Changing the length of a product in 3d-modell

[muntadar.daebes]

Hey,

I use Autodesk Inventor professional 2019 so I wonder if there is a way to be able to change the length of a product in 3d-model eg. by mabye pull it, instead of going into the sketch to do it.

For example, I want to change the length of a rod from 100-300 mm in 3d model. How i do that?

Best regards,

May I ask why you dont want to do it in the model?

@muntadar.daebes  See "Direct" button in the modify section of the 3d model tab.. That allows the functionality you want..

@muntadar.daebes  is this an imported part from another software that has no editable features?

Windows 10 x64 -16GB Ram

Hi! Yes, like experts mentioned here, you can use Direct Edit command to drag the faces to lengthen it. If you are a subscriber, you can download and install Feature Recognition tool from Autodesk Inventor App store (https://apps.autodesk.com/PDSU/en/Detail/Index?id=9172877436288348979&appLang=en&os=Win32_64).

You can convert some geometry into parametrically driven features like Extrude, Revolve, and Sweep. Then you can change the parameters.

Many thanks!
