Analyzing Draft Angle

[ToddPig]

In Solidworks, while analyzing draft, there is the ability to hover over a surface on the part and the draft angle is displayed.  It is very useful (even more useful to color blind people).  

Is there an Inventor equivalent to this?

Thanks,

Todd

Hi ToddPig,

In the Ribbon > View Tab >  Visibiltiy panel > Analysis button

Then in the model tree, right click on the Analysis node and choose New Draft Analysis.

Or

In the Ribbon > Inspect tab > Draft button to create a new draft analysis

there is a quick video at this link:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Curtis,

As always, thanks for the response. I guess I should've stated that I have already done what you are recommending, but I'm looking for something more. Again, in SW, you can hover your mouse over a surface, and a value is displayed directly below the mouse icon that represents the draft angle. (I tried to capture this, but I was not able to screen grab with the mouse icon shown)

Just a few more things.. (probably a given but just checking if that functionality may suffice)

-Angle measure tool..pick 2 faces and get the angle

-Selection filter set to features and select face and see draft angle shown in model browser or select other dialog (note.. assumes "Display Extended Information" is enabled in tools..application options..part tab
