Go to Solution. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. Going back to the original Derived Component idea, you can Suppress Link or even Break Link with the original. If you selected them on the File Open Options dialogs, you can change them here. Try it and see if you get the same results. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. At least one component must have an Include status. : step, igs, parasolids, etc.) Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. 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. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Hope you understand the issue here and maybe it is more or less only needed when using Vault and released files. I have never done this and I have to say that I don't remember seeing this question posted here before. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. Go to Solution. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. There are quite afew options for copying designs.

Inventor iLogic, API & VBA Forum If the base part contains multiple visible solid bodies, select the required bodies to create a multi-body part. 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. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. While saving select option as surface. Click Open to close the Open dialog box. You can make the new part associative to the parent part. For a Vault environment this is called a Dirty Maker and is frustrating enough to update everytime. At assembly level, the mass is aggregated from the parts (per quantity per Reference). 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. There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. Hello all. Either you save or you don't. When I use the Shrinkwrap feature, it turns everything into surfaces. Standard parts and iParts about your issue and find the best support option save these pieces a. I tried that tool but that's not what I wanted to do. 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. If the option is set to No, the files will not be prompted to saved. 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. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. Is it possible to convert an assembly into a parts file? 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 you're starting with a STEP file then you should be able importit as a part file rather than an assembly. Regards, Igor. If any are needed I will try to demostrate what I need in a smaller demonstration 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 time consuming and not effective. Solved by jmdnq9. With the geometry projected finish the sketch and extrude the feature in the part. Changes in position view can affect the envelope size. Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum, Select the Derive tool in the Create section of the 3D Model ribbon, Navigate to your saved assembly file on disk. When accessed from the BIM Content environment, theOutput Type is locked to Substitute. The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. A STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. A geometric constraint is applied (by default) between the selected face and the face created from the new sketch. The selected and all child browser nodes. If you save twice, it works. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Click OK. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. Select the Hole patching options if required. If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. In Inventor - start a new Part file, go Insert-->Import. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Assembly features are features that show up in the assembly drawing and not in the part file. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. All the components must be at the same level within a single parent assembly. Go to Solution. The Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. 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. Click Options to specify the representations to use in the derived component and then click OK to close the File Open Options dialog box. I did try that break link command and that works great. Creates a derived part with a single surface body. It is stored in the assembly file. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. It's just what you're after, I think. Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. There is only one BOM per assembly. 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. Click the Options tab to select Simplification if required. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. 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. Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. This is done by associating the geometry included from another part, and designate the part as adaptive. This is the default option. 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 page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. An active selector has a blue highlight at the bottom of the control. The same method can be used for creating your own presets. Can't find what you're looking for? In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. You can choose to create a virtual component. If required, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Check your SavePath folder. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. All other situations are more or less not that critical. Usually, you set this option once as a workflow preference. You can now save and close your template file. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. I tried using pack and go on an assembly. Lets say you have found a cad file on google somewhere that you want to be using in your modell, lets say it is an assembly, and you want it to save as a file without connection to anyfiles, if you save it as step or as simplyfy parts even with braket link you still need the whole assembly to drag arround in order to open a single part, and if you want to move it to another map you need to drag all the assemblies part, what i do now i make simple part and then save as STL file in order to completely delite link to the assembly out of this world. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. Try it for yourself-- I just did. There are 3 views of the BOM: Model, Structured, and Parts only (you can refer to BOM 102 and BOM 103 for more) It always reflects the entire assembly and its current state. Click the selection priority you want to use. Go to Solution. 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. I hope that the development team is aware! 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. Solved by Cadmanto. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)". Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. If the component does not intersect the derived part, the result is no solid. Ask the community or share your knowledge. Creating an in-place part has the same result as inserting a previously created part file. 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. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. option, then open it in. If one of the iMate participants is a bounding box, it is a new body and the face is no longer available. 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. Do not sell or share my personal information. The option is not available with the Master design view. 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? At the component instance level, you can override the structure to be Reference. If you just Save As to STL format, what do you get? Can you post some screen shots of what you see?

All rights reserved, Factory Design Suite 2018, Inventor 2018, & Product Design Suite 2018. 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. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. To Create a Derived Assembly (not available in Inventor LT) You may also include or exclude sketches, work geometry, and parameters. It does not update the mass of the top assembly in case there is a save dialog for multiple documents. If you must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. Is it possible to save the 2d drawings also ? Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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:.

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 required, check the Use color override from source component check box to link the color from the base component into the target part. I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Can't find what you're looking for? As we all know, geometry is all stored in individual ipt files and it is where the mass is computed based on the geometry. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. Component position contributes to defining the envelope size. 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. Select features, bodies, surfaces, visible 2D and 3D sketches, work features, parameters, and iMates to include or exclude from the derived part. Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. Click the down arrow to select an origin work plane as the mirror plane. How to convert an Inventor Assembly to Part? Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). 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. It seems update on physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. The .Save2 will save without a confirmation prompt, unlike .Save. 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. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. 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? Sam BInventor Pro 2019.0.0 | Windows 7 SP1LinkedIn, saves it as an .STL file. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. Solution: Within the Autodesk Inventor Assembly To use the Shrinkwrap process which is described in this article on how to create a Shrinkwrap part: To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. Also, any assembly consuming the part will have N/A. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly.
