I have already created a drawing for a component and thought about the complete and correct dimensioning. Now I have to change the component, e.g. "only" add or remove a chamfer. In the drawing, however, the dimensions that were on the edges in question disappear. I have to look through the drawing again and think about which dimensions could have disappeared. Is it possible to do this in such a way that dimensions do not simply disappear, but are shown in red, for example, because they have lost their reference? This is already the case for some, but for others the dimensions disappear completely. Show More

Currently in Inventor 2023 I have to make my sketch visible in order to promote my dimension so the become visible as annotation on my 3D model. This is cumbersome and should be improved. Show More

Currently, we can update our "home", "front", and "top" views within a part. Sometimes a designer may have additional "working views" they would like to reference. I would like to be able to save "views" within the view cube to refer to later. This would be especially nice, if it could be implemented into hot-keys for quick referencing. (ctrl+1) for saved view 1 ... for example Show More

Right click, toggle rotation lock, done. Please add this. Show More

Hello,   In the "Replace Position" dialog box, the drop-down list is too narrow to read positional representations     Show More

Hello.   When a new View Representation is created, Inventor presents the option to immediately rename it:     I would like to see this same ability when creating a new Model State. As it is now, Inventor serves up a generic name, such as "Model State1" or "Model StateXX":     I have never used the default name, as it imparts absolutely no information about the state being created.   Thank you.

Finishes need to be able to be derived for mirrored details. Show More

DOUBLE CLICK Show More

I would like to have the Finish feature to be copied so I only have to change for example the color or coating so you don't have to select all faces again. Show More

Hi all! As a dedicated user of and developer for Inventor and Vault related products, I am reaching out with a pressing concern. The landscape of software development is rapidly evolving, and we've noticed a growing challenge: third-party libraries are increasingly dropping support for .NET Framework. This will presents a significant obstacle for developers working with Autodesk Inventor products in the nearby future, hindering seamless integration of their solutions. To address this issue and future-proof our development environment, I urgently request the migration of APIs for all Inventor-related Autodesk products to .NET 5 and beyond. This strategic move would not only resolve compatibility issues but also unlock a multitude of advantages for both developers and end-users introduced in later .NET versions and third party libraries available for those versions. While I understand the challenges associated with such a migration, the long-term benefits for us developers are invaluable. Your commitment to embracing the latest technologies will not only keep Autodesk products relevant but also empower developers to create more innovative and efficient solutions. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this critical matter!     Best regards,   Alain Miltenburg Show More

I miss the ability in Autodesk Inventor to open the related file directly from the ballooning. I have created my selves an add-in for that. Maybe a good idea for the Autodesk Inventor team to implement it in future releases. @johnsonshiue   Show More

Hi! The Content is  now:   Assembly Drawing Part Presentation   No one needs "Presentation" all day long, but "Sheet Metal" is needed. Or make the selection customizable.         Show More

Right click on the part, easy access to Iproperties and do modifications :    Show More

The ability to link balloons within drawing notes and leader text. Often one refers to a ballooned item in notes. This should be parametrically linked so that if the balloon number changes the notes are updated.   Currently this is manually entered.   Show More

Requested Ability:  Add an 'option' that we can enable to the drawing document settings to automatically copy all custom iProperties from 'the model' to the drawing.   When we have a drawing (or drawing template) open, we can go to the Tools tab, Options panel, and click the Document Settings tool to open that dialog.  Then on the Drawing tab of that dialog, we can click the 'Copy Model iProperty Settings...' button, to open that dialog, like so. Within that dialog, we currently have the ability to automatically have some, or all iProperties copied from 'the model' to the drawing.  I want an additional checkbox control added to this dialog, that will designate that I want all custom iProperties copied from 'the model' to the drawing. I do not want to copy all 'standard' iProperties from the model to the drawing, just the specific ones I selected.  But copying all of the custom iProperties from the model to the drawing will not hurt anything, and would make many things sooooo much easier.  The drawing template document does not know what specific custom iProperties may be present/available within a future model document that I may create a drawing view of, therefore there is no way to specify specific ones ahead of time within the template drawing.  I used to use VBA macros, then have been using  iLogic rules and Event Triggers to accomplish this functionality for years, but it is time to fix this situation.  Please add this additional optional control to this dialog, and support its functionality.  This should not be that difficult to implement, since fairly simple iLogic code can do it.     Show More

So I've been using folders lately to try to organize my assemblies a bit. However if I'm trying to edit a part I would usually click on it and find it highlighted in the tree. However when the part is in a folder you won't see it unless you have the folder expanded. Can it be made so the whole folder will highlight if it's closed and contains the selected part?   You can see in the image below I have a panel selected. It's in the folder as shown but there's no way to know that unless the folder was expanded.   Show More

Please change the default file format when exporting images. The default is BMP and makes unnecessary big files. PNG or JPEG would be a much better choice. They are available but each restart of inventor brings back the BMP filetype by default.  Show More

It would be helpful to be able to change a parameter name at the time you create the dimension.  As it is now, you have to do it in the Parameters dialog box.  There they are displayed in a spreadsheet style format.  If you are renaming several parameters, it is difficult to know which one you want to rename without first determining in the sketch what the default name was (do, d17, d32, etc.)   Show More
