I have a pipe frame that I will be simulating using Autodesk Simulation CFD and it has multiple inlets and outlets.
These inlets and outlets go to panels (not shown) below. I would like to directly connect/jump these inlets and outlets to bypass these panels.
The created solid will be used as a...
Occasionally I work with sheet metal parts, but not in the typical sheet metal fashion. The company I work for creates pipe panels and a lot of the time those panels get cover plates(3/8" thick) welded to the back of them, which almost always guarantees that the plates are either rolled, or...
Hi all,
I'm relatively newer to inventor as far as experience goes. When I am creating multiple parts and I bring them into assemblies, I wind up with a lot of my sketches and work planes visible. Some times I am working with very large assemblies and it is very time consuming to hide each...
Hi guys,
I have an assembly. We'll call it a gate, made up of a base and lid.(hinged)
To display the COG in the drawing I've noticed you can right click the top level assembly (gate) in the browser and there is an option called "center of gravity"
But, If I were to expand into the gate and...
Hey,
I'm creating a 3D model, then a draft file. From that draft file I export the .DWG and .PDF formats for customer viewing purposes. Well.. the last sheet in almost all of our drawing sets needs to be in color. I have tried enabling the part colors and also hatching the part in the draft...

Is there a way to create a sketch on a planar face (ex. a rectangle) and convert it to a "block" or save it into a block library for later use? instead of using move copy and such. I know in solid edge 2D this is made available, but is there such a thing when...
Is there a way to show the center of mass of a single component in the assembly environment? The center of mass may influence how I locate this part.
Thanks

When creating a parallel plane from a surface you can choose which orientation you want by pressing the "F" key before creating the plane.
When creating a sketch on the surface you are re-oriented to the front view of the plane.
Is there a way to flip the plane after it has been created? Is...
