ilogic code or any ideas on how to check if part will fit in a circle

[Anonymous]

Hi, I need help to see if there is any way for inventor or ilogic to check to see if anything such as lines or a projected part is intersecting/touching anywhere inside a circle. I have a part and sketch with a circle and im trying to find a way for it to tell me if that part will fit inside that circle whatever the parameter may be.

Can you share the files you have?

How many times will you need to perform this action? Daily/weekly/once?

Hi lle5956,

Nevermind, I just realized you said part and sketch, rather than assembly and part.

Rather than a circle would a sphere work?

Create a selection set offset from the current selection by a sphere

1. On the Quick Access toolbar, click SelectSphere Offset.
2. If not preselected, in the Select by Sphere dialog box, select a component.

   Selections are contained in a virtual sphere. The outermost extremities of the selected component determine its radius.

3. The offset radius displays. You can click the sphere edge, and drag to resize. Select the check box to include components partially contained in the sphere, and then click the green arrow.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Due to confidentially, I can only share part of the part.. I need to see if there's a code or a way to check to see if the sketch and the part included will fit inside the circle.  I need an error message to pop up if it doesnt fit or if the part or sketch intersect pass the circle.

Details?

Does the sketch change shape or just the dimensional stuff.

Is the sketch constrained to a certain point or is it free floating.

Keep in mind you may understand your design intent and requirements but when I look at that image you provided it still doesn't clarify what your end goal is because you have only given us little details.

Depending on your answer there may be a way to do and maybe not.

Show as many examples of what you're looking for..

Opps I am sorry for not being clear enough, but most of the shape should be the same, the only thing that changes are the dimensions on the rectangle and the circle. But the part and the Sketch dimension will change, so i am trying to find a way or a code detects if some of the sketch or some of the part falls outside that circle.

Hi lle5956,

Maybe something like the attached 2015 file for an iLogic solution. Or look into AutoLimits for a built in solution ( I think. It's been a long time since I looked at Autolimits).

I hope this helps.
