Furthermore since you have highlighted it: For (at least a Vault Environment) some application options should have been fixed and only to be changeable by an administrator. 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. Solved by jmdnq9. Delete the assembly feature from the assembly file as it's no longer needed. Select the options to bring it in as Solids and as a multi-body part or a composite, as needed. 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? 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. 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. http://cadsetterout.com/inventor-tutorials/copy-an-autodesk-inventor-design/. You can make the new part associative to the parent part. BOM Structure has five basic options: Normal, Phantom, Reference, Purchased, and Inseparable. There isn't anything lost. This option allows the part to resize or change position if the constraining parameters or components change.

An active selector has a blue highlight at the bottom of the control. The reduced detail decreases memory consumption. 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). SolidWork Newbie since 2001-Currently using SW2017 Inventor Newbie since 2019 Software installation, registration & licensing part resides with the assembly file > Export > CAD format save. A derived assembly (not in LT) component originates from an assembly file and may contain parts, subassemblies, and derived parts. 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. Click the selection priority you want to use. 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.

How take an Autodesk Inventor assembly and simply it to a single part file to one solid body to simplify the modeling. Continue selecting remaining components as needed to exclude them from the simplified part. 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! If the App options is not turned on, the mass of such part will show N/A. Verify that you have selected needed bodies, sketches, work geometry, parameters, and representations, and then click OK. The iProperties command is available for in-place editing of an assembly as well as in-place editing of a part. To translate this article, select a language. If required, click Select from Base to allow graphical selection of components from the base component window. In the browser, the top-level assembly is unavailable, and the new part is active. The virtual component is a component that requires no modeling of geometry and no file. Then you should have addressed your concern to the OP, not to me. 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. You can now save and close your template file. Parts or components that fit inside the bounding box are removed. This is a known issue for a long time already in Inventor (at least since 2012 of Inventor). Welcome to Autodesks Inventor Forums. 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 time consuming and not effective. They have a browser representation, have properties such as quantity, BOM Structure, Part Number, and so on. What exactly do you mean by "a solid body where I can't change anything?" 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. 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. Disabled components remain included, however. This is not correct. Report 0 Likes Reply 6 REPLIES Message 2 of 7 jhackney1972 And, the assemblies will need to be recomputed. Four built-in presets are provided, plus you can create your own. Additionally, some of the parts I need to do this with are design accelerator parts. Click Open to close the Open dialog box. Or select "Break Link" to permanently break the dependency. If the base part is a multi-body part with more than one body visible, no bodies are displayed in the graphics screen. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Then I saved temporary versions of the subassemblies I had and then used component->replace to input the new subassemblies. It was also set the same in example above. Use one of these methods to specify the size: Click the arrow at the end of the value field to select a recently used value. Do not sell or share my personal information. Hello all. Go to Solution. 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. While it is true that a STL file has no connection to the model that produced it (as with STEP), a STL file is no longer usable geometry in Inventor or many other modeling systems. Parts created in place (in an assembly context) can be: You select the default BOM Structure for the in-place component. Extruded features with From To or To extents to other assembly components are adaptive by default. You select geometry to add, subtract, or exclude from the resulting derived component. When the command starts the active model state, design view, and position view populate the Initial State group. RMB on the derive node in the model browser and select "Suppress Link" to temporally break the part's dependency on the assembly file.

More information about creating simplified part in: To Combine Components into Simplified Part This is a master list of components and their properties that make up an assembly. Is it possible to save an assembly and all dependant parts to one single new location ? This problem has nothing do to with above discussion. Use the Simplify command to reduce the content within an assembly by removing components, features, and output a simplified part file. When I go to save the new assembly I get told Older Version file, and saving will convert the files tot he current version. Go to Solution. I then close the top level assembly (without saving changes) and reopen it. I'm starting with a STEP file (from a vendor). What I did was save this assembly a new one, and then delete everything I didn't need. 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. I wish I could mark all of your posts as solutions because I essentially used elements of each to get my new file. I did try that break link command and that works great. If required, turn off the Show All Objects check box to display only exported elements in the list. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics. Parts can terminate on the face of another component. To get the assembly feature in a part file do the following. Use the From To or To extents options for Extruded features. Repeat the same process in steps 2 & 3 on the other parts. Select the Hole patching options if required. This is not an official translation and may contain errors and inaccurate translations.

To translate this article, select a language. Create a Simplified Part from an Assembly The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. Thanks for pointing out new information, but I think this is a different issue. When creating a part, you can project geometry from the face of another part. Go to the assembly and save it. Go to Solution. You can remove geometry by visibility and size to simplify the part. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016 You could use the copy tool in the assembly environment. You should activate the part (double click, or rt click and edit) in the assembly before making the change if you want to see it on the part. Try it for yourself-- I just did. I have never done this and I have to say that I don't remember seeing this question posted here before. 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. To translate this article, select a language. A geometric constraint is applied (by default) between the selected face and the face created from the new sketch. The Simplify command creates either a derived solid or a derived surface composite part from an assembly. Model orientation: The export process looks at the Inventor ViewCube Top and the Inventor Y-axis. If a sketch is active when you create the part, click Return to close the sketch. I need to search again for it but I am sure the mass is first written internally to the assembly and the part before it is written to the Physical Property, and there it goes wrong. Your choice!!! 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. Place multiple parts into assembly. Ask the community or share your knowledge. You can save the assembly as a part, and then it's much easy to deal with in your assembly.
