Hello all. How take an Autodesk Inventor assembly and simply it to a single part file to one solid body to simplify the modeling. In Solidworks, there is an option to save an assembly as a part. 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. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Parts can terminate on the face of another component. There are quite afew options for copying designs. Changes in a model state affect the envelope size. Begin selecting parts or components in the canvas. Solved by jjstr8. Check out the derived part tool. If the base part contains multiple visible solid bodies, select the required bodies to create a multi-body part. save the assembly as SAT file using Save Copy As. (The iMate may be used, but not edited.). It is stored in the assembly file. 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. 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! 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. Go to Solution. To select all occurrences of the selected item click the All Occurrences option. Can anybody explain why this happens or it is a bug? This is not correct. 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. i have the same issue, but i don't understand way it need to be so complicated. Solved by cwhetten. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Save -> "Mass Prop Update", "Implicit Update", or "Recomputable Update" -> set it to Yes. Solved by JDMather.

I know from the title it might look like I just want to create a subassembly from parts already in an assembly, but it's a little more complicated than that. To translate this article, select a language. Use the Pack and Go functionality for this within inventor! Sam BInventor Pro 2019.0.0 | Windows 7 SP1LinkedIn, saves it as an .STL file. Somehow update mass does not run properly on top assembly (it is still enabled after saving, while on other documents is not). 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. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. Solution: Within the Autodesk Inventor Assembly To use the Shrinkwrap process which is described in this article on how to create a Shrinkwrap part: whole assembly will be saved as a single part. 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. 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. 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). I tried using pack and go on an assembly. If you prefer, you can make the constraint adaptive by setting an option on the Assembly tab of the Application Options dialog box. Click the Representations tab to select a Design View, Positional, and Level of Detail representation. I've done a bit of research on it and I don't believe this particular question has been asked before. BOM Structure has five basic options: Normal, Phantom, Reference, Purchased, and Inseparable. This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. To specify the body or bodies to include, expand the Solid Bodies folder and use the Status button to include or exclude bodies. Also, any assembly consuming the part will have N/A. (I already tried all 'Save As', 'Save Copy As', Export', etc options). You can make the new part associative to the parent part. With the geometry projected finish the sketch and extrude the feature in the part. If unchecked, the appearance is set to default appearance of the target part. The bounding box updates to reflect changes in the derived component or in the base component. Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums.

Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. A STEP file has no links to any of its origin files, and if you create a simplified part from an assembly and break the link, there is no longer any tie to the assembly and components. Part now has mass updated, but assembly does not. .Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor iLogic, API & VBA topics related to programming, creating add-ins, macros, working with the API or creating iLogic tools. Later the parts are updated. Go to the assembly and save it. Position. 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. AutoCAD, union it all together and export as SAT file again. Go to Solution. "If you find my answer solved your question, please select the Accept Solution icon", John HackneyRetiredBeyond the Drafting Board. Open the destination assembly, expand the Model States folder, right-click the Substitutes folder, expand New Substitute, click Select Part File, and browse to the part file on disk. Sounds like you are after 2010 multi-body solids, but I still don't understand where the "can't change anything" comes in? Regards, Igor. Success! The active design view displays. If needed edit the sketch and add dimensions in each part. In the assembly environment you can use the Bill of Materials command (see Figure 1) located in the Manage panel of the Assemble tab. For part instances the instance number is iterated which yields "Part1:1", "Part1:2", and so on. Creates a single solid body derived part with seams between planar faces. Whenever a part geometry is changed, the mass will need to be recomputed. Ask the community or share your knowledge. In Solidworks this is done by File, Save As, then change the extension to a part file. There is only one BOM per assembly. 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. Thanks in advance. I have a script which opens a STEP file, and I do some operations within it, and then I attempt to save it as a .iam file and referenced .ipt/.iam files. RMB on the derive node in the model browser and select "Suppress Link" to temporally break the part's dependency on the assembly file. If you want to edit with Inventor, then use a simplified assembly (=.ipt) file with the link to assembly broken. If the Y-axis is perpendicular to the Top plane, the model is rotated so the Inventor Z-axis is perpendicular to the View Cube Top plane. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. The result is that components in subassembly_C are all assembled in place and ready to go.
