Tracking parts and drawings

[Anonymous]

Is there a way in inventor or an Add-Inn to track parts and their drawings.

Example: a pipe 3" goes through sheet metal and a revision changes pipe to 6". A domino effect happens after changing pipe, there are other parts affected by the change and their drawings. There are 300+ sheets in a drawing set and can't waste time checking every sheet.

Is there a way to track parts/drawings after changes and parts associated to the parts, so your not going through 300 sheets, just the ones affected by the change

Thanks

Hi bamandl,

Here are a couple of addins from http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/en that come to mind:

Inventor File Paths

Clever

http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aclever...

And of course there is Autodesk Vault as well.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Welcome to the forum.

If you have vault this is a good way to track files as well.

Thanks for "Clever" but it is not what they are looking for. I s something like "Design Doctor" which says these constraints are broken. An alarm saying these parts and drawings are effect by the change.
