Hello. Enhancement of "Body Sanity Check Tool" (CTRL+F7) for sliver faces and non-manifold edges is needed. Currently these issues cannot be seen with "Design Doctor" nor with Body Sanity Check Tool" (CTRL+F7). And these issues causes errors on drawings ("Some components could not be processed properly resulting in a view that may not be accurate."). Also components are excluded from the "Section View".       Best regards, Rene Repina   Show More

To keep parameters screen organized and tidy, it would be nice to have the option to insert row, just as you can in Excel.  And or the ability to move a row up and down in the screen. Show More

Users would like an option that allows text to be displayed as line markup using the Markup function. Currently, it is only possible to use text as outlines, meaning that text always has an outer contour and an inner contour, and the letter "I" is displayed as a kind of elongated hole rather than a line. In any case, we have not found any text in Inventor that is displayed as line text using the Markup function.   The disadvantage of the current text marking is that the laser engraving always has to follow two contours on the component. If you want this for optical reasons, then fine, if not, then please use an option switch for text as a line.   Show More

When you tweak a component in a presentation file, the trail lines are always blue and the same weight. Can we get more variety of line options, and weights? At a minimum, a black dotted line would be great. But if we had the option to adjust the weight color and type, this would be awesome. Thanks! Nathen   Show More

Why why why!!! why is it when I am generating large iassembly or ipart members I get this stupid dialog box that I have to constantly click "OK for every...single...member... I could be off doing other things while my computer works, churning out files for 15 minutes, but no. I have to sit here like a monkey and click on this dumb button every 30-60 seconds like I'm chaperoning kids on a field trip. please let me select "OK to all" or "don't show again like every other error message in the program. Extremely frustrating Show More

Hello, Some companies are trying to use so-called paperless documentation. Autodesk Inventor offers tools such as 3D Annotations...but unfortunately, when generating .dwf previews or view in Vault, 3D annotations are static(they do not change in relation to rotation in space, even though this works in Inventor). The same applies to the .dwf viewer.   Please vote for future improvements. Thank you.   STANISLAV ŠUCHA CAD/CAM Consultant Arkance Systems SK s.r.o.   Show More

I've had multiple instances where I need to pattern out some features on a multi-body part, but need to do them as a collection of patterns because the features effect different solids. What I would like to see would be a 'pattern/mirror multi-body features' button that takes a collection of operations performed on various solids and then patterns/mirrors those features to the appropriate solids as the original operations worked on. The 'pattern/mirror solids' is sometimes a way to get around this, but for quite a few models, what you're working on isn't symmetric enough for that option to work.   This is how it works now. Manageable, but cumbersome because it requires a whole pile of redundant operations. In this example, I've patterning out a manway nozzle and it requires cutting the shell, refractories, and liners, and then adding in new shell and new linings. I can perform the cuts on the same feature, but I have to put each of the 'addition' features onto their own operation because if I don't the component pattern/mirror tools just put them all as ONE solid.   Here's another more egregious example where I'm needing to use 9 operations because it's dealing with around 4x different solids, but I then need to have 5x more operations just to 'pattern it 90deg'. The introduction of the tool I'm proposing would do this in one operation.   Show More

I've found a few other forum ideas around this from a years ago, but Id like to bring up again and maybe add more clarity to the request. There are some fairly decent work arounds, but if you look through the examples (Solved: Pattern Feature around closed loop - Autodesk Community) it's not very straightforward. What I would requesting would be a 'SIMPLE' command to do the patterning by closed-loop reference. It appears that all the pieces are there in some way or another, so the thing that's missing is a simple tool and interface to be able to execute the operation. Ideally; you'd have a feature or hole; you'd select a 'pattern to reference' command and it would then try to put your selected number of occurrences onto the reference geometry (spline, closed loop, edge, 3d line, etc.) or have a set distance between centers to use and qty of occurrences. If you can bring in some of the latest pattern capabilities and have the occurrences limited by "once around the loop",  "end at loop", or "add irregular instance" then I think it would very powerful command. I'd see this being used all over the place for irregular flanges, chains (finally), and other sorts or curve following pattern tools.   This posting appears to match what I'm requesting the most Optimized Feature Pattern (Fit Pattern) - Autodesk Community     Show More

I would like to have a function within Frame Generator (such as miter and trim/extend) to be able to create a tongue and groove connection on sleeves, pipes, etc. This extra function would save me a lot of time in providing this on my parts, so that much less measuring is required during production.

Users and companies would like the possibility to sync the whole Inventor default templates with Vault. (i.e. Backgrounds, Macros, Textures, etc.) Not just only the "Design Data" and "Templates" folders. As a company it would be easier that way to keep all users default templates in sync company-wide. For example, Macros get improved all the time. Show More

I suggest creating an automated field from the I-Properties for geometry text. This would be similar to what is possible with straight text. However, this option is not available anywhere in the “Geometry Text” input mask. Show More

Hello.   Improvement for status response in Task Scheduler is needed. If memory exceeds the threshold, it logs that in logs, but status says "Unknown Exception", which is not true, because it is known.       Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

When you put tolerances on a regular dimension, you can add numbers to the upper and lower values, and it defaults to upper tolerance is plus (+) lower tolerance is minus (-).     But when you dimension a hole, the upper *AND* lower tolerances are BOTH PLUS (+) and if you want the lower to be MINUS (-) you have to manually type in the minus (-) symbol.     Come on Autodesk, at least standardize on how to specify deviation tolerances!!!!

I miss the function in the assembly tree that automatically groups identical components (screws, etc.)—this makes the assembly tree much clearer. Show More

Dear Autodesk Team, I have been a dedicated Inventor user for over 20 years in my professional career. Now that I am retired, I would still like to occasionally use Inventor at home for personal, non-commercial projects. Unfortunately, the current licensing model makes this impossible. Many retired professionals are in the same situation: we have years of experience, countless personal projects built in Inventor, and deep loyalty to Autodesk, yet we are completely locked out once we leave our professional environment. It would be fair and highly appreciated if Autodesk could introduce a “Retiree” or “Personal” Inventor license, similar to how Fusion 360 has a free Personal Use license. Some possible approaches could be: A free or low-cost Inventor license limited to non-commercial use. A time-limited license (e.g. 20 hours/month) to prevent misuse. Access to older Inventor versions unlocked for personal use. This would not only reward long-time users, but also keep the Inventor community alive and engaged beyond the workplace. Instead of pushing people towards unauthorized solutions, Autodesk could demonstrate goodwill and strengthen customer loyalty. Please consider this seriously — it would be a fair way to give something back to those who supported Autodesk for decades. Thank you for your time and for considering this idea. Sincerely,   Jože Show More

With Inventor 2025+ using .NET 8, there is no separate execution context for the add-in to run. So, if there is a Nuget package/assembly version conflict with the add-in and Inventor or another add-in, it will cause an error. Below are some resources for how to do this manually within each add-in.   Could this be built into the standard ApplicationAddInServer to prevent the need from doing this manually?   Blog article on Inventor add-in implementing AssemblyLoadContext: https://tylerwarner.dev/how-to-use-assemblyloadcontext-for-isolating-inventor-addin-dependencies   Sample Inventor add-in implementing AssemblyLoadContext: https://github.com/tylerwarner33/autodesk-inventor-assembly-load-context   Revit implementation discussion about internal implementation: https://feedback.autodesk.com/project/forum/thread.html?cap=cb0fd5af18bb49b791dfa3f5efc47a72&forid=%7B057e532f-e478-43d9-affc-01b3deb82a76%7D&topid=%7B8C202188-9EA5-49BE-B95F-7F5115507C88%7D   Show More

I think it would be a good idea for Balloons to have a field to add suffix's and prefix's. Something that isn't linked directly to an iProperty (although it could) but is writable for our engineers. This way we don't have to override the balloon if we want to add "2X" to a balloon, and if the part number changes it doesn't update.  I've attached a mockup of what it might look like. What do y'all think?            Show More
