All Over Symbol - Best way to implement?

Brandon_Mooney — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 19:47:40 GMT

Good afternoon folks,

Does anyone know how to implement an All Over symbol in Inventor? It appears to be missing from the normal GD&T frame insert options. At the moment, my best attempt is to sketch it underneath a GD&T frame, but that's a pretty... poor solution, to say the least.

I am referring to Figure 6-21 of ANSI Y14.5-2018, described in section 6.3.25 "All Over" Symbol.

Thanks!

Sadly Inventor seems to be based on 1994 specs and hasn't updated to new features like the "All over".. They do support "All Around".. Looks like "All Over" was introduced in 2009

I'd probably just create a sketched symbol of a circle and place that when/where needed..

2 points for the SWx guys.. They support it.

Hi Folks,

The All Over symbol is supported in 2023 (see other annotation support in What's New in 2023).

Many thanks!

I'll update next week! Don't I get to look silly for putting off a version update.

Thanks!

Hi Brandon,

You are very welcome! And, you don't look silly at all. There are good reasons to wait. We do have regression defects interrupting some workflows. We try our best addressing them in a timely manner. After you install 2023, please install 2023.1 update. If you have "Prehighlighting" turned off, the selection in the graphics window will stop working. You will need to either turn "Prehighlighting" back on or unload "Fusion Interop" Add-In for the time being. We are working on a fix for that too.

Many thanks!
