Inventor 2012/2013 hjelp tar meg ikke direkte til rett sted!

Inventor 2012/2013 hjelp tar meg ikke direkte til rett sted!

Syns du det er kjedelig at Inventor ikke tar deg direkte til det riktige stede i hjelp når du trykker på F1 på et spesielt sted i en dialogboks? Nå du for eksempel er inne i «Application Options» og er på fanen «Drawing», trykker F1 så blir du tatt til wikihjelp, og da til toppen av hjelp for «Application Options» når du egentlig vil til «Drawing»

For å få det til å virke slik det gjorde tidligere, at du kom direkte til riktig sted, må du først laste ned lokal hjelp herfra. Lagre den under lokasjonen:
C:\Programfiler\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Local Help

__• Finn filen HelpIds.xml, denne ligger på standard lokasjon,
C:\Programfiler\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Bin
• Åpne filen HelpIds.xml I text editor, for eksempel notepad.
• Søk etter «UseOnline», og endre denne verdien til «0», da skal det se slik ut: UseOnline="0"
• Lagre xml filen.

UIempen med dette er at du ikke vil få med deg de oppdateringene av hjelpen som dukker opp på http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/

Free technology preview of Inventor Simplification Now Available

The Shrinkwrap Add-in for Inventor started out as a technology preview on Labs. So when Inventor Product Manager, Garin Gardiner, approached me about a similar technology preview on Labs, I was happy to oblige.

// Download Inventor Simplification Technology Preview via Autodesk Labs

Let's say you have an Inventor Model that you want to bring into Revit. You don't need its internals. Let's say you want to share your Inventor model with a third party but want to remove some of your sensitive intellectual property. Then perhaps this technology preview is for you? Is this the Golden Goose for protecting your IP? Please try it and let us know if we are correct in our thinking. You can contact us at labs.iv.simplification@autodesk.com or the discussion forum. We are looking to hear from Inventor 2013 users. Congratulations to Daniel Stockinger who was the first non-Autodesk-employee to download this technology preview.

Simplification is alive in the lab.

Updating the Excel table in the drawing

You have inserted an Excel sheet in your drawing from menu Annotate - Table - General

Without closing the drawing file, from Windows Explorer you open, edit the Excel file, close and save it.
In order to update the Excel sheet in the drawing with the changes you have applied without closing and reopening the drawing file, you just need to do the following.
Select the Table in the drawing browser or in the graphic window, right-click, Update.

Autodesk ForceEffect v2.0 now available

In November last year, Autodesk released a new simulation app for the iPad called ForceEffect, you might remember reading my blog post about it.

Last week, ForceEffect v2.0 was released to the Apple iTunes store for download and update with a number of new features added to the app. The new features include:

- iPod Touch\iPhone Support
- On-line Tutorials
- Distributed Load
- Set Weight
- Construction Line
- Autodesk Cloud Support
- Break Element

The #1 customer request was for the addition to add a distributed load evenly across an existing element and the #2 request was support on the iPhone and iPod Touch devices. ForceEffect v2.0 adds both of the #1 and #2 customer requests!!

The on-line tutorials can be accessed directly from within ForceEffect v2.0 and include videos of how to use the app directly within the app itself - so no need to leave the app watch the videos and learn about it.

Having access to Autodesk Cloud documents directly from within ForceEffect v2.0 means you can save your studies to Autodesk Cloud and access them from your laptop or desktop and re-use the data in your design development using tools like Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD Mechanical. Alternativley, you can open documents you have saved to Autodesk Could into ForceEffect v2.0 to carry out a structural study.

If you've not yet downloaded Autodesk ForceEffect, it's free and downloadable from the Apple iTunes Store:

If already have ForceEffect installed on your iOS device make sure you update from the App Store.

Dimension of the internal circle of external threads in views

You have applied an external thread to a cylindrical part.

Then, you create the view of this part displaying and dimensioning the thread, but you want to know how Inventor calculates the dimension of the internal circle of the thread.

The calculation is based on the values in Threads.xls file.

For instance you have applied the ANSI Metric M Profile thread (M50x4, Class 6g) to a cylinder with a diameter D = 50 mm.

In this case the diameter d of the internal circle of the thread in the view is calculated with the formula below.

d = D – [Major Dia Min (column H) – Minor Dia Min (column L)]

That is.

d = 50 mm – [49.465 – 44.642] mm = 45.177 mm

In case you apply a thread and its column L is empty in the Threads.xls file, as, for instance the ANSI Unified Screw Threads and the majority of the Pipe Threads, the diameter d of the internal line of the thread in the view is calculated with the formula below.

d = D – [Major Dia Max (column G) – Minor Dia Max (column K)]

Receiving Automatic Notifications from Autodesk

Here is a Movie I just created and also the script. Enjoy....

Common comment we hear from customers is that Autodesk releases so many Hotfixes, Updates and Solutions that its difficult to keep a track of them all. Its not always easy to navigate through multiple websites trying to find them all.

One possible solution is to allow notifications be delivered to you via RSS feeds. RSS feeds is a standard technology for having news headlines delivered to you rather than you having to search them out.

RSS feeds can be viewed in applications you use every day like Microsoft Outlook.

To set RSS feeds up in Microsoft Outlook you first go to the website that you want to subscribe to, in this case I want to receive notifications about Autodesk Vault and Inventor.

So lets go to the Autodesk Website. (www.autodesk.com)
In the bottom right hand corner is the orange and white RSS icon. Click that.
Under Support Feeds select
"Product Support, Updates & Service Packs"

Select "Autodesk Inventor" and "Autodesk Vault"

Click Create Custom Feed

This generates a URL
Copy the URL,
In Outlook, Under RSS Feeds, Right click and select "Add a new RSS feed"
Paste the copied URL, then click Add

you can click the Advanced button for more options like the feed name or the destination folder and most importantly "Automatically download enclosures for this RSS feed"

If you set it up correctly you will see the latest feeds appear in front of you.

RSS is a technology used by many Autodesk websites and you can also us it for other sites including our popular blogs like "Cracking the Vault", Without a Net and Being Inventive

So, thank you for your attention

I hope you found this video solution informative and useful.

July ADN Plugin of the Month, PointLinker for Inventor, Now Available

Announcement: You can keep your data in synch.

The ADN Plugin of the Month technology preview allows you to download an add-in for one of our design applications that includes a pre-made working version as well as the source code for the add-in. It is meant to inspire you on-the-fence-about-programming Labs community members into developing your own add-ins. Learn more about them on Autodesk Labs.

Plugin of the Month on Autodesk Labs

The plugin for July is PointLinker for Inventor. This add-in was written by Xiaodong Liang of the Developer Technical Services team.

As noted in the read me:

Inventor can import point data from a Microsoft Excel file, but once the data has been imported, the link with Excel is not retained. If the user then updates the point data in the Excel file, the data must be manually re-imported and the associated model re-constructed. This is a time consuming and inefficient exercise.

The Point Linker for Inventor tool was developed to allow Inventor users to import points from an Excel file and retain a link to that file. The user can import data (as with the existing command), update with new data, or resolve to another Excel file.

The plugin is compatible with Inventor 2009-2012. Please give it a try and let us know what you think at labs.plugins@autodesk.com.

Plugging away is alive in the lab.
