New belt to Inventor

Anonymous

hello,

 

I would like to ask how to add a new belt to Inventor.

I need to add a new belt according to my parameters.

I tried in the folder  (C: \ Users \ Public \ Documents \ Autodesk \ Inventor 2020 \ Design Data \ Design Accelerator \ Tables \ SBelts \ Belts )  copy the existing file, just rename it and return it, and I always got an error even though I just renamed it. More in the photos.

 

The mistake is Incompatible template format. The event has been canceled.

Thank you for your help.

M.S

Please check Synchronous-Belts-Customization.pdf.

It describes all steps needed for adding a new belt.

I added HTD belts to the design accelerator myself.

You need to add an extra information about the new belt and pulleys to these files: SBelts.xml, SBeltsMap.xml.

Also add extra xml and jpg files (belt info and icon) to the "Belts" folder.

Add extra xml files (pulleys info) to the "Pulleys" folder.

To make it easier for you I've attached my "Sbelts" folder.

Look up for "HTD" files. Also see what I changed in SBelts.xml, SBeltsMap.xml (look for "HTD" containing rows)

Hope it helps!)
