Wire Problems?

I have noticed that there are several threads about wires. Each of them has had a unique problem. However, I think that most if not all of them could have been avoided if we just avoid wires. I may be out of line, but I always make do without wires and have never had any problems. Anyone else try to work a part without wires and not be able to? I am just beginning to wonder if this is tool is more trouble then it is worth.

Re: Wire Problems?

In some cases, it is more trouble than it's worth. But in other cases, the wires need to be modeled if you want an accurate model.

We have modeled the wires to see how we should route them, if they'll fit, and so on, just like gears and brackets.

Re: Wire Problems?

You couldn't use a loft or sweep or any other command to check?

Re: Wire Problems?

Part of your score is that you use the different parts of Inventor according to how its made in real life. So if you have a part that is bent sheet metal it looks bad if you make it as a normal ipt. Same thing with wiring being done by lofting a circle.

Re: Wire Problems?

Really? I was not aware of this. This seems kind of like a strange way of scoring.
