inventor: copy with basic point

[Mirco T.]

Good morning to all,
I must import elements of a structure (already converted into solids) inside of inventor.

the fundamental point is that in the import process the correct cordinates and ucs position are maintained so as to export to the end of work a file placed correctly.
Is it possible?
to make an example I would need a comenando like the copy with base point of autocad.

Good morning.

as I don't believe it exists together, I've always seen management with constraints.
if instead we talk about a multibody, it could try with the "series guided by sketch", although it is definitely more slender.

hello being already converted into solids, I think it is to be restored, and I don't know if there are other paths that can be

While I was trying to formulate the answer, I realize that there is little information missing. . .
depends on how it is made (at modeling level) the structure to import and how it is converted: insert it into a set and fix all the elements is not enough? the various components have a common origin or each element has its origin referred "to itself", if I can explain? In the first case it would be simple, there is the command "fixed and set as root" that binds the part to the origin.

my need is to import into the virgin file of inventor of the beams of a structure that is made with tekla, which I have already provided to change in autocad as solids.
the idea is to use beams as referral points because above them I will have to model a conduit with its supports,
a little like you do with autocad.
because once modeled the duct I will have to send it to those who do all the assembling of the plant and I would like it to be already in correct position then with ucs in the zero of plant and xyz in the right direction.
I hope I've explained myself

Thank you very much to all

I realized that the file of the structure you don't have to edit it so in inventor you can't import a unique file like multibody?

 

[Catafratto]

above all: did you try to see what happens?

How do you do that? unfortunately I am not very practical

 

[Mirco T.]

above all: did you try to see what happens?

yes the amount but does not place it in the right coordinates keeps the inventor xyz.
Moreover if more solid amount makes me for each solid an ipt and becomes unmanageable and very slow to load, for example if you want to import the whole structure I would not succeed in doing so

just to have a meter of comparison, how many pieces we talk about in the overall axieme and what hardware components has its car?

is an industrial shed will be 5000\6000 solids to me just import me only the 10\ 15 beams that interest me.
However I have 16gb of ram and the processor is the following :1th gen intel(r) core(tm) i7-1165g7 @ 2.80ghz 2.80 ghz

the ram is little for inventor today.
said that, if it is a neutral file (.step for example), it could open it, fix everything, delete the parts that you do not need, then create a simplified part of what you need and work on that.
for the ucs, sincerely I do not know programs that use them in such a push, at least on the mechanical 3d. I know that you can create auxiliary ucs, but never was required.
