I find myself creating idws of parts and assemblies to document Free Body Diagrams. I use the sketch tool to draw forces, dimension locations, etc. When I update the source iam/ipts, the diagrams update.
Sometimes I print out the idw and take a picture of it with my iPad. I use the picture as a background for the Force Effect app. This works ok, but is cumbersome as the design changes.
I would like to see the Force Effect solver running in Inventor so I can create simple 2D Free Body Diagrams without having to go into the Dynamic Simulation environment.
Ideally, the solver would understand geometry updates to the base components, position and view reps. I see it running in a child sketch of a drawing view, that way I can project just the required geometry for the Free Body Diagram.
