The Simplify command is not accessible when the model is in Express mode. ____________________________________________________________. You can now save and close your template file. (The iMate may be used, but not edited.). Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. Hi i did that it didnt work. Will this have any affect on saving as a new subassembly? I tried using pack and go on an assembly. Do not sell or share my personal information. Glad you were able to find resolution to your issue. For part instances the instance number is iterated which yields "Part1:1", "Part1:2", and so on. What I have is one major assembly, consisting of a collection of parts as well as some subassemblies. Then, I have to fix all the references. If you want to edit with Inventor, then use a simplified assembly (=.ipt) file with the link to assembly broken. Success! I'm possibly having a basic misunderstanding of how to correctly save an Inventor file with the API. Furthermore since you have highlighted it: For (at least a Vault Environment) some application options should have been fixed and only to be changeable by an administrator. Sam BInventor Pro 2019.0.0 | Windows 7 SP1LinkedIn, saves it as an .STL file. 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. I'm assuming you're doing this in VBA. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. The iProperties command is available for in-place editing of an assembly as well as in-place editing of a part. The elements under the Solid Bodies or Surface Bodies folders. If desired, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. In Inventor, go to the MANAGE TAB - iLogic Panel and click iTrigger. Extend Simplification Panel and choose Create simplified Part. So in affect the only changes that are saved are to subassembly_C and the top level assembly. Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. In Solidworks, when I open it, all the parts are solids, when I save it as a part, it remains a solid? From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. Selects element for inclusion in the derived part. Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). 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. You can select more then one posting as the solution. When you click Create and select a plane on which to sketch, the part environment is activated. Can't find what you're looking for?

This is not correct. To begin, create a part file. Go to Solution. It might help to set the subassembly_A and subassembly_B files to read-only before starting this process, just to be safe. 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. In the Open dialog box, browse to the assembly file (.iam) to use as the base component. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. Glad you joined us from lurking in the shadows. On the Bodies tab, accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected components quickly. Can't find what you're looking for? Changes in a model state affect the envelope size. 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. For each of the listed feature types specify which you want to remove and the way you want to remove them: Substitutes are model states based on a simplified model. Click the down arrow to select an origin work plane as the mirror plane. Report 0 Likes Reply 6 REPLIES Message 2 of 7 jhackney1972 Click Options to specify the representations to use in the derived component and then click OK to close the File Open Options dialog box. 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. Hey, yeah and MLT file have some more edit possibilities to edit but stil not perfect, any suggestions what kind of file best to be using if you dont beed any connectivity to assembly and at the same time very good to edit? If all you want is a dumb solid (not editable one after the translation), >a dumb solid (not editable one after the translation), You are such a great educator JD, it is unbelievable! Solved by Curtis_Waguespack. 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. You can also use it as a way to link parameters, sketches, or scale geometry from part or assembly files. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. You can save the assembly as a part, and then it's much easy to deal with in your assembly. Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum. At assembly level, the mass is aggregated from the parts (per quantity per Reference). A simple save as part would be great for what's needed! The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Try it for yourself-- I just did. Begin selecting parts or components in the canvas. It does not update the mass of the top assembly in case there is a save dialog for multiple documents. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. There is only one BOM per assembly. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Is that an only Inventor Pro function? This sounds like a data management issue. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. What exactly do you mean by "a solid body where I can't change anything?" I did try that break link command and that works great. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. 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 any are needed I will try to demostrate what I need in a smaller demonstration file. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from 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. Changes in design views do not affect envelope size. In the Derived Part dialog box, model elements are displayed in a hierarchy. The .Save2 will save without a confirmation prompt, unlike .Save. Try it and see if you get the same results. 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 the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. Recommendation: Position and mate at least one of the components before you begin, then select that component first. Legacy shrinkwrapped parts use the Simplify property panel when edited. Remove parts by selection (default). When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. With the geometry projected finish the sketch and extrude the feature in the part. If you save twice, it works. If unchecked, the appearance is set to default appearance of the target part. If you just Save As to STL format, what do you get? Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). The active model state contains the components that define the envelope size. Position. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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. I'm not just dealing with two subassemblies. To translate this article, select a language. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. If the option is set to No, the files will not be prompted to saved. What You Will Do: Prepare production drawing documents based on sales or production requests Produce drawings of Plan Views, exploded Assemblies, Assemblies, and Components. Now it works just fine. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. 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. Select or hover over "File" then select "Save As." Add Tip Ask Question Download Step 20: Save Assembly The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Subtracts component from the derived part. When accessed from the BIM Content environment, theOutput Type is locked to Substitute. The Assembly node is renamed to Assembly1. One more thing is that the mass is also written even if the file is read-only, and that is not correct if you use a release process. If desired, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Dependent components of a suppressed component are not listed.). Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. Adaptive (controlled by relationships to other assembly components). 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. If you're starting with a STEP file then you should be able importit as a part file rather than an assembly. Solved by SEC_CAD. 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. @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior. Select the options to bring it in as Solids and as a multi-body part or a composite, as needed. Select features, bodies, surfaces, visible 2D and 3D sketches, work features, parameters, and iMates to include or exclude from the derived part. whole assembly will be saved as a single part. 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. 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 STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Save -> "Mass Prop Update", "Implicit Update", or "Recomputable Update" -> set it to Yes. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. Can't find what you're looking for? This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. For example, a setting of zero visibility means that components that are completely hidden in any view will be removed. From the Assembly tab. Navigate to the SAT. #Autodesk Inventor Quick Tip: Simplify assembly to a single part Start a new part file, then go to the Manage tab and click the Import button. Selects component for inclusion in the derived part. You can remove geometry by visibility and size to simplify the part. All other situations are more or less not that critical. To translate this article, select a language. After you select the components, click Accept Selection. Going back to the original Derived Component idea, you can Suppress Link or even Break Link with the original. 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. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. If you must relocate the part later, you can delete the constraint. I could be wrong but I don't think this is a bug. This is one of the thing between the theory and the practice. only found the ipn files. For more information see To Work with Presets. Solved by jmdnq9. 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. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. At least one component must have an Include status. 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. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. save assembly and all parts ? The only thing I expect is that if files are saved and checked into Vault, with the application options on: That the mass is calculated and filled in correctly. 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. 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. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. This in Inventor world is called "Demoting". Because both of the files are dirtied, save dialog will pop up, save them both. If you selected them on the File Open Options dialogs, you can change them here. Unfortunately, we cannot have both. Any CAD program can be used to edit a solid body. If it's another solid modeling software (SW, for instance), then STEP. Go to the assembly and save it. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. It is the equivalent to a custom part in a parts list. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. If required, check the Use color override from source component check box to link the color from the base component into the target part. All the components must be at the same level within a single parent assembly. I wish I could mark all of your posts as solutions because I essentially used elements of each to get my new file. In Solidworks, there is an option to save an assembly as a part. Go to Solution. Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? 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. Excludes element in the derived part. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. When I use the Shrinkwrap feature, it turns everything into surfaces. 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. For here internal we have written an add in that will the normal user not allow to change some application options and we have given only the Admin the rights for this. 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). Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. You can do it in two clicks with Simplify. Use the Pack and Go functionality for this within inventor! Although there is no CAD model in our template, a step file should have been created. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. There isn't anything lost. You can even give multiple Kudos. Activate one of the components/part file in the assembly where the feature appears Create a sketch on the active part file. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. Granted, the OP was, > It would be a lot more useful (for me, at least). Now all that is left to do is save it, which you already know how to do but just in case. The selected and all child browser nodes. 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. Disable "Update physical properties on save". ). The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. I need to dig deep again to find the reason again since it was already addressed in 2011 with the release of Inventor 2012. To translate this article, select a language. 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. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Let me walk through the process of updating mass prop. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. I learn new things pretty much every day. I can loop through all the referenced documents and save them to the same directory as the .iam file, but when I save the actual .iam it still saves a copy of everything to the Documents/Inventor. Solved by JDMather. 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. In the browser, the top-level assembly is unavailable, and the new part is active. Creates a single solid body derived part with no seams between planar faces. In the assembly environment you can use the Bill of Materials command (see Figure 1) located in the Manage panel of the Assemble tab. Here's my question. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. Auto-detect locates and highlights the components.

This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. 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. Represents the selected component in the derived part as a bounding box and creates a body from the bounding box shape. Hello all. And, the assemblies will need to be recomputed. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. 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 see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. To my opinion it should either work in Inventor and In an environment with Vault to. 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. I've only been using Inventor for a few months but have rapidly grown to like it. Is it possible to convert an assembly into a parts file? The mass need to be recomputed. Ask the community or share your knowledge. Follow the dialog window to set various options depending on your downstream needs. 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. I forgot to mention a couple things which was rather stupid, because they are important details. : step, igs, parasolids, etc.) Use command manageriLogic command to update mass (synchronous - important, otherwise it does not work!). Go to Solution. Changes in position view can affect the envelope size. Save assembly (and all parts involved) to specific location using API. How can I save the assembly to a folder, and have it save all it's referenced parts/assemblies to that folder as well in a way where I don't have to go back and fix the references? Then you can promote the components from the copies of A and B, then demote them into a new subassembly C. This will remove the components from the copied subassemblies, but since they are only copies, you still have your originals intact and all is well.

Thanks in advance. A STEP file maintains the BREP geometry of the original. If needed edit the sketch and add dimensions in each part. The same method can be used for creating your own presets. You can choose to create a virtual component. 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. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. 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. Create a Simplified Part from an Assembly The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. If the base part contains a single body, creates a single body part. 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. But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Usually, you set this option once as a workflow preference. You can override any value. 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! Either you save or you don't. The new part can change size when constrained to fixed geometry in the assembly. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. Dec 5, 2012 #4 Karol Member If you want to create a multi-body part file, create one or more features or bodies. i have the same issue, but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. See step 7 below. (I already tried all 'Save As', 'Save Copy As', Export', etc options). Besides. 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.
