I like to see a notch solution for this types of issues:     Solution maybe something like a checkbox within The Notch feature.   (Checkbox) Cut perpendicular to smallest intersection   Show More

When creating a broken view on a long shaft, the two options available are Rectangular or Structural which is fine for rectangular shaped parts, but would be nice to have an option to create the 'S' shaped broken view for round parts like long round shafts, see attachment Show More

The following image shows what's wrong with projections of Detail views in a drawing:     This should be corrected so that cut lines from the detail's boundary aren't projected, and the actual cut lines through the part are made jagged to indicate the part continues. Show More

Hello, I would like to have thread feature in the assembly environment.  Thanks Dan Show More

It would be a nice option if the browser automatically scrolled to the part I have selected, rather than having to click "Find in browser".  The selected part already highlights in the browser but if you happen to be north or south of it in the browser you have to click "Find in browser".  Instead, just make the browser scroll to the highlighted part.  Have this as an auto-scroll option that could be turned on or off.

Whenever I add an angled hole using the On Point placement option, it always leaves a small wedge of material left over at the top of the hole.  So, I have to go and create a second hole with the same options, except I have to "flip" the direction to cut out that small wedge.  I end up creating two hole features to get one hole the way I want it.  Why not eliminate the "flip" button and add the same direction buttons that we use in the extrude feature?  The options "Direction 1", "Direction 2", "Symmetric" and "Asymmetric".   Show More

Maybe this has already been proposed as an idea, but I did not find it.  I know in Solidworks, you can assign a different material to each solid body. It is time this became a reality with in Inventor. For accurate multi-body parts that reqiure correct weight calculations, this is a must. Show More

We often make custom laser cut guard panels.  To do so we have to create the hole pattern we use laid out on the panel as we want to see it so we can get a cut path for the laser.  Very rarely do we create a panel that is just square with no other cutouts.  Many time these have cuts holes and odd shapes to the panels.  So when we create a hole pattern for the mesh guard we want we need to suppress many many holes to set it up while keeping a  border around the pattern.  It woul be nice if there was some way that we could say create this patten on this face keeping at least 1" of space between the edges of the part and the hole pattern.  See the attached pic for a simple guard I am currently drawing.  Anyone else think this might be useful?   Show More

If you choose a horizontal constraint and you realize that you need a vertical constraint, then you need to select the vertical constraint. Despite the fact that we are now in 2015 get a preview to see what is horizontal or vertical. Add a CTRL action, so that horizontal changes to vertical as soon as you press the CTRL. Ditto for vertical to horizontal constraint. Show More

Hello When you create, you can choose constraint to the midpoint of the line, and when you put dimension is impossible. Why not do it for dimension.       Show More

Hello, Have you guys seen the new Solidworks slot and tab feature! Autodesk you must bring this feature to Inventor it would be a life saver! We have been loyal to Autodesk for years, but this one feature has us seriously considering a few seats of Solidworks. Check it out, and help push this to the top! https://youtu.be/eBbIE3i7jJw Thanks, Isaac Show More

When there is a lost reference (projected geometry), I would like the option to replace it.   Right now, you have to delete it, select new one, AND then reconstrain.   For the picture below (just to simulate my complaint), I modeled a box, and then created a cut extrusion through it (the circle).  After doing so, I decided to split the box in half, making upper half a solid body, and the lower half a separate solid body. The lost reference is in magenta.     I understand that the reference rightfully is lost, but I want to be able to repair it. Yes, this particular model would be an easy fix, but complex parts could be a pain, ESPECIALLY in top down modeling where there is lots of referencing going on.   Show More

Anyone who has worked in a large drawing office, on large assemblies, which have been worked on by a large variation of people with a large variation of skills, will have sat and watched the spinny circle of doom for minutes and minutes on end.  Go grab a coffee, it might be done before you get back.     It's a daily occurence in my current office, whether it be:   Waiting 10 minutes for an Assembly to open:     Waiting a good few minutes for Inventor to compute an edit to a drawing view:       Waiting a couple of minutes for Inventor to calculate mass properties:       Or my biggest problem, waiting a lifetime for it to perform a geomtery update on an assembly:     The reasons for the delays are probably avoidable, bad modelling, released and/or locked files causing a hold up, large derived parts taking a while to compute, complex calculations on specific files etc etc but the problem is it's a mystery, there's no visual feedback for what it's doing.   Tell me which ones! I honestly don't mind waiting 10 minutes to update a model, if Inventor told me which specific child parts are causing the delay.   I'd like to suggest a progress bar, similar to Vault's Get/Checkout progress bar, show me which files it's processing during these extensive periods of Not Responding downtime.       If I can visually see which file(s) are causing the extended periods of downtime, I can then target them individually and investigate those files.   This would also increase user confidence in the application.  If they're sat waiting 20 minutes for an Assembly to open, rather than have them assume their PC is rubbish or Inventor is slow today, if they could see that actually it's a 300mb derived part being pulled over the network or it's currently stuck opening a complex IPT which they had bother with yesterday, it gives them feedback and info which is infinitely more useful than sitting looking at a not responding spinny circle of doom            Show More
