Re: Create Punch tool in inventor 2013 yes but if I make a request on this forum is to have another tutorial. I already find the inventor tutorial but I am looking for another tutorial to have a more precise idea of what I should do. Apr 13, 2014  Punch Tool-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration) The Punch Tool command is used to cut or deform sheets by placing predefined Punch tool geometry. To apply this tool the sheet metal face must have a sketch with one or more unconsumed centre mark.

It would be closest to a louver tool.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IFeature Punch Tool Name When Feature Name Has Changed

My company is trying to put some automation together to pull design attributes of parts and assemblies to drive routing creation in the shop.
The issue that we have run into is that for certain ifeatures, we need to gain access to the name (or punch ID) of an ifeature (primarily punch tools). Pulling the name of the feature that the tool created is relatively easy, but because you are able to change the name of the feature as it appears in the model browser, it isn't the most reliable way to get that information.
We are looking for a way to figure out what the name of the ifeature used to create the feature without referencing the resulting feature's name in the model tree.
I've included an example, and I'm looking for the name of the tool which should be 'Ob_750X562'.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Punch Converting Text To Sketched Symbol?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Flat Pattern With Center Punch Marks For Drilling Operation

I have a part that we will cut out on a CNC plasma machine that will undergo a drilling operation. We create all the parts that will be cut on the plasma in the sheet metal environment because of the simple flat pattern export. Our plasma machine has the ability to scribe lines and also create center punch marks. It distinguishes between cut lines, scribe lines, and center punch marks by layer name. I need a way to get the center points of the drill locations into their own layer.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Punch Table Not Appearing After Placing Original Point

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 - Can't Create New Files

I am currently using Autodesk Inventor 2013 Product Design Suite. When I open a new instance of Inventor, I get the 'Welcome!' window the pops up along with the blank inventor program. From here if I attempt to create a 'new' file, it seems to just freeze. I cannot even get into the window that lets you pick which template you would like to use. I have tried creating from all 4 locations (Welcome!, general toolbar, Get Started, and Inventor's file equiv).
I have no problems opening files that have already been created which leads me to believe that there must be some error in bringing up that new template window. This makes converting my 3D models into 2D autoCAD files impossible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Running View 2013 Does Not Create Registry Key

i am wanting to use the apprentice server in another program. The apprentice server is 'normally' found in the registry under this key:
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
The problem is, that if you uninstall all things autodesk, and run a registry cleaner (or delete that key by hand), and then install only inventor view 2013 and run inventor view 2013, it will *not* create that key in the registry.
This makes it impossible to run the apprentice thru the COM mechanism, even your SDK samples will not work.
(i suspect (but havent proved), the bigger problem is on a brand new machine, install and run only inventor view 2013 , you still can't use the apprentice server.)
The 'workaround' is to install and run inventor view 2012. running inventor view 2012 will create the registry key. After that, running inventor view 2013 will happily update the key's value to the appropriate place.
(C:Program FilesAutodeskInventor View 2013BinRxApprenticeServer.dll)
so try this :
1) run regedit and delete the key and all its subkeys
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
2) optionally install inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter).
2) run inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter). exit it
3) run regedit. the key is not there still. you won't be able to run any SDK samples or get an apprentice server using the following 'basic'
Set ApprenticeServer = New ApprenticeServerComponent
i'm on windows7, x64. (iv2013 is: build 126, Release: 2013 RTM)
is a bug in 'inventor view 2013', or is that intended for some strange reason?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create New File 2013 (Freezing And Lagging)

-Inventor 2013 SP1.1 (Issue)
-Inventor 2011 SP2 (No Issue)
Templates have been coverted up from 2011, keeping copies of the old templates in separate folders all under the same parent directory.Have 2013 mapped to the folder with updated templates located on a network drive. Total of 18 temolates including the standard templates.
Computer specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz

NVIDIA Quadro 2000
The Issue:I start Inventor 2013 or open an .ipt/.iam ect. I now want to create a new file so I click the 'New' Icon.Inventor freezes for 10-15seconds and finally shows the templates.After that if you click on any of the templates it freezes instantly. Or if you scroll the browser bar down to navigate the folder. 15-35 seconds
After selecting the correct template it freezes for about 15 seconds.For those keeping track Thats 40-65 seconds just to open a drawing..
For Inventor 2011.Click, Click, Click. Open..Takes maybe 5 seconds.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A 3D Sweep

Trying to create a 3D sweep. I want to keep the sweep parallel to the XZ plane (like a parting surface). In the attached part, there is a SweepSrf3 that has sort of what I am trying to do, but it does not go all the way around the path. Notice how the sweep is parallel to the plane. I tried to do the same thing in SweepSrf4, by selecting the 3D Sketch1 as the path, Sketch2 as the profile, and Workplane2 as the Guide Surface. That failed.
In SweepSrf4, the only way that I could get the sweep to come close to working was to use the 3D Sketch1 as the guide rail and the circle as the Path. Seems like I need to use the circle as the guide rail and the 3D Sketch1 as the path to get what I want.. but that fails.

I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.
