Stepless ear clamp library or help drawing

[ihorlys]

1) is there a library or a parametric part?

2) Grabcad has a parametric part in nx format, but loading it into Inventor results in loss of all "parametricness" and so its useless since it is only a single size.

3) How to draw one seems daunting to get it to work right...  thoughts?

Hello, thanks for posting!

It may help the experts here if you attached a picture of what you are trying to create, as not everyone will know what this clamp looks like.  Do you have a catalog with information on various sizes which could be used to create an ipart?

Also what version of Inventor are you using to model this?  Thanks!
