    Productstream 2008 Question

    In our legacy ACAD data we used the parts library for fasteners and the balloon command in a manual mode. We did not use the automated BOM in ACAD. The problem is the inserted fasteners and the balloons created reference points and that creates a database within the drawing. When one assigns an...

    The PDM Question

    My company is in currently examining our current engineering practices and looking for ways to improve upon them. Currently, our methods are very poor, we are lacking clearly defined SOP's and not really practicing the ones we do have. One of the ways we hope to improve upon this is to...

    Free Drag of Parts and Sub Assemblies

    Has anyone else come accross this problem while working on an assembly? One places a component in an assembly, it could be a part or a sub-assembly, and then attempts to use the free drag to move the newly placed component. It has not been constrained or grounded, Inventor seems to freeze not...

    Has anyone eles had this issue? Recently a couple of our designers have made some changes to some ACAD files, saved them and then re-opened them later the same day or several days later only to find that the changes they made didn't save. It almost seems like Autocad is re-opening the bak file...

    Mass in the Title Block

    My company places the mass of the part or assembly in the Title blocks of our drawings. Currently Inventor doesn't give an option in the Title Block creator to add this field from the Iproperties (desrciption, title, material etc...). The work around is add a prompted field to do this, but...

    renaming parts or sub assemblies

    we typically start our designs with generic part and sub assembly names, ie plate 1, sub assembly 3, etc... as the design progresses we eventually replace the generic names with the actual part numbers. the only way to do this thus far is to open each part do a "save copy as" and perform a...

    Table Driven Parts

    I just started using table driven parts for similar parts (ie same part different lenghts, different features threaded or non threaded end etc...) for parts instead of creating one part and doing a "save as". When I insert these parts into an assembly Inventor creates a sub directory...

    Inventor to Autocad

    My company only moved half of our department to Inventor and the other half is still using AutoCAD 2000i (soon to be 2004 mechanical). I tired saving some things from Inventor to AutoCAD (both 2000i & 2004 mech) and some thing get lost in the translation ie hatch patterns, dimensions, section...

    Re Sizing Work Planes in Assemblies

    How can you re-size a work plane created in an asssembly? In a part one can grab the corners and drag them to the size desired. Why can't one do the same thing in an assembly.
