We often get asked how to add information or catalog data into AutoCAD Electrical. There are two different ways I go about adding this data. In today’s post I look at one way of adding the data via AutoCAD Electrical last week I showed doing this with Microsoft Access. On this topic also we recently hosted an AutoCAD Electrical User Group covering this option and more working with Electrical databases make sure to check that out I have the link listed below.

Many times when working with large assemblies, a large part of the design is comprised of purchased parts. In many cases these are downloaded or imported from other sources. If these components are more detailed than what is required in the assembly, the performance of your 3D software will suffer.
Inventor Fusion is a great way to import 3D models from a variety of sources, and thereby simplify the models for more efficient widespread use in large assemblies. Check out this video HERE for an example of this in action.

One of the easiest approaches to locating files in Vault is to use the expanded query builder. This allows you to incrementally add commonly used search terms as needed in order to find just what you are looking for. You can customize your Vault interface by adding or removing the displayed fields as needed.
Take a look at an example video HERE.

Use the Copy command on the Sketch tab to copy selected geometry and place one or more instances in the sketch. The Copy command also copies to the Autodesk Inventor clipboard so that you can paste into a sketch later.
You can copy and paste features within a part file or between open part files using the Windows Clipboard. You can paste only in the part modeling environment. Copying and pasting is like creating and placing an iFeature with these differences:
•By default, dependent features are not copied. Only features that are explicitly selected are copied. •The paste command allows dependent features to be copied as well. •Autodesk Inventor uses unresolved plane references to position the features. •Newly copied features are fully independent, unlike iFeatures. •If pattern features are copied and pasted, then the parent feature is also pasted.

Let’s Take a Look!!!
