2009 Controls Inventor model?

[merybar]

is there a particular reason that they can not be released now?

Aren't the components for the CRIO already on the NI.com site - they are iges/step formats that you can import.

Can someone post the links please.

OK, i am just about done with the cRio inventor model that i have been working on all day. If anyone needs i can try to email it to them. It has the overall dimensions fairly close, but it lacks very minor details. For inventor puroposes though it is perfectly recognizeable and very close in overall dimensions.

just email me and i can try to get it to you asap through email, or may have it posted somewhere within the next few days.

Email me Please!!!

Here is the link to the web page listing all of the cRio models available.

Drawings are available in IGES, STEP and ProE formats.

Visually, this looks like the cRio that ours is derived from:

As soon as I recieve the Controls kit, I'll start modeling and posting on FirstCadLibrary. These models will be weight accurate and more detailed.

I have updated my model, but for competition purposes you may want to use FirstCadLibrarys version as soon as it comes out. As for now, mine is still available for quick drawings and temporary use if you would like. Just email me. I will warn you that it is not completely accurate. I could not find a fully dimensioned drawing, so i had gone off what i could find.

Nice work. BTW My last post was not intended to be a dig on your model. I was speaking of the generic models on the NI site.

I'm really confused here... didn't the actual models get released through autodesk?

[samir13k]

no offense taken...
Anyways, if you look at FirstBase by autodesk, it says that the drawings will be released around kickoff (from what i can remember). Unforunately, NI's drawings from their website are in IGES form, and you will run into problems with opening them on autodesk. Obviusly, First Cad Library is usually the most reliable source, but they can only make the models after they recieve the parts. This unfortunately means that there are not many usable models out yet. That is why i made my model. It is fairly accurate, so if you want to plug it into an old robots drawings, then it will serve its purpose to show the general area taken up.

Long story short, models will be released eventually, but most are not available yet. Im sure First Cad Library will start theirs asap, but making models is a fairly long process when you reach the precision of them.

Hope that makes sense.
