Then I click the Save button while in the top level assembly and set subassembly_A and subassembly_B so that they will not save. Start a new part file, then go to the Manage tab and click the Import button. The type of file and the method you use to open the iProperties dialog box determines the available tabs. The only thing I expect is that if files are saved and checked into Vault, with the application options on: That the mass is calculated and filled in correctly. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Try it for yourself-- I just did. Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). Click the measure diagonal bounding box button, Click the selection priority you want to use. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. When an assembly is released, it means that all components need to be released (not subject to further change). To attempt to remove the update (s) and reinstall them per this Autodesk article, get a full download of the update from your Autodesk Account.

Can you post some screen shots of what you see? When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. Solved by Cadmanto. Do not sell or share my personal information, Activate one of the components/part file in the assembly where the feature appears. They are prompted to save, you can even see in above pictures, but TOP assembly does not compute the mass first time, it does on second save (when save dialog is not shown). The elements under the Solid Bodies or Surface Bodies folders. I have been trying the Document.SaveAs function with the SaveCopyFlag as both True, and False but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Step 19: Save As The hard part is over, the assembly has been made and you've just added a new skill to your tool belt! Is there a way I can override that so the parts wont be updated? Autodesk does not warrant, either expressly or implied, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information translated by the machine translation service and will not be liable for damages or losses caused by the trust placed in the translation service. I forgot to mention a couple things which was rather stupid, because they are important details. 20. I think you are correct on that one. I know that we as person/generation are asking every time more, but on the other hand the software resellers promise us also more every time! If unchecked, the appearance is set to default appearance of the target part. I see a real big progress in the newest version of Inventor of course, regarding the application options. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Doing this will execute the StepExport rule and export the step file to the SavePath folder. Can't find what you're looking for? A derived assembly (not in LT) component originates from an assembly file and may contain parts, subassemblies, and derived parts. Will this have any affect on saving as a new subassembly? Glad you joined us from lurking in the shadows. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part I want to get a 3D print of a model I have but it is a model of an assembly and it has to be converted to a solid body. When I open it in Inventor,all the parts in the assembly are solids. Disabled components remain included, however. Dependent components of a suppressed component are not listed.). You can create a part or assembly while working in an existing assembly. I'm Inventor has a similar feature. Because this mechanism is written in more than only one "Object" before it is displayed as "Mass" this is not always saved correctly within the assembly. I have lurked around for quite a bit on the forums, and have learned so much already just from observing. I hope this helps.Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,Curtishttp://inventortrenches.blogspot.com, Forum links:Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum|Inventor Ideas Forum |General Inventor Forum. whole assembly will be saved as a single part. The whole thing was rather painless, and a good enough workflow for my needs. Also, any assembly consuming the part will have N/A. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. Lets say you have found a cad file on google somewhere that you want to be using in your modell, lets say it is an assembly, and you want it to save as a file without connection to anyfiles, if you save it as step or as simplyfy parts even with braket link you still need the whole assembly to drag arround in order to open a single part, and if you want to move it to another map you need to drag all the assemblies part, what i do now i make simple part and then save as STL file in order to completely delite link to the assembly out of this world. Also if the file is already released this mass is alwasys written tot the part or assembly without checking if the file is editable in Vault terms. A derived assembly may be a scaled, mirrored, or simplified version of the original. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group.

Intersects the selected component with the derived part. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. In Solidworks, when I open it, all the parts are solids, when I save it as a part, it remains a solid? If you want to create a single solid part with no pre-existing features or bodies, choose Finish Sketch when you start the new part to close the default sketch. I wrote a post about it which you can find here: Please coem back with any questions once you've examined the options! I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. In the Open dialog box, browse to the assembly file (.iam) to use as the base component. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. It updates the mass before update is executed (asynchronous? Selects component for inclusion in the derived part. Click Open to close the Open dialog box. Create a simplified part in an assembly using the Simplify command. Create a Simplified Part from an Assembly The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. save assembly and all parts ? Creates a multi-body part that retains selected components as individual solid bodies. Go to Solution. There are quite afew options for copying designs. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. It is stored in the assembly file. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. The source is called the base component. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. Now it works just fine. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. The iProperties command is available for in-place editing of an assembly as well as in-place editing of a part. If any are needed I will try to demostrate what I need in a smaller demonstration file. One more thing is that the mass is also written even if the file is read-only, and that is not correct if you use a release process. Most often when I'm doing this I'm removing subassembly_A and subassembly_B from the top level assembly, so I delete them from the assembly at this point. Navigate to the SAT. For part instances the instance number is iterated which yields "Part1:1", "Part1:2", and so on. Regards, Igor. What's New:2022 Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. But in my problem above, I am stating another problem. Create the new part (use random shape) and save it. I can upload the .stl version if you would need that. From the Assembly tab. Save Assembly as Part File - YouTube 0:00 / 4:59 Save Assembly as Part File 5,079 views Apr 24, 2019 How and why you would save an assembly as a part file in Solidworks. The part renaming follows this pattern: "Part[sequence number]:[instance number]" which yields "Part1:1", "Part2:1", and so on. I can't find the command. To my opinion it should either work in Inventor and In an environment with Vault to. You may also include or exclude sketches, work geometry, and parameters. i have found why my steps had connectivity to assembly, because when i imported them i kept reference model on. This options should at least save proper mass, if you save it once and release it, but it does not, if it is not saved correctly as you described and as in above pictures. Standard parts and iParts about your issue and find the best support option save these pieces a. You may still have to fix a couple of constraints, as promoting and demoting can do some funky things with existing constraints (Inventor does its best to read your mind to know what you want it to do with the constraints, but sometimes it gets it wrong). See step 7 below. At least one component must have an Include status. When I've had a need to do something like this, I simply create a new subassembly_C in the top level assembly, and then save the top level assembly. I can loop through all the referenced documents and save them to the same directory as the .iam file, but when I save the actual .iam it still saves a copy of everything to the Documents/Inventor. If possible, I would like to see examples. The Simplify command is used to both create and edit simplified parts. option, then open it in. Assembly features are features that show up in the assembly drawing and not in the part file. Hope you understand the issue here and maybe it is more or less only needed when using Vault and released files. The relationships between the leftover parts would be retained, though you may need to apply new relationships if certain parts were held together by removed parts. Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum, Select the Derive tool in the Create section of the 3D Model ribbon, Navigate to your saved assembly file on disk. If the base part is a multi-body part with more than one body visible, no bodies are displayed in the graphics screen. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. They have a browser representation, have properties such as quantity, BOM Structure, Part Number, and so on. RMB on the derive node in the model browser and select "Suppress Link" to temporally break the part's dependency on the assembly file. In the property panel, modify any of the following as needed: Initial State - select a different model state, design view, or position view, Components - include or exclude additional parts, Features - add or refine the parameters for features being removed. Change the part a bit so it gets dirtied (also assembly will get dirtied). Position. Click Options to specify the representations to use in the derived component and then click OK to close the File Open Options dialog box. Solution: Check one of the following: Option 1 Open Assembly file. (I already tried all 'Save As', 'Save Copy As', Export', etc options). If you ever need to convert an assembly file to a part file, use the Derive workflow. It seems update on physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. At the component instance level, you can override the structure to be Reference. However, there is another option which may obscure the request. Is this possible? If required, select the check box to keep seams between planar faces. Extend Simplification Panel and choose Create simplified Part. Use the Pack and Go functionality for this within inventor! I've only been using Inventor for a few months but have rapidly grown to like it. Select Remove All Internal Voids to fill all internal void shells in the derived solid body part. Dec 5, 2012 #4 Karol Member The option is not available with the Master design view. Go to Solution. Go to Solution. I have all files unlocked (ready to be worked on), I shape them as I please, which is OK, then I want to save on TOP assembly, but it does not update the mass of it, eventhough all below assemblies get the mass and also the part. In Solidworks, there is an option to save an assembly as a part. A STL file approximates the original model using mesh geometry. For example, a setting of zero visibility means that components that are completely hidden in any view will be removed. I could be wrong but I don't think this is a bug. You can make the new part associative to the parent part. Ask the community or share your knowledge. If the subtracted component intersects with the part, the result is a cavity. Enter a meaningful name for the new part file. 3D ContentCentral 2D 3D 2D 2,550,431 CAD 2D 3D 2D Can't find what you're looking for? Click OK. You now have a part file that is a dependent copy of an assembly file. For PDM workflow purpose, I suggest the files to be prompted to save, so that the Vault always has the latest and greatest version of the files. For example: it would be common to "drill and pin at assembly" - two or more parts would be assembled (and possibly adjusted) and then pinned in place. Repeat the same process in steps 2 & 3 on the other parts. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Unfortunately, we cannot have both. The Simplify command is not accessible when the model is in Express mode. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. This is a known issue for a long time already in Inventor (at least since 2012 of Inventor). Creating an in-place part has the same result as inserting a previously created part file. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. The Design View representation affects the status of components in the Body tab. Here's my question. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. : step, igs, parasolids, etc.) Once you have your subassembly C, you can delete the two messed-up copies of subs A and B, and delete the temporary assembly you used to perform the promote and demote functions. Then I demote or drag and drop the components from subassembly_A into subassembly_C, then drag and drop the components from subassembly_B into subassembly_C. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Changes in a model state affect the envelope size. I hope that the development team is aware! Go to Solution. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. They are added to the assembly and placed in the Model States Substitutes folder. Create the new empty assembly and save it. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. I have addressed this more than once but still this is not solved. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies and select or clear Save new components to external files. Go to Solution. Thanks!!!! This in Inventor world is called "Demoting". All the components must be at the same level within a single parent assembly. only found the ipn files. How can I save the assembly to a folder, and have it save all it's referenced parts/assemblies to that folder as well in a way where I don't have to go back and fix the references? One idea I had was to save copies of subassembly A and subassembly B. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Convert an Inventor Assembly to a single part. Solved by BDCollett. Once completed remove the adaptivity from the parts and the sketches, breaking any links in the sketches. ____________________________________________________________. Click the selection priority you want to use. I learn new things pretty much every day. Accept the default or use the Status buttons at the top to change the status of all selected objects quickly. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. In the Derived Assembly dialog box, assembly components appear in a hierarchy. If the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. This is the default option. You can save the assembly in any format (i.e. Accept the default scale factor of 1.0 or enter any positive number. If the component does not intersect the derived part, the result is no solid. Then I simply promoted the components I needed. As we all know, geometry is all stored in individual ipt files and it is where the mass is computed based on the geometry. Click the down arrow to select an origin work plane as the mirror plane. Granted, the OP was, > It would be a lot more useful (for me, at least). @johnsonshiueCan you please again take a look at the behavior. Represents the selected component in the derived part as a bounding box and creates a body from the bounding box shape. Activate one of the components/part file in the assembly where the feature appears Create a sketch on the active part file. If required, select the check box to mirror the derived part feature from the base part. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. If you can't get the result you expect, attach the STEP file here for others to have a look at if that's allowable. Ask the community or share your knowledge. From there you refine the parameters that define the simplified model. Items marked with this symbol are ignored in updates to the derived part. ). Glad you were able to find resolution to your issue. - Autodesk Community - Inventor Inventor Forum Welcome to Autodesk's Inventor Forums. Creates a single solid body derived part with no seams between planar faces. It updates the mass of every sub-component (part or assembly), but not the top assembly, unless there is no save dialog for multiple files. Then you can promote the components from the copies of A and B, then demote them into a new subassembly C. This will remove the components from the copied subassemblies, but since they are only copies, you still have your originals intact and all is well. The Assembly node is renamed to Assembly1. With the geometry projected finish the sketch and extrude the feature in the part. Changes in position view can affect the envelope size. Hi All,i have the same issue,but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated,is solidworks you do it in one "click"this is so useful when you need to convert assembly to simple part. I hope this helps.Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,Curtishttp://inventortrenches.blogspot.com, Forum links:Inventor iLogic , API and Customization Forum|Inventor Ideas Forum |General Inventor Forum. Inventor will create an entirely new Assembly, and will create all the new components on disk while creating all the new file paths (hyperlinks) inside the Assembly file. Then place them in a new assembly (just a temporary one). This option works, but only if you save it few times (at least 2), BUT if any sub-model is changed after top assembly is released, it will always need to update for the new mass, except if you "quick change" whole structure from changed part and above, which can be really tiem consuming and not effective. Hi! Using the project command select the feature edges wanted in the part file. Hi i did that it didnt work. Ask the community or share your knowledge. What I have is one major assembly, consisting of a collection of parts as well as some subassemblies. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. There isn't anything lost. The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. The same method can be used for creating your own presets. Is that an only Inventor Pro function? Or ifyou like something that was saidand it was helpful, Kudosare appreciated. SolidWork Newbie since 2001-Currently using SW2017 Inventor Newbie since 2019 Can't find what you're looking for? I'm going from memory on this process, so you might need to run through cautiously the first time to see if I've forgotten something. All other situations are more or less not that critical. AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. You can save the assembly as a part, and then it's much easy to deal with in your assembly. Because both of the files are dirtied, save dialog will pop up, save them both. Ask the community or share your knowledge. If the base part contains multiple visible solid bodies, select the required bodies to create a multi-body part. I did try that break link command and that works great. Autodesk Industry Marketing Manager UK D&MOpinions are my own and may not reflect those of my company.Linkedin|Twitter|Instagram|Facebook|Pinterest. Parts or components that fit inside the bounding box are removed. I'm open to suggestions for doing this another way, I just need a way to create an exploded view from components already in place but in separate assemblies. As you select options, other options that are invalid are hidden. Component position contributes to defining the envelope size. Thanks for pointing out new information, but I think this is a different issue. I tried using pack and go on an assembly. This is very helpful when for example, dealing with printed circuit board assemblies. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. It is set up this way to allow you to have additional processes done after the assembly, and for them to show on the correct drawings. By doing this we have reduced a lot of our Vault/Inventor related issues. Ask the community or share your knowledge. This is one of the thing between the theory and the practice. Excludes element in the derived part. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. While I have never done what you are specifically looking to do, I did just try it (grabbing different parts from random sub-assemblies) and I was able to RC and select demote with the dialog window coming up allowing me to choose a name and location. Can anybody explain why this happens or it is a bug? Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? Let me walk through the process of updating mass prop. This is a master list of components and their properties that make up an assembly. What I can remember is that the Mass property shown is stored on two different places internally and there sometimes it goes wrong. In the browser, the top-level assembly is unavailable, and the new part is active. Any CAD program can be used to edit a solid body. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go. The BOM Structure property defines the status of the component in the BOM. You can override any value. Sam BInventor Pro 2019.0.0 | Windows 7 SP1LinkedIn, saves it as an .STL file. You can sketch on the face of an assembly component (or an assembly work plane) and include geometry from other assembly components in your feature sketches. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. There's little point in having lots of functionality if it doesn't give value. You select geometry to add, subtract, or exclude from the resulting derived component. The trouble I can see is that an assembly is released, while some of the parts (shared by multiple assemblies) are still being worked on. Update physical properties on save (Parts and Assemblies) setting does not work properly. If we have update everything, all files will have mass, but if we change some low level part, all structure above will have to be computed to get the new mass. You can even give multiple Kudos. Virtual components are considered and treated as real components for all practical purposes. Hey, yeah and MLT file have some more edit possibilities to edit but stil not perfect, any suggestions what kind of file best to be using if you dont beed any connectivity to assembly and at the same time very good to edit? The mass need to be recomputed. More is the case that also if the file is not updated and already released, it will write the mass to calculate. I managed to solve this problem with iLogic: Taking iLogic solution into the account, I came to few reasons why this happens: I hope I explained it understandable. Specify the maximum diagonal value for a bounding box. To translate this article, select a language. I don't want to post any files here from my actual project. To Create a Derived Assembly (not available in Inventor LT) You may also include or exclude sketches, work geometry, and parameters. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. Now all that is left to do is save it, which you already know how to do but just in case. This page has been translated for your convenience with an automatic translation service. Create a new part, then use the 3D Model, Create, Derive command to create one solid body including all the components you want. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel.
