darrenm Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I'm just an artistic sculptor wanting to try tube and pipe. what do I need to click to get there? Quote
darrenm Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 here's a screenshot of my software. Quote
rdharvey Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Ahh I see it's because you have inventor publisher not the inventor suite. It's not possible to do things like that in publisher as it is just an platform to produce presentations and instructions etc. Quote
darrenm Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 thanks so much for figuring that out for me! Quote
rdharvey Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 No problem, What are you trying to achieve? i'm just wondering if inventor is thr right software for you to be using. Quote
darrenm Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 I want to experiment with bending and welding pipe and tube as sculpture. inventor is a way to sketch ideas Quote
JD Mather Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I want to experiment with bending and welding pipe and tube as sculpture. http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content/DSG322/Inventor%20Tutorials/Inventor%2011%20Tutorial%207.pdf I imagine most bends would be easier than tying a knot. Quote
darrenm Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Thank you JD thats an awesome tutorial Quote
JD Mather Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Go through this one first - http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf Quote
darrenm Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 my environments tab isn't populating a tube and pipe option. what type of new file do I use? Quote
JD Mather Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Do you have Inventor Professional or Inventor Routed Systems? You must be in an assembly file (*.iam). Questions might be easier to answer if you post screen shots of what you do see. Quote
darrenm Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 I have inventor professional. I'm using an assembly file and I've selected tubing with bends. Where is the Create Tube & Pipe Run dialog box? Quote
JD Mather Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Where is your history browser? I don't see a route? Have you gone through tutorials and skill builders? Quote
vertical horizons Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Go through this one first - http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf Very informative. Quote
vertical horizons Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 ... Have you gone through tutorials and skill builders? I am looking for "Pipe Run" tutorials right now. That's how I came across this thread. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the archives, but either I didn't look close enough, or there aren't any "Pipe Run" tutorials. (BTW, we upgraded last week to Inventor 2013.) Quote
JD Mather Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 F1 (be sure to download the Tutorial files and set your active Project to the Tutorial.ipj) There might be something here as well, but not sure anyone has presented on Routed Systems recently http://au.autodesk.com Quote
vertical horizons Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks, JD. For anyone else that's interested, I found the link ... http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2013/Help/0126-Tutorial126/1042-Tube_and1042/1043-Get_Star1043/1046-Create_a1046 Thanks again, JD. Quote
