Sam BInventor Pro 2019.0.0 | Windows 7 SP1LinkedIn, saves it as an .STL file. This is the default option. If you save twice, it works. If you want to create a single solid part with no pre-existing features or bodies, choose Finish Sketch when you start the new part to close the default sketch. Glad you were able to find resolution to your issue. Go to Solution. Solution: Within the Autodesk Inventor Assembly To use the Shrinkwrap process which is described in this article on how to create a Shrinkwrap part: You can sketch on the face of an assembly component (or an assembly work plane) and include geometry from other assembly components in your feature sketches. Step 1: Open Inventor and import assemblies from SOLIDWORKS actual assembly and allowed modifications. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. You can even give multiple Kudos. Try it and see if you get the same results. It is the equivalent to a custom part in a parts list. Represents the selected component in the derived part as a bounding box and creates a body from the bounding box shape. Remove parts by selection (default). This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Most often when I'm doing this I'm removing subassembly_A and subassembly_B from the top level assembly, so I delete them from the assembly at this point. The mass issue occurs if we changed some sub-part in assembly (assembly being released), then it always wants to compute, which is logical since we would need to save (quick change) whole structure from that part above. Open the destination assembly, expand the Model States folder, right-click the Substitutes folder, expand New Substitute, click Select Part File, and browse to the part file on disk. For each of the listed feature types specify which you want to remove and the way you want to remove them: Substitutes are model states based on a simplified model. Try it for yourself-- I just did. It seems that we have two different issues here. Save assembly (and all parts involved) to specific location using API I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. https://forums.autodesk.com/inventor-ideas/application-options-changeability-blocking. As a Drafter you will prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests. Can't find what you're looking for? If any are needed I will try to demostrate what I need in a smaller demonstration file. In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. Do not sell or share my personal information. Solved by SEC_CAD. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Inventor will create an entirely new Assembly, and will create all the new components on disk while creating all the new file paths (hyperlinks) inside the Assembly file. When an assembly is released, it means that all components need to be released (not subject to further change). If the Update Physical Properties on Save options is turned on, the affected files should be prompted to save. Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. In the assembly environment you can use the Bill of Materials command (see Figure 1) located in the Manage panel of the Assemble tab. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. Dec 5, 2012 #4 Karol Member Click Open to close the Open dialog box. Step 19: Save As The hard part is over, the assembly has been made and you've just added a new skill to your tool belt! Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. The iProperties command is available for in-place editing of an assembly as well as in-place editing of a part. Going back to the original Derived Component idea, you can Suppress Link or even Break Link with the original. Autodesk does not warrant, either expressly or implied, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information translated by the machine translation service and will not be liable for damages or losses caused by the trust placed in the translation service. This option works, but only if you save it few times (at least 2), BUT if any sub-model is changed after top assembly is released, it will always need to update for the new mass, except if you "quick change" whole structure from changed part and above, which can be really tiem consuming and not effective. Glad you joined us from lurking in the shadows. If the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. When I go to save the new assembly I get told Older Version file, and saving will convert the files tot he current version. All other situations are more or less not that critical. Go to the assembly and save it. Autodesk does not warrant, either expressly or implied, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information translated by the machine translation service and will not be liable for damages or losses caused by the trust placed in the translation service. I hope that the development team is aware! It is set up this way to allow you to have additional processes done after the assembly, and for them to show on the correct drawings. Go to Solution. Autodesk does not warrant, either expressly or implied, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information translated by the machine translation service and will not be liable for damages or losses caused by the trust placed in the translation service. For example, an assembly with five parts creates a part with five solid bodies. I have been trying the Document.SaveAs function with the SaveCopyFlag as both True, and False but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Will this have any affect on saving as a new subassembly? But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. The relationships between the leftover parts would be retained, though you may need to apply new relationships if certain parts were held together by removed parts. If you prefer, you can make the constraint adaptive by setting an option on the Assembly tab of the Application Options dialog box. "If you find my answer solved your question, please select the Accept Solution icon", John HackneyRetiredBeyond the Drafting Board. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Autodesk does not warrant, either expressly or implied, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information translated by the machine translation service and will not be liable for damages or losses caused by the trust placed in the translation service. Then I demote or drag and drop the components from subassembly_A into subassembly_C, then drag and drop the components from subassembly_B into subassembly_C. Perhaps you can just save the original assembly as a new assembly and simply remove the unwanted parts. Inventor 2017.4.4 Update: INVGEN-6487: Fixed an issue where Rebuild all on a Frame generator assembly creates multiple Extends in part file INVGEN-13574: The browser node for Flush constraint now updates correctly when working with positional representations (except for Master) and setting values via API or iLogic. If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. Either you save or you don't. Specify the maximum diagonal value for a bounding box. Intersects the selected component with the derived part. Solved by cwhetten. The source is called the base component. All the components must be at the same level within a single parent assembly. Can't find what you're looking for? When accessed from the BIM Content environment, theOutput Type is locked to Substitute. Use command manageriLogic command to update mass (synchronous - important, otherwise it does not work!). Can't find what you're looking for? Auto-detect locates and highlights the components. Save assembly (and all parts involved) to specific location using API. You can create a derived part using a part, assembly (not in LT), sheet metal part, or weldment. Before you create the part, in the Application Options dialog, Assembly tab, select the check box for Enable Associative Edge/Loop Geometry Projection During In-Place Modeling. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. To attempt to remove the update (s) and reinstall them per this Autodesk article, get a full download of the update from your Autodesk Account. The element renaming follows this pattern: Surface body nodes are renamed "Srf1", "Srf2", and so on, and Surface feature nodes are renamed "Surface1", "Surface2", and so on.

What I need is to take some parts from subassembly A, some parts from subassembly B, and save those parts as a completely new assembly C. I don't want the assembly->subassembly relationship in the original file to be affected, I just want to create a new subassemly file without having to place and constrain all the individual parts again. I have a script which opens a STEP file, and I do some operations within it, and then I attempt to save it as a .iam file and referenced .ipt/.iam files. Ask the community or share your knowledge. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. It was also set the same in example above. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part I want to get a 3D print of a model I have but it is a model of an assembly and it has to be converted to a solid body. If required, check the Use color override from source component check box to link the color from the base component into the target part. Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)". today we are see how to export all parts & format any assembly watch it open file (Assembly) goto menu click to save as select pack and go select destination folder (path like:. Use one of these methods to specify the size: Click the arrow at the end of the value field to select a recently used value. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. If unchecked, the appearance is set to default appearance of the target part. @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior.

The BOM Structure property defines the status of the component in the BOM. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. At least one component must have an Include status. I can't find the command. When I've had a need to do something like this, I simply create a new subassembly_C in the top level assembly, and then save the top level assembly. Is it possible to convert an assembly into a parts file? The same method can be used for creating your own presets. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. I guess this is logical, in this situation we have 2 ways to go, first one is do not change anything, second one is, if we have to change, we would have to change the part and all files which this part is referenced to, which can be a lot of work and inefficient. Sounds like you are after 2010 multi-body solids, but I still don't understand where the "can't change anything" comes in? When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. Although there is no CAD model in our template, a step file should have been created. The selected and all child browser nodes. I tried that tool but that's not what I wanted to do. You should activate the part (double click, or rt click and edit) in the assembly before making the change if you want to see it on the part. If you can't get the result you expect, attach the STEP file here for others to have a look at if that's allowable. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. Ask the community or share your knowledge. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. I forgot to mention a couple things which was rather stupid, because they are important details. I hope this helps.Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,Curtishttp://inventortrenches.blogspot.com, Forum links:Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum|Inventor Ideas Forum |General Inventor Forum. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Is it possible to save the 2d drawings also ? There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. However, this behavior may not be desirable for some users, who complain excessive prompting to save. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. And, the assemblies will need to be recomputed. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. Creating an in-place part has the same result as inserting a previously created part file. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. Ask the community or share your knowledge. I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. When I use the Shrinkwrap feature, it turns everything into surfaces.
