I want to get a 3D print of a model I have but it is amodel of an assembly and it has to be converted to a solid body. 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. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. Recommendation: Position and mate at least one of the components before you begin, then select that component first. Upvote 1 Upvoted 2 Downvote 11 Downvoted 12 Arthur Kim Answered on 4 Apr, 2016 02:43 AM IF YOU MAKE ONE SOLID PART IN ASSEMBLY THEN USE MERGE IN COMPONENT OPERATION. Remove parts by size is deselected and the Exclude selector is active. Okay lets take the "can't change anything" out of there. Delete the assembly feature from the assembly file as it's no longer needed. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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. In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. To translate this article, select a language. Hi i did that it didnt work. 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. They can resize or reposition relative to other components as necessary. 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.

Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. If you want to edit with Inventor, then use a simplified assembly (=.ipt) file with the link to assembly broken. If required, check the Use color override from source component check box to link the color from the base component into the target part. I know from the title it might look like I just want to create a subassembly from parts already in an assembly, but it's a little more complicated than that. If possible, I would like to see examples. For more information see To Work with Presets. Right-click the Substitute you want to edit and click, In the browser, right-click the substitute model and click, In the browser, right-click the and select. In the property panel, modify any of the following as needed: Initial State - select a different model state, design view, or position view, Components - include or exclude additional parts, Features - add or refine the parameters for features being removed. file you have exported from AutoCAD. Creates a derived part with a single surface body. I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. To begin, create a part file. The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. Parts can terminate on the face of another component. Then I simply promoted the components I needed. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Standard parts and iParts about your issue and find the best support option save these pieces a. Works also with just update() command. SolidWork Newbie since 2001-Currently using SW2017 Inventor Newbie since 2019 Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. One more thing is that the mass is also written even if the file is read-only, and that is not correct if you use a release process. Verify that you have selected needed bodies, sketches, work geometry, parameters, and representations, and then click OK. But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. I think you are one of the persons that are familiar with the world of Autodesk users outside Autodesk, isn't it, or am I wrong!? Create and save your assembly Open a new part file Select the Derive tool in the Create section of the 3D Model ribbon Navigate to your saved assembly file on disk Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. Then I click the Save button while in the top level assembly and set subassembly_A and subassembly_B so that they will not save. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. Model State. Software installation, registration & licensing part resides with the assembly file > Export > CAD format save. #Autodesk Inventor Quick Tip: Simplify assembly to a single part I hope that the development team is aware! A derived assembly (not in LT) component originates from an assembly file and may contain parts, subassemblies, and derived parts. http://cadsetterout.com/inventor-tutorials/copy-an-autodesk-inventor-design/. I fully agree that this is one of the bigger problems regarding"Dirty files" files that need a save. I have addressed this more than once but still this is not solved. Solved by BDCollett. If you must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. You can make the new part associative to the parent part. Because both of the files are dirtied, save dialog will pop up, save them both. What's New:2022 Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. If unchecked, the appearance is set to default appearance of the target part. Creates the smallest file on disk. This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Ask the community or share your knowledge. Four built-in presets are provided, plus you can create your own. Is there a way I can override that so the parts wont be updated? This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Navigate to the SAT. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. Dec 5, 2012 #4 Karol Member I also like the replies you give "In General" and try to understand what is different sometimes between the theory and the practice. I'm not just dealing with two subassemblies. For part instances the instance number is iterated which yields "Part1:1", "Part1:2", and so on. 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. They are prompted to save, you can even see in above pictures, but TOP assembly does not compute the mass first time, it does on second save (when save dialog is not shown). Optionally, select a built-in preset to use. 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. The BOM Structure property defines the status of the component in the BOM. AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. The new part can change size when constrained to fixed geometry in the assembly. At assembly level, the mass is aggregated from the parts (per quantity per Reference). Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Assembly features are features that show up in the assembly drawing and not in the part file. 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. RMB on the derive node in the model browser and select "Suppress Link" to temporally break the part's dependency on the assembly file. Repeat the same process in steps 2 & 3 on the other parts. Also if the file is already released this mass is alwasys written tot the part or assembly without checking if the file is editable in Vault terms. Excludes component from the derived part. option, then open it in. "If you find my answer solved your question, please select the Accept Solution icon", John HackneyRetiredBeyond the Drafting Board. Is this possible? You also can click a status icon next to an individual object and toggle the status options. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following.

Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)" Create the new empty 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. If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. (Suppressed components are excluded; this cannot be changed. A STEP file maintains the BREP geometry of the original. If you save the assembly again (without save dialog for multiple files), it will update the mass with no problem. save the assembly as SAT file using Save Copy As. In the Open dialog box, browse to the assembly file (.iam) to use as the base component. A STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. Auto-detect locates and highlights the components. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. I learn new things pretty much every day. Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). Use the From To or To extents options for Extruded features. Can you post some screen shots of what you see? What I have is one major assembly, consisting of a collection of parts as well as some subassemblies. Begin selecting parts or components in the canvas. Choose from. I could be wrong but I don't think this is a bug. Check out the derived part tool. One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Subtracts component from the derived part. 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 the base part contains multiple visible solid bodies, select the required bodies to create a multi-body part. I'm open to suggestions for doing this another way, I just need a way to create an exploded view from components already in place but in separate assemblies. I wrote a post about it which you can find here: Please coem back with any questions once you've examined the options! While it is true that a STL file has no connection to the model that produced it (as with STEP), a STL file is no longer usable geometry in Inventor or many other modeling systems. 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. What exactly do you mean by "a solid body where I can't change anything?" If you save twice, it works. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Create a part or a virtual part in an assembly, Multiple components with older versions reference, Do not sell or share my personal information. Hi All,i have the same issue,but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated,is solidworks you do it in one "click"this is so useful when you need to convert assembly to simple part. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. Remove parts by selection (default). This sounds like a data management issue. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. Start a new part file, then go to the Manage tab and click the Import button. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. Make sure that you expand the lower half of the copy design dialoge and click 'search' again to search for any files that are referencing the design you are copying (e.g. 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. The Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part. If some settings could be changed only by admin, that would be great in Inventor! Extend Simplification Panel and choose Create simplified Part. 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. Granted, the OP was, > It would be a lot more useful (for me, at least). 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. In Solidworks, when I open it, all the parts are solids, when I save it as a part, it remains a solid? 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. Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Regards, Igor. The mass need to be recomputed. Furthermore since you have highlighted it: For (at least a Vault Environment) some application options should have been fixed and only to be changeable by an administrator. If you browse to the folder where you are saving the copy of your Assembly, you will see all the little parts being created. Here's an example of opening a STEP file (which I know is an assembly) and saving the assembly and its parts to a single location. ____________________________________________________________. Selects component for inclusion in the derived part. If required, click Select from Base to allow graphical selection of components from the base component window. While saving select option as surface. Go to Solution. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. From the Assembly tab. Step 1: Open Inventor and import assemblies from SOLIDWORKS actual assembly and allowed modifications. 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! We have "Recomputable update" set to yes. 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. I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Solved by jmdnq9.

Changes in position view can affect the envelope size. Can't find what you're looking for? By doing this we have reduced a lot of our Vault/Inventor related issues. 3D ContentCentral 2D 3D 2D 2,550,431 CAD 2D 3D 2D 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. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. For example: it would be common to "drill and pin at assembly" - two or more parts would be assembled (and possibly adjusted) and then pinned in place. The iProperties command is available for in-place editing of an assembly as well as in-place editing of a part. It seems that the most logical way to approach this would be to use promote and demote. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. Create a new part, then use the 3D Model, Create, Derive command to create one solid body including all the components you want. Disable "Update physical properties on save". Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. .Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor iLogic, API & VBA topics related to programming, creating add-ins, macros, working with the API or creating iLogic tools. Select the Hole patching options if required. You can remove geometry by visibility and size to simplify the part. When you click Create and select a plane on which to sketch, the part environment is activated. Save assembly (and all parts involved) to specific location using API. Solution: Running a clean uninstall of Inventor 2022 or uninstalling/reinstalling the update (s) typically doesn't resolve the problem. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. You can select more then one posting as the solution. In the Open dialog box, browse to the part file (IPT) to use as the base part or component (not available in Inventor LT), and click Open. There are quite afew options for copying designs. You can save the assembly in any format (i.e. All other situations are more or less not that critical. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. Inventor has a very nice dialog box that allows users to see and manipulate BOM's from either the assembly environment or the drawing environment. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. If the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. 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. Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum. Ask the community or share your knowledge. To select all occurrences of the selected item click the All Occurrences option. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? Go to Solution. What I can remember is that the Mass property shown is stored on two different places internally and there sometimes it goes wrong. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. Legacy shrinkwrapped parts use the Simplify property panel when edited. I tried using pack and go on an assembly. Create a simplified part in an assembly using the Simplify command. I can loop through all the referenced documents and save them to the same directory as the .iam file, but when I save the actual .iam it still saves a copy of everything to the Documents/Inventor. You select geometry to add, subtract, or exclude from the resulting derived component. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Can't find what you're looking for? Do not sell or share my personal information, Activate one of the components/part file in the assembly where the feature appears. In Inventor, go to the MANAGE TAB - iLogic Panel and click iTrigger. You can now save and close your template file. Check your SavePath folder. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. How can I save the assembly to a folder, and have it save all it's referenced parts/assemblies to that folder as well in a way where I don't have to go back and fix the references? This options should at least save proper mass, if you save it once and release it, but it does not, if it is not saved correctly as you described and as in above pictures. It is stored in the assembly file. You may still have to fix a couple of constraints, as promoting and demoting can do some funky things with existing constraints (Inventor does its best to read your mind to know what you want it to do with the constraints, but sometimes it gets it wrong). Hope you understand the issue here and maybe it is more or less only needed when using Vault and released files. If the Y-axis is perpendicular to the Top plane, the model is rotated so the Inventor Z-axis is perpendicular to the View Cube Top plane. What You Will Do: Prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests Produce drawings of Plan Views, exploded Assemblies, Assemblies, and Components. Enter a meaningful name for the new part file. The Simplify command is not accessible when the model is in Express mode. If the Update Physical Properties on Save options is turned on, the affected files should be prompted to save. I'm starting with a STEP file (from a vendor). Hello all. The subassemblies and components of them are older version files. Go to Solution. Later the parts are updated. Going back to the original Derived Component idea, you can Suppress Link or even Break Link with the original. You can override any value. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. Solved by Cadmanto. This is the default option. If the option is set to No, the files will not be prompted to saved. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. Selects element for inclusion in the derived part. (The iMate may be used, but not edited.). Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. If the subtracted component intersects with the part, the result is a cavity. This is a known issue for a long time already in Inventor (at least since 2012 of Inventor). A geometric constraint is applied (by default) between the selected face and the face created from the new sketch. Do not sell or share my personal information. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies and select or clear Save new components to external files. Try it for yourself-- I just did. i have the same issue, but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated. Let me walk through the process of updating mass prop. To begin, create a part file. whole assembly will be saved as a single part. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. Creates a multi-body part that retains selected components as individual solid bodies. 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. More information about creating simplified part in: To Combine Components into Simplified Part Select features, bodies, surfaces, visible 2D and 3D sketches, work features, parameters, and iMates to include or exclude from the derived part. Either you save or you don't. If it's another solid modeling software (SW, for instance), then STEP. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. For example, an occurrence that is invisible is set to Exclude. If required, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Drawings!). Change the part a bit so it gets dirtied (also assembly will get dirtied). If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. Component position contributes to defining the envelope size. 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. If you're starting with a STEP file then you should be able importit as a part file rather than an assembly. How take an Autodesk Inventor assembly and simply it to a single part file to one solid body to simplify the modeling. If desired, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. To my opinion it should either work in Inventor and In an environment with Vault to. When accessed from the BIM Content environment, theOutput Type is locked to Substitute. It does not update the mass of the top assembly in case there is a save dialog for multiple documents. 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. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). Then, I have to fix all the references. For example, an assembly with five parts creates a part with five solid bodies. Descibe the final use of your "a solid body where I can't change anything". As a side note, the derive functionality is also used for mirrored parts, substitute Level of Detail parts and simplified parts. 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. I have never done this and I have to say that I don't remember seeing this question posted here before. If all you want is a dumb solid (not editable one after the translation), >a dumb solid (not editable one after the translation), You are such a great educator JD, it is unbelievable! Report 1 Like Reply Message 3 of 7 cwhetten in reply to: JavaLodge I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. Can't find what you're looking for? Also and more critical that if the file is to be released in Vault that the mass is filled in correctly, this is often not the case. I see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. When I go to save the new assembly I get told Older Version file, and saving will convert the files tot he current version. They have a browser representation, have properties such as quantity, BOM Structure, Part Number, and so on. @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior.
