AutoCad 3D :: Resize Solid In Inventor Fusion?
Nov 1, 2012
I am having a rather complex 3D structure i have buid out of solids in AutoCAD and then colored and finnished in Inventor Fusion. The whole image was made for a journal-cover.
I drew the basic structures in AutoCAD and then transfered to Inventor where there have been added some more smooth edges and a rectangular pattern of 1000 objects.
Now in the end i find out that only one single 3D solid is too big and i want to resize/scale it.
It seems impossible for me to do that in Inventor, so I transfered the whole file back to AutoCAD. Now i have the problem that AutoCAD is recognizing my objects now only as "block references". It is easy to resize the object now, but i do not know how to get the block refences become 3D solids again and transfer them back to inventor.
If i just try to transfer the whole data or save and load Inventor isnt opening anything.

I downloaded a .step file from a construction website URL..... It is of a screw. Anyway I want to edit the screw but when I open it, it opens as a weird ipt. It's like the part is an assembly but it's not a logo that I worked with before. Anyway I right click on the Base1 file and hit edit form. When I do that Autodesk Inventor Fusion opens. Is there a way I can edit this part in normal Autodesk Inventor or do I have to learn how to use the fusion program?

I'm trying to convert a 3D model saved as a .dwg in AutoCAD 2011 to a .stp file using Inventor Fusion Technology Preview. I did it once and it worked perfect. But since, every time I save the .dwg as a .stp in Fusion, it scales the object down to 39% of the original.

I was trying to show another user the Edit in Fusion feature in Inventor 2012 but she doesn't have that ribbon panel. We went into the Part tab in Application Options and Inventor Fusion was selected to Edit Base Solids. We even unselected it, applied it, closed the options and then selected it again. But still there is no Fusion panel under the Model tab when editing a part. Yes, it's installed on her machine. We checked.
The only difference is that she's also installed the 2013 suite, as well. I have the Fusion panel and have not installed any 2013 apps.

Any good IGES to Autocad converter? Does Inventor fusion support IGES?

I have recently put Auto Cad 2012 on my laptop, but seems to be very slow. While doing this fusion inventor also downloaded.I was wondering could I remove Inventor as I don't use it, without that effecting my auto cad program? All I do is just basic 2D drawings on autocad and need to speed it up. Could I also remove Autodesk 2012 libary?

When I want to edit a solid part in Inventor 2012, I click the "Edit Form" button which automatically launches Fusion. Units are defaulted to cm every time (I don't understand why it can't autodetect units) and the first thing I do is switch them to inches (english). I edit my part then return to Inventor. The part has been resized (smaller by a factor of 2.54) and moved off my original origin. I cannot figure out how to get around this HUGE problem. This has made Fusion useless to me and has drastically reduced the functionality of my ablility to solid edit.
If Fusion is intigrated into Inventor, why does it behave as a totally different product (reversed scroll wheel direction, different units, no refrencing between Inventor features and Fusion, etc.)? It's as if the Fusion programing team and the Inventor programming team met for just long enough to put the Fusion button in Inventor and nothing more.

I just started using Inventor and it is very slow, freezes for a few seconds, and is non responsive. My AutoCAD Architecture 2012 works just fine.

I get the following error when I try to launch Fusion from within Inventor (or on it's own):
The application is unavailable. There was an error while initializing the graphics subsystem. This is likely due to one or more of the following: your graphics driver is not configured for "True Color", there was a problem installing the application, the application installation was damaged, or some other problem with the graphics hardware and drivers or the configuration of the application. More detailed information may be included below.
Also, when I try to switch to Realistic Visual Style, it will not allow me to. When I go into Application Options, Hardware, and try to set it for Quality it always goes back to Compatibility.

I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.
When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"
When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."
Or, another variation on this erorr:
"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."

I am making a design on inventor 2013 for a colleague who does not know how to use the inventor.
I want to make the solid and then set something up that allows the user to change a few of the parameters of the solid in a very user friendly way (i.e. a box that says "cylinder radius" and has an input box so the user can enter a value).

I'm having some problems with inventor fusion and autocad mep.I have a solid object that i would like to edit in inventor but i get the unknown command error when entering editinfusion
I went through the cuiload and loaded the cuix. file and now the icon editinfusion shows up on the ribbon. After selecting a solid object and clicking on the icon i get the same error message.
So i went to AutoCAD 2013 (not MEP) and did the same thing and it worked.
My question is, can MEP and fusion work with one another or does this strickly have to be AutoCAD and Fusion?

I am currently creating a 3D model of a building of a complicated geometry. I managed to do this in AutoCAD 2013 but when I exported the iges file and imported it to AutoCAD Inventor Fusion, I get a lot of skewness. This is particularly so for the cylinders I extruded in AutoCAD 2013.I have been looking at this problem for almost a week already. I have attached the photo of the skewness shown in AutoCAD Inventor Fusion.

I'm working on a PC in windows 7 and using CS5. I have Extensis Suitcase Fusion 3 for font management but someone told me that this may be why my Illustrator in particular is so slow. I frequently have to sit and wait for it to catch up to me while the top title bar says "Not responding". I don't want to give up my suitcase font manager - I really like it. Surely these programs can get along??

We have this need to have all of the solids in a drawing to be placed in the "solid" layer.
Sometimes folks are drafting lines to develop these solids, and keeping the lines on the "solid" layer, rather than moving them to another layer, or deleting them altogether.
I could get folks to run this command before leaving the drawing.
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
Select all entities that are on the solids layer that are not solids.
If nil, great, do nothing.
If entities are selected, let me do something with them.
I'm hoping the following can be modified ever so slightly.
(setq non_solid (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "3DSOLID")(cons 8 "solid"))))

I have a.3ds file imported into Civil 3d. The object imported as a polymesh in Civil 3d. I need the solid 3d object to do some edit like slice or union and subtract.
The question is "How can I import .3ds into Civil 3d as a solid objects or hoe can i convert polymesh to solid?"

I have finally created the shell of the complex surface that you see. This is only a section of the part because I cannot show the whole thing for proprietary reasons. I formed solid surfaces using the network command. The propblem is that it will not convert to a solid because the surface seams are not "water tight." When the network command created the solid surfaces, the surface seams do not exactly match the lines so there are gaps in all the seams. I have tried blending, patching, etc. and nothing works. how to convert this to a solid without losing the outlines and the shape?

How can I remove the lines in the middle after I press and pull the objects.
Attached is the Untitle.jpg, to make more clearer to you. Blue is the wall and skyblue is the aquarium. I want the back and the front of the aquarium don't have any line in the middle but even I do shade command the fill of the color is still there. Cause if I explode and delete the line in the middle the colors that fill the aquarium are getting rid off See Untitled 2.Jpg to see what I mean. And also how can make the aquarium Untitle 3.jpg transparent?

I'm having a very frustrating glitch when working with *.idw drawings. Whenever I create a new sheet in the drawing, the boarder on several of the other sheets resizes, and which sheets resize as well as the size they change to seems completely random.
For example, I have an 8-sheet drawing. If I go to the last sheet, which is B-sized, and then RMB->New Sheet in the browser, Inventor creates the new sheet just fine. As I go back up and look at all my sheets, the boarder for sheets 1, 2 and 8 (B-size sheets) has been changed to C-sized. Sheet 3, an A-size, has its boarder as a C-size as well. Sheets 4-5 (C-sized) and 6-7 (B-sized) are just fine. I deleted the new sheet, went to sheet 5 instead, and then created the new sheet. This caused different sheets to change to different random boarder sizes.

I have an ifeature (find in an attachement).
My question is: it possible to insert ifeature and get end result as new solid added to a part file
As of now when I add ifeature it merges with the previous solid. I think I am missing something
