Hello. Enhancement of "Body Sanity Check Tool" (CTRL+F7) for sliver faces and non-manifold edges is needed. Currently these issues cannot be seen with "Design Doctor" nor with Body Sanity Check Tool" (CTRL+F7). And these issues causes errors on drawings ("Some components could not be processed properly resulting in a view that may not be accurate."). Also components are excluded from the "Section View".       Best regards, Rene Repina   Show More

Please add this feature in Insert constraint too!     Show More

Hello. In Inventor Studio, Select All Occurrences command is needed (it is currently disabled). Our documentation department has to switch between environments to use this command and color same occurrences in bulk.         Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

Hello.   Improvement for status response in Task Scheduler is needed. If memory exceeds the threshold, it logs that in logs, but status says "Unknown Exception", which is not true, because it is known.       Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

For the love of Dog, institute an autosave feature. I use this software for business. Multi-Million Dollar projects. Constantly. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that when we get involved in projects, we get tunnel vision. Why? Because Inventor is incredible software and the design possibilities are endless.    However, you can't include an Autosave Feature?    As much as I love your software, I curse your name every time I'm building a project for a client and the software just decides to close. No rhyme. No reason.   The VERY least you can do while your software is so prone to crashes, it to allow your customers who spend ridiculous amounts of money to use your un-reliable software is to ensure we won't lose our work as we use it.   Make it happen! Vectorworks has that feature AND NEVER crashes. Show More

When adding an image to a sketch, then performing an operation on it(move, rotate, scale, whatever) Can we get a preview of the image instead of a useless boundary box? Show More

Hello. Message for "path to the file is too long" when importing / opening STEP (or other files). We had an example when path to file was too long, but no error message was returned. It simply did not import the STEP and we did not know why.     Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

Hello. I don't know if the topic has already been discussed or not. Working in INVENTOR, the undo function works up to 30 undos for the entire program. I think that when working on several windows, an interesting solution would be the ability to undo for each window separately. Example: We work in window no. 1 for some time. Then we create a part in window no. 2. We assemble the assembly in window no. 3. It turns out that several operations performed on the part in the first window should be undone. And we have a problem, because currently the program gives us the ability to go back about 30 steps (in total) not for each window separately.     Witam. Nie wiem, czy temat był już poruszany czy nie. Pracując w programie INVENTOR, funkcja cofnij działa do 30 cofnięć na cały program. Uważam, że pracując na kilku oknach ciekawym rozwiązaniem, byłaby możliwość cofnięcia dla każdego okna z osobna. Przykład: Pracujemy w oknie nr 1 jakiś czas. Potem tworzymy część w oknie nr 2. Składamy zespół w oknie nr 3. Okazuje się, że kilka operacji wykonanych na części w oknie pierwszym, należałoby cofnąć. I mamy problem, ponieważ obecnie program daje nam możliwość cofnięcia się o około 30 kroków (w sumie) nie dla każdego okna z osobna.  Show More

Users and companies would like the possibility to sync the whole Inventor default templates with Vault. (i.e. Backgrounds, Macros, Textures, etc.) Not just only the "Design Data" and "Templates" folders. As a company it would be easier that way to keep all users default templates in sync company-wide. For example, Macros get improved all the time. Show More

In a assembly you can create a mid plane by selecting two surfaces from two different components but can not create one with two faces from the same component. This brings you to either open the component and add the mid plane or create a offset plane distance 0 and then make the mid plane between the newly created plane and the other surface. Would really be a time saver to add this fonction. Show More

Hello. It would be great to have an ability to show constraint preview on assemblies with machining features. Currently "preview" function does not do anything, because it is disabled for assemblies with machining features, due to performance preservation.       Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

As it currently stands, 99.6% of user ideas submitted to this forum never see the light of day. Sad and unforgivable. Read through the past week of ideas submitted, and you will see users who really need the software improved in ways that speed up workflow or just make it simpler to accomplish everyday job tasks. Now, search back through this forum years ago, and read excellent improvement ideas that were completely ignored. Why? Is Autodesk truly interested in making a product that benefits companies and engineering professionals? Show it. That is all. Show More

Now that design view representations are used for performance management (replacing level of detail / model states) I have 2 suggestions:   The total number of visible parts should be displayed in the status bar (alongside total active occurrences and open documents) This would give an indicator of expected performance (to the extent that the occurrence count does) but now for visible / hidden parts vs (un-)suppressed parts for model states (level of detail)   The view representation should be displayed in the browser tree (the same as model states are / as an option) This would help with management of nested view states (both when used for performance and appearance reasons) as it is currently very easy to accidentally loose associativity and hard to keep track of simplified representations (have to manually go to the representations window to check any particular sub-component).

The Content Center urgently needs Imperial studs. Our team has successfully developed these studs using the metric stud family supplied by the Inventor Content Center to ensure functionality. However, we are currently facing non-fatal but inconvenient errors when placing these studs. I am more than happy to share the Imperial family we have created to help expedite development. The functions we are seeking include hole recognition, dynamic adjustment, and pattern recognition. Show More

Suggestion: It would greatly improve workflow efficiency if the Replace Component dialog in Autodesk Inventor could default to the same folder as the selected part. Currently, the dialog opens to the last-used folder or the root of the active project, which often requires additional navigation and interrupts the design process. Introducing an option to make the dialog remember the location of the selected part or to allow users to configure this behaviour would streamline component replacement, especially in large assemblies with well-organized folder structures. Benefit: This enhancement would reduce repetitive browsing, save time, and create a smoother user experience during component replacement tasks. Show More

Currently, when users add a manual contact condition that overlaps with an automatically generated one, Inventor shows a warning but does not provide a direct way to manage the conflict. We suggest the following improvement: If a manual contact condition is added that matches an existing automatic contact, Inventor should: Display a warning message, Offer a button to overwrite the existing automatic contact condition, or Provide a shortcut to navigate directly to the existing contact condition for editing. This would streamline the workflow and reduce the need to manually search for and resolve contact conflicts. Show More

This idea is created at the request of one of our clients. Below is the content of his email: "Please allow us to use the entire resources of our computers in simulation processes (and more). We have great machines (more and more cores) and we don't have the ability to use them to their full potential. The suggestion to start using Fusion360 software is a mockery. We bought a much more expensive program and pay a subscription and the suggestions in other Inventor Ideas posts are out of place. If you are not going to change anything in Inventor Professional and are going to stop developing Inventor then please tell us - we will switch to other software that is developing (SOLIDWORKS) sooner."
