Problem with Inventor 2019, Make Component

[Anonymous]

We are using Inventor for a few years. The tool "Make Component" is very usefull to us. We design a multibody part, and with the command "Make Component" we create all the parts in a specific template. Every solid becomes a part. In every part there is just one solid. I did the same procedure in Inventor 2019 but now in every part there are all the solids again, this must be a program failure, or am i missing something? In 2018 we mirrored several solids in the part with different sheetmetal rules, through "Make Component" the sheetmetal rule could not be transferred for every solid, every part got the sheetmetal rule of the first mirrored solid. Fortunately this is solved in 2019, that's good.

I hope there is a solution for the Inventor 2019 "Make Component" tool.

Thanks in advance.

I am not seeing the behavior that you describe.

Can you post example files that exhibit this behavior?

Hello,

I am not seeing it either, could you help upload a multi-body part sample here or a shot video for more details?

Thanks!

Hello again,

Attached there is a word doc where you can see the procedure and outcome.

Every part is derived and shows every Solid, because they are all selected (edit derived part).

In previous versions of Inventor there was just the correct solid selected, one part, one solid.

Hello, No luck to reproduce it in my end. Just one more try, could you retry with standard sheetmetal template for the workflow? Thanks!

Hi! It looks like you are using custom template as the base for the derive parts. Could you share the files you showed in the Word doc? I suspect it is related to the template you use.

Many thanks!

Hello, i have just tried the same procedure with a standard template, it gives the same wrong result.

The templates we use are made from standard templates, so it would be strange that it would give a different outcome.

Can it be a windows register issue? For example, the default setting for the option “Use color override from source component” in the Derive Part dialog is also changeable by register setting.

In earlier versions of Inventor 2018, 2017, 2014 we used custom templates, it worked perfectly.

There must be something wrong in a Inventor setting or windows setting, installation issue, program failure.

I will install Inventor 2019 on a different computer tomorrow and see if i get a different result.

Hi,

In this case, it's real hard to direct to the root cause without data, could you help Pack and Go with all design data and template with the multi-body part together and send to us for more investigation?

You can reach me via email [email protected].

Thanks!

Hi Macro,

The data was well-received, thanks for sharing.

Do you remember how you’ve created it from scratch? It seems that not able to produce the same in my end when create a file from scratch. Anyway, yes, this is a defect and the reason is a bit unclear for me, ticket INVGEN-14520 was filed to track it down.

Thanks!

Hello this is in reply to ticket INVGEN-14520 regarding the Make Component in 2019.  I too have had this issue and tried to reply on the board but for some reason can only reply via private message?  Anyway I believe the issue relies in the view representation settings?  If I try and make components within another view representation selected, it will create a single part with all those parts visible in that active representation.  But if i make components while in the master representation view then all solid bodies(parts) come in as separate parts.  I am running Windows 7.  Not sure if that makes a difference but thought i would share.  

Thank you for you time and I hope this helps others.  If you have any further questions feel free to email me:)

Hi Xun,

As written in the last post by Tina, the problem lies in the view representation.

The behaviour of the make component tool is as normal if you run it in the master presentation.

If you use the default or any other new custom presentation then the tool put's in all bodies in every part.

This is a program failure, i hope it can be solved.

We make presentations of a collection of bodies for every type of material, like plate, tube, bars etc and put the bodies in specific templates.

I don't really understand why this works, but it works.

Thank you.

Hello Marco de Kort,

Thank you so much to narrow down the reason which is great help for further investigation.

Hi Joe,

The most recent accumulative update (2019.1) would possibly include the fix as I can predict, but not pretty sure.

Please active master view before make component as a bypass until the fix delivered.

Thanks!

I have inventor pro but the latest update shows for autocad. Is it combined in with this? (picture below)

[johnsonshiue]

Hi! No, AutoCAD and Inventor are two different products. The updates are not mutually inclusive. You have to install updates for each product respectively.

Many thanks!

Yeah I know that a comment just generally stated an update , i have all the latest Inventor updates so I’ll just have to be patient for the fix
