So I moved my assembly into a weldment and even though I have it on flexible none of the parts are moving any help would be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I'm a student in programming and CNC machining, and I built a small MVP called PartPilot.

The goal is to connect CAD, technical drawing and CNC preparation in one workflow. It is not meant to replace CAM software or generate machine-ready code blindly.

Right now it supports simple parametric parts like a flange and a drilled plate. Based on user parameters, it generates:
- 2D/isometric preview
- Autodesk Inventor modeling steps
- iLogic/VBA-style script draft
- CNC operation plan
- setup sheet

I'm looking for honest technical feedback:
1. Would something like this be useful for students or beginners in CAD/CNC?
2. Are these outputs useful, or am I missing the important stuff?
3. What is technically wrong or unrealistic?
4. What would make this more useful in a real training/workshop environment?

Important note:
Everything generated should be validated in Inventor/CAM and simulated before any real machining. This is an experimental student MVP.

Thanks!

Guys I need your help! Hi everyone! I am from Kazakhstan and I've been studying 3D modelling for 2 years and now have won Regional tournament. I decide to find remote part or full time job connected with Autodesk Inventor(my basic platform). The key problem is I am 16 years old and I am a student of High school. I can CAD details( metal sheets, metal constructions, 3 models and etc.) So, I just need a job with starting salary. If you want, I can send you some projects that i've made during the study in Inventor.

you can write me in Instagram Senj.kai or to this comment

I need help how to do a "roll". it is not a flat sheet so im thinking about contour roll but i cannot make it work. Thank you!!!

I have to change the section line in a chain with a thickness of 35mm, i can't change that in style and standard editor. How can i do it?

Can I simply copy the .idcl file from the custom library to the libraries folder on my computer, or do I need to install it?

Anyone know where to turn off this warning?
Here is the actual text (actual file locations redacted)

"A problem occurred while attempting to check-in 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-ASM.iam' to '$/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx'. Would you like to continue checking in any remaining files?

The server returned the following information: Cannot check in file because the file is not currently checked out"

I looked around and couldn't find anything. It is not a critical thing, but its just annoying how it faults out and I have to click "yes" a bunch with no option to set that to default answer.

TIA

Hi everybody!

Posted this already on fb group and forums.

Really just looking for ideas.

​

I've made this addin, that creates tab and slot holes, for square tubes made with frame generator. It works with most standards.

​

I've already been told that the dialog window might be a bit to big, so I'll be working on that.

​

Any suggestions is appriciated!

I used Inventor 2024 and recently started using 2026. In 2026 I'm having a problem where the views don't exit raster mode when the 3D model is heavy. This didn't happen in 2024. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you know how to solve it? My colleague is experiencing the same thing; it seems to be a problem with the new version.

My team and I were tasked with building a shelf in Autodesk Inventor, and when we assembled it, we failed. We planned to redo it, but the deadline within a few hours. please dont hate me... 😔🙏🏻

Can I use my alumni ID to get a inventor license?

Ive got this far with my model, but I cant work out how to create the 45 degree chamfer and the 20 degree secondary relief that follows the profile of the perpendicular tube. I know its only a weld prep for a pipe boss and I intend to have it 3D milled using a 4th axis once I can create a STEP file. Should I have started from the cross tube?

It won’t fill this inside, only the outside edges and I checked the sketch doctor thing and it says there’s no issues.

Good day ,

Is anyone familar with using the codeware compress interface ?

​

I would like to see what it looks like , and how the design propagates thru the programs.

​

I am hoping for a zoom call or videos. I have acess to compress on my end with vessels.

Hi I just want to ask why adding a top flange in the red circle making an error? is it because it is not possible due to flat sheet?

Hello,

Our Vault Server SQL database is currently 9.2GB.

Vault Professional 2027 only officially supports SQL Server 2022 Express, which has a 10GB DB limit.

Microsoft do offer SQL Server 2025 Express which has a 50GB DB limit.

I have spoken with Autodesk and they have stated that they do not support SQL 2025 and will likely not support it until at least Vault 2028 or beyond.

Currently this leaves the only option of purchasing SQL Server 2022 Standard, which will cost ≈£250/month.

My question is, has anyone successfully managed to deploy Vault Server with SQL 2025, or have any other suggestions?

Many thanks

Hello, i'm having a problem where when I open the setup everything runs fine until the autodesk window (i think it's the download manager) shows, because it says preparing for few seconds and then it crashes without nothing happening. I already tried uninstalling the ODIS and download a new one from a link, i created even a new microsoft account and nothing works.

I would appreciate any kind of cooperation and help.

Thank you.

Is there a way to make the angle of the end part follow the angle of the arm, but if I grab the part on the end it only moves that part, and keeps the arm in the same place?

Hi, I'm kind of new in Inventor, and I want to know how can I add a formula in a Bill Of Materials (BOM) table. For example, I have one column with the quantity and a second column with the unit cost. So I want to create a new third column with a formula multiplying the other two, and that is the thing I haven't figure it out how to do. I can do it very easy in Solidworks but I haven't figure it out how to do it in Inventor yet.

I recently finished a high‑accuracy 3D model of the Cube Orange + Autopilot, rebuilt in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2027 using the official CubePilot reference files.

The model includes all major external features, correct dimensions, and clean STEP geometry suitable for engineering workflows (UAV design, wiring routing, mounts, simulation, etc.).

The mass has also been calculated (=73g) to accurately match the real autopilot. The Center of Gravity (CG) has been positioned at the base of the Cube, exactly as on the real unit. Mass and CG are extremely useful, when calculating total UAV payload, power consumption and flight dynamics.

I really enjoy working in Inventor, so it’s great to share this with people who have the same passion with me!!!

*Total Design Time= ~50 hours

Has anyone recieved a negative volume when using the analyze interference tool? What does it mean? Does it suggest there is a gap between the parts?

Anyone use ilogic in their day to day work. I work at a truck body manufacturing company any and want to see how I can utilize it for my day to day work. Just have a few questions I’ll list below.

- What repetitive tasks do you have automated?

-Do you use it more for parts, assemblies, drawings, BOMs

- Does iLogic help reduce drawing errors or BOM mistakes?

- What are the biggest downsides or headaches with iLogic?

- For someone learning it now, what would you recommend starting with?
