rotation

[westy]

Good morning, everyone.
I just joined this forum.
I am employed in an engineering company and recently began to use inventor.
I am also practicing with the help of some colleagues who know how to use it better than me, however I am trying to understand the operation as much as possible alone and I am in front of things that I do not understand immediately.
more specifically I am working on an assembly that contains a series of metal fittings whose axis of the section should be oriented from time to time depending on an angle.
I should orientate the axis of sayings mounted on the bisector of a variable angle so that it is all symmetrical seen from above.
I don't understand how to do it; if there is an automatic command as it could be the align command of autocad.
Can you give me a suggestion?
thanks for any answers

you need to use the constraints to put into relationships between them or parts with user plans; this allows to eliminate degrees of freedom to elements 3d

you have to look at the constraintshttp://help.autodesk.com/view/invntor/2018/ita/?guid=guid-ebd2c784-0e71-452a-b5f2-22738d22d45aand work planshttp://help.autodesk.com/view/invntor/2018/ita/?guid=guid-38a9748e-fa2d-44d3-928c-dfe1326a9385

Thank you very much for the explanation.
I went to study the things you suggested to me and started to understand some things.
But it seems to me that the constrains act on two parts but not between one part and a right wireframe?
For example, I should place a part (the mountaineer I told you) taking a wireframe line as reference, and if I understand correctly it is not seen from the command.

Hi.
Can you post an image?

 

[westy]

View attachment doc2.pdfsee, I have a set of mounts to place on a wireframe and I should angle them so that the axis of the section is placed on the two-sided angle of the wireframe.

But consider that I have very little experience and maybe use constrains in this case is not even the easiest way

 

[Matteo Cappelli dis.CAD]

Hi.
green lines (m seems to understand) are 2d sketch lines, so not selectable

you can create a part where such lines are extruded as surfaces and not solid (using solid extruding command but selecting the superfic option) in this way you can create tangent, bisector and angle plans related to such "wire" transformed into 3d

 

[vale79]

Yes, in fact, I would avoid using the sketch but I would turn it into a surface or even a solid (on the surfaces I am not very hardened the solids instead are simple enough to handle), at the limit then fix all the pieces that interest you and eliminate the solid "constructive".

 

[Matteo Cappelli dis.CAD]

Hi.
be careful if you bind to the solid of "construction" and then delete it.... lose all the constraints associated with it.
You can hide it by removing its visibility and, through the dx button in the axieme, you can put it as a reference so that it is not counted in separate.

 

[westy]

thanks to all for the information.
I actually tried and it's like you say.

 

[westy]

But I have another doubt.
It seems to me that the use of constrains is more suitable in case of having to do an animation, or is it not?
