Activation Inventor 2017 Crack

Hi! I am not sure if we have studied the impact of RAM frequency on Inventor performance. I would assume the faster the better. But, the exact correlation is unclear. Your hardware is very impressive. Unless you are working on assemblies with 100K components or complex parts, you should not encounter any performance issue (if there is, it could be a bug and we need to look into it).
Hi! I personally would discourage you overclock your CPU. Inventor as an application is partially multi-threaded (graphics, feature compute, import/export, constraint solve, and so on). If you overclock your CPU, you may interfere with the multi-threaded operations and you may encounter instability. I am not sure how much performance gain you will get by doing so.
Please note that Inventor is a CAD software, not a game software. It does not directly interact with hardware. For the most part, Windows dictates how Inventor uses hardware resource. Faster CPU and more RAM certainly help but the application performance is not necessarily directly correlated with the hardware.
I wonder if underclocking your ram and running the Inventor benchmark would be a reasonable test? I have never under/over clocked ram so am not sure if it would be a reasonable experiment or not.
Hi, @Anonymous 2400MHz is considered slow compared to RAM available today which is available at 3600+MHz and even 3000MHz doesn't have much of a price premium compared to 2400MHz. I run my RAM at 2400MHz as I'm on a 7800x which only supports 2400MHz and my PC handles Inventor fine on reasonable large assemblies.
Thank you very much @leowarren34 for your reply. I did some testing on my personal PC to see how much does RAM speed actually effects Inventor and it does. Then I saw this post. I posted my potential build and also the outcomes of the test I just did, and also I shared our engineer's expectations from this build and my budget. I would be really grateful if you could check my post there too.
Without flogging a dead horse the results are either within a margin of error or anomalous - RAM speed can a make a difference but the difference is super subtle unless you're transferring files back and forth between the RAM and storage to which storage becomes the next bottleneck.
Last year I did a study to see if RAM frequency affects inventor performance using Inventor Bench, and the answer is yes - but the effect is minimal. Fortunately I saved my screenshots . . . see below.
The ram provided with our machines came with built in XMP profiles, but did not come enabled. Stock frequency: 2133 MHz, XMP profile: 2800 MHz. So I enabled them just to see if it made a difference. Just to add my 2 cents to @dgorsman I definitely agree with about being smart with managing your data. (just ask about our 200,000 part assembly . . . The work I put into optimizing it was well worth the time it has saved since.)
@johnsonshiue, I just want to let you know that this does not seem to be an isolated file corruption issue. I have the exact same problem as @william (sketch blocks that cannot be deleted and ghost sketches that remain in the file after being deleted). This appears to be a bug related to the use of sketch blocks. If I copy one of the blocks from the original file to a new empty file, the ghost sketches appear in the new file, and the block that I just added cannot be deleted.
If you're able to investigate this bug, that would be extremely helpful; in this case, I have a very large multibody part that will take me days to rebuild, and I have no reason to believe the problem won't happen again if I continue to use blocks.
Absolutely, this is a bug. Any unusual or unreasonable behavior is a bug. But, what can be done with the bug depends on the severity and if the reproducible steps exist. Were you able to reproduce the behavior?
If it would help, I can post the affected file. I don't think it will be possible for me to replicate the exact steps that caused the problem. A new file with new blocks works fine; the problem didn't occur until I had been working with the file for weeks, and there's no way for me to know exactly when it started. However, the problem is reproduced in an empty part file if you copy one of the "undeletable" blocks into the file, which presumably means that the problem is related to the data of that particular block object. Hopefully you can learn something about the cause (or at least the mechanism) of the problem by looking at the data for the blocks in the part file?
As far as severity of the problem is concerned, I can't speak for other customers, but it's very severe for me. I use sketch blocks extensively for top-down design, and it's a big problem if a file that represents weeks or months of work can be corrupted for no apparent reason, forcing me to remodel it from scratch.
I suspect this is a corruption case. There was another customer reporting the same thing. He mentioned that he used multi-solid body workflows extensively. So far we are not yet able to reproduce the corruption besides the already corrupted cases.
Many thanks for sharing the rule! I will mark it as a solution for now. However, it does not solve the underlying corruption. If you know how to reproduce it from scratch, please let me know asap. I would like to understand the workflow leading to this corruption case.
The Sketch Block folder contains the Sketch Block definitions. If there are instances of the Sketch Block in any sketch, the definition cannot be deleted. Is this what you are talking about? If not, please share an example here. I would like to take a closer look.
This is pretty straight forward. Just go to the browser and enable iLogic browser -> right-click on it -> New Rule. Or, go to Manage -> iLogic -> Add Rule. After that, just copy and paste the rule here. Run the rule.
BTW, iLogic isn't just for the 2%. It is quite popular right now. It may seem overwhelming at the beginning but you will find it very easy to use. Certainly, if you want to do advanced level automation, it will require good programming skills and good understanding of Inventor API.
Thank you; This is more than I knew. I hear it's popular, but still very few people know how to use it. (I've worked with about 40 inventor users, none of them knew how to use it, so 0:40 tells me less than 2% can; this is how I come up with my estimate)
Hi! I thought my instruction was pretty clear. Anyway, here is a basic iLogic tutorial. I am not an iLogic expert either. But, I learn by using it. Please take a look. Please also help inform the 40 Inventor users about the tutorial. Hopefully, it will help them start using iLogic quickly.
Your instruction was precise and it worked as far as I can tell; Thank you. I asked for tutorial because I would like to learn how to create my own iLogic routine (I have a specific need); I do have a fear that it'll have a limitation that'll prevent it from doing what I want (after spending time learning it). I need a program that'll automatically pull parameters from an iFeature in the .idw environment (I use iFeatures a lot). I would like to do it within the leader command or something similar. The current process is very tedious when I have to detail 50+ iFeatures (3+ parameters each).
Hi! If you want to retrieve iFeature dimensions in the drawing, you may simply enable "Retrieve Model Dimensions on view placement" option in Tools -> App Options -> Drawing. There is no need to create an iLogic rule for that. Is that what you were looking for?
preferably i want to be able to open the assembly template file, fill in a form and press save and have inventor create the parts, insert them into the assembly and save parts and assembly wherever i save the assembly.
i currently do this with part files and then place these part files into an assembly but i feel like im missing something simple to do it with an assembly template. i fiddled with iLogic to get the parts to save when the assembly would be saved but they ended up going to the templates folder. i also couldnt get the forms to show up from the part files when opening the assembly and when trying to make a new form in the assembly it wouldnt let me target the part file parameters.
Can you please give more examples of your industry product type and workflow? Have you predefined all your parts in advance of making your assembly? Are you producing drawings based on the assembly and or parts?.
Can you please give more examples of your industry product type and workflow? i have a template part currently that is mostly predefined but has a form to finalise certain things such as the number of holes in the part or the size of those holes. unfortunately for each assembly these can be different but most of the other parameters remain the same or are defined from the form
Have you predefined all your parts in advance of making your assembly? not exactly. as stated above the parts are standard parts but can vary for example with the number or sizes of holes in them. i am defining the final sizes in the assembly now.
I am glad you are on the right track. The assembly style and control of the parts have many different approaches and can sometimes go into a mind melt as to where to control what. You could do all the hole placement in the top assembly or in the parts etc. I would try and mimic the actually assembly procedure as much as possible this way the containers are set up in the right workflow, drawings etc
