Deriving a part messes up his Origin

I'm experiencing this weird problem since Inventor 2013. 

 

Basically: When I open a new document and derive a model; If I create a new sketch on the derived part: the origin Axis are messed up.

 

Like in the picture

The Strange thing is that I modeled the original part around the origin and when I go to check the axis on it:  They are fine

I'm experiencing this Issue since Inventor 2013.

 

In 2012: everything works fine.

 

Note:  The axis messes up only if I have a polyline shaped solid.   If it is a simple solid, like: circle, square, triangle  then It won't mess up the axis on the derived part.

 

Anyone know why ?

Attach your new part file here along with the model you used to derive.

 

Edit: Also are you up to date on Inventor 2013 service packs?

If you create a new sketch on a feature, inventor will set the sketch origin based on the feature. This may not be the same as the part origin.

I think you are right

 

At the same time I found out that is not a deriving problem.  Its a sketch problem

 

See the pictures.

 


Apparently the Axis of the part are still in their original position.

 

What the problem is: The sketch Axis can't find the original one to project from

 

If you look at the picture: I'm also trying to manually adjust the sketch origin in order to get the Axis projected right but inventor won't let me position it in the center.

 

I can only position the UCS on the points that surround the other features.

 

 

This is quite annoying as the axis are there and I should be able to position the UCS either on the center point or on the Z Axis .

 

In the second picture: I had to create a dummy extrusion in order to be able to access again the original center point.

Resurrecting this topic

 

I've done some progress and discovered that inventor messes up only the parts with a hole corresponding to the origin

 

Like this one

It places the origin at the first available point

 

If I try to reposition the UCS at the center; It doesn't let me do it.   I can place it only at the border or on any other point where the solid is present.

 

This still happens with Inventor 2017 

 

Do you know why ?

Whenever possible and practical - use the Origin Planes as your sketch plane rather than a part face.
