Please enable the ability to use 2D control frame features (e.g., Profile of a Line, Straightness of Line Elements, etc.) directly within the 3D Annotation environment. (This is a current competitor capability) In the 3D Annotation environment: Profile of a Line is not available Straightness (Line Element) is not available Other 2D-only control frame options cannot be applied to model geometry Tolerance Features only support surface-based definitions Extruded and pultruded parts are defined by a 2D profile that is constant along a length. The critical tolerances for these parts are almost always applied to: Cross‑section line elements Specific profile segments Local sections rather than full surfaces In these industries, Profile of a Line is not optional — it’s the primary method of controlling shape. But Inventor’s 3D Annotation environment only supports Profile of a Surface, which over‑controls the part and does not reflect real manufacturing or inspection practices. This forces users to: Abandon MBD for these parts Maintain redundant 2D drawings solely for GD&T Lose the benefits of STEP 242 and downstream digital workflows A current work around that we're using so we can still utilize the Tolerance Advisor, is to use Profile of a Surface in the Model, and then update the Drawing to use Profile of a Line, which unfortunately; breaks the link with the model.             Show More

When placing text with leader. Why doesn't i get a "box" that can be adjusted with automatic line brakes as a regular text without leader? Instead i manually have to go in and break the text if there isn't space in drawing for all text in one line.     Show More

Hello,  When I start constraining my parts, 50% of the time I'm starting off wrong because I need to flip between [Flush / Mate].  Could we have a toggle between the constraint solution to add as a shortcut so that i can flip to the other on my keyboard?  I can imagine this could also be useful for all other constraint types, eg: [Tangent - Inside / Outside] [Insert - Opposed / Aligned] ...

I would like the ability to navigate to the previous document I was editing quickly/easily. E.g. a "Back" button would let me navigate back to the Assembly document I was just editing.     Use Case: I'm working on an assembly and I notice an interference.  I open the offending part from inside the assembly, edit the part, then save the part.  I don't want to close the part- just navigate quickly back to the assembly. Currently, I have to look through all the open documents to find the assembly then activate it.  If there was a "Back" button, I would click it (or assign a shortcut key to it) and navigate back to that.  Show More

It would be super helpful from an organization and presentation stand point if Inventor would allow appearances to be applied to browser defined folders, so that whatever parts/assemblies are added to a folder those same parts and assemblies will take the appearance  set by the folder.  Example, if I create a Piping elbows, and apply an "orange" appearance color to that folder, all elbows, or whatever parts are in that folder will be shown as "Orange". Furthermore, there should be an option to set rules for browser folders, such as visible, suppressed, reference, phantom, etc. I know visibility, suppressed, enabled, adaptive, transparent and contact sets are available for folders, but they are only applied to "existing" parts/assemblies already in those folders, it would be nice if those rules were "live", so you didn't have to remember which parts were newly added Show More

It would be nice if I could do a print for all open drawings similar to the 'batch plot' in AutoCAD. I constantly find myself printing PDF files and task scheduler isn't the most reliable software. If I could have a print all open documents button or print all open idw's that would be amazing and save the time from hitting print for every file.  Show More

I work for a large global engineering company.  Our largest customer is requesting that we submit final documentation in the form of a JT model.  This single model shall contain all PMI necessary to make-up for no longer receiving 2D deliverables.  BOM data, Machine Layout Annotations and dimensions, Setup dims, detail drawings containing material callouts, GD&T, titleblock info... etc. As of right now, Inventor will only export the top level.  This will create a major problem for my company providing final docs to our largest customer.  Other customers are starting to ask for this as well.

Users would like an option to automatically add 3D annotations, for example, for holes. This eliminates the need to manually add 3D annotations to the model afterward when transferring the part to Fusion 360 for CAM processing.     Show More

Hi there,   currrently Inventor is lacking the abilitiy to export directly into the IFC format including iProperties, especially user defined i-properties. There are multiple possibilities to set check marks inside Inventor, but this should be only relevant for exporting into a Revit file. If a mechanical designer has to deliver IFC-files to their customer, the only help today is to 1) use a 3rd party add-in e.g. from the Autodesk store 2) user Revit in adition to convert the rvt-file to ifc.   There has to be a possibility to include iProperties (please all of them, userdefinied, standard, instance) into an IFC-file.   Best regards, Kay Show More

I guess I don't even have to explain it anymore, since it has been requested a thousand times already. But after years of requests, can we finally add SW width constraint? It would be the most significant update in years, after many updates with useless functions that don't really add to the user friendliness. Speaking of user friendliness, there is still a lot more that Inventor can learn from Solidworks. Not to criticize inventor, but I have the feeling there are to focused on special features and to little on everyday user friendliness. Show More

Inside Build Files, there is an option to make Packages. I would Like to exports the entire package as 1 PDF document. Right now you have to download a zip file and convert each individual file to a PDF.  Show More

We just moved from Inventor 2024 to the new version Inventor 2026 and when we opened older parts, we found that there was an annoying change in the display of sketches. I am attaching an image with the display of sketches of one part from Inventor 2023 to 2026 and also this part. The way sketches are displayed in Inventor 2024 is very important to us. Will it be possible to revert this behavior? Show More

It would be great to firstly be able to render. Ipn files in studio with 3D trails. Failing this the next best thing would be the ability to export an ipn file to a 3D.step file with 3D trails. These could then be opened and processed for render in studio. Show More

Why can I not connect a regular note without leader so it follows a view when its moved. I use a workaround that sometimes works and sometimes the note disappears when I hide the remove the leader.   Show More

If I select a part and have "auto scroll" activated in the three, the part is selected and shown. If i select "modeling tab" in the three and select "select feature priority". Then I can select any feature and it will show it in the three.   BUT! When trying the same in a weld bead it only marks the "bead folder".   Showing a video here. Instead I have to scroll up and down and drag the pointer over each bead to find the one I want to adjust.   Please make the feature three highlight the bead I'm pointing at! Show More
