    VBA - Create a 3D pipe along any polyline

    Hi, Maybe we can solve this together.. The idea is to make two circles to extrude along any polyline given. I'm extruding one circle at a time. But at the moment I'm stuck while trying to get the coordinates from my polyline. I get a type '13' mismatch on "polycoords". What am I missing? Here...

    Copy Part reference into a new drawing - Without ruining the pos. order

    Ok, this have bugged me for awhile. When I copy the Part references from one drawing to another the pos. numbers always get scrambled up in the Part list. Is there any way to copy them and still keep the original pos. numbering? Thanks in advance! "If you're not part of the solution, you're...

    Cross-section classes. When do buckling occur?

    Hi, Let's ask the expertise. In EC they divide cross-sections in classes from 1-4. I guess the classes is similiar in other standards? My question is, how do you determine the critical stress in which buckling will occur for classes 2-4 on a specific cross-section?

    Rotate geometry in sketch mode using reference line

    Hi, In Autocad there is a command to rotate a geometry in sketch mode using a reference line instead of an angle. I can't seem to find this command in Inventor 2013. Does somebody know where to find it or have another simple way of doing it?

    Bug, slow computer or just wrong settings?

    Hi, My colleague has got a problem when trying to constrain in assembly mode. I'll try to explain the problem with an example: He's trying to "mate" one part to another, but after pressing the OK button in the "place constrain" window he gets error triangles on all previous performed...
