Create Custom Content for Autodesk Inventor Frame Generator

[justarunner]

Will this particular member not fail if the frame member is placed on an arc?

How would I make a smaller size than what is shown in the designation list?

Smallest shown is 2x2x3/16

I need 1.5x1.5x3/16

@HydroDynamicBuggy You should be able to edit the "Family Table" through the Content Center Editor under the "Tools" or "Manage Tab" (depending on what you're looking at in inventor). Just right click the family, left click Family Table, Right click on the left side where the rows are numbered and add a row. Give it the desired properties and click Publish. If done correctly, it will become a new option in FG.

Hey, so I want to use my own tubing in Frame Generator, how do i just make a custom kind of tubing? Is there a simple way I'm missing? I can't seems to find resources to help me...

@zarbak2 I wouldn't use Frame Generator for Tube and Pipe. Autodesk Inventor has a Tube and Pipe environment that works similar to FG, but pulls from a different set of components specifically designed for tube and pipe. We have both rigid and flexible pips, it all depends on the desired outcome. Go to my channel and search for Routed Systems. You'll see a demonstration of that functionality.

Thanks for the tip on constraint inference!! It's been killing me that I couldn't figure it out.
