Sometimes it's more important to control the size of the view than the scale.  There should be a parameter that controls the size of the view (in sheet space), and then the scale should be automatically determined. Show More

It would be useful to have visual rule editor where user could create rules visually using drag & drop similar to Visio or Dynamo for Revit: Show More

Hi, I'm using Inventor since last 5 years and working on pesonal work improving tools as well by I logic and macros.   If we could record macro as other software like creo it's more beneficial to record the repeating action and we can lot time on creating script for same. Show More

Replace selected components   Currently the options are replace all, or individually select one component replace, select the next one and replace, then repeat this process for all of the individual components (i.e. mainly hardware parts).   Just an additional option would do just fine, or Simply adding the ability to select multiple component qty's to the current Replace command:   Replace Replace selection (multiple) Replace all Show More

I’m frustrated that when creating a dynamic assembly model with multiple functions I can only create the “View, Position, or Level of detail in a Master setting and then have to do an override in each of the representations to get them to perform the task I’ve created… It’s counterproductive as you are always toggling back and forth suppressing and unsurprising mates as an example to create a dynamic model… Also why when you save an assembly does it always have to be in a master representation? The other software I design in you create “Configurations” for dynamic modeling and can perform any duties with in that configuration such as hiding, or suppressing models and mates without having to do it in a master, because they are all essentially masters. I believe that this is a critical product enhancement that with enough support could get pushed through. Show More

There should be a different (set of) parameter(s) for IvBalloon that "simply" allows the balloon to be connected to the nearest drawing-curve.  Currently, the user must name an edge and that edge must resolve to a drawiing curve in the view -- difficult to get this right.  For IvBalloon, the easiest solution is just to allow a value of :Nearest for the "entity1" parameter.

Sorting by the values in the properties grid will give us the ability to more easily find rules based on the expected values.  This is especially helpful when working on datasets by others who have not properly documented the rules in a way that it is easy to find the rules in question.  In the case below, I know that the tank is 72 inches tall from my measurement of the Inventor model.  If I could sort by the Values then I would be able to very quickly find that the associated rule is very likely TankHeight.  My understanding is that the grid below is a DevExpress grid and column sorting is a property setting.  That simple and quick change would be quite helpful for debugging.   Show More

Tool or function to clean-up/remove orphaned member part files.  For example I have a project with about 3000 part files. I know I'm using only a fraction of these parts in the current design. These orphaned parts slow down other processes such as the up-load and down-load of the project to and from the server. Also, creates a burden to the server backup, while having little or no benefit once the design has been complete. I cannot just delete all of the member files and rebuild the model because any drawings that were already started or completed will be compromised.   Show More

I miss a number of Part Features.   The most important one is the IvPartRevolveFeature similiar to IvPartExtrudeFeature.   Thanks Dieter Show More
