Ground one side of the hinge, the part that screws to the door frame i suggest, select it with mouse, right click, select grounded, then Inspect / Activate Contact Solver, also constrain by a range of degree's so the hinges parts don't rotate though themselves.
hey! i am doing a mini fridge for my CAD class and i want to do this hinge to connect the fridge with the door but i have problems when a do this hings and then open it up in my whole assemply for the fridge, the side of the hings will not move. I have a requirement on my task that something needs to move so thought that my fridge door could be opened and closed by doing this hings. do you have a tips for me so i can solve the problem?
Hi Emmy, yes if you insert this part into an assembly it will not move as it is considered to be a single part. There is a way around this but I'll have to look into it. A quick way of doing this would be to open the hinge file and delete one of the sheet metal part so you only have one metal face with holes and the hinge housing (circular extrusions). Then, insert the part twice into your assembly file and mate the parts together axially (concentric constraint) and the hinge parts should rotate about eachother. Hope that makes sense.
nice video. how to you rotate one hinge side? when i have done the constrains I sort of move everything. - I now grounded one hinge side and that worked.
Hi Sofie, thank you. One method of ensuring this is to right click and select 'Ground to Origin' when you place one of the sheet metal parts. This will constrain the according part to the origin whereas the other sheet metal part will rotate about the pin axis. Happy Easter!
Hi @Josswell, difficult to diagnose the issue without me seeing your design tree and relationships. If you are continuing to have this issue please email me at cadchris2021@gmail.com. A few things I would check first: You are working in an assembly file and all the parts are independent of each other. Otherwise it'll be an issue with the mate you are applying and there is an existing mate that is preventing one part from rotating about the other. Let me know how you get on.
Hi, if you print in 3 seperate parts and change the holes to clearance with small tolerance then yes. You will need to print a cap also for the hinge rod.
Hi! Well, it depends on the orientation, if the hinge is positioned vertically then the pin would not fall out. However, if positioned horizontally then you would need a snap-fit cap or equivalent to complete the assembly. Have a nice weekend!
Hey I need a huge favor so me my mom was talking about how we needed something to clean our dogs paws off when he goes from outside to inside so I found this item called Dexas mud buster portable dog paw cleaner and I was gonna buy it for her birthday but I thought it would be more meaningful if I 3D printed it so I tried to do it but completely failed I was wondering if you could maybe make this product on Inventor and post a tutorial? It does not have to be today or tomorrow but her birthday is on the 26th
Hi @Klubniks, that's a nice thing to do! Can you please email a picture of the one you want a tutorial for to: cadchris2021@gmail.com. I've had a look on google but there are a few different designs. I'll try to do on Sunday 22nd May *Thumbs Up*
Hi I still have a problem. While rotating one of the two parts, it can make a rotation of 360 °, instead it should not overlap the other. How can I do?
Hi @Francesco, that's a great question! This is easy to do following these steps: 1. In the assembly file, select both the sheet metal parts and right click and select 'Contact Set'. 2. Then, go to the 'Inspect Tab' (next to Sketch and 3D model), and click on 'Activate Contact Solver'. Inventor will now prevent the contact sets from interfering with each other.
Hi Dany, I recommend to double check the constraint relationships between the hinge elements, ensure the axis are constrained to one another and the top faces of the hinge joint are flush and ensure that there are no other constraints, particularly a locking constraint on either part. Hope that helps :)

very informative...thanks for sharing
Thank you for the feedback, hope it helps. 😊
How are you selecting one side of the hinge and rotating it, as seen at the very end of the video???
Ground one side of the hinge, the part that screws to the door frame i suggest, select it with mouse, right click, select grounded, then Inspect / Activate Contact Solver, also constrain by a range of degree's so the hinges parts don't rotate though themselves.

@@AutodeskInventorTutorials Thx man
hello, thanks for your help, I have a problem after assembling, I can't move the hinge like you do, do I have to do any more steps?

hey buddy, i figured out why. you have to right click on a piece and ground it. otherwise both will move.
@@AutodeskInventorTutorials I finally solved it, it has to do with the piece being fixed. with the left button that option appears. Thanks a lot!
@Joswell, @Sérgio, Nice! Glad that it's solved 😊
@@sdlfreitas yeah!!! thanks!
Thank you! Very useful
Hi @Yulian,
Thanks for you comment, glad you find it educational! Have a nice weekend.
If I am able to 3-D print this, will it also act like a hinge?
Hi, if you print in 3 seperate parts and change the holes to clearance with small tolerance then yes. You will need to print a cap also for the hinge rod.
if 3d printed, will the pin not slip from the other side?
Hi! Well, it depends on the orientation, if the hinge is positioned vertically then the pin would not fall out. However, if positioned horizontally then you would need a snap-fit cap or equivalent to complete the assembly. Have a nice weekend!
Hi how to move door hinge with pin? When I'm moving it pin stays in place and only both metal parts moves.

Thanks. Can you also drawing door handle
Hi @Vladsylav, good suggestion, I will add that to the list! 🙂
@Vlad - Any specific type of door handle? A fixed handle, a handle that rotates, a spherical door knob?
@@AutodeskInventorTutorials I think rotates handle will be okay
Hi @Vald, thanks, I'll try to it this week. Regards,
