It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.

One of the new Inventor features that I've come to like the more and more I use it is the new Assemble tool.
The Assemble Tool in Action(click to enlarge)
This tool let's you apply assembly constraints just by picking the correct geometry, and 'fine tuning' a bit with your direct manipulation tools. You don't have to activate the Constraint tool and tell Inventor which constraint you want.
I had to take some time to practice to get the nuances of it but now that I'm getting those down, all I can say is; 'Wow, I'm having fun now!'
Here's a video I put together. Notice how I use the 'Select Other' tool to cycle through different assembly constraint options.
Happy Inventing!

William,
ReplyDeleteI checked the link and it seems to be working.
The video can also be accessed from youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t0jmupA_WQ
Is it possible that there's something going on with Flash? Perhaps make sure you're on the current version?
Wow neat! This is a really great site! I am wondering if anyone else has come across something
ReplyDeletelike this in the past? Keep up the great work!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have a message for the webmaster/admin here at inventor-tales.blogspot.com.
Can I use part of the information from your blog post right above if I give a backlink back to your site?
Thanks,

Mark,
ReplyDeleteFeel free to share the link with the linkback.
May I ask where you'd be sharing the info?
Thanks!

Hello , can anybody please tell me why this assemble menu comes in screen every time i want to move a part in my assembly , this is very irritating, because now i can not move my parts anymore because this menu comes everytime
ReplyDeleteI can't say why the assembly tool comes up every time. Somewhere it seems a setting got changed. I'm running a default configuration and I can't find a way to make mine do it.
DeleteYou might check the customize settings (Tools>Customize) and try resetting the defaults. Another thought might be toggling off/on you marking menus and/or turning to the classic right click settings.
