kjetilhansen Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Hi. I have a quick question... When in Inventor 2010 i press "new" i can choose between Drawing and Part... But in all the tutorials I have seen when they press "new" the have a option called "Assembly" and then you can put toghether all of your parts... I have made some parts now, and i want to assemble them. Do i do that? When "Drawing" is a cind of 2d and "Part" is (i guess) only single parts...? Thanks again Quote
jonny_ill Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 assembly files have extension .iam, I usually use new standard(mm).iam for my assemblys, but there are others if you use imperial units. Quote
kjetilhansen Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Hi, and thanks for your reply. But when i press "New" i only get Standard.dwg, Standard.idw and Standard.ipt Where can i find the file extending your pointing at? Thanks. Quote
jonny_ill Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 sounds like your pressing the arrow next to the new button, I think. Try pressing file>new or pressing the actual new icon, you should get a vast array of different options to open Quote
shift1313 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 can you take a screen shot of what you are seeing. Im running 2010 and when i go to new i have everything there. Quote
JD Mather Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Are you running Inventor or are you running Inventor LT? Post screen shot as suggested. Where did you get the software? How much training did you get? Quote
kjetilhansen Posted June 6, 2009 Author Posted June 6, 2009 I dont have the app on my computer. It's on my work computer. Yes it is LT.... And i found a file whit the .iam on the server, and when i tryed to open it the app said it diden support that file... I have no training in this app... All i can is what i learned by myself.. Quote
MarkFlayler Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Inventor LT does not support Assemblies; that is why it is a fourth of the cost of standard Inventor. I will recommend that you go through JD's tutorials as well as the Getting Started Guides for the software: http://rand.com/imaginit/1/rss/viewitem.asp?feedid=BLOGS_MFG_ALL&guid=607 You might also want to watch a webinar or two of an introduction to the software. We hold one each month as well as a tips and tricks and it is free (Click on Events): http://rand.com/imaginit/1/rss/manufacturing_blog.asp?feedid=BLOGS_MFG_ALL Quote
