Original Author:   MattH_Work     Whilst I appreciate that we cannot move features up & down the browser without changing the Part (we are free to move components up & down in the Assembly, therefore browser folder 'restructurng' has no impact), it would be nice to have a second browser (ala the Vault browser) where we can sort, reorder, add to folders, the content of a file (group all extrusions, revolves, sketches etc) Even if this was just a visual  display of the 'sorted' feature tree with no editing capability (maybe a right click option to 'Goto Feature' in main browser for editing) it would make it easier for finding, renaming etc Show More

Original author: jletcher   Match list for iMates    Can we get this fixed..  If I have a Match List set up there is a reason I want the imate to go to the matching imate ONLY...    If I have a nut I have an imate 1/4-20 nut in my holes I put 1/4-20 nut on the other side of the hole I have one called Spacer.    When I place my nut I don't want it to attach to Spacer but to the MATCHING imate.    What good is the list if it will snap to anything?    Match means Match nothing more.    On my spacer I have one called spacer and one with support bar, support channel, Plate, etc.....    The issue is when I tell it to do all matching imates guess what happens.    It may be good to have a pick match option when placing.    If I want one  to match to plate I pick plate if I want the 1/4-20 nut I pick 1/4-20..    Then you can really use this feature as it should not half baked...  Thank you..   PS a hotfix or SP would be nice to make this work right..

It would be beneficial to have a slot call out tool that worked with the Hole/Thread note feature on drawings. As it is, slots must be called out manually. Show More

When placing an iLogic Component you have the option to link parameters from the main assebly to the component that you are creating. It would be helpfull that if you have parameters with the same name Inventor would suggest that name as an initial solution.   current solution   proposed solution   Show More

It should be possible to directly copy and paste materials and appearances between parts without having to temporarily add them to a library and get them from there. Show More

Right now the split feature reads the "Tool" as a plane (meaning there is no start or beginning of the "Tool"). This can cause issues if I am just wanting to split one portion of the solid body. There should be an option or way to say you want to treat the "Tool" as a plane (no start or end) or a line (defined start and end). For example, if I have a pipe that I did a sweep to get the overall path. Then I draw a line where I want to split the pipe (at the miter location). Once I select that line as the "Tool" it actually reads it as a plane and splits everything that it would intersect.     Show More

It would be nice if I could hover over an edge or a surface, and it would snap to select the nearest possible point to my cursor on edge, curve, surface as a measure to (or measure from) location. Show More

When using the new fold command, the choices are “Flip Side” and “Flip Direction”. Whenever I modify in the model tree, the “flip side” is grayed out. Is this a bug? Show More

When we create the IPT that will be used for an IDE file, we can change the line type, weight, and color of individual lines that will be used for the IDE 2D sketch representation. However, once we convert that to an IDE file, it keeps the sketch but none of the formatting will carry over to the IDE. It would be useful to have the IDE file keep the formatting of that sketch that way nesting programs can read the different line types.  (IPT file) (IDE FILE)   Show More

There should be an option to have two parts list of the same assembly but have different BOM Views. In one Parts List, I need to show the "Structured" BOM View. In a second Parts List, I need to show the "Parts Only" BOM View.     Show More

It would be incredibly beneficial to have a wider variety of text border formats available when annotating drawings and models. Currently, the options for text borders are somewhat limited, which can constrain how effectively we can highlight important notes or differentiate between various types of information. By introducing more text border formats, we could improve the clarity and visual appeal of our documentation. Benefits of Expanded Text Border Formats: Enhanced Clarity: Different border styles can help emphasize critical information, making it stand out for easier reference. Improved Organization: Categorizing notes and annotations using distinct border formats can streamline the review process. Aesthetic Appeal: More formatting options allow for cleaner and more professional-looking documents, which is beneficial when sharing with clients or stakeholders. Easier Compliance with Technical Standards: A wider range of text border options helps meet technical documentation standards more effectively, ensuring that documents adhere to industry norms and regulations. Implementing this feature would not only enhance user experience but also increase productivity by reducing the time spent on workarounds to achieve the desired text presentation. Show More

There would be added benefit to the Associated Feature Pattern if it could handle circular patterns. I want to pattern this angle to each hole, but keep the origin plane always passing though the center point. Since the holes are not symmetrical I cannot do a circular pattern. However when I do an associated feature pattern, the orientation are dependent of the first angle placed.     Show More

It would be very useful to be able to asign different materials to different bodies inside of an part.ipt. Reasoning: we are working with electronic engineers and they exchange with us their project as step file. This step file is an assembly with many parts and different pcbs. In order to keep things clean and tidy we derive their assembly in to a single part, multi-body part, as this helps to deal with BOM later on. The problem is, because it is one multi-body part, the weight is being calculated wrong because pcb and electronic components have different masses. Show More

I have a model, and I have it positioned and sectioned, also ortho/perspective, the way I want it on a drawing view. It would be great if I could save this view, give it a name, and recall it later on in  drawing.   View representations won't do this in this easy way.   https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/use-a-view-from-model-environnement-in-drawing/m-p/13164071#M941192 Show More

It would be nice to have the option of having multiple revision tables on one sheet. We may go through multiple customer revisions before we sent it to the shop so the first time the shop sees the drawing, they do not want to see "Rev 3". Show More

References 1 and 2 should be able to come from the same piece if necessary without create plan !  And we must have the possibility to constraint 2 faces between 2 other without create another plan in my part.   On the video :  If i select first blue and red faces, and yellow and green in second, the yellow/green should be in the middle of red/blue   Show More

There should be a way to have two different parts list of the same assembly, but allow the cells to show different values. For example I want to have one part list that shows ITEM as 1 and 2. Then I want another part list that has ITEM as "-" for both. A     Show More

Would be great to add the ability to derived in addition to Solid also flat pattern. In the case of operations performed on the flat pattern in the original document, this would allow them to be automatically taken over in the derived part Show More
