Chain asset in and out corner

I havemade  a chain asset  from a wooden bar topped by a vertical angle.
Now I draw a rectangle contour with on one  corner point inwards.
Now I want the angle  is always on the inside of the contour.
But in the inwardly drawn angle  the angle is on the outside.
Is it possible to make the asset so that it follows the  inner corner and outer corner with the angle inside.

Hi,

 

Could you also attach asset test_3d.dwg then we can be more clear about your issue. I think perhaps redefine the Connectors can resolve the problem.

Hi,

 

I see the issue, unfortunately our asset chain cannot be so smart, if you want inner angle meet your requirement, you can make a new Straight Turn to replace it then create the asset chain, but by this case your outer angle will be wrong...the only workaround now is you can make a new Straight Turn then replace it in Inventor

So i have to make two chain assets corners.

One that go to the left and the other go to the right.

When i place the asset i have to change while i place them.

Yes,at present this is the workround, we will think about make our asset chain more smart to automatically meet such requirement in future releases.

 Hi Jos,

 

I am sorry my comments are removed accidentally. You need to open*.assetchaining file. Basically you can modify the expression as I marked.

I found a lots of files but don't know with one i need to change.

And when i change that file wil it work for every chain asset i make?

I want to upload an image but it is not working.

I see several files, one of them is Chain Conveyor(Chain), would that be the good one.

Hi Jos,

 

Firstly you need to explore the .assetchaining file in the drive by selecting Explore command in the RMB menu on the asset chain asset in  AutoCAD factory asset browser.

Then you will be finding the .assetchaining file.So you can modify it as I mentioned.

I don't get it work.

I spend hours to get it don, but whatever i do the angle in the  inner corner stays on the outside.

Also when i draw the assets and at the end i give close, the corner dusn't close.

I have to draw through the corner and close on a straight line.

I shared the assets, Hoekrand and Randafwerking in the warehouse.

I hope you can help me out.Smiley FrustratedHeart

I still have problem with the chain asset.

I installed the hotfix but that dusn't change.

When i first draw a polyline with in and out corners and place the chain asset by click the polyline and sync with acad its all mixed up, it dusn't follow the polyline.

And when i place the chain asset by following a contour its all mixed up by the in and out corner.

I hope autodesk will fix it.

Hi Xuesong, I can change the .assetchaining file. But when I use the asset (Synchronise Inventor), the .assetchaining file is automatically updated from the cloud and replaces changes. How to block this update? Thanks
