AutoCAD Inventor :: Fix Two Components Relative To Each Other
Oct 22, 2012I would like to find out how to fix two components in an assembly relative to each other, and using VBA.
What I want to do is to build the assembly (which consists of two components A and B, and also other components) and then animate the joint in component B. In order to do so, I have to fix A to B so that A moves along with the joint motion. But my problem here is that the attachment of A to B is not definite - it depends on other components in the assembly, so I cannot predefine a constrain between the two.
Is there a way I can easily fix two components relative to each other in an assembly without prior knowledge on how they are positioned relative to each other?
I'm thinking of measuring and then constraining the origins of the two part files in 6DOF, but I'm not sure how i can extract the angle between the axes and then constrain them in the correct way (mating using angles has always been confusing for me).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppressed Components In BOM
Apr 10, 2012we are using level of details to suppress few components. when we are trying to take BOM for that level of details. we are getting the suppressed components also. is there any control we can do avoiding that suppressed component. I know if you make the BOM sequesnce to reference that wont come in BOM. but we need that file for other LOD.

Apr 9, 2013I made a simple aluminum frame with clear polycarbonate shields. Somehow, when I put it on drawing sheet, some parts behind the polycarbonate are missing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Components Visibility On View
May 10, 2012How to manage the visibility of components in a particular view?
In attach file,View 2 is a detail view of view 1. On view 2, I want to display only the nozzle (Drain (H):1) and shell (C1306388341:1) component. So I need to set the visibility of the other component to false.When I try to code this, the components of model file of view 1 was updated not the view.
Set ViewDocument = oDetailView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If nozzleName <> ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next
The reference document I set for my code is not the document which contains the view 2. So I need to the actual reference document where view 2 belongs which is in the box of view 2 that contains 5 components.

Jun 7, 2013I have a VBA macro that places selected virtual components into an assembly. I can place virtual components with different part numbers into the assembly with no problem. When I try to place the second instance of a virtual component with the same part number I get an error.
For example: If I place a virtual component with the part number C123A456 into an assembly it shows in the tree as C123A456:1 If I try to place C123A456 again it errors at this line.
'Add selected line as a virtual part

I can place multiple virtual parts if I append -1, -2, -3 etc to the part number but I would like to let Inventor use the :1, :2, :3 to keep track.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How Vector Components Work
May 25, 2010I am trying to understand how fixed constraint works using Vector Components. It shows inches input, not ft/lbs. What I am seeing is if I put down 1 in in the Y insert and it shows the X and Z are unconstrained. What I am trying to is put on a fixed constraint to one direction which is Y. When I use 1 in for Y, it looks like it is using force of some kind. How this Vector Components work?

Jun 3, 2010Is there a way to associate components to layers so when they are placed in a drawing they are automatically placed on the proper layer.

AutoCad :: Scaling Components To Matching Scales?
Mar 23, 2012I've enlarged a component by dragging the mouse to the desired size (by visual inspection). I have a second (similar) component I'd like to scale to be the exact same size, but I'm not sure of the easiest way to do it. I'm thinking there must be a way to reference the scale of the first component to match its scale with the second component.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Animate Components In Subassembly
Jun 29, 2012I havent used inventor studio for animation too much. The question I have is why cant I animate a component in a subassembly? I can animate the parts in the assembly, but not any parts that are in a subassembly. Is this how it has always worked or just a 2013 thing. If it is suppose to be like this, I think it is ridiculous and pointless to have this feature. now I have to place all the moving part into the main assembly.

XP Pro, SP3
However I cannot find a fix? Is there one? I am trying to install Autodesk Inventor Suite from USB, and I KEEP GETTING THIS ERROR ON INSTALL - "Cannot update system components now. Please reboot the machine and try again."
Things I have tried -
1. Rebooting
2. Different account (admin, both domain and local)
3. Downloading trial from Autodesk, installing
4. Complete removal of .NET, reinstall
5. Enabling updates (mentioned in thread)
It installs just fine on other machines, same enviroment. I cannot find a "checklist" of system components needed for Inventor to install correctly; I've read from other threads it needs .NET, C++ Redistributable, that's about it.
Is there anything I can do without wiping the machine? Is there a checklist for versions of components required for Inventor to run?
