I'm not sure if you will be returning but I did get curious about this myself and asked the autodesk forum.
There is some good information there but alas there doesn't seem to be a true solution.
Have a look...
I don't know if this is just something you prefer not to see or if it is troublesome when you are presenting the model to someone.
If it is the latter, a workaround would be tools>application options> colors>deselect "enable Prehighlight". This is not section specific and will get rid of...
I apologize for the generic response, and I am looking into this. I may not be able to respond fully until tomorrow but..
Can you tell us which version of inventor you are working with? For now the place I would start looking would Be Tools>Application Options> Display.
I have a pipe frame that I will be simulating using Autodesk Simulation CFD and it has multiple inlets and outlets.
These inlets and outlets go to panels (not shown) below. I would like to directly connect/jump these inlets and outlets to bypass these panels.
The created solid will be used as a...
Of course. The unfold and refold tools are the go-to options right now, but when dealing with conical shapes it generally turns into a trial and error process.
I did not hear about 2015 release yet, and if what you say is true, then that is fantastic news. I will check into it.
Thanks for the...
To me it sounds like the parts are over either over-constrained or that the parts have bad references. Usually you will get an error before it gets to this point, but i have seen similar situations.
It could very well be the computer itself too. I won't assume because I don't know what you're...
Occasionally I work with sheet metal parts, but not in the typical sheet metal fashion. The company I work for creates pipe panels and a lot of the time those panels get cover plates(3/8" thick) welded to the back of them, which almost always guarantees that the plates are either rolled, or...
Hi all,
I'm relatively newer to inventor as far as experience goes. When I am creating multiple parts and I bring them into assemblies, I wind up with a lot of my sketches and work planes visible. Some times I am working with very large assemblies and it is very time consuming to hide each...
Hi guys,
I have an assembly. We'll call it a gate, made up of a base and lid.(hinged)
To display the COG in the drawing I've noticed you can right click the top level assembly (gate) in the browser and there is an option called "center of gravity"
But, If I were to expand into the gate and...
Thanks for the solve on #3. I was also going to look for this problem, because the steering wheel only gets in the way, as it is useless for my application.
As for #4: I found this under the inspect tab > Evaluate Menu > Center column > last option.
Any other solutions would be helpful. I am...
nchristo,
Assuming you're using a newer version of SE (I'm on ST4) and if I understand what you're looking for, then here is what you have to do:
- First make sure you have your title block saved as a template file in the "program > SolidEdge > Template" folder.
- From there hit the...
Hey,
I'm creating a 3D model, then a draft file. From that draft file I export the .DWG and .PDF formats for customer viewing purposes. Well.. the last sheet in almost all of our drawing sets needs to be in color. I have tried enabling the part colors and also hatching the part in the draft...

Is there a way to create a sketch on a planar face (ex. a rectangle) and convert it to a "block" or save it into a block library for later use? instead of using move copy and such. I know in solid edge 2D this is made available, but is there such a thing when...
Thanks for the reply. I have no problems opening a part file or assembly file and displaying the center of mass. The problem is that when in an assembly file, then going to material properties and "checking" display center of mass, it displays the center of mass calculated from the sum of all...
I have briefly searched past threads. What I've found are mostly threads asking how to display center of mass in a draft environment. I'm looking to display it in an assembly environment. I have 2 parts in an assembly file. I only want to show the center of mass of one individual part, not the...
Is there a way to show the center of mass of a single component in the assembly environment? The center of mass may influence how I locate this part.
Thanks
ST2
Thanks Kenat,
Snapping to common views has always been my workaround. As of recently I've been paying more attention to the Promptbar and I've noticed that even when creating just a sketch you're also given the "F," "N," and "B" commands to work with. It doesn't seem to do so with reference...
When creating a parallel plane from a surface you can choose which orientation you want by pressing the "F" key before creating the plane.
When creating a sketch on the surface you are re-oriented to the front view of the plane.
Is there a way to flip the plane after it has been created? Is...
