AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions Causing Unwanted Angles
Jul 9, 2012The issue I have with Inventor 2010 is when i dimension a rectangle to be 44 in wide and 79 in height it becomes a slated rectangle. This event occurs on the work version of Inventor 2010. I have an educational version of Inventor 2010 at home and when I tried this same dimension rectangle at home it didn't have this issue. Is there a setting I need to turn off to fix this.

Oct 23, 2012My company is trying to Standardize all drawings produced to 1 format. the one we are attempting to create would be in the form of: nominal upper limit^lower limit. this is easily acheived in autocad and linear, chamfer, and hole/thread dimensions in inventor. but radii's and diameters from a round surface (as apposed to linear diameters) we have run into a snag with. We cannot seem to find a way to either remove the prefix symbols or be able to insert text between the symbol and tolerance.
below is a illistration of the problem and the form of the new dimensions.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Drawing Lines At Specific Angles

View 2 Replies View RelatedPaint.NET :: Drawing With Angles
Jan 7, 20141. Is there anyway to adjust the angles of lines outside of just using trial and error? For instance, I just the line tool and create a line - it tells me what angle the line is, and I have to move tiny little amounts to try and make the line a certain angle. Another example would be when you paste something and are rotating it, again, you have an angle value, but you just have to kind of eye it and get it close. So is there a way I can adjust these (using a field where I can type in the numbers I want for instance)?
2. I'm creating a line that isn't straight. Over the course of the line it deviates from 0 degrees to 5 degrees. Is there anything that I can use to create tick or hash marks along the line that would be right angles to the line at the portion they are located at?

For example, the value of deflection angle can provided while WHILE drawing the horizontal alignment by typing ‘dd (attached). Is there a way to specify the value of radius (R) while drawing the horizontal alignment?

AutoCad 3D :: Arc Dimensions In 3D Wire Drawing
Jul 31, 2012I use Cad for Mac 2011. I made this "3d"-wire drawing to find out the angles of an object. Now when I make an angular inquiry the value given is right. When I try to put in an angular dimension it does not work. I put in a screenshot here to be more clear. This is the situation viewed from southeast:
Agular dimension.jpg
So, the angle I want to put the dimension to is the one between the red lines. When I choose "Angular Dimension" and then pick the two lines the dimension is automatically put on the two white lines next to the red lines. While the verteces of the dimension lay on the picked red lines the arrows point to the white lines and the value given also refers to them.
AutoCad 3D :: Dimensions In Drawing Placed On One Plane?
Apr 20, 2010I would like to ask a question about dimensions in 3D drawing being placed on one plane. I have a 3D drawing, and when I draw a dimension, it gets placed by the program on the XY plane. The dimensions do not stay along the dimensioned objects. see the attached picture. For example, you draw a line from [1,1,1] to [3,3,3] and then dimension it. The dim line is placed to [1,1,0]-[3,3,0] instead of along the line.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Repositioning Dimensions In Drawing Through API?
Jun 24, 2013I'm trying to reposition dimensions in a drawing through the API. The output of my code seems to indicate the method is working, but after it runs the drawing is unchanged. Here's the code (in VBA):
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
Set oSheet = oDoc.Sheets.Item(1)
Dim oLdim As LinearGeneralDimension
Dim oLeaderNote As LeaderNote
Dim oDimLine As LineSegment2d ' Dimension Line
Dim oStartPt As Point2d ' Dimension Line Start Point
Dim oEndPt As Point2d ' Dimension Line End Point

Looks like it moved my vertical dimension left, but it doesn't actually do anything. Is this not a viable method for repositioning a dimension?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Retrieving Dimensions In Drawing
Oct 8, 2012I created a sketch then tried to retrieve dimensions in a drawing from the sketch. When I used the retrieve function, no dimensions appeared. I made sure that the box in the Application Options under the Tools tab was checked for retrieving all dimensions upon placement. I have tried numerous ways to retrieve the dimensions, and while I can place them manually, I really need to be able to retrieve all at once as seen on the sketch.
I have been able to use the retrieve function before on files that I downloaded from a website so I know to use the function.
I'm attaching a file which I am having trouble retrieving dimensions. I am using Inventor 2013 educational version.

Jan 11, 2013I'd like to take a set of ordinate dimensions and multiply all the values by 10. Is this possible, without overriding the values and making them static?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm making a flat layout sketch for pockets around a drum. So imagine taking a drum and rolling it out flat. In the direction along the drum I drew it as 1" = 1" and for the circumfrence direction I did 1" = 10° so I don't have sketch that is 13" x 360". So I need to scale the dimensions in 1 direction up by 10.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Drawing Dimensions
Oct 11, 2012I got a new computer recently and installed Inventor 11. I found I could not change the drawing dimensions (It chanced in the Edit Box and shown the changes in the dimensions, but after click "OK", the Edit Box closed and the dimension did not change).
I remember there were the similar problems before and I installed KB918118 fixed it. So I tried to install KB918118. But my computer shown a message saying my computer system is newer and do not need the KB918118 update.
AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Applying Drawing Dimensions?
Jun 22, 2009I am wondering how best to apply drawing dimensions to a view. I am using VBA (Inventor 2010 x64) to modify a template skeletal assembly and save it. I have succeeded at generating the models, drawings, and drawing views, but have hit a wall when I attempt to automate the process of applying drawing dimensions.
I attempted to use GeneralDimensions.Retrieve with the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter, as I wish to retrieve only a few dimensions. My testing, however, indicated (and the helpfile confirmed) that the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter only work if the DimensionConstraint objects belong to a drawing sketch, and I'm retrieving dimensionconstraints from a model sketch. It appears to me that I will have to retrieve all dimensions and then somehow delete the unnecessary ones. This seems unusual to me--is there a better way? Can I, for example, retrieve a single dimensionconstraint at a time from the model rather than all of them at once? Perhaps its suitable applying drawing dimensions without retrieving them from the model?

However, dimensions on new drawing are displayed in random way (look "Pic2"). Is there a way (iLogic, VBA or smth els) to fix/link dimensins so - that they could stay in an appropriate way (space between dimensions, space between dimension and edge, dimension is centered on line with arrows) when the model size is changed (in this example I have changed the base diameter from 830 to 1280)?
Function "Arrange dimension" does not solve the problem!
