Problem in file create issue in drawing

Hye

I think this is a basic question but I don't know what went wrong in the creation of this file.

The problem is when I try to create a detail view.

 

1-The part seems OK

2-I can create a drawing with a top view

3-Error message when I want to create a detail view

 

Any idea will be appreciate

 

Thanks

Have you done similar work in the past?

My first thought is you might be hitting a bounding box limit.

 

I notice that your Sketch3 is missing Horizontal constraints.

 

I might eliminate Sketch3 and WorkPlane2 and instead Extrude Sketch1 6.3" as surface bodies and then Thicken 98" rather than Sweeps.

I don't think that I have modeled trackwork or trains longer than about 2000 feet.

 

Based on this old thread:

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-discussion/limits-of-an-inventor-part-or-assembly/td-...

 

you may be at a limit of the software.  That thread reports issues with detail views, section views and other children of base views when the part/assembly gets longer than 1000 meters or about 3280 feet.  Your part is is around 4328 feet.  I shortened your part to about 3137 feet and got rid of the error message.

 

You might try to model this layout as a series of curves and tangent track.  You might be able to create design view reps of areas of interest and use base views of those view reps to act as "detail" views in your idw.

 

Would exporting the base views into AutoCAD and using all the old drafting tricks there allow you to create the print you need?

Change the model units by 10^-3, as long as you are aware of it and all the exports you'll be doing will be scaled.
