Hello everyone,
does anyone have an idea how to get Inventor to calculate a cost of some simple furniture details (rectangular and laminated chipwood) and enter results into BOM? Cost Center, iPropertys? But how to make correct syntax in first case or add (new) units into Inventor in second...
Hello sheet metal specialists! Here is one very simple part that I'm designing: http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loftnm6.jpg and a "very simple" problem I'm having is - how to make flat pattern from it? I have experimented unsuccessfully different ways. Is it still the same jam in IV...
Hello!
I have a crane model here. I want to use FEA to calculate stresses and safety factors for the upper beams and do it through a dynamic simulation. The problem is that it seems that I can use in simulation only components that belong to the main assembly but not to some of subassemblys...
I’m sure some of you here are furniture makers. So my question is what kind of partner products or other solutions are aviable to customise IV so that it will fulfill all needs (panel cutting optimizer etc) for furniture design?
Hi!
In Inventor 11 there is a toolbar "Drawing Custom View Standard" and a button on it "Rotate at angle". But - it's never active!? How (when) to use it? Help does'nt say anything about it too...
Hi!
Here is one simple question for IV guru. IV 11 is smart enough to group parts with same names in the BOM. But it seems to me, that IV does not do the same with Frame Generator-created parts?! I have renamed these parts under iProperties (same name to all of them), but this is quite...
Hi! Is it possible to use Dynamic Simulation in IV to simulate air-forced movements (how the piston moves and pushes something on it's way...?)? And can I simulate, for example, how the ball will move after a robot has kicked it? And what about tubes - can I calculate fluid motion, (allowed...
This should be easy and not questioned here, but... How in IV(11) simple (extruded) cut can be done so, that both sides are keeped? Or you can't do this?
Hi!
I have been SW user, but now "forced" to learn Inventor... There are many things that are different, some are good, some are not. One thing, what I have found strange is that you can constraint sketch at the origin only when you first create it. After you have closed it and opened again -...
Interesting... I'm in assembly drawing and I found that when I try to link custom propertie "SW file name" to one of subassemblyes, then SW puts into note a name of that subassy-s part number?? Is it possible to tell SW what it should do instead?
I'm sure SW have special location for them (macros), but where?? I'm asking about SW 2005. And, is there any list about them - what kind of macros SW already have (so I don't have to "create bicycle" again...)?
Hi!
Again troubles with Hole Wizard. This time it shows error messages like this: a)Invalid depth b)Invalid value for hole depth. They appear, when I try to change hole type. After I have changed to all types and start again with first one, it disappears. And with every new hole the same...
Hi! I have here problem like this: M3.0 (3.000000) Diameter Hole1 has thread that does not dissapear after chaging hole type. I mean - I created simple hole with Hole wizard (M3.0) that now has thread!!!???
Hi! I have find it impossible to make flat pattern of sheet metal part, and after that dimension it. I have here one part created from circle and rectangle. I flattened it created drawing, but now it seems there is no way to dimension it?! SW says that: "the selected entity could not be...
Is it possible to create auxilary view that shows only certain face, or surface? I mean usually SW creates it by unfolding all visible faces etc. For example, if I have a pyramid, and I need to view auxilary (real image) just one face of it - how would you do it, specialists?
The problem is, that I installed first AutoCAD 2004 and then SW. Now, if I try to open AutoCAD, it first trys to open SW Edrawings (!), and then tells me about error!? What can I do about it?
