Frame Generator piping skeleton freezes inventor

[mattKKSX3]

@johnsonshiue

created the sketch of the skeleton, placed it in the assembly, and am trying to put 3-inch standard stainless steel piping on each member that is not a dotted line. when i do this it turns Inventor into a zombie. There is no indication that the program froze other than you cant do anything; does not even go to not responding. Long story short, i nuked all my Autodesk stuff thinking it was a program problem, turns out that after reinstalling everything and reproducing the files, I have the same thing happen again. This also occurs on another computer which i believe is running 2024, but either way, can't attach the pipe to the skeleton frame.  I Attached the files if someone can tell me why this is happening?

This is a 2025 component, not 2024 😀

Something like so?  Are you using a company specific custom content center family, or are you trying to use the default out of the box stuff?

[mattKKSX3]

yes, it is a 2025 part and sketch. i have 2025 but my co-worker has 24, i believe. I was able to cross-test on his and ended up with the same result. what you have in the screenshot is basically what I am trying to do, along with the miter joints and whatnot. I can assign the pipe and orient it to the lines with no problem, but when i hit ok on the dialogue box, that when the whole program seizes up; does not even go to NOT RESPONDING. I am using out of the box content center to add the pipe to the sketch.

All up-to date with software? I have 2025 on another machine and just did updates to it earlier in the week. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I am using all out of the box stuff on it with no problem.

[mattKKSX3]

yes, updated to the newest version yesterday. i tried this morning to connect one pipe to the oddball line all by its own, and hit ok. got the same result.

Seems like a similar issue here:

The program Inventor.exe version 29.10.24100.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

looks like the driver for the NVidia RTX 2070 does need updating, doing that now. Stella find on that article, looks to be the same exact issue down to the details. Current driver is 551.68 and trying to install the new one give me an undefined error

instead of using a sketch to drive the skel. have you tried the same thing with a surface or regular geometry? (that is using edges and faces)?

[johnsonshiue]

Hi Matt,

I cannot reproduce the behavior. One thing to check is where the frame member files are saved on disc. The member file carries unique ID so the ipt file name can be long. It depends on how you structure the file folders, the total length of the file path including file name can exceed 256 characters. Please shorten the file path.

Many thanks!
