: step, igs, parasolids, etc.) Go to the assembly and save it. I see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. It was also set the same in example above. In Solidworks this is done by File, Save As, then change the extension to a part file. I tried using pack and go on an assembly. 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. This option allows the part to resize or change position if the constraining parameters or components change. @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior. 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. Can't find what you're looking for? Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. You can do it in two clicks with Simplify. Click the Options tab to select Simplification if required. At the component instance level, you can override the structure to be Reference. whole assembly will be saved as a single part. 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. Solved by JDMather. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. For a Vault environment this is called a Dirty Maker and is frustrating enough to update everytime. Solved by Cadmanto. 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. Navigate to the SAT. Can't find what you're looking for? All other situations are more or less not that critical. Only iMates for top-level assemblies may be derived. When you click Create and select a plane on which to sketch, the part environment is activated. 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. 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. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Try it for yourself-- I just did. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. I forgot to mention a couple things which was rather stupid, because they are important details. Autodesk Industry Marketing Manager UK D&MOpinions are my own and may not reflect those of my company.Linkedin|Twitter|Instagram|Facebook|Pinterest. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Solved by cwhetten. Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. Is it possible to save the 2d drawings also ? 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. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. Hope you understand the issue here and maybe it is more or less only needed when using Vault and released files. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. Changes in a model state affect the envelope size. But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. Solution: Check one of the following: Option 1 Open Assembly file. Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. Use update2 document iLogic command. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. 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. Regards, Igor. Position. If required, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. Component position contributes to defining the envelope size. The Assembly node is renamed to Assembly1. 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. Assembly features are features that show up in the assembly drawing and not in the part file. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. Check your SavePath folder. Virtual components are considered and treated as real components for all practical purposes. If desired, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. If you must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. 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. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Whenever a part geometry is changed, the mass will need to be recomputed. 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. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. Standard parts and iParts about your issue and find the best support option save these pieces a. Then I simply promoted the components I needed. To translate this article, select a language. However, doing this on your existing subassemblies will modify them, which you specifically said you don't want to do. 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. only found the ipn files. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. After you select the components, click Accept Selection. This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. Solution: Within the Autodesk Inventor Assembly To use the Shrinkwrap process which is described in this article on how to create a Shrinkwrap part: What I did was save this assembly a new one, and then delete everything I didn't need. Then, I have to fix all the references. I've done a bit of research on it and I don't believe this particular question has been asked before. By doing this we have reduced a lot of our Vault/Inventor related issues. The active model state contains the components that define the envelope size. When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. In Inventor, go to the MANAGE TAB - iLogic Panel and click iTrigger. If we have update everything, all files will have mass, but if we change some low level part, all structure above will have to be computed to get the new mass. 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. #Autodesk Inventor Quick Tip: Simplify assembly to a single part This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. It seems that the most logical way to approach this would be to use promote and demote. Once completed remove the adaptivity from the parts and the sketches, breaking any links in the sketches. Enter a meaningful name for the new part file. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. Creating an in-place part has the same result as inserting a previously created part file. Repeat the same process in steps 2 & 3 on the other parts. When an assembly is released, it means that all components need to be released (not subject to further change). Is that an only Inventor Pro function? Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. At least one component must have an Include status. To begin, create a part file. So solution is to not use the Application Options for this but write an add-in that does the calculation only if the file is checked out and not Read-only. 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. Go to Solution. If you browse to the folder where you are saving the copy of your Assembly, you will see all the little parts being created. There are many other application options that have similarconsequences! Remove parts by selection (default). Changes in design views do not affect envelope size. Parts or components that fit inside the bounding box are removed. Can't find what you're looking for? What exactly do you mean by "a solid body where I can't change anything?" The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. The selected and all child browser nodes. It seems that we have two different issues here. On the Bodies tab, accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected components quickly. 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. 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. This is the default option. You can create a part or assembly while working in an existing assembly. 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 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. In the Open dialog box, browse to the assembly file (.iam) to use as the base component. SolidWork Newbie since 2001-Currently using SW2017 Inventor Newbie since 2019 All the components must be at the same level within a single parent assembly. 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. Excludes component from the derived part. They can resize or reposition relative to other components as necessary. I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. Software installation, registration & licensing part resides with the assembly file > Export > CAD format save. Do not sell or share my personal information, Activate one of the components/part file in the assembly where the feature appears. A simple save as part would be great for what's needed! I fully agree that this is one of the bigger problems regarding"Dirty files" files that need a save. Selects component for inclusion in the derived part. Is this possible? Descibe the final use of your "a solid body where I can't change anything". If the base part contains multiple visible solid bodies, select the required bodies to create a multi-body part. Use command manageriLogic command to update mass (synchronous - important, otherwise it does not work!). Change the part a bit so it gets dirtied (also assembly will get dirtied). In the assembly environment you can use the Bill of Materials command (see Figure 1) located in the Manage panel of the Assemble tab. In the Derived Part dialog box, model elements are displayed in a hierarchy.

Will this have any affect on saving as a new subassembly? I can't find the command. There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. 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. It is the equivalent to a custom part in a parts list. Legacy shrinkwrapped parts use the Simplify property panel when edited. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. 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. Adaptive (controlled by relationships to other assembly components). Any CAD program can be used to edit a solid body. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Save -> "Mass Prop Update", "Implicit Update", or "Recomputable Update" -> set it to Yes. Can't find what you're looking for? Usually, you set this option once as a workflow preference. It is stored in the assembly file. By: To access: Right-click the file name in the Autodesk Inventor browser or Windows Explorer, and select iProperties. 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. Auto-detect locates and highlights the components. I think you are correct on that one. Continue selecting remaining components as needed to exclude them from the simplified part. A STEP file maintains the BREP geometry of the original. 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. Begin selecting parts or components in the canvas. You may also include or exclude sketches, work geometry, and parameters. Try it and see if you get the same results. I'm not just dealing with two subassemblies. Extend Simplification Panel and choose Create simplified Part.

All rights reserved, Factory Design Suite 2016, Inventor 2016, & Product Design Suite 2016. Creates a derived part as a single surface composite which retains the appearance of the original components. Or ifyou like something that was saidand it was helpful, Kudosare appreciated. Intersects the selected component with the derived part. If the base part is a multi-body part with more than one body visible, no bodies are displayed in the graphics screen. 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. Works also with just update() command. Sounds like you are after 2010 multi-body solids, but I still don't understand where the "can't change anything" comes in? Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum. 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. They have a browser representation, have properties such as quantity, BOM Structure, Part Number, and so on. One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. No problem about prompting to save, it is OK with us. The .Save2 will save without a confirmation prompt, unlike .Save. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. However, this behavior may not be desirable for some users, who complain excessive prompting to save. Solved by jmdnq9. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Report 1 Like Reply Message 3 of 7 cwhetten in reply to: JavaLodge 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! 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. Creates a single solid body derived part with no seams between planar faces. Represents the selected component in the derived part as a bounding box and creates a body from the bounding box shape. If desired, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Creates a single solid body derived part with no seams between planar faces. Click the down arrow to select an origin work plane as the mirror plane. You select geometry to add, subtract, or exclude from the resulting derived component. If you save twice, it works. Four built-in presets are provided, plus you can create your own. An active selector has a blue highlight at the bottom of the control. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. To translate this article, select a language. Doing this will execute the StepExport rule and export the step file to the SavePath folder. See step 7 below. AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. You also can click a status icon next to an individual object and toggle the status options. The whole thing was rather painless, and a good enough workflow for my needs. 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. 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. Ask the community or share your knowledge. 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 did try that break link command and that works great. 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. Granted, the OP was, > It would be a lot more useful (for me, at least). Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. Do not sell or share my personal information. Success! Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. If you're starting with a STEP file then you should be able importit as a part file rather than an assembly. 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. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. (I already tried all 'Save As', 'Save Copy As', Export', etc options). When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. This is a master list of components and their properties that make up an assembly. You can save the assembly as a part, and then it's much easy to deal with in your assembly. When I go to save the new assembly I get told Older Version file, and saving will convert the files tot he current version. Once you have your subassembly C, you can delete the two messed-up copies of subs A and B, and delete the temporary assembly you used to perform the promote and demote functions. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. This sounds like a data management issue. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. 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. Hi i did that it didnt work. I wrote a post about it which you can find here: Please coem back with any questions once you've examined the options! 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. What I can remember is that the Mass property shown is stored on two different places internally and there sometimes it goes wrong. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. When I use the Shrinkwrap feature, it turns everything into surfaces. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. Your choice!!! For example, an occurrence that is invisible is set to Exclude. Select or hover over "File" then select "Save As." Add Tip Ask Question Download Step 20: Save Assembly Go to Solution. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. The part renaming follows this pattern: "Part[sequence number]:[instance number]" which yields "Part1:1", "Part2:1", and so on. Either you save or you don't. The option is not available with the Master design view. 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! Glad you were able to find resolution to your issue. So in affect the only changes that are saved are to subassembly_C and the top level assembly. There is only one BOM per assembly. 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!? 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 Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies and select or clear Save new components to external files. 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. Go to Solution. The active design view displays. You can save the assembly in any format (i.e. 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. 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. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). Choose from. Click the selection priority you want to use. ). 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 possible, I would like to see examples. The subassemblies and components of them are older version files. Perhaps you can just save the original assembly as a new assembly and simply remove the unwanted parts. For more information see To Work with Presets. If needed edit the sketch and add dimensions in each part. Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)" Create the new empty assembly and save it. Thanks again everyone, you really helped. Verify that you have selected needed bodies, sketches, work geometry, parameters, and representations, and then click OK. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. Privacy | Do not sell or share my personal information | Cookie preferences | Report noncompliance | Terms of use| 2023 Autodesk Inc. All rights reserved. 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. Solved by jmdnq9. The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. In Solidworks, there is an option to save an assembly as a part. If the Update Physical Properties on Save options is turned on, the affected files should be prompted to save. You can remove geometry by visibility and size to simplify the part. I could be wrong but I don't think this is a bug. If you prefer, you can make the constraint adaptive by setting an option on the Assembly tab of the Application Options dialog box. 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. Okay lets take the "can't change anything" out of there. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. 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. Create the new empty assembly and save it. Creates the smallest file on disk. Is there a way I can override that so the parts wont be updated? For example, a setting of zero visibility means that components that are completely hidden in any view will be removed. Dependent components of a suppressed component are not listed.). Ask the community or share your knowledge. 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. As a side note, the derive functionality is also used for mirrored parts, substitute Level of Detail parts and simplified parts. The Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. Disable "Update physical properties on save". Solved by BDCollett. I've only been using Inventor for a few months but have rapidly grown to like it. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service.

A STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. file you have exported from AutoCAD. Click Open to close the Open dialog box. 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. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. 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. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. 3D ContentCentral 2D 3D 2D 2,550,431 CAD 2D 3D 2D Thanks in advance. As a Drafter you will prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part. Click the Other tab to select sketches, work geometry, and parameters. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. It might help to set the subassembly_A and subassembly_B files to read-only before starting this process, just to be safe. Here's my question. There isn't anything lost. Drawings!). 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). The new part can change size when constrained to fixed geometry in the assembly. I hope that the development team is aware! Thanks for pointing out new information, but I think this is a different issue. If the base part contains a single body, creates a single body part. BOM Structure has five basic options: Normal, Phantom, Reference, Purchased, and Inseparable. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. This is done by associating the geometry included from another part, and designate the part as adaptive. In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel.
