View 4 RepliesDear 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.

Yeah lets not fixs bugs...
Sub Assembly
Insert in Main Assembly
Nice.. And no i have not constrained it to the main just put it in...
I insert parts in an assembly, new parts from content center or from a library, without projected edjes, they are free to move until i impose the first constraint, the axis to axis alignment of round parts, then i cannot move them anymore in order to continue constraining them
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change the parameters of a custom ipart in an assembly after it has been inserted, or can I only do an insert using AddCustomiPartMember?
In that case I simply remove the previous occurrence and insert a new one I suppose?
I`m looking for the iLogic code that can change one parameter (user defined) for each (ipt) part in assembly (iam)
The one below doesn`t work.
Sub Main Dim oApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication Dim oAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = oApp.ActiveDocument For Each oSubDoc as Inventor.Document In oAssy.AllReferencedDocuments On Error Resume Next Parameter(oSubDoc, "FH") = 15.26 Next End Sub
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.

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?

There is one issue which is troubling me from some time.
Is it possible to identify the name of parent assembly of part/sub-assembly.
For Instance there is a Sub-Assembly/Part, how can i identify the parent assembly using VB.net without opening that assembly.
I need to be able to pick a face on a part in an assembly inside a iLogic rule. How can I set up the events to suspend the code to have the user pick the face?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly of stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.
And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.
I am capturing a book-case design that I made long ago into Intentor. I am almost finished, and I want to produce .dwg files and a bill of materials of parts that can be held.
For various reasons, almost all the items in the existing design are assemblies, and the underlying parts correspond more or less to half of physical parts that are contained inside a repeating cell. I will almost certainly continue using this approach.
A simplified design that shows this is at [URL]..... in the file Display.iam
I created the file Slat.ipt by using derive (Slat.iam).
If I replace the Slat assemblies with the file Slat.ipt, the bill of materials will show parts that correspond to physical parts that I can hold in my hand, or list on an invoice. I can do this with many, many mouse operations.
To make this modification quickly, I attempted to do Component -> replace on the Slat assembly. I use this operation a lot to replace one version of an assembly with another. When I do it with a .ipt file, the system pauses for some tens of seconds, then crashes.
A brute force work around is to use the mouse to do the replacement, essentially rebuilding the entire project in place.
When i create a part in an assembly, i select a plane or face with the cursor, but then i select again a plane for the sketch.
Why this double selection, and what does the first selection do, if the part is actually sketched on the plane i selected in the second time.
Normally you start with new models/assemblies/and drawings when you use the templates the naming by default is part1.ipt, assembly1.iam, drawing1.idw
I am currently at part431.ipt and assemby57.iam
I am concerned I may eventually reach part1000.ipt LOL
Currently using Inventor2012.
as you can see from the image, the blue cone isnt transparent. i set the material properties to "clear blue" to make it "see through", i want to show whats under the cone. however the cone isnt transparent. how can i get the cone to be transparent? is there a step im missing?

Can i do it without using an Excel sheet as a parameter source for both the assembly and the part? The target is to have inventor update an array of assets as soon as the width of a part is changed whether in Excel or in the Factory properties of the asset.
I have an assebly where i have imported parts and other assemblies. Unfortunatly during process of assigning them together they have rotated by various angles.Is it possible to somehow "reset" the rotation of part according to global xyz?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy need is to assembly parts into an assembly by a known position in the assembly. The part has a UCS and I create UCS on the assembly programatically. What I cannot do is to constrain the two UCS. I tried this (Inventor 2013 x64 on W7/W8 64, c++ 2010 by the way DEBUG mode is not working from the IDE):
CAssemblyComponentDefinition compDef = doc.get_ComponentDefinition();
// MOdules UCS
CUserCoordinateSystems coords = compDef.get_UserCoordinateSystems();
CTransientGeometry geom = m_InventorApp.get_TransientGeometry();
CMatrix matrix = geom.CreateMatrix();
[code]...
What is the meaning of the (*) sign near the part (see picture atttached)?
