I am trying to convert punch .ipt 2013 version file into a Sheet Metal Punch iFeature...For an unknown reason to me i cannot get it to work...Have a look at the file and see why i cannot convert to a Sheet Metal Punch iFeature ?
The Punch will then go onto the Sheet Metal Plate
I want to know if is possible to create a troquel punch as iFeature for just bend, not cut o drilled, for example, to create a squared punch for to make a bending in a sheet metal,

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a sheet metal punch tool, however, I must have something incorrect because the extract iFeature does not seem to be working.
I've attached a copy of the file I'm currently working on.
Sheet Metal Parts > Punch Holes (Contintued).
I picked the ADSK-METRIC-120 to change the hole size from 25 to 120, but the new hole size ADSK-METRIC-120 is RED color and I cannot refresh or finish it. why size 25 worked, but not the 120?
I am using the Autodesk Inventor 2012.
why the Punch i created causes the following?
1. The punch will not work with part 1.I have 4 points for the Punch on part-1
2. When attempting to get the 4 punch holes on to the flat sheet it causes inventor to shutdown.I have done 4 attempts to fit the punch into the flat sheet (part-1) and 4 times it has shutdown Inventor
I have made some punches for sheet metal and this one seems to be simple but it has me stumb.
Its 50mm in Dia a 5mm lip a 28mm outside rad cone and a depth inside of =/- 8.5mm then there is a 12mm hole
A colleague & I have been trying and failing all day to create a punch tool from scratch. I did however manage to modify the geometry of the Dimple & Hole example here:
[URL].....
how to
a) build the iFeature correctly and
b) how to then extract it so that the orientation is not FUBAR when you insert it using the punch tool.
Attached are the dimensions I need. This shape when revolved about the centreline should produce a 'dimple' effect in the sheet metal part.
I am trying to make a punch tool in inventor for sheet metal. I noticed that for the features I could not select faces or flanges I did. I know you can extrude the same shape to get the same result but I wanted to use a face/flange so that I can retain the flat development. What is the best way around this.
To get a sense of what I am trying to make:
-square cut out
-on the bottom edge of the square I made a face that is angled at 45 degrees
It would be closest to a louver tool.
My company is trying to put some automation together to pull design attributes of parts and assemblies to drive routing creation in the shop.
The issue that we have run into is that for certain ifeatures, we need to gain access to the name (or punch ID) of an ifeature (primarily punch tools). Pulling the name of the feature that the tool created is relatively easy, but because you are able to change the name of the feature as it appears in the model browser, it isn't the most reliable way to get that information.
We are looking for a way to figure out what the name of the ifeature used to create the feature without referencing the resulting feature's name in the model tree.
I've included an example, and I'm looking for the name of the tool which should be "Ob_750X562".
I have been given the task of figuring out a way to have etching placed on our parts to show the part number of the part. The end goal is to get the parts laser cut but have the part number etched into the part.Is there a way to convert text (i.e. 12345) to a sketched symbol that the punch feature would recognize and then add it to the library? Right now we are using 2012 but will be upgraded to 2014 within the next 6 months.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've a problem in Inv 2011 SP2 and 2012 SP1 with 2D Sketch Punch Representation.
See attached file for the explanation of the problem or this Link to animated problem.
I'm using Inventor 2014.
I created a Punch Tool iFeature, everything seemed fine, I could save it without problems.
However, when I try to place it in a part with the Punch Tool, it says "The file has 0 volume changing features. To be a valid punch tool, the .ide file must contain at least 1 sketch-based feature."
I have a part that we will cut out on a CNC plasma machine that will undergo a drilling operation. We create all the parts that will be cut on the plasma in the sheet metal environment because of the simple flat pattern export. Our plasma machine has the ability to scribe lines and also create center punch marks. It distinguishes between cut lines, scribe lines, and center punch marks by layer name. I need a way to get the center points of the drill locations into their own layer.

What is the easiest way to do this? N.B.: the path is quite complicated, so redrawing it with the pen tool is the last thing I want to do.

I am trying to punch holes in a circle using compound paths, as you can see here :
The tadpole shape and the human shape are the holes I need created in the large circle behind them. Both the tadpole and the human are at the front and all objects are on the same layer. When I select everything and choose CRTL+8, only the tadpole gets cut into the circle. the other shape just stays white.

With the multiple views when I go to create a pdf it says it needs to update the views and proceeds in excess of 4hrs to do 1/6 views.
Is there anyway to speed up this process? possibly use other computers that aren't being used on the network to share their resources? (Is this a possibility like in 3ds Max?)

If I try to add a UCS to a blank part, the ONLY thing I can select is the Centre Point, but the UCS requires 3 inputs!
I tried unsuccessfully to create a lip around a curve surface and there is no flat plane to select for the sketch. Wonder if this could be done in Inventor. My version is 2011.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to come up with an easy way to input information for basic objects that we need for sales drawings. Is there a way to create a prompt(length, width, Diameter etc.) so when you open the .ipt it pops up? Anything a little more organized than the parameters box? I've done an excel sheet in the past for certain things, but didn't want to carry and excel sheet over for this option.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTrying to create a 3D sweep. I want to keep the sweep parallel to the XZ plane (like a parting surface). In the attached part, there is a SweepSrf3 that has sort of what I am trying to do, but it does not go all the way around the path. Notice how the sweep is parallel to the plane. I tried to do the same thing in SweepSrf4, by selecting the 3D Sketch1 as the path, Sketch2 as the profile, and Workplane2 as the Guide Surface. That failed.
In SweepSrf4, the only way that I could get the sweep to come close to working was to use the 3D Sketch1 as the guide rail and the circle as the Path. Seems like I need to use the circle as the guide rail and the 3D Sketch1 as the path to get what I want... but that fails.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

The article says to "expand color on the top left." of the style editor. However, when I open the dialogue there is no "color" that can be expanded. The only thing in the top left of dialogue box is "lighting." Is there another step that the article misses, or is there another way for me to create a surface from a jpeg?
