Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). In the browser, the top-level assembly is unavailable, and the new part is active. 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. Remove parts by selection (default). To Create a Derived Assembly (not available in Inventor LT) You may also include or exclude sketches, work geometry, and parameters. You also can click a status icon next to an individual object and toggle the status options. Remove parts by size is deselected and the Exclude selector is active. Can't find what you're looking for? If possible, I would like to see examples. Is it possible to convert an assembly into a parts file? Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. I have never done this and I have to say that I don't remember seeing this question posted here before. Go to Solution. I hope this helps.Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,Curtishttp://inventortrenches.blogspot.com, Forum links:Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum|Inventor Ideas Forum |General Inventor Forum. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part. Solved by cwhetten. #Autodesk Inventor Quick Tip: Simplify assembly to a single part Can't find what you're looking for? 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. The BOM Structure property defines the status of the component in the BOM. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. Can't find what you're looking for? They have a browser representation, have properties such as quantity, BOM Structure, Part Number, and so on. So in affect the only changes that are saved are to subassembly_C and the top level assembly. I see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. It seems that we have two different issues here. 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. Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. The mass need to be recomputed. You can create a derived part using a part, assembly (not in LT), sheet metal part, or weldment. Is it possible to save the 2d drawings also ? Solution: Check one of the following: Option 1 Open Assembly file. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. https://forums.autodesk.com/inventor-ideas/application-options-changeability-blocking. It does not update the mass of the top assembly in case there is a save dialog for multiple documents. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. Assembly features are features that show up in the assembly drawing and not in the part file. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. It seems that the most logical way to approach this would be to use promote and demote. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. While saving select option as surface. To my opinion it should either work in Inventor and In an environment with Vault to. Excludes component from the derived part. RMB on the derive node in the model browser and select "Suppress Link" to temporally break the part's dependency on the assembly file. Report 0 Likes Reply 6 REPLIES Message 2 of 7 jhackney1972 Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. 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. On the Bodies tab, accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected components quickly. I tried that tool but that's not what I wanted to do. Then I saved temporary versions of the subassemblies I had and then used component->replace to input the new subassemblies. You can select more then one posting as the solution. If required, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Do not sell or share my personal information. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. New parts can be sketched on the faces of other components that have edges or features needed for the new part. I've only been using Inventor for a few months but have rapidly grown to like it. This is done by associating the geometry included from another part, and designate the part as adaptive. Check out the derived part tool. What I have is one major assembly, consisting of a collection of parts as well as some subassemblies. Continue selecting remaining components as needed to exclude them from the simplified part. With the geometry projected finish the sketch and extrude the feature in the part. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. Excludes element in the derived part. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. A STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. Inventor iLogic, API & VBA Forum 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. Hope you understand the issue here and maybe it is more or less only needed when using Vault and released files. There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. Change the part a bit so it gets dirtied (also assembly will get dirtied). 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. Whenever a part geometry is changed, the mass will need to be recomputed. As you select options, other options that are invalid are hidden. Go to Solution. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. Changes in design views do not affect envelope size. Drawings!). Solved by BDCollett. Perhaps you need a dwf or pdf representation. The new part can change size when constrained to fixed geometry in the assembly. If you save twice, it works. As we all know, geometry is all stored in individual ipt files and it is where the mass is computed based on the geometry. In the Open dialog box, browse to the assembly file (.iam) to use as the base component. If you save the assembly again (without save dialog for multiple files), it will update the mass with no problem. 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 wrote a post about it which you can find here: Please coem back with any questions once you've examined the options! 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!? Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). 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 the option is set to No, the files will not be prompted to saved. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. 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. I'm Inventor has a similar feature. 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. 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. One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. 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. 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). Success! If you browse to the folder where you are saving the copy of your Assembly, you will see all the little parts being created. The subassemblies and components of them are older version files. 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. Repeat the same process in steps 2 & 3 on the other parts. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. A STEP file maintains the BREP geometry of the original. This sounds like a data management issue. The whole thing was rather painless, and a good enough workflow for my needs. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Creating an in-place part has the same result as inserting a previously created part file. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. The Assembly node is renamed to Assembly1. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. In Solidworks, there is an option to save an assembly as a part. Glad you joined us from lurking in the shadows. For example, an assembly with five parts creates a part with five solid bodies. Place multiple parts into assembly. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. To begin, create a part file. Begin selecting parts or components in the canvas. 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. You can now save and close your template file. Check you have setting properly set "Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies)" Create the new empty assembly and save it. You can override any value. Represents the selected component in the derived part as a bounding box and creates a body from the bounding box shape. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Now it works just fine. I'm starting with a STEP file (from a vendor). If needed edit the sketch and add dimensions in each part. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. It is the equivalent to a custom part in a parts list. 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. For part instances the instance number is iterated which yields "Part1:1", "Part1:2", and so on. Then I simply promoted the components I needed. In case any of this information is needed, I use: Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. Additionally, some of the parts I need to do this with are design accelerator parts. Then, I have to fix all the references. 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. Enter a meaningful name for the new 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. Disabled components remain included, however. only found the ipn files. At the component instance level, you can override the structure to be Reference. 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. If the base part is a multi-body part with more than one body visible, no bodies are displayed in the graphics screen. Can anybody explain why this happens or it is a bug? Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. Click the Options tab to select Simplification if required. I have lurked around for quite a bit on the forums, and have learned so much already just from observing. Is this possible? The Simplify command is not accessible when the model is in Express mode. 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. If desired, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. If you prefer, you can make the constraint adaptive by setting an option on the Assembly tab of the Application Options dialog box. This in Inventor world is called "Demoting". 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. Go to Solution. 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. Use the From To or To extents options for Extruded features. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. 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. Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? 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. 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:. Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. 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 Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. The .Save2 will save without a confirmation prompt, unlike .Save. If the component does not intersect the derived part, the result is no solid. Try it and see if you get the same results. Is there a way I can override that so the parts wont be updated? Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. If required, select the check box to keep seams between planar faces. I hope this helps.Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,Curtishttp://inventortrenches.blogspot.com, Forum links:Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum|Inventor Ideas Forum |General Inventor Forum. "If you find my answer solved your question, please select the Accept Solution icon", John HackneyRetiredBeyond the Drafting Board. When I use the Shrinkwrap feature, it turns everything into surfaces. The option is not available with the Master design view. This is not correct. 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. The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. 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. I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. 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. An active selector has a blue highlight at the bottom of the control. Try it for yourself-- I just did. Standard parts and iParts about your issue and find the best support option save these pieces a. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. As a side note, the derive functionality is also used for mirrored parts, substitute Level of Detail parts and simplified parts. Select the options to bring it in as Solids and as a multi-body part or a composite, as needed. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. 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. 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. 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. : step, igs, parasolids, etc.) Thanks in advance. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. 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. If you just Save As to STL format, what do you get? A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. This means a Dirty File in Vault. Because this mechanism is written in more than only one "Object" before it is displayed as "Mass" this is not always saved correctly within the assembly. How take an Autodesk Inventor assembly and simply it to a single part file to one solid body to simplify the modeling. Also, any assembly consuming the part will have N/A. For a Vault environment this is called a Dirty Maker and is frustrating enough to update everytime. SolidWork Newbie since 2001-Currently using SW2017 Inventor Newbie since 2019 More is the case that also if the file is not updated and already released, it will write the mass to calculate. For example, a setting of zero visibility means that components that are completely hidden in any view will be removed. Save Assembly as Part File - YouTube 0:00 / 4:59 Save Assembly as Part File 5,079 views Apr 24, 2019 How and why you would save an assembly as a part file in Solidworks. .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. Sketches that are not shared or consumed by features are included in the base component. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. 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. i have the same issue, but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated. Click the Other tab to select sketches, work geometry, and parameters. If it's another solid modeling software (SW, for instance), then STEP. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. 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. Unfortunately, we cannot have both. Privacy | Do not sell or share my personal information | Cookie preferences | Report noncompliance | Terms of use| 2023 Autodesk Inc. All rights reserved. If you must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Solved by SEC_CAD. I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Create a new part, then use the 3D Model, Create, Derive command to create one solid body including all the components you want. If one of the iMate participants is a bounding box, it is a new body and the face is no longer available. At assembly level, the mass is aggregated from the parts (per quantity per Reference). 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. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Do not sell or share my personal information. Intersects the selected component with the derived 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 some settings could be changed only by admin, that would be great in Inventor! Position. 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. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. At least one component must have an Include status. file you have exported from AutoCAD. 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! Selects component for inclusion in the derived part. What I did was save this assembly a new one, and then delete everything I didn't need. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Save -> "Mass Prop Update", "Implicit Update", or "Recomputable Update" -> set it to Yes. When accessed from the BIM Content environment, theOutput Type is locked to Substitute. Regards, Igor. All other situations are more or less not that critical. Solved by jmdnq9. If required, check the Use color override from source component check box to link the color from the base component into the target part. Go to the assembly and save it. What You Will Do: Prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests Produce drawings of Plan Views, exploded Assemblies, Assemblies, and Components. What exactly do you mean by "a solid body where I can't change anything?" Creates a derived part as a single surface composite which retains the appearance of the original components. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. After you select the components, click Accept Selection. Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. 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. 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. - Autodesk Community - Inventor Inventor Forum Welcome to Autodesk's Inventor Forums. Hey, yes and no. 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. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. Only iMates for top-level assemblies may be derived. I can't find the command. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. This is the default option. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. However, there is another option which may obscure the request. 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 Solidworks this is done by File, Save As, then change the extension to a part file. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies and select or clear Save new components to external files. Select features, bodies, surfaces, visible 2D and 3D sketches, work features, parameters, and iMates to include or exclude from the derived 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. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. If you want to edit with Inventor, then use a simplified assembly (=.ipt) file with the link to assembly broken. Ask the community or share your knowledge. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. Thanks again everyone, you really helped. The source is called the base component. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016 You could use the copy tool in the assembly environment. Start a new part file, then go to the Manage tab and click the Import button. Model State. AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. Click the down arrow to select an origin work plane as the mirror plane. See step 7 below. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. 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? Perhaps you can just save the original assembly as a new assembly and simply remove the unwanted parts. Creates a single solid body derived part with no seams between planar faces.
