Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. What You Will Do: Prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests Produce drawings of Plan Views, exploded Assemblies, Assemblies, and Components. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Additionally, some of the parts I need to do this with are design accelerator parts. Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)" Create the new empty assembly and save it. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. Navigate to the SAT. I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Selects element for inclusion in the derived part. No problem about prompting to save, it is OK with us. Try it for yourself-- I just did. 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. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. The virtual component is a component that requires no modeling of geometry and no file. Here's my question. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. For example, an assembly with five parts creates a part with five solid bodies. 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 time consuming and not effective. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Adaptive (controlled by relationships to other assembly components). 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! 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. It's just what you're after, I think. I need to search again for it but I am sure the mass is first written internally to the assembly and the part before it is written to the Physical Property, and there it goes wrong. If you're starting with a STEP file then you should be able importit as a part file rather than an assembly. If you want to create a multi-body part file, create one or more features or bodies. Try it and see if you get the same results. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. 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). Inventor Pro 2022.2.1 | Windows 10 Home 21H2, Mine steps has connectivity i dont know why, my step files some times need whole assebly in order to resolve the components, i an not using vault though. #Autodesk Inventor Quick Tip: Simplify assembly to a single part In Solidworks this is done by File, Save As, then change the extension to a part file. I have lurked around for quite a bit on the forums, and have learned so much already just from observing. The active design view displays. Parts or components that fit inside the bounding box are removed. The selected and all child browser nodes. Because both of the files are dirtied, save dialog will pop up, save them both. I don't want to post any files here from my actual project. I have never done this and I have to say that I don't remember seeing this question posted here before. 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. Click the selection priority you want to use. You can select more then one posting as the solution. There isn't anything lost. This is the default option. Changes in position view can affect the envelope size. 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!? 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? Then you can promote the components from the copies of A and B, then demote them into a new subassembly C. This will remove the components from the copied subassemblies, but since they are only copies, you still have your originals intact and all is well. I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. 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. Create a simplified part in an assembly using the Simplify command. Going back to the original Derived Component idea, you can Suppress Link or even Break Link with the original. This in Inventor world is called "Demoting". AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. Or ifyou like something that was saidand it was helpful, Kudosare appreciated. Auto-detect locates and highlights the components. If the subtracted component intersects with the part, the result is a cavity. 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! Go to Solution. 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. 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. Glad you were able to find resolution to your issue. Inventor iLogic, API & VBA Forum Also, any assembly consuming the part will have N/A. If you browse to the folder where you are saving the copy of your Assembly, you will see all the little parts being created. All other situations are more or less not that critical. For here internal we have written an add in that will the normal user not allow to change some application options and we have given only the Admin the rights for this. 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. It was also set the same in example above. Solved by BDCollett. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. only found the ipn files. Check your SavePath folder. Four built-in presets are provided, plus you can create your own. Now it works just fine. 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. You can save the assembly in any format (i.e. Go to Solution. Solution: Check one of the following: Option 1 Open Assembly file. This option allows the part to resize or change position if the constraining parameters or components change. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. It updates the mass of every sub-component (part or assembly), but not the top assembly, unless there is no save dialog for multiple files. Regards, Igor. Besides. I did try that break link command and that works great. Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. (The iMate may be used, but not edited.). What I have is one major assembly, consisting of a collection of parts as well as some subassemblies. BOM Structure has five basic options: Normal, Phantom, Reference, Purchased, and Inseparable. Change the part a bit so it gets dirtied (also assembly will get dirtied). If the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. There are many other application options that have similarconsequences! I notice that when I save the .iam file, it saves all its referenced parts to my User/Documents/Inventor folder instead of the same folder as where I am saving the .iam file. On the Bodies tab, accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected components quickly. To begin, create a part file. save assembly and all parts ? ). I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. 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). 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. The trouble I can see is that an assembly is released, while some of the parts (shared by multiple assemblies) are still being worked on. See step 7 below. I've done a bit of research on it and I don't believe this particular question has been asked before. To translate this article, select a language. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies and select or clear Save new components to external files. Choose from. It is stored in the assembly file. You can remove geometry by visibility and size to simplify the part. Create the new empty assembly and save it. If desired, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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. Unfortunately, we cannot have both. @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior. 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. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. 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 must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. You can even give multiple Kudos. Click the Other tab to select sketches, work geometry, and parameters. This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. To my opinion it should either work in Inventor and In an environment with Vault to. Select features, bodies, surfaces, visible 2D and 3D sketches, work features, parameters, and iMates to include or exclude from the derived part. I have all files unlocked (ready to be worked on), I shape them as I please, which is OK, then I want to save on TOP assembly, but it does not update the mass of it, eventhough all below assemblies get the mass and also the part. In Inventor - start a new Part file, go Insert-->Import. 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. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. 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. I'm going from memory on this process, so you might need to run through cautiously the first time to see if I've forgotten something. (I already tried all 'Save As', 'Save Copy As', Export', etc options). The Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. Software installation, registration & licensing part resides with the assembly file > Export > CAD format save. Click Options to specify the representations to use in the derived component and then click OK to close the File Open Options dialog box. An active selector has a blue highlight at the bottom of the control. I learn new things pretty much every day. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Go to the assembly and save it. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. Solved by jmdnq9. It is because the feature recipes and the parameters are already captured (saved), the mass prop can be evaluated when the geometry becomes up-to-date. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. 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. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Dec 5, 2012 #4 Karol Member Report 0 Likes Reply 6 REPLIES Message 2 of 7 jhackney1972 If needed edit the sketch and add dimensions in each part. An assembly drawing will show the parts assembled and any subsequent modifications that would need to be made AFTER the parts are assembled. Disable "Update physical properties on save". Creates a derived part with a single surface body. Ask the community or share your knowledge. Model State. i have the same issue, but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated. It found the individual ipt files and ipn files for all the relevant assemblies but didnt find the 2D drawing files for the individual parts. I fully agree that this is one of the bigger problems regarding"Dirty files" files that need a save. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. The only thing I expect is that if files are saved and checked into Vault, with the application options on: That the mass is calculated and filled in correctly. Can you post some screen shots of what you see? The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. This is done by associating the geometry included from another part, and designate the part as adaptive. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. In principle every feature; Option and tool that is available in Inventor should work with no problem in a Vault Environmenttoo. Success! Ask the community or share your knowledge. 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. 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. If you save the assembly again (without save dialog for multiple files), it will update the mass with no problem. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Use update2 document iLogic command. Remove parts by size is deselected and the Exclude selector is active. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. 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. Use command manageriLogic command to update mass (synchronous - important, otherwise it does not work!). 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. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. I managed to solve this problem with iLogic: Taking iLogic solution into the account, I came to few reasons why this happens: I hope I explained it understandable. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. I wish I could mark all of your posts as solutions because I essentially used elements of each to get my new file. I'm starting with a STEP file (from a vendor). Extend Simplification Panel and choose Create simplified Part. I know that we as person/generation are asking every time more, but on the other hand the software resellers promise us also more every time! If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. The subassemblies and components of them are older version files. So, what I think you are asking is to take various parts from certain sub-assemblies and marry them together to formulate yet a different sub-assembly? Place multiple parts into assembly. There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. If the base part contains a single body, creates a single body part. 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. Click OK. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. While I have never done what you are specifically looking to do, I did just try it (grabbing different parts from random sub-assemblies) and I was able to RC and select demote with the dialog window coming up allowing me to choose a name and location. Position. If you save twice, it works. Click the Options tab to select Simplification if required. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. Delete the assembly feature from the assembly file as it's no longer needed. 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. It does not update the mass of the top assembly in case there is a save dialog for multiple documents. 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. If it's another solid modeling software (SW, for instance), then STEP. As a Drafter you will prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests. The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. Solved by SEC_CAD. Ask the community or share your knowledge.

All rights reserved, Factory Design Suite 2018, Inventor 2018, & Product Design Suite 2018. If desired, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Select the options to bring it in as Solids and as a multi-body part or a composite, as needed. Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. Enter a meaningful name for the new part file. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. In the browser, the top-level assembly is unavailable, and the new part is active. For PDM workflow purpose, I suggest the files to be prompted to save, so that the Vault always has the latest and greatest version of the files. Granted, the OP was, > It would be a lot more useful (for me, at least). Thanks for pointing out new information, but I think this is a different issue. The same method can be used for creating your own presets. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. Drawings!). Glad you joined us from lurking in the shadows. option, then open it in. I see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. You can choose to create a virtual component. One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. However, doing this on your existing subassemblies will modify them, which you specifically said you don't want to do. 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. Changes in design views do not affect envelope size. This is a master list of components and their properties that make up an assembly. Thanks!!!! New parts can be sketched on the faces of other components that have edges or features needed for the new part. You can save the assembly as a part, and then it's much easy to deal with in your assembly. I don't know if that is defaul though, I did the " Save Copy As" then picked the .stl option, as for the other method, go to theAssemble --> dropdown arrow under shrinkwrap/shrinkwrap substitute --> Create simplified part --> single solid body--> click okay. Can't find what you're looking for? Any CAD program can be used to edit a solid body. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. However, this behavior may not be desirable for some users, who complain excessive prompting to save. The whole thing was rather painless, and a good enough workflow for my needs. A STEP file has no links to any of its origin files, and if you create a simplified part from an assembly and break the link, there is no longer any tie to the assembly and components. Whenever a part geometry is changed, the mass will need to be recomputed. If any are needed I will try to demostrate what I need in a smaller demonstration file. Is there a way I can override that so the parts wont be updated? But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. Specify the maximum diagonal value for a bounding box. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. 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. If you just Save As to STL format, what do you get? whole assembly will be saved as a single part. Then I simply promoted the components I needed. In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. Click Open to close the Open dialog box. Intersects the selected component with the derived part. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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. 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. Save assembly (and all parts involved) to specific location using API. Ask the community or share your knowledge. It is the equivalent to a custom part in a parts list. Now all that is left to do is save it, which you already know how to do but just in case. It seems that we have two different issues here. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. In the assembly environment you can use the Bill of Materials command (see Figure 1) located in the Manage panel of the Assemble tab. 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. Go to Solution. To translate this article, select a language. You can do it in two clicks with Simplify. If some settings could be changed only by admin, that would be great in Inventor! Hello all. So in affect the only changes that are saved are to subassembly_C and the top level assembly. From the Assembly tab. 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. At least one component must have an Include status. I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. Solution: Running a clean uninstall of Inventor 2022 or uninstalling/reinstalling the update (s) typically doesn't resolve the problem. Can't find what you're looking for? At the component instance level, you can override the structure to be Reference. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016 You could use the copy tool in the assembly environment. 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. Go to Solution. And, the assemblies will need to be recomputed. I think you are correct on that one. It seems that the most logical way to approach this would be to use promote and demote. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. For more information see To Work with Presets. Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? Hi i did that it didnt work. You also can click a status icon next to an individual object and toggle the status options. I could be wrong but I don't think this is a bug.
