create blocks in 2d drawings

[Paolo82]

Good morning.
other lack of this software: I tried in every way to create blocks in the sketch in a 2d design (put at the table) but nothing to do. This is one of the many inventor gaps. I would be very useful to have the possibility to create blocks but the "crea block" command is not available in 2d drawings, only in .part file sketches.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

I've never tried, but if it can be useful, try importing autocad blocks:

perhaps there is a tool that can be useful to you, is that of drawing symbols. (I am not sure of the name, I no longer use inventor).
depends on what you want to do.

Exactly, what do you do with an autocad block in inventor?
If you need it, there is one way, but it depends on the use you want to do.
Certainly the table of inventor is not flexible and pacioccabile like that of autocad, they are two things conceptually different.
symbols are not usable, you cannot insert part of the inventor design into the symbol.
you can put anything imported from autocad instead.

I have a lock composed of cover plus a rather complex attached mechanism, I have to place it compared to a body looking for the best position. to try various positions I can not every time move all the design with the command moves (which besides works badly in inventor, other flaw), if I could create a single block then place it with the odds or with the constraints.

i inventor 2019 and that command doesn't make it available to me in .idw file

then place it with quotas or constraints.

a view of inventor, as you have seen, cannot be bound to the other if not horizontally or vertically.
It's a big limitation, I'd like to be able to do it, too, to give order to the masses at the table, but you can't.
as I always say: maybe between 2,3, 10 rel. They won't.
However, to do what you described, autocad is still usable, not at all that the layouts, while developing them, do them with autocad and not with inventor.
Do you not have these limitations with other programs?

a solution could be to create a part composed only of a sketch, where in the latter you copy/paste from the cad of what you need.
later in the idw the part making the sketch visible.

I usually do so when I load references or studies from the cad.
in the sketch you can place (or then move) the copied part in the origin or at a well determined point and together, if you need it you manage some part by binding it as you prefer.

for example these trolleys are handled in this way:as you see are only copied/paste

While all the limitations described above would be to be overcome when I am in such a situation I insert the dwg into the sketch of a .ipt file (as a block almost always) and then the move/place it in the environment together; in the table idw I can still recall the sketch.

I've been beaten! (Monday humor)

 

[il_Batto]

Yeah!
I came first in something in my life!
? ? ? ? ?

 

[Paolo82]

Okay, it's a chance, but rather uncomfortable. little practice, at this point it is better to use the command 'spost' and arm yourself with patience.
Thank you

 

[il_Batto]

Why not practice?
if you import from the cad also the reference points of the positions you can use them to create axes or plans.

You have everything at that point....
