Some things we miss badly

I found the time this day to write down only a few hopes for 2014 and misses for 2013

 

  1. Update also non Autocad Inventor files.
    We love the update function but why we have this restriction that it only work with inventor files.
    We normally use DWF files from Inventor (we get this automated from SAP) and this is a big missing that the update wont work there.
    Also a update of PTC files will be a big winner inside my company cause we have both Inventor and ProE
  2. Preview of Autocad views from a Inventor DWG.
    We use the DWG format inside Inventor but we never get a preview by inserting blocks from this drawings
  3. Update of this drawings  i talked about under topic 2
  4. Supporting layers for all non 3D content like texts / pics and so on
    We have to create multilingual documentations so this will be a big time saver
  5. On publishing selectabel conting regarding to topic 4 here
  6. Enable Illustrator and QuarkExpress export
  7. Support the clipboard for pictures / DWG / DXF


So i think this is enough for this first list.
I hope my thoughts will help you

I have the same problem with trails here. I would like to make a part of a trail line invisile. See image.

remove trail line.jpg

I think there is no way to do this in Publisher 2013

one more thing:

 

text justification (Left, Center and Right) when creating a label.

 

by the way when will inventor publisher 2014 be released?

 

Best regards

When you select the Move function, it appears at the centre of the selected object.

 

This is frustrating when zoomed in to something that you simply want to move along an axis.

 

Have the ability to snap the Move function into view.

As we are in ideas here, there should be a way to improve the update functions, specially when parts are moved or exploded and the original parts have modifications. It's all explained here : http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor-Publisher/Update-causes-components-to-move/td-p/3882...

Maybe I missed something on the way to use Publisher but if not, this behavior makes it impossible to really use it.

This is a problem with Publisher. It used to update fine, but it has never worked in 2013 for me.
