Just picked this up within SW2013 which has the potential for disaster if not aware of it. Its already cost me a lot of time in rebuilding some assemblies.
If a sub assembly is within another sub assembly and you clicked on any part of the sub sub assembly and pressed deleat the whole sub...
We are working on a large engine with gearboxes taking drives out for various functions
Different team members are working on different parts of the design.
To make sure every one kept in sync and to update centrally should the design parameters change a 3D sketch file was created with key axis...
I know the answer to this is on here as I have seen it before but search as I may I cannot find it again
I want to take a drawing and a part and I think using design assistant save them both as a new number with links to each other.
The idea being to make minor changes to the part and then just...
Inventor 2011
When I make a single or multiple sketches when I select extrude inventor requires me to go back again and select all the areas before it will extrude
This is like doing the job twice If I did not want it extruded I would not have sketched it! Its not to much bother on a small part...
Probably not good asking this just before Christmas but here goes
I am trying to make a model using helical gears on parallel shafts
The content centre models seem to be for shafts at 90 degrees
ie Mod 1 30 teeth parallel shafts pcd is 31.5
the same for crossed shafts pcd is 42.43
All content...
Hi
I am trying to show a latch which has to rotate 90 degrees before coming out of its socket. I am doing an explode which I will take into a motion study and eventually send off as a e-drawing with the animation attached
I know I saw this as a competition winner way back (2001?)
But I cannot...
Hi
Does anyone know if there is available a nice detailed Bicycle block that I can insert into models to add more realism Ideal would be a Hybrid Mountain bike style
Many thanks for all advice
Hi All
Just to add a bit of realism to a lot of projects I do, Does anyone know of nay websites where I can download and install new materials such as concrete tarmac or even a grassy field to base my items on when I do a presentation
I dont really want the full blown photoworks but just the...
This seems a bit strange and maybe its more a gear question than toolbox but I am checking if anyone has any insight into this before I look stupid by putting a fault line into Solidworks.
I have been looking at a DIN helical gear MOD 2 40 teeth
PCD of the model is about 113.5 which is for...
I have loaded Inventor 2009 now and its gone in alongside 2008
Is there any quick way of importing all my settings over in one hit as it has come in as per straight out the box and has not picked up the settings I was using on 2008
Many thanks
Has anyone loaded and running 2009 yet. Remembering 2008 forgot to include autocad import I am wondering if to load 2009 or wait a while. Any experiance out there yet?
One of the common methods of bracing is a steel tube with each end put in a press and flattened and then the flat end drilled or slotted. I have modelled this as a series of extrusions fillets and domes but it never has looked quite right. Has anyone ever done this and what approach did you...
This is one of those non vital but extremly annoying things
Does anyone know what the criteria is in Inventor that determines if a distance constraint is a negative or positive amount. Logically it should be that it will be right 50% of the time but I find the error almost 100%. In other words...
I have just tried using Inventor 2008 Studio and it has disappeared. Normally I go to Applications down drop menu and select Studio. Only now its not there. I am on SP2.
Has anyone experianced this and got any ideas how to get it back
Many thanks

BrunoA started a thread earlier about this subject and I was not sure about starting another or jumping on the end of his. So apologies if incorrect.
Can the scale be entered automatically. Promted entry is fine but I have to remember what scale I used and may get it wrong. Less manual entry the...
I have a large structure of around 400 components that is symetrical about a centre line. It makes sense to mirror these about a work plane placed on the line of symetry.
This is in Inventor 2008
If I use the green button to Mirror the components and in doing so create new files it works well...
This is a problem that I have experienced several times before and wondered what the solution is. It looks to me like a glitch in the program
Pic 1 An array of beams are created from 1 original beam
Pic 2 These are the components I need to array up the beam 11 rows and along the array of beams...
I am probably overlooking something obvious but when I try to dimension and elipse in drawing page it says cannot convert to line or arc thus I cannot finish my design because I cannot get the dimensions on the page. All advice appreciated. SW2007
