IPN views not updating Inventor 2017
In IV2017 the Presentation changed completely. In the Presentation Browser there will be a snapshot of your Presentation. This Snap Shot is what gets used for your Drawing. If you make a change to the Presentation, you need to RMB on the desired Snap Shot in the Presentation Browser and select Update.
This new setup allows you to create multiple Snap Shots (Green Box) using the same presentation from different view rotations to zooming in on a particular section and creating new and additional snap shots. It has nothing to do with the lower slider play bar.
When you create your Views in your Drawing, you can then select which Snap Shot you wish to place and use for each view. You just need to remember to go back and refresh the desired Snap Shot.

It's as simple as RMB on the Snap Shot, make your changes and then select the big Green Check Mark on the Ribbon Menu and the Snap Shot is updated with your changes and any view reposition. Your drawing view will update with the changes.
Rotate your model around to the new designed view and position, select the "New Snap Shop View". Then go to your drawing, select the "Create New View", you will now have two Snap Shots that you can choose from for your.
Once you get the hang of it, you will like the changes. The ability to create a number of different views from the same IPN file is great.

Since the IPN was released in Inventor, there hasn't been a single change to the module. In the mean time they developed Inventor Publisher which has the features now found in the current release of Inventor.
It took me a bit to get used to it even though I tested the Beta version.

So how come I cannot find this Snapshot views panel?
It seems to be missing.
Edit:
I found it in the view tab. It was turned off fsr..idk
I guess I might as well be the first then 🙂 . This new format was a carry over from Inventor Publisher. This "fixed" snapshot was great feature within I-P. This allows you to do your explosion and create different views but from the same zoom point as well at to zoom in and from different angles. This can be done along the explosion process.
Yes, it takes a bit to get used to clicking the refresh icon for a given snapshot but I wouldn't go back.
Only been using Inventor since release 4, about 18 releases worth and yes, it took a bit to get used to at first.

Hi Mike,
I know you are unhappy and you might be frustrated. But, I do need to see an example of the defective behavior. The issue you are seeing may or may not be related to the original thread. Also, it could have been fixed. Without an example, there isn't much we can do.
Are you on Inventor 2017? Have you applied the latest update to Inventor 2017 (2017.4 followed by 2017.4.8)?
Many thanks!
Hi Mike,
No worries! I totally understand your pain. It is indeed frustrating when something is not working the way it is supposed to. Inventor as a software product has bugs in almost every corner. There is room for improvement for sure. Have you found a solution to the issue? Is it still not working? Could you share an example here?
Many thanks!
Hi! The only reason I could think of is possibly due to performance. If you have multiple snapshots on a large assembly, updating the views together may take a while. Also, being automated means any change in the assembly would propagate to the snapshots. I will work with the project team to see how we can change the behavior. But, I don't anticipate a quick fix unfortunately.
Many thanks!
