I'd like to be able to make 2 faces parallel and leave the distance between them floating, meaning doesn't need to be a specific value at all. Once again...see Solid Edge.

Is there a way to make the text for the 2.500 dim go in between the lines….without changing the text size? There’s plenty of room, and I can even get the text to appear there when I’m moving it for a split second, but it won’t stay. Also, I find it difficult to place dims as illustrated below,,,,and after placing them, if I move them at all it goes back to the other way.

I don't know why anyone would want leadered text to react as it currently does when existing break lines are moved as a unit (still way too difficult to pick both vs. one, BTW) or individually. When I take out several feet worth of a long model, I *don't* need leadered text NOT EVEN NEAR THE BREAK LINE LOCATION to stay in place, stretching the leader in response!! When a move or edit of a break line occurs, causing the movement of the feature it is attached to, move the leader and text AS A UNIT, AS DRAWN.

At present the default row in an iPart or iAssembly table is changed when a different member is viewed in the factory. It would be great if we could change between members within a factory without causing the document to become dirty or changing the default insertion table row. This is particularly noticable when opening the factory via an inserted member where Inventor switches to the member row and requires checking out the factory from Vault. Preventing the factory becoming dirty when switching rows is probably difficult to implement, but even retaining the default row would be beneficial. We would continue being able to set the default row while editing the table. As well as retaining the default insertion member, it could simplify the dependency history of the factory in Vault due to fewer changes of the default row over time (assumes the document is saved for check-in using the default row, rather than the currently viewed row).

I would like to see a 'radius' option added to the sweep command to simplfy the creation of pipes. I have to model a lot of railings, arches etc created out of metal tubes and pipes. At the moment I have to create the 3D path, create a workplane at one end and then sketch a circle on the workplane, then sweep that along the 3D path. It would be much quicker to open the Sweep command, select a 3D path and specify a radius and have Inventor automatically create a tube following the 3D path. I know Frame Generator can do this- but that creates seperate parts, and is too complex for what I am trying to do.

When I work with complex shapes most of the time it is difficult to obtain a shell. I would like to see some button in the shell dialog box like "make shell with aproximation" to achieve some result instead of getting nothing.

Like them to do a change in the constraint Angle so that when we use it to drive something, she does not stop at 180 degrees. Let me explain: I was trying to animate a spiral spring, it was twisted to resemble winning pressure, but when the angle of twist was over 180 degrees, it retreated, example: if you try to drive up to the angle of 190 degrees, it will move to 180 and backward 10 degrees, getting the incorrect animation. One way to stay cool and not influence ja assembly would run thus: When asking for User restrigir one tile in angle, the angle would be calculated clockwise, increasingly, being chosen the lowest angle to 180 degrees, the limitation of driving would not exist, ie User could put any angle, the conduction angle is positive the piece will be conducted in clockwise, the angle is negative eg -270 degrees, the piece was conducted for the 270 angle, so that it counter-clockwise. Attached a picture of the assembly to reference doque informed in the text.

When using iLogic forms I need to go deeper than 7 when using rows after that the whole thing is screwed up! please increase

As a creative designer I create and construct my object in the same time. So in the same part, I've often a lot of functions, solids, planes...And I lost a lot of time to find a function. Elena

When importing designs into 3dsmax from inventor I spend the time placing on materials etc only to need to do an update on the inventor model and then having to start all over again. Can we please have a link between these two after all there in the same suite of products.

Save Inventor files to the hard drive with the same icon used in the Inventor Browser. Two items in particular come to mind: iParts and Weldment Assemblies.

I'd like to be able to use the measure option on an existing model to specify thickness and various other values in the Sheet Metal Defaults dialog box. The option is there... but it doesn't work for any of the value boxes. See video here: https://chronicle.autodesk.com/Main/Details/9531a9c0-669a-4629-844b-4d238e775b5f Best, Brian

Need support for welds when suppressing/unsuppressing parts in iAssemblies. They don't survive the provided configuration process. Best, Brian

I remember in Solidworks, when you were in sketch mode within the model, if you were drawing a line, you select the starting point then an ending point, before placing the third end point (or where ever in the line creation string) the cursor was hovered back over the previous point, the line creation would turn into creating an arc. This was so handy while sketching. This prevented the user from constantly having to select between the two commands. This would be handy here as well. I hope this makes sense.

Ben-Cornelius · ‎12-20-2013

When in a sketch mode and even when selecting sketch feature priority 1. when selecting a sketch line or a dimension this does not highlight on the browser. 2.When you right click on a dimension you cant go to edit sketch like you can on a sketch line 3. When you select a sketch line the whole sketch does not highlight

jletcher · ‎12-20-2013

Back when Autodesk cared if their software worked this option worked but now no... Please fix this.... As you can see there are only 2 holes.. And what is funny is in some drawings it does nothing Where is my count? This is why you should not do anything else to Inventor every time you do you mess it up. I wish my Inventor worked again

Would like the option of a rail when using boundary patch

When projecting a view from a section the whole thing shows up in the view thats incorrect it should just be the section thats shows up

Add nesting for Frame Generator

Anonymous · ‎12-19-2013

When Component priority is set as default, if I click on a part or an assembly witch are inside a pattern component, the entire pattern component are selected. It result a lost of time to acces parts and assemblies to modify. I suggest to create 2 kinds of Component priority : one including the selection of pattern component and an other excluding pattern component.
