    VBA - Create a 3D pipe along any polyline

    Hi, Maybe we can solve this together.. The idea is to make two circles to extrude along any polyline given. I'm extruding one circle at a time. But at the moment I'm stuck while trying to get the coordinates from my polyline. I get a type '13' mismatch on "polycoords". What am I missing? Here...

    VBA circles extrusion

    Hi, My mistake was that I was trying to do both extrusions at the same time instead of one at a time.. Also I forgot the "region" part.. Here's an easy example of my function so that everone can learn from my mistake: Dim D1, t1, l1 As Double Dim circle1, circle2 As AcadCircle Dim...

    Rotating sketches: How do you select direction of rotation reference line, in autodesk inventor?

    Hi, Maybe this can be of some help for you: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/InventorLT-Help/files/GUID-564BBF48-DAC0-4849-BF7B-AAD37F8775E3-htm.html I don't think that Inventor is suppose to work in the same way as say Autocad...

    Copy Part reference into a new drawing - Without ruining the pos. order

    Ok, this have bugged me for awhile. When I copy the Part references from one drawing to another the pos. numbers always get scrambled up in the Part list. Is there any way to copy them and still keep the original pos. numbering? Thanks in advance! "If you're not part of the solution, you're...

    Bridge Girder Buckling during Construction in Edmonton, AB

    Could the thermal movement really have that much of an impact in this case? It doesn't look restraint. "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" - John McClane,Die hard

    Timber design

    I guess you already have looked at the demo at amazon? (contents) It looks interesting to me, I just wished it wouldn't have had the part with the trees anatomy. Every timber construction book ever made has that part. It looks more made for architectures than designers. Can still be...

    Eurocode 3 - Accepted max deflection?

    Hi, What's the accepted maximum deflections of a beam according to Eurocode 3? Back in school I was told that L/400 is a good advice to follow. But where does that statement origin from? (I know EC5 have chart for this, but I haven't seen anything like that in EC3) Thanks in advance! "If...

    Cross-section classes. When do buckling occur?

    Thanks. For example an I-beam that would be to check the flange and web plate individually, right? (I guess I thought there was some conservative reducing factors that you used that takes into account the width,height,material of the individual plate and the cross-section, to calculate an...

    Cross-section classes. When do buckling occur?

    Hi, Let's ask the expertise. In EC they divide cross-sections in classes from 1-4. I guess the classes is similiar in other standards? My question is, how do you determine the critical stress in which buckling will occur for classes 2-4 on a specific cross-section?

    Bug, slow computer or just wrong settings?

    Hi! Thanks for the reply. I don't think I ever solved this problem. Unfortunately I have switched companys so I can't help this guy with it anymore. Anyway, My first thought about it was that he just need to use the update button more often. But if if that was supposed to be the problem, if I'm...

    Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

    Rotate geometry in sketch mode using reference line

    Yeah, I know.. It's most unfortunate :) This requires that all the lines dimensions/constraints is specified, if you don't want to mess up the geometry. But there isn't any way of rotating it without having to specify the dimensions first? (Let's say in a case when I really want to dimension...

    Rotate geometry in sketch mode using reference line

    Hi, In Autocad there is a command to rotate a geometry in sketch mode using a reference line instead of an angle. I can't seem to find this command in Inventor 2013. Does somebody know where to find it or have another simple way of doing it?

    Infinite construction line on inventor 2013

    Hi, What's the reason that you want to use construction lines? Personally I don't find any need to work with too much construction lines in Inventor since all of the dimensions and constraints are added after the geometry of the sketch is done.(and not while you draw the lines, as in for...

    Bug, slow computer or just wrong settings?

    Hi, My colleague has got a problem when trying to constrain in assembly mode. I'll try to explain the problem with an example: He's trying to "mate" one part to another, but after pressing the OK button in the "place constrain" window he gets error triangles on all previous performed...
