What about having a Driven Constrain Like Driven Dimension ??   We use supress constrain to disable constrain, likewise it will be handy if have Driven Constrain.. Show More

I can not count the number of times I have heard an Autodesk employ or Autodesk Reseller use the following phrase. "Oh you are not following the correct workflow process"   This may be more of a bitch fest but it is still a very valid comment. If there are specific "workflow" steps that should be followed do you think there could be some consistency in your so called workflow.   I guess if I had to ask for one request it would have to be clean up the next release of this software before I through myself out the wiindow.   If I had to go into everything that I have am issue with I would spend weeks writing this post. This is far from a Bata software so why are us Cad users the ones testing and finding problems. Should the billion dollor giant take on that task and stop supplying such a half assed product.   I know if I did this I would not have a job for very long. Show More

If there an option to load required ribbon setup accoiding to projects. it will be a very handy stuff for the designer.   In Inventor 2014, customized ribbon is disappearing and a real pain to load every time...   Just an Idea to Have a much better Inventor as User friendly.. Show More

I would like an extra option for all work geometry: It should be possible to create new work geometry and set it to Invisible automatically after cereation. After all, you can select it in the browser if you need it. And that option would save you the extra work to disable its visibility in each instance where you use it as a component in an assembly.

Bring ERP functionality directly into Inventor as opposed to through Vault.  Vault functionality with SAP for example is good but Inventor functionality with SAP would be great. Show More

While the idea of having multi character aliases seems to be nice at first glance, if I think about it that is rather unnecessary. For me the aliases are an important tool to speed up my work. E.g. typing “d“ starts the dimension command. Having to confirm the shortcut with an extra key stroke is kinda counter-productive. I would rather see only single character aliases. I am aware that there is a setting to use only single characters. However, in the last versions of Inventor the setting was occasionally ignored. And now with version 2014 it has gotten worse. After every program start I have to run to the settings and reset all keyboard commands to get my single character behaviour back.   Rajko Schmidt Show More

I don't think this can be done, if I'm wrong please delete.   Why can't a model/assembly be created as an iPart/iAssembly, set up a FEA simulation on the parent part, then let Inventor run a batch simulation over night on all the children.   And produce reports so the results can be seen the next day.   I don't think it would be necessary to create all the child parts, although that might be necessary.   Show More

Since switching to Inventor 2013 I have been noticing some slowdowns that seem like they are related to the new materials and appearance library’s that have been set up at my company.   I have done some testing and everything looks right.   Our department has a high end network and computers so hardware is not the issue.  Currently I am only comparing our Inventor stations performance between versions 2012 vs 2013.   It would be nice if Inventor had an add-in that could run thru your Inventor stations application settings while also checking project files so it could evaluate your station for possible issues impacting performance.   This add-in could list what errors/performance improvements could be made to your Inventor station - some ideas:   Part template load time: a)     Displays what is ideal vs. what is current b)     Checks for style issues c)     Lists possible reasons for slow load d)     Gives improvement recommendations   Project file: a)     Checks materials library for errors b)     Check appearance library c)     Checks library paths d)     Lists errors in paths / recommended number of material-appearance library?   The goal of this add-in would be to equip the user with application specific performance measurables so they can modify specific settings providing them with optimal Inventor performance.   No one wants to spend hours figuring these changes out and the befit to each user over the course of time would be huge.   This would be similar to Webmaster tools for a website.

I would like 2 things.<br>1. The option to create a mirror image of a sheet metal part from the part factory environment. The flat pattern options are there but has no real use to create the opposite hand parts.<br>2. When a sheet metal part requires a mirror image. I need the option to mark it as a second part of the parent part. My BOM/parts list quantity will show qty 2. One for the parent and one for the opposite hand. Each time I have a parts list showing "part#_m" I have to manually alter the parts list & hide the child part and override the qty. Show More
