AutoCAD Inventor :: Produce Usable Male Or Female Thread If 3D Printed?
Nov 26, 2013Does Inventor actually model threads? That is, would it produce a usable male or female thread if 3D printed?

View 4 RepliesI need to know how to draw an NPTF pipe thread, male and female. In 2D. Any good reference book would be welcome. An NPT thread differs slightly from that of an NPTF, but thats OK. I have AUTOCAD 2002. I am trying to update some of our drawings at work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI spent quite a bit of time modeling up a male sided mold to press skateboards in a vaccum bag. I want to create a female mold from this file, but need to make sure there is a 1/2" off set to account for board thickness. I've looked at derive and mold but since I have zero experience with either command I have spent hours going in circles.
The attached picture is what my mold looks like. Just a big rectangle that is 2" thick with some rounded contours cut on the top.
How to make the threads match on a male and female part. Using a tap size chart, I made a hole 31.5 mm in diameter. Then I added interior threads with a tap size M33 x1.5. How do I determine the diameter of the male part before adding threads? Would it also be 31.5 mm? I plan on 3d printing these parts, so I've also been using the thread modeler tool.

I definitely have "NPT" in my Thread.xls & I have my Options/Files set to point to the correct Design Data folder.

My colleague installed IV2013. He has excel 2010 installed in his PC also. However he cannot create thread hole (thread option is grey out).

Could not find file C:Program FilesAutodeskInventor 2013Design DataXLS13XLSen-USThread.xls containing thread data.
I can drill a hole as needed, but can't thread a hole at all. Not with the Tapped Hole function when drilling the hole, or after drilling the hole then using the Thread Tool. Inventor will just not let me create threads this way outside of cutting a coil.

The thread is M26x2.0
I can't seem to find any information for me to simply plug in the values into the .xls, so I am thinking that I have to crunch some numbers. which is fine. I just want to make sure that this image below is the correct the reference for this task.
using the pitch, I should be able to calculate all my min and max values, but the xls has class column and a tap drill column, how would I determine these values??

How to get this part into a usable flat pattern. I received the part originally as a stp file. I am running autodesk Inventor 2010.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is a way that you can use the geometry from Architecture in Inventor other than just a visual concept. I am trying to create buildings in Architecture then import them into Inventor. I have tried the "Sync Inventor" command but there is no usable geometry when it is imported into Inventor. I have used Navisworks to show the building layouts but I am needing to be able to take measurements and possibly constrain to walls or other solid objects.

For example, there is a assembly and I need the first part of assembling a list of items to consider in a data set, the second part of the list - in the second data set, the third - the third and so on up to N, where N - depends on how many threads can run in the system . Whether these flows are processed and to receive data in parallel? 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 ...?

I am having a terrible time getting the thread modeler to work correctly for an M16x 1.5 thread. I have tried multiple approaches to get the correct thread dimensions output.These are the steps I take:
1) Create hole (I've used both major and minor thread diameters,16mm and 14.376mm)
2) Apply Inventor threads (M16 x 1.5)
3) Select threads from tree using the Add-in thread modeler "Controller"
4) Analyze dimensions finding both cases yield the wrong dimensions.
This add-in would be very useful and a great time saver if it would work correctly.

When I go to search the directory, I find that the Thread xls document is infact there, but it is not located where the program thinks it should be (XLS Folder --> en-US Folder)
I also made sure that the Design Data location was correct within the Application Options...
A reboot of the computer did not work.
In my project file, under design data folder options, I have it set to c:designsStandardsStyles. This is where I have my thread.xls located.
When I try to place a threaded feature, Inventor gives me a warning that it cant find the Thread.xls file.
It is looking for this file in c:DesignsStandardsStylesXLSen-USThread.xls. Where is it getting this path from?
We are using inventor 2012 at my school and have recently purchased a makerbot 3D printer abd having lots of fun. However i recently created a model that has an M40 Thread as part of the model. However when i try to 3D print it, it doesn't recognise the thread and it isn't printed. I see the thread on the ipt but once it is saved as an stl it seems to disappear.

View 9 Replies View Relatedproduce a developed elevation of an assembly in inventor?
It is not sheet metal - I can't ask for a flat pattern.
Would it make any difference if I had an arc, or divided it up into numerous straight segments?
I need developed elevations for both arc and pentagon/hexagonal assemblies.
Refer to arc assembly attached.
"Developed Elevation" is missing from the "Place Views" toolbar.
When working in the drawing environment it is easy to accidantially snap the dimension to a thread symbol (the arc around the hole), instead of the actual hole.
I don't think need dimensions to snap to these symbols.
In the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.
I use the following code to get the information if a thread is right or left handed from an outer thread:
'Gewinderichtung Gewinde1If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = True ThenGewinde1_Richtung = "RH"'Else If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = False Then'Gewinde1_Richtung = "LH"'ElseEnd If
Now I also need to get this information from a hole feature but I was not able to adapt the code correctly. The error I get says that "HoleInfo" for the type "HoleF eature" was not found.
Aside from manually adding RH or LH to a hole note leader, any way of getting the HOLE Direction (left hand or right hand) into the leader note?

For our drawing standard, we don’t put the standard thread pitch into the thread note, and we have to manual to over write the thread note. But when the thread size changes and the note never get updated. Is there any other way to get the note to link to the thread size?
i get an error message telling (invalid thread data table. Please check Thread.xls file.i tried to reinstall the windows and the autodesk inventor but the error keep appearing.

4 i searched the c drive for the file THREAD.xls, and i found three of it and i guess they are fine.
How can I go about editing the text for a holethread note? I want to proceed the default text w/ the quantity note.
E.g.: 7/8 THRU
What I want: ?X 7/8 THRU
What file do I edit to customize hole and thread notes?
