AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Template For Six Faceted Vase Form

Aug 28, 2013

I'm trying to make a template for a six-faceted vase form.  Basically one side of a sweeped hexagon along a curved path which I would like to Flatten in Sheet Metal.

First, I have a profile:

Then, I add a hexagonal base sketch:

Next I do a sweep using the profile as a guide rail and the y-axis as the axis:

So far so good.  Finally, I select one of the facets and Thicken to 1mm:

After converting to Sheet Metal and setting the Sheet Metal default to 1mm, Sheet Metal will not perform a Flatten because it cannot find any bends.

Is there any way to go about this in Inventor?  Perhaps using some other method than a Sweep?  Any method that produces a flat pattern

Paint.NET :: How To Paste Texture Onto Vase Template

Sep 19, 2013

I make sculpties in Second Life.  They need textures and up to this point, I've been doing it by hand, pixel by pixel.  Now I want to learn how "real-looking" textures are done by editing the texture maps.  
 
How do I go about applying the beige marble texture on top of the black vase outline but not outside of the lines?  It's ok and preferable if the texture is squeezed at the bottom to wrap around.  and I'm trying to make it seamless, the marble square at the bottom actually covers the 4th vase side.  (the top and bottom outlines are the outside and the right/left are the inside of the vase.)

Paint.NET :: Make Vase Pattern Flat Turn 3D Image To 2D

Dec 26, 2012

I have a picture of a vase which of course has the shadow of a 3 dimensional object as well as the warp in the image caused by the image wrapping around the round vase.  Is there a way that I can "unwrap" the image from the vase and to have the picture appear flat?  I tried manually doing it with warp grid but it was a lot of work and did not look very smooth.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Aluminum Framed Panel Template

Nov 12, 2012

I would like to make a aluminum framed panel template that I can enter in the height and width dimensions and then save the panel assembly into it's own unique part#. Right now, when I design enclosure, I will have multiple sizes of framed panel and I typically have to manually change the length and width dimensions for the individual extrusion members, then change the panel size manually. I re-name the new extrusions and panels to avoid file name conflicts. Is there a way to simplify the process? 

Like I said before, I will have multiple "section"(SEC) assemblies in each main assembly file. 

I attached a zip file with my aluminum framed panel assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Form Picture - Parameter Driven Picture On A Form

Apr 10, 2013

I am working on a form (global) and have added a picture with a parameter and a picture folder underneath. So that the picture displayed on my form will change depending on the parameter value.Here comes the trick. Only text parameters can be used!On the form editor only 'Text parameter' can be selected to drive the picture selection. I actually need an integer, so that i can use my User/Excel parameters from Inventor.

I can work this around with an iLogic rule to equal the value of my string Picture Parameter with the relevant integer Inventor parameter, but the rules need to be run before the pic and the form updates (by pressing the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the form and then the assy updates too. So this takes a couple of minutes)... whereas if it was an option on the form editor then the update would be instant without waiting for everything to update...

Is there a particular reason why the Picture Parameter only can be a text parameter?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert 3D Faceted Model To Wireframe Only

Jun 8, 2012

I've got a very complex 3D AutoCAD model (exported as DWG) that's come from an external company that use Micro station.  Ultimately I'm trying to link it into Revit, but I'm having problems doing this.  What I'd like to do is convert the 3D faceted model into a wireframe ONLY model, ie. remove all the faces. (I've got another wire frame model in Revit already so I know this will work)  I know you can change the 'view' by using SHADEMODE but I'd like to actually remove the faces from the model all together leaving only the lines on the 'edges'.  So the Wireframe view of Shade mode is exactly what I want but I need to get those faces out somehow.

I've tried exploding it all, but that only gets rid of a few faces ...thought exporting to DXF might do it but hasn't.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Horizontal Section Of Curved Walls Are Faceted?

Jul 25, 2011

We have an interior space built out for a commercial project incorporating curved walls in 3D.  We need to generate a 2D drawing to be turned over to the on-site architect.  Generating a 2D section yeilds a faceted wall.  AECFACETDEV has no effect on the curve quality. Is there a control for Horizontal section?  Walls do not show up using flatshot so that is not an option.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Is It Possible To Make A Clickable Form / Table

Jan 2, 2014

I am seeking to simplify some of our drawings and want to make some forms or tables that has a click check or radio button.  Is this possible in any way using Autocad and/or using the Visual Basic and Visual LISP add ons?

If it is possible what I seek is something similar to what is shown in the attached picture.  Ideally I would be able to group the boxes together and set up something so it will only allow one of them to be checked, same thing for Mixed Occupancy, Construction Types, etc.  If that is not possible via any means at a minimum I would like to be able to just click on the box to check or uncheck it. 

If there is some way to make it as a block with attributes I can handle that as well.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Form Trigger

Nov 29, 2012

I have a ipt which is controlled via an ilogic form,this form is opened by ilogic code, which in turn is triggered when the ipt is opened.

my problem is when the part is placed within an assembly the said form is triggered and the same happens when the assembly is reopened!.... I would prefer if the form opened only when the ipt is opened or edited.... 

Is there a snippet of code for this? Or is it even possible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Minimizing Groups In A Form

Dec 10, 2013

I am creating a large form.  The goal of the form means I am unable to break it down into smaller forms as there is a great deal of interaction between all levels of the form.  

One of my first fields is a multi-value field (Foundation Type) with four options  (None, Slab, Piers, Wall).   Three of those options have a group of fields lower in the form with between 1 and 5 fields.  

(Multi:Value Option: Example of fields specific to that option)

Slab: Thickness, Edge Depth, Edge Width
Piers:  Diameter, Depth.Offset
Wall:  Footing (T/F), Depth, Width,   

 I currently disable all of the groups of fields that are not part of the active option in the primary multi-value field throught the (Enabling Paramter Name) option with a rule.   This keeps the user from entering values that affect a Foundation Type that is not currently active, but the disabled fields take up a lot of room on my form and may confuse end user less familiar with the system,

The group function in the form has a minimize toggle next to the group name, but the Form Editor does not show any options to manipulate this toggle.    Is there a way to automatically toggle this minimize/maximize function through a rule or other means)?  Or are there any other means of hiding form fields that are not currently enabled?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parameter Precision In Form

Apr 11, 2013

I have the following problem:

I have created a form in which I need to see the volume value. For that I created a User Parameter that is set to be equal with part's volume:

Volume=iProperties.Volume

What I don't like is that the precision for the parameter is too long and I can't change it.  I changed the precision in Document Settings and also for the parameter itself in the Parameters window, but these changed don't affect what is the form.
