Autodesk Inventor iLogic is the cornerstone for design automation. With the Inventor 2019 release, component management has become easy. The new iLogic design rules allow you to use instructions that will build the assembly from the bottom up. This eliminates the need to create a master assembly with all the possible options. With the old workflow, the design rules would suppress components to generate the final result. Now we can start with an empty assembly and build the required design depending on the options and parameters. This offers much more flexibility in generating design configurations. This class will start with the Inventor iLogic basics, to finish with an example of component management. A basic understanding of Inventor parametric design is required.
