Within the Machining feature of a Weldment, it would be nice if I was able to add multiple Participants at once using Ctrl key rather than having to continuously right-click the feature and add each member in one at a time.
Select parts to be Participates during initial Assembly Feature creation.
When you create an assembly level feature, the default behavior is to cut every part that the cut feature would touch. The first problem is that this takes a long time to process when there are a lot of parts. Secondly, the user must go back to the feature and hunt and peck through the participants list to remove what the user didn't want in the first place.
Not true. when you do this isolate the parts you want to have in your feature then suppress the parts that are grayed out in the browser then add your feature then unsuppress and remove isolate.
In this application, which is a frequent task in our department, we are making revisions to existing weldments. Whether it be a design change or a new copy design version of the equipment. Often times I don't need to add a new hole feature just need to edit an existing sketch and add points for my new holes. When dealing with the high volume of models/drawings we work through daily, this quickly becomes a tedious task.
I believe a simple solution to the task could be similar to using the Tweak Components command in an .ipn . Hold the Ctrl key while selecting each part/member as well as deselecting them.
I'd like to point out that currently the opposite is already possible: You can REMOVE any number of participants at once without having to click remove each time. To do that, under then feature in question you select all the pieces you want want removed, right click, and select remove participant.
Obviously the parts that are not participants aren't there and can't be right clicked to add participant, but maybe it could be changed so that right clicking a feature and clicking "Add Participant" would add your most recent selection group.
A solution for this Idea is now available for test in the Inventor Feedback/Beta Community. If you would like to try it then you can apply for access using http://Autode.sk/InventorBeta.
This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2024.1. Please review the Inventor 2024.1 What's New article here. For more information regarding how you may leverage the feature, and please review this page. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.
