I really like the new Display Separate Colors feature. However, it could be even better in my opinion if it also showed a marker next to the component name in the browser. Fusion already does this even though I think the marker could be just a little bigger: Fusion Help | Color code components and features | Autodesk

Mirror parts do not update the tolerances of the 3D model. If you change the tolerance on any feature for any reason, it won't be updated on the mirror part, and unfortunately the parameters are locked if you want to update them there. In fact, I think that the mirror part doesn't reflect the tolerances of the model it comes from, which causes a total breakdown in the design process.

Original author: jletcher Match list for iMates Can we get this fixed.. If I have a Match List set up there is a reason I want the imate to go to the matching imate ONLY... If I have a nut I have an imate 1/4-20 nut in my holes I put 1/4-20 nut on the other side of the hole I have one called Spacer. When I place my nut I don't want it to attach to Spacer but to the MATCHING imate. What good is the list if it will snap to anything? Match means Match nothing more. On my spacer I have one called spacer and one with support bar, support channel, Plate, etc..... The issue is when I tell it to do all matching imates guess what happens. It may be good to have a pick match option when placing. If I want one to match to plate I pick plate if I want the 1/4-20 nut I pick 1/4-20.. Then you can really use this feature as it should not half baked... Thank you.. PS a hotfix or SP would be nice to make this work right..

Hello everyone, Today, while drawing with the Inventor Factory Design Suite, I replaced an asset present in the drawing with one from the Factory library several times. The same asset was always chosen for replacement. This gave me the following idea: How about if the context menu not only suggests the function to swap, but also the most recently used asset? This would increase both speed and convenience. Best regards, Sven ______________________________________________________________ Hallo zusammen, ich habe heute beim Zeichnen mit der Inventor Factory Design Suite mehrmals ein in der Zeichnung vorhandenes Asset durch eines aus der Factory-Bibliothek ersetzt. Es wurde immer dasselbe Asset zum Ersetzen gewählt. Dabei kam mir folgende Idee: Wie wäre es, wenn im Kontextmenü nicht nur die Funktion zum Tauschen vorgeschlagen wird, sondern ebenfalls noch das zuletzt verwendete Asset? Dies würde die Geschwindigkeit und auch den Komfort steigern. Schöne Grüße, Sven

When using the new fold command, the choices are “Flip Side” and “Flip Direction”. Whenever I modify in the model tree, the “flip side” is grayed out. Is this a bug?

It would be nice if I could hover over an edge or a surface, and it would snap to select the nearest possible point to my cursor on edge, curve, surface as a measure to (or measure from) location.

I have a model, and I have it positioned and sectioned, also ortho/perspective, the way I want it on a drawing view. It would be great if I could save this view, give it a name, and recall it later on in drawing. View representations won't do this in this easy way. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/use-a-view-from-model-environnement-in-drawing/m-p/13164071#M941192

It's really cool to have the function to export parts and assemblies to USDz files. It will be more valuable to include the animation in the USDz file. This will give Inventor a big advantage in the competition of the era of AR.

When placing an iLogic Component you have the option to link parameters from the main assebly to the component that you are creating. It would be helpfull that if you have parameters with the same name Inventor would suggest that name as an initial solution. current solution proposed solution

Wenn man in einer Baugruppe ein Bauteil über Vault austauscht, wird die Positionsnummer in der Stückliste neu vergeben. Sobald ich ein bestehendes Teil in der BG durch ein ähnliches ersetze, möchte ich nicht jedes maldie SL öffnen und die Pos.Nr von Hand wieder anpassen müssen. Dies ist unnötige Zeit und Arbeit. Wieso geht man nicht her und startet eine Abfrage, ob man die Pos.Nr. neu vergeben möchte, oder die alte beibehalten möchte? In größeren BG ist die mitunter sehr umständlich. Desweiteren kann man so verhindern, dass die Abänderung innerhalb der SL vergessen wird.

Threaded holes need an option to change the drill diameter on the fly without going into the thread table.

Just as it says, why did the Inventor coders decide to limit the angle of rotation on faces to 119°? Crazy. So, I need to rotate these particular faces 135° total, and must do it in two separate operations, one at 110°, the second operation at 25°, just to trick Inventor into doing what it should be capable of doing in one single operation. Fix this asap.

References 1 and 2 should be able to come from the same piece if necessary without create plan ! And we must have the possibility to constraint 2 faces between 2 other without create another plan in my part. On the video : If i select first blue and red faces, and yellow and green in second, the yellow/green should be in the middle of red/blue

It would be beneficial to have a slot call out tool that worked with the Hole/Thread note feature on drawings. As it is, slots must be called out manually.

charlesharington · ‎11-19-2024

Best practice should be to apply sorting and part numebrs to parts from the bill of materials window. Setting should be able to be applied to this (filter and renumber) as default on a template. Sub titles could also be inserted which do not have an impact on the bom but allow better catagorisation of parts in the bom. This would allow for better automated export of BOMs into ERP systems This should also all be able to be controled by ilogic.

It should be possible to directly copy and paste materials and appearances between parts without having to temporarily add them to a library and get them from there.

Siguiendo con la idea de mejorar las listas BOM de @evan.wondra, se podría recoger las imágenes de "CAPTURAS VISTAS" . Podríamos poner una opción que nos deje insertar en listas BOM.

Tenemos que tener una mejora en la herramienta " TEXTO- Contorno Texto". Cuando trabajamos poder crear contornos de texto el resultado es muy malo. Es necesario una mejora para poder crear extrusión de letras 3D, crear una librería mas completas con nuevas tipologías y una herramientas que os permita copiar o crear el contorno de estas letras. resultado de contornos

It would be incredibly beneficial to have a wider variety of text border formats available when annotating drawings and models. Currently, the options for text borders are somewhat limited, which can constrain how effectively we can highlight important notes or differentiate between various types of information. By introducing more text border formats, we could improve the clarity and visual appeal of our documentation. Benefits of Expanded Text Border Formats: Enhanced Clarity: Different border styles can help emphasize critical information, making it stand out for easier reference. Improved Organization: Categorizing notes and annotations using distinct border formats can streamline the review process. Aesthetic Appeal: More formatting options allow for cleaner and more professional-looking documents, which is beneficial when sharing with clients or stakeholders. Easier Compliance with Technical Standards: A wider range of text border options helps meet technical documentation standards more effectively, ensuring that documents adhere to industry norms and regulations. Implementing this feature would not only enhance user experience but also increase productivity by reducing the time spent on workarounds to achieve the desired text presentation.
