You should see that the Update button is active, indicating the model needs to be updated. You can click the Update button to see the model width change to mm. In the next section, you'll edit a rule to make the model automatically update when the rule is run. You can right-click the rule and choose Run Rule in order to test it and change the width value again. When you have finished, you can close the file without saving changes.
In this exercise, you'll pick up where you left off and edit the Size Input rule you created in the previous exercise:. Place your cursor at the end of the existing function and press the Enter key on the keyboard a couple of times to provide some space in the rule. In the Function Category list on the left , locate the Document node and expand it by clicking the plus sign.
Locate the UpdateWhenDone item toward the middle of the list and double-click it. This will place the UpdateWhenDone function into your rule so that it looks like this:.
Enter in the input box and click the OK button. Your part width should automatically change to mm. Currently, your rule is coded to set the default entry of the input box to mm. If you built this plate with a standard size of mm for the width most of the time, then hard-coding that value might be the way to go. But often, it's more useful to retrieve the current parameter value and have it display in the input so the user knows the value before changing it.
Replace the mm with Width. You can do this by typing over the value or by selecting it and then clicking Extrusion1 in the Model tab along the top. In either case, your function should look like this:. Click the OK button to test the rule and notice that the current width value of the model is listed in the input box. Replace this with and click the OK button. To finish this rule, you will add another function to change the length of the part.
Follow the steps you used to create the width function so that your rule reads as follows and then test the part to see how it works:. You can right-click the rule and choose Run Rule in order to test it and see how it functions. In the previous exercises, you used an input box to change parameter values so that you could adjust the dimensions of the plate part.
In this exercise, you'll create a multi-value parameter and then create a rule to get the user to select from the list. Follow these steps:. In the Value List Editor dialog box, enter the following values into the top pane and then click Add. If mm is listed in the bottom pane, select it and click Delete to remove it.
From the iLogic browser, ensure that the Rules tab is selected; then right-click anywhere in the Rules tab, and choose Add Rule. Locate the InputListBox item toward the bottom of the list and double-click it. This will place the generic InputListBox function into your rule, thereby providing the template syntax you need to follow. This function should look similar to this:. Select d0 in the Rule Authoring pane and then double-click Length in the Parameters subtab.
This will replace d0 with the word Length no quotation marks. Quotation marks indicate a text string. When you want the function to see your entry as a text string, use quotation marks. When you want the function to read a parameter either from the model or from the rule , don't use quotation marks. Replace d0 in MultiValue. Replace the next instance of d0 with no quotation marks.
In this case, you want the input box to have a hard-coded default of To make your code more readable in the editor, add an underscore after the comma following MultiValue. The underscore must have a space in front of it. This acts as a carriage return within the code, allowing the line to fit on-screen without upsetting the syntax. To finish this rule, you will edit the Width parameter and make it a multi-value parameter with the same values you used for the length.
Then, edit the rule and add another input list box function to change the width of the part. Follow the steps you used to create the length function. Then, add the function to make the part update when the rule is finished running recall that you'll find this in the Document function category list so that your rule reads as follows:. Finally, test the part to see how it works. In the next exercises, you'll work with both of the rules you created in the previous exercises and then create a third rule to choose which of the other two to run.
Follow these steps to work with multiple rules in the same file:. You'll notice that the Size List Input rule is run automatically when you click the OK button, presenting you with the Length Selector list input box. The issue here is caused by both rules handling the same parameters. Currently, any change to those parameters causes the rules to run automatically. Although this might be the desired result in some cases, in this instance it is causing a problem. To resolve this, you will edit both rules and change their options.
Along the top, select the Options tab and select the Don't Run Automatically option, as shown in Figure As a test to see that the issue is resolved, you can run the rules and change the width and length values to ensure that neither rule runs when the other makes a change.
Once you've tested this, you can close the file without saving and continue. Handling Errors. Often, your rules will work fine when you test them because you enter expected results. But you can rest assured that as soon as you have other people test your rules, they'll encounter errors when they provide invalid input, for example. Depending on the complexity of your code, you can often add a simple error handler to manage null inputs and other issues created when the user doesn't provide predictable or desired input.
You can use a simple On Error Resume Next line to skip or ignore an error. Although this is not considered a good practice for programming, it will often suffice for simple errors. If you click the Cancel button in the input box, you'll receive an error because the rule returns an empty string value.
Rule2 includes an On Error Goto ErrorHandler line that instructs Inventor to skip to the ErrorHandler line and display a message if an error is encountered. You can run Rule2 and click the Cancel button in the input box to see how this works. Rule3 checks for the specific problem of an empty text string and provides the user with a message. Rule4 does the same but just uses the existing value rather than the null input. You can search online for VB error checking to find many more error-checking strategies.
Next, your goal is to create a new rule to choose between two existing rules. From the lower-left corner, select the user parameter drop-down list it shows Add Numeric by default. From the iLogic browser, locate the Size Input rule on the Rules tab, click it once to select it, and then slowly click it again to set the name active for renaming.
In the iLogic browser, right-click anywhere in the Rules tab, and choose Add Rule note that you can also click anywhere in the blank space of the iLogic browser with the Rules tab active to add a rule. Locate the InputRadioBox item toward the bottom of the list and double-click it. This will place the generic InputRadioBox function into your rule, thereby providing the template syntax you need to follow. Make sure the Model tab along the top is set active and then expand the model node if needed and select User Parameters.
All of the user parameters for this part file are now listed in the Parameters subtab on the right. In this case, there is just the one you created. Replace booleanParam with True no quotation marks. This sets the default to be true, which will be the first button, or the standard size option. The underscore must have space in front of it. Currently, this rule doesn't do anything other than display an input box to let you choose between two buttons.
To make those buttons do something meaningful, you will add a conditional statement to run one of the other existing rules. From the toolbar along the top of the Rule Authoring pane, select the If…Then…End If button to place the syntax snippet in your rule. In the Function Category list on the left , locate the Run Other node and expand it by clicking the plus sign.
Locate the RunRule item in the list. This will place the iLogicVb. You can test this rule and notice that you can now choose between the two input types, Custom and Standard. If you choose Custom, you can add anything, and you can choose from only the approved standards for the standard inputs. But what if you enter a value such as for the length? You'll notice that the hole spacing becomes quite large. It would be nice to have a rule to add holes for large custom lengths and widths.
In the next exercise, you'll investigate how to do just that. Oftentimes, it is helpful to add a message box to return a value to you so you can see what the code is returning. This is particularly helpful when your code is throwing an error. In this next exercise, two hole features have been added to the part for you. The goal is to create a rule to suppress a hole feature if the spacing is under a specified distance and activate it if the spacing exceeds the specified distance.
You'll explore a couple of other tips and tricks along the way. These reference parameters were created in Sketch3, which controls the locations of Hole2 and Hole3.
Recall that a reference parameter is created by adding a driven dimension to a sketch. Then, those parameters were renamed. On the Rules tab of the iLogic browser, click and drag the rule named Size Type Input to the top of the list. Since this is the rule that is utilized to choose between the others, it might be best to place it at the top. From the toolbar along the top of the Rule Authoring pane, select the Operators drop-down and notice that it contains a list of all the logic operators.
Select Hole2 from the feature tree in the Model tab area and then right-click it and choose Capture Current State. You can use the Capture Current State option on any Inventor feature or parameter.
You can just delete the unneeded information and keep what is pertinent. Delete all the extra information and keep only the Feature. IsActive line. IsActive can be used to suppress or not suppress any Inventor feature that can be suppressed.
Copy that line below the Else and change True to False so the result reads as follows:. Because the current hole spacing is less than 45 for both of the reference parameters, the hole is suppressed. Of course, you can just type the line in as you are reading it, but for the sake of practice, use the Function Category list to find the RunRule function and double-click it to enter it. The underscore preceded by a space provides a carriage return without disrupting the code.
This makes it easier to read in the Edit Rule dialog box. When you test the rule, you'll see that that the second line contains a parenthetical statement advising the user of the maximum width. Because your rules are changing the size of your part, it would be nice to add a bit of code to adjust the zoom level to match the size of the new part. To do so, you can call an application programming interface API object to make this happen with this line:.
To make that line be seen as a comment and not a line of code, simply add an apostrophe to the beginning. The result should be as follows:. Any text preceded by an apostrophe is read by iLogic as a comment and not interpreted as code. Use this to your advantage by adding notes and documentation to your iLogic code to make editing it in the future easier.
You can also use the Comment and Uncomment buttons found on the toolbar above the top of the Rule Authoring pane to comment out entire blocks of code and then uncomment them later. If you anticipate using a particular snippet a lot, you might want to save it to the Custom Snippets tab. To see how this is done, you'll save the Zoom All snippet.
Highlight both the comment line and the code line and then right-click and choose Capture Snippet. Click the Save Custom Snippets button on the toolbar of the Custom Snippets tab and choose a name and location for your custom snippet file. You're likely beginning to see the power of iLogic and the use of simple rules to create configurations of your model templates.
Feel free to experiment with this file to tweak the code as you like, or you can close the file without saving changes and move on to the next section. You'll find the use of operators to be a common method of building logic in your iLogic rules. An operator performs a function on one or more objects. Table Performs a conjunction on two expressions, but evaluates the second if and only if the first is true. Performs a disjunction on two expressions, but evaluates the second if and only if the first is true.
In this next exercise, you'll explore the use of iProperties in iLogic rules and then create a basic iLogic form to manipulate them. The objective here is to create a rule to do the following:.
Make it a multi-value parameter also and add the following values make sure your spelling and capitalization match exactly :. Close the Parameter dialog and open the iLogic browser. Add a rule named Material and Color Input. Clear param from between the parentheses and then select User Parameter from the model tree list at the top. Your rule should read as follows so far:. From the iProperties node in the Function Category list on the left, select Material and double-click it to add it to your rule.
Add an equal sign to the end of the line and then ensure that User Parameter is still selected in the model tree list at the top. Next, you'll build an iLogic form to allow you to easily select a material and a color from a list. In the iLogic browser, switch to the Forms tab and then right-click in the browser space and choose Add Form.
The Form Editor opens and shows the form building tools, as illustrated in Figure Tabs Area B Allows you to drag and drop items from the list to the Form Design pane to add controls for your custom interface. Form Design Pane C Allows you to design a custom interface by doing the following:. In the Form Design pane see area C in Figure Change this to read Material and Color Form. Then, click and drag it up to the top-right pane and drop it under the form name.
Add it above the material control by dragging either item to reorder them. Play around with the controls, adjusting the material and color to your liking. Recall that setting a color overrides the material color, and therefore, you'll need to set the color to As Material to see the change of material have any effect on-screen.
When you've finished, you can close this file without saving changes and continue to the next section. You can set various options for the form such as the font and color by selecting the node for the form itself in the Form Design pane and then using the Properties area options. The Visual Style property provides a list of color schemes for the form. By default, the form includes a Done button, but you can select from the Predefined Buttons list.
If you're using the default Done button, changes are applied automatically. In the next exercise, you'll build an iLogic Form for use in configuring a small plate part. This part is a cast part that needs to be machined to include several features.
The specifications of those features vary depending on the application, so it would be ideal to set up a template part with an iLogic form to allow quick and consistent configuration of the plate as needed.
Click the Manage tab and select the iLogic Browser button from the iLogic panel to make sure your iLogic browser is displayed. On the Rules tab, you'll see three existing rules.
Each rule checks a reference parameter found in Sketch6 used to create the sweep feature called Gasket Groove. If a specified reference parameter falls below a set minimum, a warning message is displayed.
Set the Forms tab of the iLogic browser active and then right-click the iLogic browser and choose Add Form. Locate the Parameters tab on the left and click the plus sign to expand the list of parameters if it's not already expanded. Notice that the list of parameters includes model, reference, and user parameters.
Drop it under the form name in the tree and then change the label to Mount Diameter A. Select the Group control from the Toolbox and drag it into the tree and then drop it below Gasket Size D. Locate the Reference node in the list on the Parameters tab and click and drag the following parameters to the tree.
Then edit their labels to these values:. Drop the parameters right on the Minimum Dimension Values group so they will land in the group. If you miss, you can just drag and drop them into the group afterward. It's worth mentioning that the values of 2 mm and 2. The letters listed in parentheses correspond to a legend image to be embedded in the form in the next steps. Select the Picture node and then choose the Image property in the Properties pane at the bottom.
Select the cell that reads none and click the resulting button to browse and select an image to use. The image file will be placed in your form automatically. This image was created by taking a screen capture of an IDW file, detailing the plate, and then using a photo editor such as Microsoft Paint to crop it as needed.
Next, you will change the properties of the Center To Center Hole Space controls to limit the inputs to an approved range. Doing so ensures that the user doesn't specify a value that exceeds the size of the plate or would create a need for custom tooling or a special-order gasket. Click the Configure Plate button on the Forms tab of the iLogic browser to bring up the new form. It should look like Figure Set Mount Diameter to 20 mm and notice that a warning message is thrown.
Click the OK button in the warning and then set Mount Diameter back to 15 mm. You'll notice at 11 mm, the hole becomes a slot. This is because of the Conditional Suppress option on the Slot Cut feature. You can right-click Slot Cut in the browser and choose Properties to see how this is done. Set Mount Diameter back to 20 mm , and click the OK button in the warning box. Now set Allow Control Resizing to False to prevent the form from being accidentally resized in the future.
You can continue adjusting the inputs as you like to test the form. Be aware that if you choose a combination of values resulting in violations of all three minimum space rules, it can be a bit difficult to get the form back to usable values.
In the next exercise, you'll add a reset button and more functions to the form to make it a bit more robust. One of the things that makes iLogic so powerful is the ability to use functions from the Inventor API from within an iLogic rule. If you're not familiar with the API, you can find several resources to help you get started by searching the Web for Autodesk Inventor Developer Center. In the next exercise, you'll add a reset button to the form created in the previous exercise.
You'll also create a second tab on the form to set standard iProperties. Then, you'll add event triggers to bring the form up automatically when a new part is created from this template and another to prompt for iProperty values when the file is closed. To keep this rule from setting those parameter values automatically, you need to click the Options tab and select the Don't Run Automatically check box.
Once this is done, you can click the OK button to exit the Edit Rule dialog box. Click and drag the Reset Form rule into Form Design pane and drop it under the picture at the bottom of the list.
This automatically adds a button to run the reset rule, allowing you to quickly reset the form to the original values. Select the Tab Group control from the Toolbox and drag and drop it into the Form Design pane to create a new tab. Drag the tab to the top of the tree and then drag and drop the following items onto Size Entry. Set the iProperties tab on the left active and then drag the following iProperties into the Form Design pane so they reside in the Property Entry tab:.
Next, you'll create a rule to call the Configure Plate form and set it to automatically trigger when the file is initially created when this part file is used as a template or opened when an existing version of this part file is opened for modifications.
The Engineer's Handbook hidden away in the Power Transmission panel drop-down list; it's called Handbook contains the equations used in the calculations. You might want to review those equations before using the calculator.
All of the controls can be accessed by using the buttons at the top or by right-clicking and choosing them from the context menu in the browser pane area. The drop-down menu switches the browser between Loads view and Supports view. The controls, shown in Table Adds a torque load—a twisting force around the z-axis. Two equal and opposite torque loads are required. The Options dialog box, shown in Figure By default, the loads and supports dynamically update to maintain the same size as the view scale changes.
You can turn off the automatic update and set a static scale value. The Options dialog box is the same whether it is launched from the Loads control or Supports control. Each load or support can be edited in the browser by double-clicking or by clicking the browse … button. A Properties dialog box displays controls for specifying the location, size, and direction of the force.
The Calculation Properties group, as shown in Figure The Use Density check box adds gravity as a load. This is selected by default.
The Use Shear Displacement Ratio check box is used when calculating the twist angle caused by torsional loads. The value is determined by the profile shape. It is also called the form factor of shear. This check box is selected by default. The default setting for Number Of Beam Divisions is Increasing the number of divisions can result in improved accuracy for longer beams.
You should experiment with different values to see whether the number of divisions causes a significant change in the results. Mode Of Reduced Stress has two options for modeling the stress distribution. The Huber-Mises-Hencky HMH method is based on the maximum-energy-distortion criterion, and the Tresca-Guest method is based on the maximum-shearing-stress criterion. The HMH method is the default selection.
The Results pane on the right side of the Beam Calculation tab updates when you click the Calculate button. Warnings will appear in the lower pane if the calculation indicates that stresses are too high. For the conveyor example, the support will be welded to the frame at one end and unsupported at the other. The power roller weighs pounds, and the torque is 40 pound-feet.
The torque causes the power roller to twist between the supports. The edge of the flat is 1. This means the reaction force at that point is pounds. Both the weight and the reaction force are split between the two sides. Follow these steps to explore the results and calculation workflow:. Enter 10 inches for the distance and 75 pounds-force for the force. This is the maximum distance for the power roller.
Click the OK button to close the Radial Force dialog box. Enter Click the Calculate button and compare the reduced stress to the yield strength of the specified material. Note that the forces are displayed in the graphics window.
If you hover over a force arrow on the model, a tool tip displays the information. You can drag the force to a different position, or you can double-click the force to display the properties dialog box. On the Beam Graphs tab, the Graph Selection pane allows you to select the results you want to display. The selected graph displays in the bottom of the Graph area. At the top of the Graph area is a schematic of the beam, supports, and loads. You can drag the supports and loads to different positions to update them.
If you double-click a support or load, the properties dialog box displays so you can directly edit the data. The Calculate button is not available on the Beam Graphs tab, so you need to switch back to the Beam Calculation tab to update the results.
The Beam Graphs tab is primarily intended for reviewing results. Twenty-two graphs are available on the tab. This example is a pretty simple analysis. You should experiment with other loads torques and bending moments and support types and then view the results on the graphs. The Column Calculation tab checks for column buckling. In the Loads area, you enter the axial load and the safety factor and select a coefficient for the end loading conditions. When you click the … button, a dialog box appears with four end conditions.
If you have different end conditions, you should enter the proper coefficient from a reference book. You shouldn't need to enter any data in the Column area. The length, section area, and least moment of inertia are carried over from the Model tab. The reduced length value is calculated by multiplying the length by the end coefficient. For example, imagine that during transport, the frame shifts and the power roller supports slam into the trailer wall.
The power roller was removed during shipping, so the supports take all the force from the impact, estimated at 4, pounds evenly distributed across the four supports. Set the axial load to 1,pound force, and click Calculate to determine whether the supports will buckle.
When you click the Results button in the upper-right corner of the dialog box, an HTML page appears with all the data, calculation results, and graphs. You can save or print this file for your records.
The File Naming button, found next to the Results button in the upper-right corner of the dialog box, allows you to specify the calculation's filename. When you click the OK button to exit the Beam And Column Calculator dialog box, a subassembly file is created in the assembly file.
This subassembly file is just a container for the calculations, allowing you to access them again at any point. A browser node is created for the calculations. To edit the results, simply right-click the browser node and choose Edit Using Design Accelerator.
Frame Generator's frame member library is integrated with Content Center. The authoring and publishing process is similar to that used to create any custom Content Center files. Since Frame Generator requires specific modeling techniques, the authoring process will make some changes to the model and the parameters to ensure that all of the required parameters are included.
The authoring process for a frame member is similar to component authoring. The Structural Shape Authoring tool, located on the Part-Modeling panel bar, is used to prepare the part for publishing. The tool identifies the geometry used for placement, sets the parameters, and modifies the part so Frame Generator can use it.
This example uses a rubber bumper iPart file like might be attached to frames to guard against impact. In the iPart table there are parameters to control the dimensions and three sizes defined. If this were a true frame member profile, the engineering properties moments of inertia and so on might need to be calculated, and therefore that information would be set up as well. Since this isn't a load-bearing part, those properties aren't required.
To explore the authoring process, follow these steps:. From the Manage tab, locate the drop-down list on the Author panel and then click the Structural Shape button. When the authoring tool starts, everything is blank. Once a category is selected, the dialog box will update with the appropriate controls.
Because this is an unusual part, select the Other category, as shown in Figure Frame Generator looks in the Structural Shapes category only, so you have to select one of the standard categories or create a new one in the Content Center Editor. You can't add a category through the authoring tool, so you have to add the category to Content Center before authoring. Since there is only one extrusion in the part, the base feature is automatically selected.
The default base point is indicated at the center of the profile. For this part, the inside corner of the flanges is the natural insertion point. Click the drop-down list, choose Select Geometry, and then select that point in the model, as shown in Figure The Notch Profile option is used when you are authoring frame members and you want to include a predefined notch profile to be used with the Notch tool.
In this case, there is no notch profile. Set the Base Length row to use the Length parameter by clicking the Please Select cell in the table and then choosing Length from the list. The Parameter Mapping tab has one required field: Base Length. This is the parameter for the extrusion distance. Since this is an iPart, when you click in the field, the iPart properties are listed, as shown in Figure If this were a regular part, the Part Template Parameters dialog box would display a browser tree, as shown in Figure The rest of the parameters are optional.
They are mechanical properties of the profile necessary for calculating loads with the Beam And Column Calculator. Clicking either the Publish Now or OK button will update the part and close the dialog box. Publish Now will also launch Content Center publishing wizard.
Once the part is updated, a dialog box displays with information about the changes. A log file that lists the changes to the part, as shown in Figure You can close the file without saving changes or use this file to explore the publishing options. If you inspect the part after authoring, you will see that the browser and parameters have been updated.
Before you publish the member for your team to use, be sure to test it in every conceivable situation. Even a seemingly well-constructed frame member can cause issues after end treatments are applied. The publishing process uses the Publish Guide Wizard.
Since the part was authored, most of the publishing information has already been added to the file. If you aren't familiar with publishing to Content Center, review Chapter 7. If you leave this field blank, the category selection will be Unknown. Since the thumbnail is used as the orientation image in the dialog boxes, it is important to use the thumbnail that Frame Generator creates. By default, Frame Generator parts are set to calculate their base quantity from the length of the part.
This differs from standard parts that calculate their base quantity from the number of parts in the assembly. When parts are authored for use in Frame Generator, the Base Quantity setting is automatically set to the length. To get a part count in the parts list for your assemblies, you will want to configure them to read the item quantity rather than the base quantity.
You can use both columns if that fits your needs, or you can have the BOM display one quantity and the parts list display the other. Note that you can copy the expression in one cell of the BOM, multiselect the rest of the column, and then right-click and choose Paste to set the expression to all of the parts in the BOM. It is a good idea to let Frame Generator name the frame members for you and use the Part Number property rather than the part name to manage the parts.
Once you've set an expression as just described, you can sort the BOM by that column to group the like items, set one of the part numbers, multiselect the items, and choose Paste from the context menu to set them all the same.
If you want the items to be merged, leave the Part Number Merge Settings options selected. In the drawing environment, use a Parts List style similar to the default Material List style found in the standard templates. This parts list is already configured to group by stock number and material, as well as sum the values of each unique stock number type. Work with frame files.
Frame Generator puts all the members at the same level in the assembly. Master It You have a frame that is built up in sections that are welded together. How do you document the manufacturing process?
Insert frame members onto a skeleton model. Frame Generator builds a skeleton model for the frame from the selected lines and edges.
Master It Since Frame Generator builds its own skeleton model, you don't have to build a master model before you start creating the frame. What would you reference in your assembly to use as a frame skeleton? Add end treatments to frame members. Frame Generator does not support end treatments on merged members.
Master It Let's assume you are building a stairway and the handrail has curved sections. How would you approach the curved handrail so that its ends can be treated? Make changes to frames. Inventor provides detailed frame-member information. Master It You need to determine the size and wall thickness of the tubing and make it either thicker or larger. How do you do that? Author and publish structural profiles. Frame Generator uses structural shapes from Content Center.
Frame Generator has special parameters for frame members. Master It How do you add the profile dimensions and the length of your frame members to the Description field? Frame Generator Frame Generator consists of several tools to automate frame modeling.
Exploring the Frame Generator File Structure When you create the first members in a frame assembly, a dialog box prompts you for filenames. Exploring the Anatomy of a Frame Member Frame Generator initially creates frame members the same length as the selected geometry. Table It is equal to the reference dimension.
Inserting Frame Members The process for inserting frame members can be broken down into three basic steps. Changing the Orientation After you have selected the placement geometry, you can change the position and orientation of the member.
Insert Selection Methods When you use the default Insert Members On Edges option, you can select edges and lines for placement references. Batch Select Tools Frame Generator has several tools for selecting geometry. Creating a Basic Frame To create an elementary frame, you'll use a prepared file that has been set up for you. In this design, you'll add frame members to be embedded in a monument base to support a sign plate: 1.
On the Get Started tab, click the Open button. From the Design tab, click the Insert Frame button. Set the Standard drop-down box to use the standard of your choice. Set the Family drop-down box to use a square tube or square hollow section profile. Select the middle vertical sketch line on the back of the sign plate in the model.
Holding the Ctrl key, select the two end members to remove them from the selection. Holding the Ctrl key, click one of the frame members to remove it from the selection. Click the OK button. Your assembly should resemble Figure Where Are the Other Common Sizes? In the following steps you will explore the offset, rotation, and merge options, as well as the context menu selection options: 1.
Set the Family drop-down box to use a flat bar section profile. Set the Size drop-down box to use a 50 mm or 2-inch bar, using a thickness of your choice. Right-click in the graphics area and set the selection method to Chain Select. Set Horizontal Offset to mm. Set Rotation to 90 degrees. Click Apply to create the frame member. Right-click in the graphics area and set the selection method to Sketch Select. Click Apply to create the frame members.
Set the rotation to 90 degrees. Aligning Frame Members Frame Generator follows two rules to give a frame member its initial orientation. To better understand the use of reference geometry for alignment, follow these steps: 1. Click the OK button to create the member. Right-click it and choose Delete With Frame Generator.
Click the sketch line located in the base of the frame to use as the alignment selection. Adjust the rotation angle by 90 degrees. Click the OK button to create the frame member in the correct orientation.
Using the Change Tool You can use the Change tool to change the standard, family, size, material, color, and orientation of an existing frame member. To see the Change tool in action, follow these steps: 1. From the Design tab, click the Frame panel drop-down arrow. Select the Frame Member Info button from the list. From the Design tab, click the Change button. Here are just a few of the key topics covered:.
The book's detailed discussions are reinforced with step-by-step tutorials, and readers can compare their work to the downloadable before-and-after tutorial files. In addition, you'll find an hour of instructional videos with tips and techniques to help you master the software. Mastering Inventor is the ultimate resource for those who want to quickly become proficient with Autodesk's 3D manufacturing software and prepare for the Inventor certification exams.
