Summary:
This directory
contains the main Inventor assembly which contains examples of new
functionality in 2D Sketch, Sheet Metal, Cable & Harness and Alias .dwg
import.
- Set the active project to Samples.ipj.
Sketch:
- New Sketch Formatting capabilities are shown on Motherboard PCB.ipt.
o
Sketch 36 under Extrusion 35 demonstrates the use of different colors to
represent different types of components.
Sheet Metal:
- New punch tool capabilities are shown on
Back Bracket.ipt.
o Specific punch tools utilize alternate
representation sketches and embedded manufacturing information
o Sheet 2 of the associated drawing file (Back
Bracket.idw) shows punch documentation enhancements
-
New
multi-edge flange capabilities are shown in Graphic Card Cover.ipt.
o Interior and exterior contours are selected
and controlled within a single flange feature.
o Automatic corner and mitering is controlled
within single flange feature.
Cable &
Harness:
- If you installed into a location other than
the default, it will be necessary to
edit the harness sub-assemblies and reference
the new location of the Cable & Harness Library. To do this,
in-place activate each of the harness sub-assemblies and re-point the Library
file to <Install Area>\Design Data\Cable&Harness\Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl.
- Personal Computer contains six harness
sub-assemblies: Power Supply Harness, Cooling Fan Harness, Processor Fan
Harness, Front Panel Harness, HD Ribbon Cable Harness and CD Ribbon Cable
Harness.
- The Power Supply Harness Assembly
o
All of
the Electrical Parts exist inside of the harness assembly
o
Virtual
Parts have been assigned to the connector pins and segments
o
The
segments and wires have been swept using surfaces
o
The
wires are created using natural curvature
o
Power
Supply Harness.idw is the nailboard drawing associated with this harness
assembly
- The Cooling Fan Harness Assembly
o
The
connector exist inside of the harness assembly and the fan outside the harness
assembly
o
The
segments and wires have been swept using surfaces
o
The
wires are created using natural curvature
- The Processor Fan Harness Assembly
o
The
connector exist inside of the harness assembly and the fan outside the harness
assembly
o
The
segments and wires have been swept using surfaces
o
The
wires are created using natural curvature
- The Front Panel Harness Assembly
o
The
connector exist inside of the harness assembly and the front panel outside the
harness assembly
o
The
segments and wires have been swept using surfaces
o
The
wires are created using natural curvature
- The HD Ribbon Cable Harness Assembly
o
Uses the ribbon cable
functionality
o
All of
the Electrical Parts exist inside of the harness assembly
o
Ribbon
cables automatically use natural curvature
o
A
double fold has been place on the ribbon cable
o
This
ribbon able demonstrates how to mock up a basic ribbon cable with an
intermediate connector
- The CD Ribbon Cable Assembly
o
Uses the ribbon cable
functionality
o
All of
the Electrical Parts exist inside of the harness assembly
o
Ribbon
cables automatically use natural curvature
o
Two
single folds have been place on the ribbon cable
o
This
ribbon able demonstrates how to mock up a basic ribbon cable with an
intermediate connector
o
CD
Ribbon Cable.idw is the nailboard drawing associated with this ribbon cable
harness assembly
Alias .dwg Import
- The second iAssembly member of this sample
dataset is an import from an Alias file saved as a .dwg.
