When a dimension is used as an input for another dimension (e.g. d2 = d1 / 2) there is no warning that an "orphaned dimension" will be created if the original dimension (e.g. d1) is deleted.   It would be really useful if a dialogue popped up to warn that the dimension deleted is being used as an input to another dimension.   Something like: "The dimension being deleted is being used by dimensions:    d1, d2, d3   Are you sure you want to delete the dimension?   An orphaned dimension parameter will be created if you go ahead with this action. "   Show More

Hello,   Please consider adding Recover functionality to Inventor, similar to what AutoCAD has.  I recently used this kb support document that explained to open the Inventor dwg file in AutoCAD and use the AutoCAD recover command.  It would be nice to be able to recover a file when needed in Inventor and not have to use AutoCAD.   "The database could not be opened" when opening Inventor drawing (DWG) from Vault files become corrupted     Thank you   Show More

In the company, we use this feature a lot and we miss it. Create different types of assemblies instantly. With new features it will allow more efficiency! iva.btblan Show More

Users would like to be able to select parameters from the model's surface function in the surface texture function of the 2D drawing. With an annotation, parameters can already be accessed from the model's surface function (Figure 1). The same functionality would be desirable in the surface texture function of the 2D drawing. (Figure 2) This would allow the drawing to be automatically updated when the surface processing method in the model changes. Currently, there is a gap here that allows for errors. Show More

Please add the possibility to stretch the ‘component pattern’ editing window to enlarge it. This will improve the workflow. Show More

Many times when a project consists of several sheets and need to refer from one to the other would be easier if there is an option for simultaneous viewing all sheets.   Original Author: kpapjim   Show More

Currently when creating holes, we have the options for Drilled, Counterbore, Spot face and Countersunk from the top only.   It could be beneficial to have these same options to add features to the bottom of the same hole.   As requested by : Anonymous on 5/9/2013 Show More

I'm going to say that this idea is actually an amalgamation of a lot of others )(Examples ), but ever since Inventor added the the little button for selecting the axis into the pattern tool, I'm wanting that button EVERYWHERE.    This was a great idea:   Here's some other locations where it could go; and I'm sure there's many more.   In the 'Move Body - Along Ray' command:   In the 'Revolution' command: (two-options and in dark-mode)   Show More

Original Author:   MattH_Work     Whilst I appreciate that we cannot move features up & down the browser without changing the Part (we are free to move components up & down in the Assembly, therefore browser folder 'restructurng' has no impact), it would be nice to have a second browser (ala the Vault browser) where we can sort, reorder, add to folders, the content of a file (group all extrusions, revolves, sketches etc) Even if this was just a visual  display of the 'sorted' feature tree with no editing capability (maybe a right click option to 'Goto Feature' in main browser for editing) it would make it easier for finding, renaming etc Show More

I'm trying to bring back the idea to life again. it was first proposed by @al_inventor and status changed to archive due to lack of support vote. but i see you @al_inventor .   I'm dealing with quite an amount of Reverse Engineering modelling and my reference is mesh .stl file. And it is just another type of hassle to have the mesh file aligned properly on the coordinate / global system on another software, and import it back again in Inventor. It will make the process so much easier to have this tool build in Inventor. Show More

I was missing the possibility to create a mirror feature in a 2d sketch within the Autodesk Inventor software without using the symmetrical constraints created by Inventor. As you can see in the video it is with this add-in possible to Mirror sketch entities without using constraints. Maybe this is a good idea for implementation in future releases of Autodesk Inventor.

Hi,   Currently, if you attach parts list balloons to an existing balloon, you can only align them vertically or horizontally. We create many "round" body views as pressure vessel fabricators. I'm thinking a nice setup would be to have, by default, balloons you can drag around and orient freely at any degree interval and the option that you can maybe drag + Ctrl to snap to 45 degree intervals. This would allow us to layout some of our prints a little nicer.   Thanks! Show More

Similar to "find in browser" or "find in window", add an option for views on a page to "find view source". This would navigate to the page from whence the detail was created and also zoom to the view/detail boundary in question. Show More

It would be nice to align a drawing view vertically with another view AND horizontally with another view.  Currently you only get one option. Show More

It would be truly helpful to have the possibility to insert standard bolted connections to models within frame generator. I know that there is software like Tekla structures and Autodesk structual detailing, but you don't have to design whole buildings before it is necessary to use bolted connections. Most smaller scale structures needs to be shipped in containers and assembled on site.    Original Author: Anonymous on Nov 25, 2013   Show More

I have two parts.  One butts up to another.  I want to join these two parts. At the moment, I create a sketch on one face of the first part, and project the geometry of the adjoining face of the second part, one at a time. Create an option to project all geometry from the adjoining face of the second part.   ALSO   Sometimes I need to modify parts on a side face, but avoid features within the part that I can't see on the face in question. Create an option to project the geometry of hidden features within a part. Show More

In part environment, when selecting a face you get a menu that allows you to - Edit the feature - Edit the feature sketch - Share the feature sketch - Turn feature sketch visibilit on/off - Create new sketch on the face - Apply appearance override I would like a 6th option to move the EOP (end of part) right after the affected feature which would allow me to edit large models with long rebuid times faster. It allows you roll the model back to that feature to edit the sketch, feature without long rebuilds. Show More

Please can you add the ability to export the drawing sheet background colour to PDF file format. Alternatively, a 'send to back' option for any hatched regions.   I have found a workaround where I export the Inventor drawing to .dxf format. I open the .dxf file in AutoCAD where I draw an outer rectangle to represent the sheet boundary, A3, solid hatch fill blue (in this example). In the hatch options I set 'send to back' to place the hatched rectangle behind the drawing views etc.   Further to the attached videos, to get the white outlines of the object I created a new plot style table (pen assignments) in AutoCAD and changed the black line colour to be output as white. I then used print to Microsoft PDF and set to the newly created plot style in the plot options.   This is long winded, especially for when lots of drawings are to be processed.   Many thanks, Gareth Show More
