Drive the design intent of your model with sketch constraints, dimensions, and intelligent formulas for parameters.

Assess the fit and function of your assemblies and check for interferences as you build relationships between components.

Quickly place appropriate views and annotations in your drawings for manufacturing in Inventor or AutoCAD.

Share your design with a secure web link that can be accessed from any device to review, redline, and add comments.

Maintain an associative link as you open 3D models that were created and saved from other CAD applications.

Create parametric models, define BIM content, establish product rules, and seamlessly share your products with building design stakeholders through cloud-based collaboration.

Create a simplified 3D representation of your product along with the required metadata and product classification for use in a BIM project.

Quickly access and launch Inventor-to-Fusion workflows, including generative design, simulation, electronics, and manufacturing.

Securely share data between Revit building design software and Inventor using an improved approach for seamless BIM (Building Information Modeling) and MCAD (mechanical CAD) interoperability.

Use the new edge symbol feature with appearance settings based in ISO standards and a properties panel with various customization settings.

Create drawing-associated weld and subweld symbols to be included upon export to 3D PDF, DWF, and Shared Views.

Use the new finish feature to specify the appearance and manufacturing process such as material coating or surface finish.

Apply your engineering knowledge in a customizable form to rapidly configure new designs powered by iLogic.

Use automated tools to create weld frame structures and simulate them using beam elements.

Build your sheet metal designs with options for industry-standard bend allowances to create accurate flat patterns for manufacturing.

Create manufacturing states, simplification levels, and more in the same part or assembly file.

Include 3D dimensions, annotations, and dimensional tolerances directly to your 3D model for downstream applications. 

Choose from standard and customizable content libraries, including beams, bolted connections, gears, cams, belts, and springs.

Further optimize your designs with tools that help you find high and low concentrations of stress in your 3D model.

Maintain associativity for the position and geometry of the target components after they have been mirrored. (38 sec.)

Speed up part modeling with a new interface for patterning bodies and features along with new options for irregular spacing, direction, and more. (33 sec.)

The automated feature used to quickly exclude bodies and features for a simplified representation has been extended to part models. (38 sec.)

Use easy push/pull controls to move, rotate, resize, or scale features from imported geometries.

Freely sculpt the shape of your design by moving points, edges, and faces.

Open DWG™ files directly inside Inventor as the basis for your 3D model.

Use built-in calculators to inform the design of common joints such as welds, clamps, and press fits.

Use a combination of automated tools and full-control design functions in Inventor to build tube and pipe runs.

Integrate your electronics and mechanical designs into a single, complete definition of your product.

Speed up product development with tools that manage data, track revisions, and improve collaboration.

Apply forces to evaluate the motion, speed, and acceleration of your design.

Run quick checks on parts or perform in-depth analysis of the entire product at any stage.

Use exploded views and animations of complex assemblies in product documentation, manuals, and assembly instructions.
