AutoCAD Inventor :: Thumbnail Not Available In Multi Body Assembly BOM
Jun 11, 2013Is it correct that the BOM will not show thumbnails for a multibody assembly until the component are dirtied? I initially get 'preview not available' for all parts in the assembly. Opening a part and (for example) moving the EOP back and forth will then cause the thumbnail to show in the BOM.
Is there any quick workaround or do I have to write a macro?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi-select Parts In IPN File

Nov 28, 2013I've been teaching myself inventor over the past couple of months so I can design the rear suspension setup for my car.
I've got the IRS modelled with enough detail to show my engineer the concept, but I want the suspension to "work", ie each link will move as the suspension flexes.
I'm attaching the arms (blue, dark green, red and yellow) to the cradle (orange) using the joint command, and selecting "rotational". This works fine and the arms can swivel about a single axis as they should. But as soon as I attach the knuckle (lime green) to the other end of all the arms using the same type of joint (except the joint with the blue lower control arm, which is a ball joint), nothing will move.
I understand that in real life, each joint has a bit of "slop" in it, allowed by rubber bushings, which prevents the whole setup from binding.
To my uneducated mind, the solution would lie in one of 3 methods: Convert all the joints to ball joints (I'd like to avoid this if possible) Add some kind of flexible rubber bushing to all of the joints (probably not possible) Get rid of the rotational joint constraints altogether and somehow mate all the parts to each other using work points, rather than a cylindrical bolt and eyelet, so that each arm has full range of movement in both the X and Y axes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Has Double User Request At Inserting In Assembly
Sep 18, 2012We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Tube And Pipe Assembly Styles Don't Translate Into Other Assembly Files
Feb 9, 2012I have encountered a problem with the Tube and Pipe styles.
As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor
When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.
Steps I've taken:
Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam
Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work
AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Interior Volume Of Assembly By Subtracting Assembly From Block
Apr 23, 2012I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it. Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted. Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?
Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make Sub Assembly From Parts From Main Larger Assembly?
Oct 31, 2011My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Translate Assembly Component Using ILogic / Offset From Parent Assembly Origin

Or go to the consistent implementation of this algorithm will first be processed by the first part, and only after it will start the second ...?

Dec 21, 2011I am using 2012 currently. I am trying to make 2 key ways in opposite sides of a short aluminum round tube or bushing. the keyways will start at the top edge of the tube, cut to the center of the tubes length, then go 90 degrees in either direction going with the curvature of the tube wall, then back towards the top edge, but not all the way back out.The keyway will be through all, on both sides.
It essentially is a twist lock for a shaft with two pins to be pushed in, turned 90 degrees and sprung back into a locked position. What autodesk intended its Inventor 2010 and 2012 users to use to put this feature into the parts drawing or model.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet Layout
Jan 10, 2012Our configuration management tool requires a DWG for our system assembly drawings. A single DWG with all the sheets layed out in a sheet space. Right now I do a "Save As" out of inventor and it creates X number of seperate DWG files and then I stitch them together in AutoCAD by taking each sheet and placing them into a single sheet space (copy paste). My work flow would be much faster if I could get Inventor to create a single sheet space with all the active or selected sheets as a single DWG output.
