After I place a part in an assembly and add constraints it gets flipped upside-down. I use the XZ plane, the YZ plane, and two part surfaces as the mating constraints. I've created the constraints in various order with the same result. Can someone suggest what I am doing wrong?

ScottyUK, thank you for the Lantronix reference. I have made an inquiry with them as it looks like they offer products we need.

MacGyver, I would like to find a product that has the wire connection with the control components packaged so that all we have to do is add a microcontroller and a 485 transceiver.

Before I meet with my design consultant about adding ethernet to our temperature control I'd like to do a little research myself. We manufacture a temperature control that has a 485 bus. I am hoping to design a tiny proprietary ethernet interface that will connect to our 485. Can you...

Once again, you called it. Thanks.

OK. That worked. I'll need to practice more... Thank you. But, more questions. Now, as I sweep the profile, it leaves the corners cut out save a wall thickness - the new version is attached. I've tried multiple ways to draw this and one was using extrusions to make the return flange with...

Thank you for your response and compliments. I reordered the sketches as you advise but still struggling with constraining the profile like I want. Can you recommend a strategy for constraining the endpoint in Sketch1 to the midpoint in Sketch2? I have not been able to make coincident point...

Inventor 2010 part file attached. Sketch1 is a profile intended to sweep along the path of Sketch2. Sketch2 is sized as the outermost edge of the sweep so I want to locate the profile corner at the bottom midpoint of the path. I cannot get coincident point constraint to work nor can I project...

Thank you for responding. You are exactly right about the radius. I had added radii to my path sketch which had a small overhang. Not sure what I did to cause it because it is a simple shape. I am a new user trying to decide if Inventor Suite 2010 is the right purchase.

Trying to use the sweep command and cannot figure out the error (below). I've created a rectangular path with radius corners. Perpendicular to it is the L-shaped profile. Create sweep feature failed Housing.ipt: Errors occurred during update Sweep1: Could not build this Sweep...

Thank you. I've been retraining my brain to think like a "parametric modeler". This has been my struggle but I am finding it easier. Appreciate your references and advice about training.

Struggling with simple things like drawing, trimming, moving. Bit of an old dog when it comes to AutoCAD but as I work through the tutorials I find I need very basic skills training. For example, I can easily do a full radius in AutoCAD 2D but I am having trouble doing it in Inventor's sketch...

Got it. Thank you.

Having trouble understanding the projected geometry feature. Working through a 2010 tutorial - End Cap Back - and get stuck at where I select the entities to "project". The instructions ask to "Slice Graphics" then to "project". Not having any luck with it and don't quite understand what is...
