    Does Inventor have something similar to this as in Solidworks?

    Thank you

    Not really sure what that does or what you are expecting Inventor to do (sounds more like marketing crap than a real feature but) With Inventor you have a style/standard library where you set all that stuff from the start. So there is really no need for a "design checker" because you work from a style/standard library and are only allowed to use the specific styles/standards set forth in that..

    For example you set up a style for your dimensions. Now when idiot drafter#5 creates a drawing and adds a dimension the style/specifics of that dimension style are already setup so he can't pick blue dimensions when you should be using black or whatever.

    If you looked at the link I provided you will see what it is.

    It is anything but marketing crap.  It is a tool that once templates are setup and the settings

    are in place the design checker makes sure that nothing is deviated from.

    Thank you

    Maria,

    You get a ding, ding, ding, and did I say ding?  :smileylol:

    That is exactly what I am looking for.  Thank you so much.

    Perfect timing since I am going to training tomorrow and Friday and I can bring this up.

    Thanks (did I say that already?)

    Scott

    Thank you

    That is good to know as well seeing we have mechanical.

    Does this "Checkstandard tool" come along for the ride when you have mechanical or is that a pay in addition to addin?

    Thank you
