how to add a path to a projects? We got a directory for single part, another one for assemblies and another one for assemblies of assemblies. When I make projects assembly, I need to bring parts for another directory and everytime i do this I need to resolve links.

Is there a way to join projects? I have different projects for a few different parts that I would like to make an assembly from.

Since im going to create many different retraction system and many different hood in the future, to be used in many different combinations. I want to be able to create a master project that includes smaller projects so i can still work all the projects independently.
I have been working on this previous project "A" and I realized a few custom frame profile such as Bosch Strut and Din rails. Now I am done with project "A" and I am moving onto a new project we are going to call project "B". In this new project "B" I setup all my libraries as I would normally do, but once I start creating frames, I do not see any of the custom frame profile from my past project "A" even though I added my libraries, which are identical from project "A" to "B".
View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Inventor 2014. My O/S is Windows 7 Ultimate. In the projects folder there is supposed to be Projects called iLogic 2011 Samples, iLogic 2011 Tutorials, iLogic 2012 Samples, Railing iLogic Sample Advanced, and Railing iLogic Sample Base. None of these PROJECTS show up in my projects editor. Do I have to completely uninstall and reinstall Inventor 2014 to get these projects to hopefully load?

I have been jumping back and forth and was trying to find a macro to quickly switch projects, log out of the current vault, and log back into a different vault. I have minimal experience with macros and none with macros in Inventor . I am using Inventor 2009.

When I go to the project settings and select the configure content center libraries icon, click on the drop down icon of the same name, click the icon, no library window appears. It was working before, but not now, it selects but will not click to produce the library window. All my libraries files are in the same locations as far as application options & projects environmebnt are concerned.I tried running AIP as admin and not admin.

View 4 Replies View RelatedActually, I have more than 6 years experience on Catia V5 customization and vb and vb.net catia API's. What I am trying to do know is converting some applications or programs running on catia to the inventor.
The first program deal with the inventor API relating to the SweepFeatures class. So my first problem is about to find the right way to use the sketch3D for the creation of the path which is the input of the sweep method.
(oInvPartFeats.SweepFeatures.AddUsingPath(oInvProfile, oInvProfPath3D, kNewBodyOperation).
I know That is possible to create a path by using the CreatePath method when the input is SketchLines or any guide curve in the 2D Plan. Also, I tried to generate path by using the ProfilePath3D method of the sketch3D class but No way, the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures Class doesn't accept it as path Input.
So I cannot imagine that is limitation of inventor because it was possible to do it by using the seep function of the model tab in the ipart document. How to create the path object as an input of the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures class.
I am currently needing to map the path of an object which undergoes quite a complicated movement path during the operation of the machine. Is there a way for Inventor (or anything else within the Autodesk 2013 design package) to automatically map the path this object takes during its movement?
If not, are there any recommendations on how to map the path easily and accurately?
Is it possible to sweep a solid along a 3d sketched line path to cut a groove / slot? This is like milling a slot in material on a milling machine so the cutter goes along a path removing material.
I can draw a rectangle that represents the side plane of a slot type cutter and this works but in the corners it is not working like a round cutter and leaves sharp corners which then need filleting to finish, but also I am not sure if it is cutting exactly as if a solid round/cylinder cutter would.
I have a roller pin which follows a certain path using transitional constrain in an assembly. A box is attached to the roller pin which move along with it. My problem is that I want one face of the box to be tangent to the path which the roller pin is following so that the box moves according when it is on the curve. I have attached the file with the message.

Path = My.computerComputer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
However when I try to use it it's like the "My" system object isn't there. I'm quite sure it has somethign to do with VBA instead of the normal VB. How can I accomplish getting the current user's desktop path with inventor VBA?
I am having an issue with my assembly grabbing an out of date part. I was wondering what the sequence for the search path Inventor goes thru. I assume it first searches the folder you are in but does it go down, up after that? If there is a part below which way does it go? Is there a possibility it could be grabbing the wrong part if it is not in the same folder?

I have a standard install of Inventor 2012 SP2, but for some reason it cant seem to find the images for IBL effects. See attached Screen shot, when I go to select an item there is nothing there.
I have found the files in the "c:userspublicautodeskenviroments" folder but why Inventor cant see them?I have looked in "App options" in the "file" tab and in the project file and I cant see any pathing options that relate to the enviroments?
The default images for textures and bumpmaps are all found OK just not the IBL files? How I can set the path to these enviroment images?
Is there some way to get the overall length of a sweep path?

My goal is to let some wheels roll in a path which exist from 2 straight paths and a corner. I can constrain them to 1 path at a time but not to all of them so my wheel makes a corner. I
You can find the guide rail as attachment. There is a path in the sketch from which i sweeped my form but he divides it in the 3 parts so i can't constrain the center point of my wheel to this path.
I recall being able to set the work path in Inventor LT 2012. As you can see, I was able to set the work path previously, but not anymore.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on batch processes and have some files with Embedded VBA Projects. This has spread to several files now because of our work flow - open an old file, save with a new name. Attached is the dialog that is displayed when the files are opened in the editor. I would like to "extract" the embedded macros in .NET. They do not need to be there and they interupt the batch processes. I know I could un-check the "Always ask before opening projects with macros" but I would rather extract / remove them.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to get the file path of a selected part/assembly while inside of an assembly. I think I found something that can get it but the example is just different enough I can't figure it out and I don't have time to play with it.

This is the example code that seems to be able to do loads of things including get the full path, if you know what you're doing.
