I am a certified SolidWorks professional and have used the program for years. I have never used Inventor before. What advice, and resources, can you share with me to make this transition as painless as possible?
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a DWG for this worm gear but the angled teeth are giving me a run for my money, I have all of the gear properties called out in the DWG notes but I want to be able to convey some of the important details thru dimensioning... Does anybody have some good tips / advice for doing this? when I try to take a section view it comes in really wacky and doesn't provide any clarity imo....
thanks in advance!
Thinking of secondary monitor. Got 4K benq 27".
What would you recommend? 27" I'll leave for having documents open, so 32 will be only for working area.
DEll is slightly brighter and more Hrz. And don't have speakers which I'll like to have.
Any expirences working with Inventor on 4K 32" monitors?
Show and not tell.
The Jig Settings are the consequences of the underlying geometry.
It also gives me the flat pattern and DXF for fabrication.
I’ve always worked in Solidworks (but started out in fusion 360 back in the days), until now at my new job where it’s inventor instead. And I’m surprised at how much I’m struggling. It’s very obviously similar in function, but it’s like learning to write on another keyboard layout. I know exactly what I want to do, and I know the process (more or less, there are differences of course), but actually doing it is hard.
I’ve now spent over an hour on a single sketch that’d have taken me 5 minutes tops in Solidworks.
So, does anyone have any tips, YouTube videos or guides specifically aimed at people transitioning?
I’m designing a tube chassis in Autodesk Inventor using Frame Generator. Some of my chassis tubes are bent, and I’m also notching/coping the ends so they fit perfectly against the other tubes for welding.
The problem is that I need to send the tube geometry to a CNC tube-cutting/notching machine, and I need the machine to recognize the notches on the bent tubes.
I can create the notches in Inventor, but I can’t figure out how to straighten/unroll the bent tube while keeping the notch geometry so I can export it for the cutting machine.
What’s the correct workflow for this in Inventor?
Hi there.
I’m a French student in the PTSI/PT preparatory stream, and I need a laptop for 3D modeling using Inventor. The problem is, I don’t know much about laptops at all—which is why I’m posting this. If anyone knowledgeable could help me out, I’m all ears. Basically, I’m looking to buy a laptop that isn’t too expensive but gets the job done; I’m not looking for anything crazy high-end. As for using Inventor, I’d be doing it about two or three times a month.
Thanks.
I'm very new to iLogic but I tried to have a go at making Gears automatically.
So the Problem is: I made a list with all the factors that are needed for every gear according to the Norm I'm using. The factors for everything are different if you make a pinion or a gear. I made it so you can decide weather you want to make either one of them. But for some reason it just never updates the factors so I'm stuck with the pinion factors for the gears or sometimes vise versa.
I haven't quite figured out when it changes but I'm a bit confused. Can someone with iLogic experience check my code or tell me where the problem could be?
Here is the Text (Trieb means Pinion and Zahnrad is Gear):

Parameter("s1") = 1.1
Select Case Parameter("Z")
Case 6

Parameter("Hf") = 3.20
Parameter("ρ") = 1.05

Parameter("Ha") = 1.52

Does someone possibly have a blueprint or something for an iron man helmet? He's my favorite hero and I wanna make him in cad and maybe make him in aluminium later
Test: I drew a rectangle and extruded it. After applying a half cut, my model looks like it is hollow (but it is not). Why is this the case.
Come on human minds, AI did not find the soulution this time :) I think you can do it!
