion in the assembly view, but I have not yet found it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, my line tool in sketch mode does not connect segment to segment and each individual line can be dragged wherever. This also means I cannot extrude any shapes I make because inventor does not realize the series of line segments create a closed shape. This happens across all part files, old and new.
