Shaft component generator

Hi all,

 

I am using Inventor Professional 2020. I have just realized that I can not delete or change  the type of the features between shaft sections.  I designed a shaft with DIN reliefs and pressed OK to put it into the assembly. In the design tree RMB click on the Shaft:1 part -> Edit using Design Accelerator, choosing the relief feature and changing it to no feature has no effect in the modell. 

How can I modify shaft reliefs posterior?

Cheers, 
Lajos

I have no issue removing a DIN relief from a shaft generator component.  Take a look at the Screencast (no sound) to prove it.  I suggest you create a Pack and Go (without templates and styles), zip the results and attach it to your question so others can troubleshoot for you.

You have an odd one here, the relief, which normally shows up in the Shaft Generator dialog, is missing.  If you open up the part, by itself, you can clearly see the DIN relief and also note that it has a lock icon beside it.  This indicates that it was created by the design generator.

I think you have just stumbled upon a one off error.  I think normally you will be able to Edit using the Shaft Generator these features as you can see from my first Screencast.  If you go into the part, right click on it in the browser and delete it, then return to the assembly you can add it back and, at least on my system, you can then edit it as you desire.

Hello Szabo,

 

you are right, when I open your shaft I see on it DIN relief while in Shaft Generator I see No Feature. As suggested above, open shaft IPT, delete DIN relief and save shaft IPT. Than modify shaft within your assembly by Shaft Generator as usual.
