Hello,
I have a few questions related to Inventor 11 that perhaps someone may know the answers to.
1) When making 2d drawings (IDW) the balloons like to snap to certain angles (seems like 90, 30, 60 degrees). Is there a way to turn this off? It gets rather annoying when trying to line up balloons with each other.
2) Working with IDWs has become very slow since moving to Inv11 from Inv10. This was on a previous PC. I now have a completely new PC (fresh windows install as well) with a fresh install of Inv11 and working with IDWs is still very slow. Moving/adding/deleting dimensions takes a good 5-10 seconds after the command is issued. Is this a known problem?
3) I work in the converting industry, and thus I quite often must create a web path on my machines. (basically a path of material over rollers, around finger rollers, between calender rolls, etc). It is rarely in a single plane. Currently I do this with a series of extrusions and lofts. Typically I end up with a good 10-20 work planes/axis to create a single web. Needless to say this is very time consuming, and a major headache if I have to go back and change something that effects the web path. Is there a good way to do this? We do not have the tube&pipe add-on. Would this be useful for this kind of work?
Thank you.
