Frame Generator now names the frames properly! HALLY-FRICKIN-LOOYAH!

To be fair, this is class, but you do indeed need Inventor 2019 update 2. File names for the frames in Frame Generator has always been a deal breaker for using it with something like Autodesk Vault, but now it's 100% Vault friendly!

Thanks, Neil. We did a few nice additions to Frame Generator based on customer request with the 2019.2 update. Another thing to check out is that you can now change a frame member without creating an 'orphaned' member. i.e., if you change from rectangular to square tube and we now edit the existing member instead of creating a net new one and leaving the original orphaned as Inventor did previously.

I just started using Inventor for my Introduction to Engineering course in school. I came across your channel and am in love. Videos like these are out of my league right now but you have so many videos that have taught me how to use this program. I really appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.

Awesome, Pretty sure this was one of the first features requested in Idea station back in the land before time.

This allows me to streamline my department completely at work, what a game changer !! Great video, as always. Thank you !

YESSSS!!! Now to sort out that design data folder and get rid of the duplicate files.

Have I been waiting for this!! Yes, you bet. Great, Fantastic!

I really like the new naming function. The issue that we have at my company is that every single member of the frame is it's out part. For example, the four vertical legs in your frame are the exact same thing, but yet Inventor still calls them out separate.

I have a question about this new naming functionnality in frame. We have a Vault Pro 2019 which already impose a naming scheme for all inventor parts, including also frame parts. But since the update 2019.2 in Inventor, the Vault naming scheme doesn’t exist anymore for frame parts. Is it normal that now the Inventor naming scheme replace the Vault naming scheme for frame parts ?

You created a frame weldment inside the frame assembly. That is why you want the frame generator to be normal or purchased.
I created a frame weldment then bring the frame weldment in next level for frame assembly.

Hi Neil, thanks for the video. Can also do a video on "assembly configuration in inventor" its so difficult for me after moving from solidworks. like if i want few components to be visible and others not. And also be able to document in drawings and chek-in inside vault. Thanks a lot for videos.

good tip frame generator naming was a hassle without using vault

[manojchand]

An awsome feature, finally, thanks for the video

[stevenguyen]

Finally, Autodesk adds this feature to Inventor 2019 but I found this add-on for $5 buck and it works the same. well, now I save $5 dollar. good job Autodesk. LOL

Please I have question
How can I change axis for cylinder

[jesscneal]

I just installed 2019.3 today and went to look for this and it wasn't there. I guess I need to install .2 as well. Pretty awesome though. Frame Gen files were a mess before

[anttikinnunen]

Why are you so worried of duplicate filenames on vault?

[dimitary]

A sheet-cut hopper? Welded to a standard flange? With frames? What the heck is that part :o it has no exit holes.

My coworkers will think they see heaven

The frame generator is so lacking in so many ways. A very powerful feature shot to the foot by some idiotic limitations and clunky use... I really hope it would get the love it requires in the future.
