DoctorDrake Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Having trouble figuring out how to draw 90's and 45's using just inventor (not professional.) I am trying to draw a drain on a vertical seperator. The drain is 5 inches long and makes a 90 degree bend sideways. the radius of the bend is 4 3/16" (4.1875".) i have attached the autocad dwg of what i am trying to accomplish. thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelStalker Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Did you ever find a solution for this? I am also wondering how to do it in Inventor without Inventor Professional. I can do it in AutoCAD using offset in 2D or revolve and union in 3D but I'd like to learn how to do it in Inventor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelStalker Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 For now I just drew it in ACAD and imported it into Inventor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 For now I just drew it in ACAD and imported it into Inventor. Do you still need to know how to do it the easy way (in Inventor)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelStalker Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I would like to learn how to do it in Inventor; I'm sure I will have to do it again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 drain 90.ipt This is the easy way to do it in Inventor. Or at least, it's an easy way. You'll have to change the position of the circles - I don't think the alignment is quite the way you wanted, but the principle is the same.

psylencer Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Perhaps a stupid response, but doesn't inventor have a sweep tool? Tons of demos and tutorials around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelStalker Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for your response! I will look into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
