Re: Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

Thanks again! I would have got back on here sooner, but had to work on the garden over the weekend. I actually posted on here and on the Inventor forums. This posting was far more successful.

Re: Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

rebekah, thanks for the tip.... I found this one out a while ago, but am sure it causes problems to a lot of new people to S3D. pcman. Your STLs work perfectly. I do know beyond the alignment issue, I have a sizing issue I just remembered when I imported your files into S3D. I have to scale all of m...

Re: Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

That last post wasn't mine, I still use 2015. And I did try another ipt file and tried to use the Separate option in S3D with no luck at all. So, I am not sure why that method worked on one file and not the other. I attached the ipt file of the car. I have successfully done this in the past with par...

Re: Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

Genius is a better word :) It doesn't work perfectly to do the "Separate Connected Surfaces" function, but it will work til I figure out how to export them from Inventor in the correct way. I attached a photo. It actually splits all parts of the separate bodies off, so each individual lett...

Re: Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

Thanks for the ideas guys. I haven't checked this forum until now, I thought I would receive an email notice when a reply came through. I know the alignment option doesn't work. When you export the separate bodies from Inventor, they lose the global coords and only have local ones. I will try the se...

Autodesk Inventor 2015 Dual Extrusion Alignment

I have read various bits and pieces on how to make Inventor STLs align properly within Simplify3D. None of them seem to have a direct solution that I can reproduce. When 2 solid bodies are created in an Inventor part file and then exported separately to STL files, the seem to lose their coordinates ...
