perforated sheet

[Anonymous]

I want to show a portion of a sheet metal part with perforations. Adding
hundreds of holes to a part in the model doesn't work, overloads inventor.
I tried to hatch a sketched region in the idw, but I didn't see a hatch
style that looks like holes. Any Ideas are much appreciated.

If you want it in the part file: How about creating a texture of the hole,
creating a face where you want the perf. using split tool, then slapping the
texture on using face color?

could you apply a texture that looks like holes?


www.cbliss.com has a texture page and links to other texture sites.


not sure if you will find anything but it's worth a try.


easiest way I can think of.

Can you get the texture to print on the flat
pattern view of the.idw?

it becomes part of the IPT so it should print just fine.

Not if it's not a shaded view.... 😞
Workaround: Sketch the holes.

Thanks Dave,


I haven't used any textures yet so I didn't know that.


I'll have to remember that.

FYI, There is a texture in 7 called Screen_5 that
looks like holes.
