Hi FDU Team, In a current customer project, we found out that the tolerance for the automatic closure of connectors is 99mm. This causes problems because we are using assets whose connection points are closer together (e.g. 50mm). It results in connections being automatically closed that do not belong together. We get inconsistent connections. Would you please offer an option to set the tolerance? Regards Andreas Show More

Hello everybody, it would be nice if there was a functionality to import/link properties via Excel template in the asset builder menu. Why? Our goal is to hand out excel templates to suppliers, in which they fill in all the required properties (e.g. Current, Mass, ...). Those are then returned together with the CAD Model. We then built the Asset to use it in our factory layouts. How could it work in theory? The functionality should go through the excel file collecting all the property names and belonging property values. If the property name doesn't exist as a standard (e.g. part number) or as a custom property already it should be automatically created and the values should be assigned to the corresponding property names.  It would also be nice if there could be an update functionality. So changes in the linked Excel file are updated in the corresponding asset.   I know that this might also be possible via iLogic or the FDU API. I already tried a lot with no avail (since i am not a programmer). The iLogic rules i find online are not aiming at the same goal so i always try to adjust them and run into a lot of problems. In my opinion there should be a more user friendly way to achieve this.   Kind Regards,   Florian Scheidler Show More

It would be very useful to be able to publish a "company only" cloud asset that can be used by everyone in the company worldwide.   Thank you.       Show More

Hello,   if you have a very modular system in the FDS the connector Points are getting a mess for the Performance and handling in big layouts.   Nice examples: If you have a conveyor with up to 10 supports in unregular distances you Need to create 10 connector Points.  - It would be great to give connector Points the possibility to be used multiple times.   If we place a sideguard also all the connector Points for walls, supports, and so on Display but we dont Need them at this Moment - It would be great to have a Setting like: Connector Point Support:1 only Shows up if you place an asset with an Support:1 in it or anything simular.   Regards   Show More

Hello, in many cases it would be helful to have the opportunity to mark a Part/Assets as a reference but keep it normal in the drawing. Therefore it would be great to have another Version of "Reference"!   - Not in the BOM - Normal in Drawing (also the coloured view)   Regards Show More

I really miss something like the "Match Properties" function from AutoCAD. Imagine having two assets in your layout with a lot of key parameters and you want that they are both equal. If its single standing you can copy paste the one you need and delete the old one. But in a chain of assets like conveyors or a big machine it can be very stressful to change all the parameters by hand or replace the old one with a copy of the one you need. Show More

It would be nice if we could customize the properties/parameters which are exported by this function. Show More

Why does the FDS layout have a different UCS than standard Inventor files? It makes for some frustrating moments when inserting non-asset part files. It's not that it causes problems, its just annoying! Show More
