Customer Request Line is Open

What do you think of the new look? Nice job Mr. Repp.

We mentioned a couple of months ago that one of the key goals of Ellipsis is to open up the request lines and explore some of your everyday design challenges that Inventor can address, and ultimately allow you to focus on design and engineering instead of using Inventor just as a geometry creation tool.

This entry is exactly that. I had a customer ask how to create a castellated beam. They were aware of the Content Center and the ability to bring in a W beam, and then make edits to it, but they knew there had to be an easier way. Let’s take it a step further and associate the number of cut outs with the length of the beam if it adjusts in length, and one more – make this available in Frame Generator.

Here is a short video that walks you through creating a custom library, associating the number of features based upon the length of a part, and redefining an entire family of components. There are a few other useful tidbits in there as well so grab a coffee, a doughnut, and your headphones, I think you’ll like this one.
