shared assemblies/parts?? ?

[etc]

Bye to all,

I'm just testing inventor, curious about the new release.
work on the realization of small pneumatic presses combined, for drilling/drawing of profiles for lockers.
for each press, we often create the pistons/i from us, so we say that you have a small "free" of pistons.

the "problem" is that, for each press, I cover the parts or the axieme that form the piston in the project folder, and I go to work on that if you need changes, as often happens.

I was wondering if inventor could use parts as a proxy.
es: I am creating the axieme of the press, and the piston add it from my library, or single axieme file, outside the project.. and if I make changes on the latter should not change the original file, maybe a copy is created or you save the changes otherwise.
I hope I have not been too messed up in the explanation

has inventor of the tools that can help me? Thank you.

you can make iparts or iassemblies that are like those of the libraries: you have a file with parameterized odds linked to a table, when you insert them into the axieme asks you what type of (cylinder in your case) you want to import and generate it at the moment. These are theoretical notions that I have learned but have never served me so I have never tried to create one, if you want a more detailed explanation I can't help you.

following your example.... . :
If you peel a file from another project, it's possible that there may be problems and if you change it, you're changing it in the "other" project.
If you hit it from a library you're pointing your project to, this is by definition not editable by your project.
-However you agree that by editing a file, you should create a copy of the original version of the file.
and where should you save this copy? in the extra project library or in the project itself?
I believe that in the end if you have to have copies of files who knows where, so much so
create a copy of the piston immediately in your project and change it as you wish. :smile:

I can tell you how I work:
I have a library where you can find various commercials including pneumatic pilindri (it is up to you to organize it with folder levels)
cylinders in particular are represented by a set where the cylinder is present and the stem bound as axis but not as a stroke.
when in a project insert one or more cylinders from the library, just make them flexible to slide the stem on each cylinder without affecting the position of others.
if this method suits you for your applications go to this discussion http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=12550

The use of the "flexible", however, not to have in the library the whole range of lengths of the cylinders, but to me in this way:
in a folder that I call "models", I have a cylinder (one for each series, brand and alesaggio that I use ), which consists of a set with stem, background stem, cylinder background and cylinder body, the latter with "race=0.
the length of the stem is connected to the "race" parameter of the cylinder body; therefore to the varying length of the body, the stem also adapts.
when I need it in a project, I cover the cylinder I need and I go to change the race.
I never did it with a cylinder like ipart, but it could be an idea.
from the library I then go to fish those parts for pneumatic cylinders that are uncleanable (cerniere,forks etc)...
I don't know if it's a good method, but I don't feel bad.

I also work similarly, I do not have a template folder, but created the first cylinder of a race date when I need a different race I go to the library project copy the cylinder and the two parts that make it and modify the race parameter as you do. I do not use iparts because I lose time to conceive them and set them for good, to a new race they create a copy and when they are inserted in a project the vncoli do not take me the preview of the position (avolte qusto creates anxiety because you fear there are errors of constraints or worse you are going to crasciare)
greetings

In fact, more or less we work similarly, the only difference is that you make copies in the library, I in the current project... but at the end always of files-copy we have to do...:biggrin:

Hello, thank you for responding, and I apologize for the delay but I did not receive the notification.

@ale74269
Hi.
I have not tried iparts and iassemblies yet, but their functionality could come back useful.. I have to study a little.

@tarkus and @refaces
I think, however, a copy of the project part, I still have to do it. or whether it's me manually or automatically inventor. It is not so bad that everything is in the norm .

I have created a "free" folder with "piston" subfolder, here I have inserted several parts related to the stem, the diaphragm, the bottom of the piston and the cap, so to speak.

in assembly environment, amount the parts with the place ilogic component command. I open the original part, with the parameters window, so that it can make here any changes, and generates the part at the moment. It's always about a copy, but at least think about everything inventor and avoids me to "review" between the folders and it's also good for me not to change the original part.

the folder with the parts I added it to the locations of the project, as a library.

I really like project management on inventor, in solidworks I don't think there is (at least for single user ) a "function" project.
I think there's "divert" in exploring iparts ilogic parameters and rules. :

Thank you.

:biggrin: but it's beautiful, every now and then there's someone who finds the advantages of inventor in the eternal dispute inventor vs. solidworks...:biggrin:

 

[etc]

I'm sorry if I go a little... but... citing a temporary disadvantage... as I do in assembly.. to bind two parts concentricly?? or align two plates using holes.. (on the respective plates) concentricly bound ???.
only hitch at the moment.. for the rest all satisfactions


Bah... Okay I managed to.- :d. thanks
