Insert /place part on import dwg overlay.

[jostroopers]

I want a Inventor part automatically placed in an assy placed on .dwg overlays.

I will explain the work flow that I want to walk.

I make a rectangle in Autocad and dimensioned parameters "Width" and "Length".

This part I save as paneel.dwg.

I open in Inventor 2016 an .ipt and place with the Import tool the Autocad Paneel.dwg.

I start a new sketch and get the geometry with Project DWG Geometry.

I place a extrude and save it as part Paneel.ipt.

The Autocad rectangle is now leading and determined the Width and Length.

I open a new AutoCAD and place an structural building dwg as xref.

Now I place the AutoCAD Paneel.dwg as xref.

I save this drawing as Onderlegger.dwg.

I open a new part in Inventor and place with Import the Onderlegger.dwg.

I make a new sketch and take the geometry of the panels on with Project DWG Geometry.

I save the file as Onderlegger.ipt. I open a new .iam. I place the Onderlegger.ipt.

The Paneel geometry is now selectable in the .iam.

It is now possible to automatically place the paneel.ipt on the paneel geometry using iLogic or DotNet?

And is it possible, even if I have several different models?

Hi  Mvg Jos,

 Frankly, I am struggling to understand your requirement. I am trying to answer the first question:

               >>It is now possible to automatically place the paneel.ipt on the paneel geometry using iLogic or DtNet?

Can I understand you want to place paneel.ipt to mate one face with the face of paneel geometry? By API, you can constrain faces in the assembly. The below is our training labs.

Module 6 introduces the basic usage of constraint in slide 25,26,27 of Assembly Document - Essentials.pptx.  Of course, these lines can be merged to iLogic.

I am sorry if I misunderstood. Then, could you elaborate the requirement further?
