Hi imcjoek, I had already tried that, but it doesn't give me the second phantom line, so the indicator just snaps to the start of the radius, not the intersection. In the end, I had to create a sketch in the corner to give me a intersection, not ideal thou. Thanks all the same

Hi I am creating a hole table, my datum corner has a radius, how do I select the intersection of horiz/vert lines to show the origin indicator? Many thanks in advance

Got it..todays date in column chooser, its easy when you know how ;)

Hi mcgyvr cheers for that but....when I changed to todays in iproperties date, it also changed the drawing creation date which I want to remain unchanged. What am I doing wrong??

Hi there, just a niggle/irritation..If I modify a drawing and add a revision, why does the revision date automatically load the CREATION DATE in the box? It would make more sense to put the date of modification in the box. I know I can go in and manually edit the date.....but as I said an...

Hi there, ok I created a frame generated weldment made from 40 x 40 x 5 angle, placed this in my main assembly, then mirrored it...fine. I have now decided to change the original frame and use 40 x 40 x 3 angle, which is good, but the mirrored version does not update to represent the change, and...

Hi, I am new to this feature and admit am struggling. I have a sheet metal panel 1.2mm thick about 700mm x 180mm and I am trying to put a row of 170mm long creases into one face, so I thought I would try the punch tool, 5 hrs later I am no near cracking this part of inventor, have been on the...

I know we cannot make weldments flexible, but why not...ok so I'm making two box section panels with welded corners, and they are joined via piano hinge which is plug welded to frames, now I want to drop this weldment into my GA but cannot make flexible and therefore cannot open or shut these...

Hi rollupswx, I don't have a book on dynamic simulation, last tutorial I read was by Travis Jones / Daniel T Banach Autodesk Inventor Essentials 2010. Do you know of one in particular? Cheers

Hi rollupswx, yes got Inventor 2014 suite with dynamic simulation

Hello, has anyone in the forum got any experience with driving constraints/animating. I want to animate a flighted conveyor continually running, then, place an item on the conveyor and show the item being conveyed down the line. its important to show the flights continually moving around though...

Rollupswx, done that thanks, do these ideas just get locked in a dark room and get forgotten about though?

Hi rollupswx, yea can do that, but will lose the auto dim i.e will have to manually dimention which can be dangerous if some one changes the length of the shaft. Needs adding to the Inventor wish list

Hello there, does anyone know how to create an 'S' shaped broken view of a shaft rather than the rectangular or structural? Thanks in advance
