mkosek16 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Good morning, I recently downloaded a .SAT part from 3dcontentcentral.com and i would like to use it in an assembly i am creating. Problem is, once i pulled it into Inventor, I am unable to edit the part to match the dimensions necessary for my assembly. How do i go about editing this part? Is there a way that i can copy the components of the part and paste into a new drawing, save as a normal part, then edit? I have attached a screenshop of the part so you can see the Model tree. Any help would be greatly appreciated! p.s. I would simply redraw the part, however i am having a lot of difficulty getting it to look as i want it to. Thanks, Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 In the App Exchange there's a thing that can do some feature recognition when you have parts like this that just come in as a base part. It's not really perfect, though ... hate to say it, but you'll probably be stuck modelling it again. Shouldn't be too hard, though - you can use the existing part as a guide, if you do it either in an assembly or derive that into your new .IPT as a surface body.
