Add costing into Inventor

[rdiamond113]

Please add some type of costing interface into Inventor, I know Solidworks just rolled out there new costing addition and sadly it looks very efficient and I've also attended a webinar where it was showcased. Inventor is an awesome product but a big limitation for the mechanical and production industries is have to do costing outside of Inventor and thus subject to errors.

This can be done with ilogic I have my things set up to do this. Price is controlled with excel for the purchaser so if price changes when I open my part the cost will update this includes shop time and paint also. It is really cool..
