AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Stop Creating Splines Of In IDW
Sep 23, 2011
how to stop Inventor from creating splines of in IDW where the geometry is in fact a true arc or circle?
This is absolutely ridiculous and maddening!
If it is a freaking arc or a radius, then make it a freaking arc or a radius instead of a spline!!!
If not, then give AutoCAD a tool to convert a spline into a true arc!!!
Come on Autodesk! Not everyone is using your product for design, some of us are doing so to actually make the damm parts that are drawn in Inventor! A spline that supposed to be an arc is wicked difficult - if not impossible - to send to a waterjet, laser or EDM to cut properly!!!

I try to create my Vertical Profile using "Convert using AutoCAD line and spline" but spline option is not working.
I recreated as spline>cv>Degree (2) quadratic. The Civil3D is not accepting.
I'm doing something wrong? Use another procedure?

If I have imported a large multi-spline object, is there a way to bust it up into separate splines easily -- without having to detach each one individually?

I have a drawing of a map full of polylines and some splines. I want to somehow select or show only the splines for then to convert them into polylines to make them ready for laser printing.
The drawing has thousands of lines so selecting one by one to see if its a spline will take forever.

I need to export faces on a part. When i do this in either DWG or DXF if creates splines in the 2d drawing. Then i have to go back and redraw all the radii. Is thier a way to convert or export without getting splines? Our machine won't recognize the face drawing unless i redraw all the circular segments.

In other softwares when you creat a spline you are able to adjust the curvature between points by dragging the slope handles at a node. In my file, I have thus far been unable to fair my splines with any kind of consistancy. Also, it should be possible to place a tangent constaint to a straight line at a point, yet I haven't been able to do that either. According to the help files this should be an easy thing to adjust, Why am I not able to?

is it possible to produce something like in the attached image using the design accelerator? Instead of making a cylinder and sketching the spline patterns and extruding? To me there must be a way besides sketching and use the library's of standard splines patterns and sizes.

When I import pictures from a memory card LR4.2 creates a new folder every day in the backup location.
Is there any way to stop this? I want all of the pictures to be copied to the directory I chose on the main and backup drives, it's a pain going to the backup and moving my pictures.

Every time I open a RAW file into Photoshop CS5 from LR3, it automatically creates and saves a PSD or TIFF file. Is there a way to stop lightroom from doing this? When I used LR2, I saved these files only if I choose to. I always convert my files to jpg after I'm done editing in PS and don't need these huge files hanging around.

I have defer updates set to on yet every time I drag a part in an assembly inventor rebuilds everything, even though the part being moved has no adaptivity, no mates and no derived parts. It's rebuilding over 300 unrelated and unaffected parts every time.
I just want to drag parts around for concept layout and lying so I don't want mates just yet. How can I make it stop?

I am using 2013 and my construction surfaces keep displaying in my drawing views. They are hidden at part and assembly level and include surfaces is greyed out but they show as visible in the feature tree in the idw, and in the views.
Is there a setting somewhere to stop this. This is from IDW. They should not be visible.

Everytime I click on the sketch button/icon inventor changes my view and rotates / re-angles my view. When I'm make those narrow sketches inventor messes up my view.
How to stop this.. I'm guessing settings of course but which ones exactly if you've done this and what are the down sides to turning this off?

when change a position in the assembly it also change in the 2d drawing which is logic.
is there a way i can stop inventor from updating my 2d drawing when i change something in the main assembly?
im using inventor 2013.

Is there any way to give selection priority to real geometry instead of construction geometry? Every time I go to dimension or constrain IV wants to to pick the construction geometry first. I would like very much to change that.

I am using ilogic to modify the boxes:
I have a one rectangular box in that box again small rectangular boxes in this my problem is when iam giving value for smaller boxes(all boxes height) more than outer box how it will show the message box and how to stop the code.
d1=big box height
d2,d3,d4---small boxes height
I am writing code like this:
IF((d2+d3+d4)=<d1) then
Msg.box(give correct value)
end if
here it's showing the message and it,s not stoping the program.

When I open a file on Inventor 2014, the screen says, that the graphic card controller crashes, after that, there´s no possibility to recover the work, because the work zone, shows a infinite white space.
This is the print screen (in spanish); translation will be like: "Screen controller stop working but it recover itself (something like that)"

So I am using Inventor LT 2012 in a small company that makes conveyor rollers. Most of the time we make the same roller with only different values to the variables. So I decided to make a part with the parameters in an Excel sheet:
A customer call us, and they want a roller with x,y,z dimensions, I put in in Excel and the drawing is ready.
But, when I need to make a second drawing of that roller with different dimensions, the first one also change.
Is there any way to keep a drawing fix when it is done ? If possible, only making a dwg for each customer without having to make an ipt and excel sheet for each drawing would be awesome !

We've been using Tube and pipe for a few months now, and still working through the quirks and tricks for producing a stable route. One problem however as more users are starting to use T&P is when in the top level T&P assembly they are dragging on a route and not always aware they have done so - this can result in the route being rotated fractions of a degree or moved fraction of mm and causing no end of confusion and frustration later on trying to diagnose and fix. Is there a way to 'lock' a route in place so it cannot be dragged in the top level?
Have tried switching off adaptivity in the i Properties of 'Tube & Pipe Runs' assembly, but this usually switches back on automatically. One user had a problem where the included geometry (taken from the x,y,z axes) had also moved and had to be deleted and redone - Wouldn't have thought anything based on the x,y,z axes should move?

I have one problem in ilogic i developed the model using ilogic rules and dimension values updated through the User interface form.
problem is while entering the values in UI, model updates automatically, but I want to stop automatic update and after entering the all the parameters in the UI then click the done button only update the model.
My UI is like this
It's possible.

I cannot find any way to switch off the auto-hide for the Render Image menu in Inventor Studio 2013. I know how to do it for other menus, and Bobvdd posted a registry hack a couple years ago for 2011. I cannot find anything for this dialog, and I would really like it to stop.

I'm not sure if there's a way to stop this, but whenever I add parts to an assembly and switch to the drawing of the assembly, the hidden lines for those parts show up in every view of the assembly. Right now I'm having to go to each view and select the hide hidden lines option for each part. Is it possible to stop the hidden lines from showing up everytime I add a part?

I have topo contours that are splines. I want to flatten them so they become polylines that I can give elevation values. When I flatten some, portions of the topo lines become circles.
How do I fix it?

I am using Autocad Map 3D 2011. I am looking for a way to edit multiple splines at once similar to the multiple pedit command. I need to convert them to plines. I have been selecting them one at a time, typing p, enter enter enter, selecting the next one and so on but it would be a time saver to be able to select multiple splines and have the "convert to pline" command work on all of them. As it is, if you select more than one it only acts on the first selected.

Is it possible to match the ends of two splines (whose end points are coincident) such that there is tangency between them. This would require the end control vertex (CV) and preceding CV for each spline to become aligned? I have explored the SPLINEDIT options and see there is a FIT DATA option that leads to TANGENTS option but I'm not sure how this works and whether it will give the desired effect.
