AutoCAD Inventor :: Healing Chain Centerline That Has Broken / 2012

Nov 1, 2011

how to heal a chained centreline between a row of hole features?

Here is my current work practice...

I have a panel with a row of hole features, they are not an array as the pitch between holes typically varies.

I create a chain of centres along the row.

I copy the panel and drawing to make a similar part but I remove one of the holes from the middle of the row.

Now the chain centreline is broken, obviously missing a feature and I cannot find a way to heal the centreline unless I delete and recreate it.

There is also the switcharound too where I add a hole within the row.I typically have to do this for nearly 60 similar panels.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make A Centerline In Drawings

Oct 17, 2012

I cannot get a 'centerline' (symbols panel/centerline) to create. I can use all the others (centerline bisector, centermark and centered pattern) without fail. This first one (with the single line) does not EVER give me the option to 'create' when I am done clicking my points, its always greyed out and I dont know why.

how to make a centerline...select that option, click here, click there, when done right click and 'create'. Doesnt work.

I have a ratchet plate idw that I've drawn and dimensioned, but I would like to insert two bolt circles to the two diameter dimensions that appear to be pointing at nothing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Snap Origin To Centerline Intersection

Aug 26, 2012

I have problem with placing origin of ordinate dimensions on point where two centerlines are intersecting. 

In my particular case I have rectangle and centerlines are in the middle of pararel edges. So they are crossing eatch other in the center of rectangle.

I need to place origin for ordinate dimensions in this point.  But till now I had not find any way to do that except make a skkech and draw a line that's one end is exactly in the point I want. But it seems to me like rather ridicules aolution.

Maya :: 2012 Animation Totally Broken?

Apr 20, 2011

Tried to animate in new maya? If I make a simplest animation like 24 frames long, where is a skeleton with 1 root and 3 more bones...so:

1-st frame - starting pose
24-th frame - starting pose
and then somewhere at frame 12 change position of 3 bones and set a keyframe

Starting pose goes mess... I've checked this behaviour under Mac OS and Windows XP. it is the same broken. is it a new feature which I simply don't know how to control?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Roller Chain

Apr 30, 2012

I am trying to create a roller chain as part of a cad drawing of a bicyle.

I created a link of the chain (pic attached) and I am following this video to repeat it as a rectangular pattern : [URL]....

However the links are not following the path they're supposed to - I can't attach that file right now.

Anything that I should do different from the video? I have been using inventor for a little while but I've never used the adaptive stetches or the functions thing ot a rectangular pattern that is not in the shape of a rectangle.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Roller Chain Generator Without A Closed Loop?

Dec 20, 2013

I'm designing a lift truck with a "chain over" lift - the lift cylinder has a sprocket mounted on the end of the rod, and the chain is grounded on one side.  The other end of the chain is mounted to a lifting carriage so that as the cylinder extends and pushes the sprocket up, the chain rolls over it and the carriage moves up (at twice the speed of the cylinder).  This is nothing new - it's pretty much how every single fork truck in the world operates.

My question is this:  can I use the roller chain generator to model this chain, or should I model the links and array them along a path?  My thinking is that if I can use the chain generator, I should be able to animate the chain using Dynamic Simulation.  But the chain generator seems to require a minimum of 2 sprockets in order to work - there's no way that I can see to have a "non-looped" chain or any way to just ground the end of the chain.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Attach Sliding Object To Roller Chain

Feb 11, 2013

I've got a chain that runs between two sprockets. In between the sprockets is a slider that needs to be attached to the chain so that the rolling of the chain moves the slider back and forth.Right now the chain just runs straight through the slider, it isn't connected at all. I can't find any way to tell Inventor that this slider is connected to the chain.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator For Chain Link Fence

Apr 24, 2012

Has used the frame generator to model the posts and horizontal pipes that would go into a chain link fence?

We have generated several fence models as simple part files.  They work in that they get the basic idea across and they're fairly quick to create.  But I started thinking about a more detailed model and I wondered if it would be an appropriate use of the frame generator.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Move Part Along Curve With Chain Drive In Assembly

Oct 4, 2012

I have two set of chain drives connected to each other through a common axle. The motor (which is not visible in my assembly) drives the yellow sprocket. 

The two sprockets mounted on the grey axle is attached with a key way so when the yellow sprocket turns, the two chain drives turns.

I want to attach the blue sled on the blue chain, the red sled on the red chain and then rotate the yellow sprocket so both of the sleds moves with their chains (at the same speed/ time).

The blue sled is going to move a rolled bar (the orange one) on the floor (glass square) a certain length and then the red sled is going to "take over" and continue to move the bar on the floor.

I want to make sure I´ve got the spacing between the sprockets in the short chain drive (red) correct so the red sled takes over when the blue sled disappears under the floor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Broken Context Menu?

Feb 28, 2012

One of my users has been complaining that his "right click stops working".  I have verified the problem myself, and find it very odd. It seems to be exclusive to his machine, which is a Windows XP 32 bit, I think with 4GB RAM and a decent gaming graphics card running IV 2012. 

After he's been working about half of the day he suddenly is unable to right click and bring up his context menu.  He then has to save his work and reboot his machine.  After this he'll be good again for a few hours.

I asked him if he can bring up his context menu on other applications when IV's stops working.  He didn't know but said he would try it the next time he has the problem.

I also asked him if he's using a 3 gig switch.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Scroll Zoom Broken

Apr 12, 2013

My company is using inventor 2010.  I have 64 bit edition.  When I zoom in on a dwg or ipt it zooms for like 1mm then my screen goes gray.  If i click the restore down button then restore back to max drawing comes back but as soon as i try to scroll zoom again with my bamboo pen the screen grays out again.  I've already updated my video driver to latest version and i've updated my bamboo pen driver to latest version. I also booted windows 7 64 bit into safe mode and check device manager to make sure no broken drivers or anything like that.  Some times it will work for a few min then start graying out my screen again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Broken View Display

Oct 4, 2012

I am experincing an issue with display quality when using broken views in Inventor 2013 drawings.

After adding the break to any view in the drawing, part geometry and draft items in all views disappear/reappear upon zooming in and out on the drawing.  The entities are still there (they can be highlited and selected), but they are not displayed.

If the view is deleted, or the break removed from the view, the problem goes away.

This seems to be related to the software because both myself and a co-worker are experiencing the same thing while using competely different hardware configurations.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Broken View Break Lines?

I have a part that when I adjust its length additional fabs are needed. Now in my idw for this part I want to secure the break lines on the part at a exact distance from the end / each other to display these fabs. Is there a way to parameterize or set the break lines so they adapt to the change in length and move accordingly?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Doing Section View In Assembly Is Broken

Jun 26, 2013

Just got updated from IV 2012 to 2013 with a new Dell (yawn) workstation to boot.  OK, I did a section view of a pretty complex assembly and when I tried to take a measurement,  the section view just dissapeared and it went back to full view.  One of the primary uses of using section views is to view / inspect / measure, that which cannot be seen in the normal full view.

Why did this break in 2013 ?   and is there a patch to fix it ?
