Small Inventor annoyances

[dtaylor]

This is Inventor 2014 Pro.

1. Constraint Inference doesn't work when zoomed into a sketch component.  The visual indicator is usually off the screen if you are zoomed into the sketch.  It would be much better if it remained on screen regardless of zoom level rather than anchoring near the centre of the line etc.  See images for example:

Zoomed in.

Zoomed out.

2. The optimised selection box usually appears directly over the item you are trying to select so you can't see if it is highlighted.  I find I am having to drag it off to the side every time to make the target visible.  See images for example:

Std box position.

After I drag it away.

Just some feedback, hopefully it finds the devs.

Dave,

These are some very useful suggestions.  There is actually a place to post enhancements, called the idea station.  I would post your message there and users can then vote on the ideas.  The more votes an idea gets, the more attention it receives from Autodesk developers.  The link is below.  Hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Inventor Idea Station

Peace,

Pete

Here's the link the the Ideas post.  I put them both in the same one which is probably wrong but I didn't have a lot of time.
