AutoCAD Inventor :: Manipulator Arm - Drawing A Workspace

Oct 25, 2012

I modeled a manipulator arm (much like a human arm, or for those who are industrailly sound, like KUKA KR5), and I intend to draw its workspace.

The easiest way to do this is if I go back from the end effector joint(that is my wrist), create a rotation about my wrist rotation axis and create a curve, take this curve and sweep it about my elbow rotation axis to create an area, take this area and rotate about my shoulder axis to  create a volume and take this volume and rotate it about my torso axis to create another volume.

So my question is, is there any way I could do such a thing in Autodesk inventor?

I am using Autodesk Inventor 2010.

Photoshop :: 3D Manipulator Tools Gone

Sep 9, 2012

I'm using PS CS6 extended, and when using the 3D layout I have been unable to find the neat new manipulators that make moving your object, lights, and camera so easy.  They were there, and suddenly disappeared as if I'd tripped a switch that turned them off.  I have searced all the menus and preference settings to be sure everything is "visible".  I can still maneuver things maually by typing numeric values into the "coordinates" boxes, but that is pretty cumbersome.
 
The only clue I have, and I may be off-base, is from reading about a similar problem in this forum where the response indicated that Open CL must be on.  I thought, "ah ha", it seems like this problem may have started about the time I updated my video driver.
 
Upon checking this in PS, I find the option to turn on Open CL is "greyed out".  Seeing that, I updated my driver again (for AMD Radeon HD 7000) to the latest one, which specified that it includes an Open CL driver.  But that made no difference.
 
Though I still suspect this may be a driver issue, I'm not sure how to fix it.  I could revert back to my original driver if I knew which version it was.  But then, it might not be a driver issue at all.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Delete Workspace

Dec 14, 2012

After I figured out how to delete a project (why not just have a delete button in the Project Dialog box)  that I didn't want created in the first place (apparently some missed option in the pack&go process) I now cannot delete the incredibly convoluted wokspace folder structure it created.

I deleted the project shortcut as was posted somewhere else and it no longer shows up in the Project dialog box.  However, the workspace it created cannot be deleted.  I had even removed the workspace from the project before I got rid of it.

I simply get a windows error that it cannot delete the folder(s).  I am an admin of this entire folder structure and everything beneath it.

I have opened and closed inventor making sure the project is still not in existence.  I have verified the workspace is not listed under any other project.  No other user has been to this folder or opened any files even closely related to my work.

3ds Max Animation :: How To Rig / Save Vertex Coordinates To Manipulator

Nov 7, 2012

In the Picture u see a spline (with and witouht render-mesh). I want to animate the deformation of the Spline/Vertices, without assigning each vertex to a keyframe.

First i thought i can do this via the Morpher-Modificator, but the animation happening there was not the one i was looking for.

Is there a chance to rig/save the Vertex-Coordinates to a Manipulator. So i can easily go from Shape1 over Shape2 to Shape3?

Maya Modeling :: Losing Manipulator Tools

May 19, 2011

It seems everytime I combine objects or do some weird deforming to objects the the Move Tool/Scale Tool/Rotate Tool drifts off into space and forces me to zoom out of what im working on to use the tools. This gets very bothersome when im moving a piece into just the right place and i need to be zoomed in. Im still quite new at Maya and 3D in general.

Maya Modeling :: Moving / Focusing Manipulator Gizmo?

Apr 18, 2012

I am wondering if it is possible to move/focus the manipulator gizmos in Maya.

If I for example am working on a tall plank and want to align the bottom part with something I'd zoom in to be more precise, but since the manipulator is stuck in the middle of the plank I have to zoom out anyway and find a spot where I'm fairly zoomed in but still can see the manipulator.. If there is a way to make the manipulator follow on the screen when i zoom in (without altering the pivot point) I'd be able to work so much easier.I am of course talking about all the manipulators (move, rotate and scale).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Select And Hide Surfaces Or Bodies In Workspace?

Sep 12, 2012

I understand how to select and hide surfaces and bodies using the model tree, but this isn't useful when my part has 50+ surfaces and solids and I'm forced to hover over each surface or body until the surface or body I want to hide is highlighted. This is possible using Soildworks but why not Inventor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Determine If Any File In User Workspace Is Checked Out

Apr 24, 2013

Is there any way to easily determine if any file in a user's workspace is checked out from Vault?

I'm building an Inventor addin to clear files from a user's workspace.  Before i delete any files I need to know if the user has any files checked out.  I was hoping there was an easy way(inside of Inventor) to programmitically check if a folder contains any checked out files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Save To Specific Folder Within Workspace

Mar 15, 2013

Is it possible to automatically divert Inventor to save to a specific folder within the workspace???

If a certain iProperty is set to yes, we want the user to save that file into a particular folder, if they try and save it elsewhere a message is popped up telling them an error has been made please try and save in the correct folder.

Admittedly I am not the most competant iLogic programmer but this is what I have thus far

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Drawing Views To New Drawing Template

Sep 20, 2013

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc.  I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.

I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserting One Drawing Into Another / Linking Contents Of One Drawing To Another

Dec 2, 2013

I would like to know if there is a way to insert drawing no.1 into drawing no.2 (not copy sheets!) so that if I change the drawing no.1, the drawing no.2 (the one that contains no.1) also updates.

That is because I would like to have one part of the drawing that is ''standard'' and multiple drawings that contain this part (so that this part is defined in all drawings but is always the same). Because I don't want to have a separate drawing for the ''standard'' part, but only drawings that contain it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Browser Shows Everything But No Model Shows Up On Workspace Screen

Jul 20, 2012

It was working fine.  Then I just did a simple command (pattern a part) and the entire workspace blinked out.  The first time it happened I hit UNDO and it was back.  So I got out of the drawing and got back in and tried the pattern again. Same issue but this time when I hit UNDO it would not come back.  I closed the file without saving and when I went back in the file the workspace is still nothing but white screen.  In the browser everything is still visible except for those that I had already changed to invisible.  I tried making an invisible to visible and nothing happened.  I got out and tried opening the "old version" which should've been before any of this happened and it is also blank.  I can go to an ipt or iam in the browser and hit open and it will open in another screen just fine.  I just can't see my main assembly.  I have Inventor 2012.  It shows no errors or messages.  I have even rebooted.  

I looked thru the forum and found a past issue back in 2005 identical.  I tried doing Find in Window on an item in the browser but for some reason that option is not even in the list when I right click.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Loading 3D Modeling Workspace

Sep 10, 2012

Curious as to how to load the 3D Modeling workspace so that I can access the editing features and whatnot without having to type in the commands.  I have seen a few different questions dealing with this issue, they pretty much said to into the "custom user interface", click on the transer tab and then path to the support folder where you would load the "acad.cuix"  file and drag the 3D Modeling Workspace over to the left hand side.  The issue I'm having is that when I path to the folder with all the different ".cuix" files there isn't a plain "acad.cuix" file to be found and none of the other options offer any sort of 3D Modeling Workspace?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Copying Workspace

Jan 8, 2013

I asked this last year, but never figured it out.

I am an AutoCAD user, not a Computer wiz, so the "obvious" isn't always so, to me.

I have my Office AutoCAD set up the way I like it.

I have an AutoCAD at Home that I'd like to have the screen appear the same.

How and Where do I find my Workspace settings?

How and Where do I put it at Home?
