Please update Inventor Studio enviroment. It's the poorest module in Inventor at the moment.   It would be great to do the things that we used to do in Showcase (same things, same quality, same speed, same facility) in Inventor.   It would be great to create high quality renderings in Inventor in a short time and with simple settings.   It would be great to create movies and animation, in realisting high quality, in a short time with very simple settings.   We need an intuituve way to create animation, like Showcase did.   It would be great work in a a real time rendering enviroment.   It would be great to animate constraint easily.   It would have been great to dismiss Inventor Studio instead Showcase                         Show More

The new Job Processor, on 2018.2, with Inventor Server is a great feature. Currently, the Inventor Server is not supported the iLogic addin. It would be really great if it support even the iLogic addin. So during the job process, the Inventor Server can execute some iLogic rule to have a dynamic Job Processor output. Show More

As per title. I'd like to be able to reverse or mirror an existing frame member in Frame Generator. There are instances where I use frame members with holes or end treatments in both RH & LH fashion. If I modelled a Right Hand member then used Copy Design it would be easy to just mirror the member to create a Left Hand version retaining any holes or end treatments.   Show More

In Inventor 2019, creating new Preset will help to copy hole settings from one to another as shown below. This should work in part, assembly and API (iLogic, VB.Net)     Show More

It would be nice when resolving links for missing parts if any are skipped the assembly would put the same symbol on the sub assemblies that have missing components in then. It currently puts the symbol on missing parts with a dark gray icon but nothing for assemblies and therefore you have to open them separately to find out which one has a problem.     Show More

The new transfer settings function in 2019 is great ... we've been waiting for that for a while.  Unfortunately, it doesn't transfer any of your iLogic settings including external rule locations etc...   It would be great if the transfer settings option in 2019 could be updated to include all iLogic settings.

Hi All,   If I work with assemblies which are machined in the assemblie ( i.e. holes) the holes will not appear in the 3D-PDF, because Inventor ignore all modifications of assemblies.   This causes additional work by creating a derived part which have to be used for creating of the 3D-PDF. The disadvantage of this workaround is the missing functionality of the model explorer.   Please add this functionality.   Best Regards Kai Show More

In Inventor export dialogue is missing the option to include  all work features to exported files. It is interesting that when I import any exchange files, the import option for work features in the dialogue appears. I   It seems that the translator is only able to read (import) the work features but it is not able to export them. Please improve the translator!  Include the same export option as it is in import dialogue. This way the planes, axis  and points can be transferred to other software. It is important for fixture and measure jigs manufacturers who need to use the  work features   as limits, measure points, for constraints etc. We would like to provide them with a set of work features in exported format to avoid design mistakes. Now we have to  open our IPT models (which include work features) with Creo, save them as (STP, IGES, SAT, STL and others) files including work features and send them to our collaborator, supplier, vendor etc. for next work. It is obvious that exchange files can comprise  work features and some translators can export (not only import) them. Why Autodesk does not implement it?   Archived old idea (without solution) is here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/export-work-features-as-step-files-planes-and-axis/idi-p/6269890   It was also discussed at  Inventor Forum (without solution) here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/exporting-work-planes-points-and-axis/m-p/2079175#M273219   Why Autodesk lets his competitors beat him in this field? And push his customers to use competitive software?

It would be great to see the value of the parameters when calling them through dropdowns. Currently its only the parameter name shown but including the value after the parameter name would be extremely beneficial to identify which parameter is needed. We cant always remember the name but we do know the values.     Nacho Show More

I would like the ability to retrieve 3D model annotations nested in a child component as I can do with Sketch and feature dimension selecting a part. More general approach could be the ability to promote the sub-component 3D model annotations to main assembly annotations in assembly environment. Show More

The Parts List Style options should include the ability to adjust line format just like on the rest of the table styles (general table, revision table).   For General Tables you can format the inner and outer lines separately.  However, in the Parts List Style settings you do not get that control.  This results in tables that are inconsistent in a drawing if you're adjusting it in other tables.   For example, maybe all your tables have a thicker outer border to separate them visually from the rest of a drawing or from other tables nearby.  Or, possibly you want to adjust the inner lines to make them lighter in color than the outer ones.    While you can adjust the format of the layer a Parts List is on, that changes all lines in a table, not just the inner or outer ones.     General Table Style - line format is adjustable Parts List Style - line format does not exist     Show More

In the assembly environment when we click on place it would great if it would populate with recently or currently open parts/sub-assemblies that way without leaving the assembly environment we would be able to build an assembly.   The current method required to flick back and forth to copy and paste.

When copying an assembly to a new part number, the harnesses are not allowed to be copied over. It would be great to allow the copying of the cables over the same way that allow other parts and assemblies are copied. Show More

It would be nice if the Thicken/ Offset Tool would have the option to extend to a point or surface like in the Extrude extents option. Show More

I suggest you to release vertical and horizontal alignments in drawing ambient; so one alignment should not deactivate the other one. many times I have to align some section or detail views by eye every time I move them. it could be very easy if horizontal and vertical alignments work simultaneously.

I created 3-model of the block.     Next, I need to prepare a set of documents for the manufacture and installation of the object. I created an assembly drawing and a specification.     Set of project documents includes a table for connecting wires and cables. According to these data, wires and cables are laid and connected. Now I can get data on wires and cables only in the CSV format. It is very necessary to create a report on wires and cables in DWG-format with the title block.       Show More

I'd like to create four side, but we have to do it one by one. Hopefully we could select four side at once.   Show More

When inserting a view in an idw, we have three options for View Style: with hidden lines, without hidden lines and shaded.  In assembly mode though there are many other options for how the assembly is displayed:  ie Watercolor, Sketch Illustration, Technical Illustration...   I'd like to see these View Styles also available for idw files.   Reason:  I'm creating pages for a catalog.  I will create the page in Inventor than export to pdf.  The various pdf files will then be combined/added to the master catalog file.  The standard views though are not how we'd like the assemblies to display.  I'm taking care that the files are not too detailed.   Thanks!   Chris Breidenbaugh Cadi Company, Inc.
