Currently when creating holes, we have the options for Drilled, Counterbore, Spot face and Countersunk from the top only.   It could be beneficial to have these same options to add features to the bottom of the same hole.   As requested by : Anonymous on 5/9/2013 Show More

It would be truly helpful to have the possibility to insert standard bolted connections to models within frame generator. I know that there is software like Tekla structures and Autodesk structual detailing, but you don't have to design whole buildings before it is necessary to use bolted connections. Most smaller scale structures needs to be shipped in containers and assembled on site.    Original Author: Anonymous on Nov 25, 2013   Show More

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

Sometimes, i forgive to uncheck the construction button when i drawing in part environnement. And when i make a offset, it's very boring : ctrl+z - uncheck construction - re-offset.   I think, it will be useful, right after make a line or other geometry, to have a little pop-up next to the cursor with construction button or even axe button and if i click on, it will be change my geometry type.   And if the result is what i want, the pop-up will just disapear if i put my cursor on other way     Show More

Add the same thing as Fusion: shortcut menu. I know we have a radial menu, but Fusion has it too, and it works very well. And if you want to keep the "s" shortcut for sketch, keep it ! but give to other the possibility to have this, even on other key shortcut.         Show More

Hello. I don't know if the topic has already been discussed or not. Working in INVENTOR, the undo function works up to 30 undos for the entire program. I think that when working on several windows, an interesting solution would be the ability to undo for each window separately. Example: We work in window no. 1 for some time. Then we create a part in window no. 2. We assemble the assembly in window no. 3. It turns out that several operations performed on the part in the first window should be undone. And we have a problem, because currently the program gives us the ability to go back about 30 steps (in total) not for each window separately.     Witam. Nie wiem, czy temat był już poruszany czy nie. Pracując w programie INVENTOR, funkcja cofnij działa do 30 cofnięć na cały program. Uważam, że pracując na kilku oknach ciekawym rozwiązaniem, byłaby możliwość cofnięcia dla każdego okna z osobna. Przykład: Pracujemy w oknie nr 1 jakiś czas. Potem tworzymy część w oknie nr 2. Składamy zespół w oknie nr 3. Okazuje się, że kilka operacji wykonanych na części w oknie pierwszym, należałoby cofnąć. I mamy problem, ponieważ obecnie program daje nam możliwość cofnięcia się o około 30 kroków (w sumie) nie dla każdego okna z osobna.  Show More

It would be useful to be able to insert the local spreadsheet that controls the model states of the parts/assemblies into the accompanying drawing. This is important when building a tabulated drawing and you get to the point where you are manually duplicating what is already in the model state spreadsheet. 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..

Witam. Nie wiem, czy temat był już poruszający się czy nie. Pracując w programie INVENTOR, funkcja cofnij działa do 30 cofnięć na cały program. Uważamy, że pracując na kilku ciekawych funkcjach, udostępnienie możliwości cofnięcia dla każdego okna z osobna. Przykład: Pracujemy w oknie nr 1 jakiś czas. Potem tworzymy część w oknie nr 2. Tworzy zespół w oknie nr 3. ustala się, że kilka operacji kontrolnych na części w pierwszym oknie, sprawdzane. Mamy problem, ponieważ bieżący program daje nam cofnięcie się o około 30 kroków (w sumie) nie dla każdego okna z osobna.    Cześć. Nie wiem, czy temat był już poruszany, czy nie. Funkcja cofania w programie INVENTOR umożliwia cofnięcie do 30 zmian w całym programie. Myślę, że podczas pracy na kilku oknach ciekawym rozwiązaniem byłaby możliwość cofnięcia zmian dla każdego okna osobno. Przykład: Przez jakiś czas pracujemy w okienku nr 1. Następnie tworzymy część w oknie nr 2. Dokonujemy montażu w okienku nr 3. Okazuje się, że należy cofnąć kilka operacji wykonanych na części w pierwszym okienku. I tu pojawia się problem, bo obecnie program daje nam możliwość cofnięcia się o około 30 kroków (łącznie) a nie dla każdego okna osobno. Show More

Please, if you ever take any of my ideas seriously, please take this one.  I would like for you to make flexible dynamic parts.  Imagine a spring, where you could stretch it through its range of motion.  You could constrain both sides with possibly a work axis, and show the actual contraction of a spring, etc.  This is just a simple example, but it could be used for a Ton of other uses.  Even cases, where you don't really want to make an assembly, such as in a piston, where you can drag on the rod to show the stroke, etc.  I see no reason why you couldn't make this happen.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE OFFSET OPTION IN EXTRUDE. WOULS AVE A LOT OF UNNECESSARY COMMANDS INSTEAD OF OFFSETTING A PLANE . PROJECTING LINES AND THEN MORE SKETCKING. IF SKETCK CAN BE DONE IN ONE SKETCH AND THE OFFSET FROM PLANE COMMAND WAS THERE. WITH OPTION TO REVERSE .WOULD BE A BIG TIME SAVER. LIKE SOLIDWORKS Show More

would be nice to see a bidirectional offset in sketching mode instead of doing command twice. and have option of closing off ends  with either a line or arc.like solidworks Show More

Hi,   Customers would like to have the possibility to set a default setting for "Feature Conversion". Today "Weld preparations" are the default setting, the same for "Weld Bead Material".     Please provide the possibility in a future Inventor release!   Many thanks!   Matthias Schindler | CAD/CAM/PDM technical specialist | Premium Plan Postsales and technical specialist at Show More

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

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

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

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
