why the Punch i created causes the following?
1. The punch will not work with part 1.I have 4 points for the Punch on part-1
2. When attempting to get the 4 punch holes on to the flat sheet it causes inventor to shutdown.I have done 4 attempts to fit the punch into the flat sheet (part-1) and 4 times it has shutdown Inventor
I am beginner in inventor, and I have to create punch and put them in library so it can be used later.

[URL].....
how to
a) build the iFeature correctly and
b) how to then extract it so that the orientation is not FUBAR when you insert it using the punch tool.
Attached are the dimensions I need. This shape when revolved about the centreline should produce a 'dimple' effect in the sheet metal part.
I am trying to make a punch tool in inventor for sheet metal. I noticed that for the features I could not select faces or flanges I did. I know you can extrude the same shape to get the same result but I wanted to use a face/flange so that I can retain the flat development. What is the best way around this.
To get a sense of what I am trying to make:
-square cut out
-on the bottom edge of the square I made a face that is angled at 45 degrees
It would be closest to a louver tool.
My company is trying to put some automation together to pull design attributes of parts and assemblies to drive routing creation in the shop.
The issue that we have run into is that for certain ifeatures, we need to gain access to the name (or punch ID) of an ifeature (primarily punch tools). Pulling the name of the feature that the tool created is relatively easy, but because you are able to change the name of the feature as it appears in the model browser, it isn't the most reliable way to get that information.
We are looking for a way to figure out what the name of the ifeature used to create the feature without referencing the resulting feature's name in the model tree.
I've included an example, and I'm looking for the name of the tool which should be "Ob_750X562".
I am trying to create a sheet metal punch tool, however, I must have something incorrect because the extract iFeature does not seem to be working.
I've attached a copy of the file I'm currently working on.
I'm using Inventor 2014.
I created a Punch Tool iFeature, everything seemed fine, I could save it without problems.
However, when I try to place it in a part with the Punch Tool, it says "The file has 0 volume changing features. To be a valid punch tool, the .ide file must contain at least 1 sketch-based feature."
I've recently installed ACad13 and it shuts down on me at least once, sometimes twice a day - A message appears that says "Display driver fail to display". I have also installed 13 onto a brand new computer using Windows 7 (64 bit). Or is it a problem relating to the new pc - everything else seems to work ok on the computer

The Punch will then go onto the Sheet Metal Plate
Sheet Metal Parts > Punch Holes (Contintued).
I picked the ADSK-METRIC-120 to change the hole size from 25 to 120, but the new hole size ADSK-METRIC-120 is RED color and I cannot refresh or finish it. why size 25 worked, but not the 120?

I have been given the task of figuring out a way to have etching placed on our parts to show the part number of the part. The end goal is to get the parts laser cut but have the part number etched into the part.Is there a way to convert text (i.e. 12345) to a sketched symbol that the punch feature would recognize and then add it to the library? Right now we are using 2012 but will be upgraded to 2014 within the next 6 months.

After saving several times I am not able to open the last saved version of the file when I open it after unexpectedly shut down. All my saving is gone! Nice to use DROPBOX to upload my last saving. Why are inventor undoing all my saving?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a part that we will cut out on a CNC plasma machine that will undergo a drilling operation. We create all the parts that will be cut on the plasma in the sheet metal environment because of the simple flat pattern export. Our plasma machine has the ability to scribe lines and also create center punch marks. It distinguishes between cut lines, scribe lines, and center punch marks by layer name. I need a way to get the center points of the drill locations into their own layer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a new computer and installed Product Design Suite Ultimate x64. Every time I close Inventor, the window immediately stops responding, then will only go away if I stop the process. If I click "End Task" in the Task Manager, it will start to look for a solution to the problem, then immediately close. No error report displays. All other programs work with no issue. All of the settings are default as installed.
So far I have tried:
-Reinstalling with and without SP1
-Installing the latest Autodesk Certified graphics driver
-Using software graphics
-Running as Admin
-Launching in Vista and 2008 Compatibility Modes

I recently installed Vault pro 2013. I was running Inventor 2012 at the time.. My vault add-in stopped loading. I installed Inventor 2013 and the vault add-in still won't load. I've gone to the Add-in manager 2013 and set it to loaded. I hit the "OK" button and nothing. Open the manager up again and it says "unloaded". Something is going on that is not allowing my vault add-in to load.

What is the easiest way to do this? N.B.: the path is quite complicated, so redrawing it with the pen tool is the last thing I want to do.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Illustrator. I am using CS6.
I am trying to punch holes in a circle using compound paths, as you can see here :
The tadpole shape and the human shape are the holes I need created in the large circle behind them. Both the tadpole and the human are at the front and all objects are on the same layer. When I select everything and choose CRTL+8, only the tadpole gets cut into the circle. the other shape just stays white.
I have the new cs6 master collection and all programs work well and don't cause problems when I shut down my iMac except Photoshop. If I use photoshop, anytime I try to shut down my computer all I get is a spinning wheel and computer will never shut down. This happened on cs5 as well and thought newer version would fix problem but it has not.

I purchased a new Dell computer hoping it would solve the problem but it didn't. It's still happening with this new $6000.00 computer running Windows XP Pro. Is this a known issue and would an upgrade to CS3 resolve this matter?
