What's New
The latest release of Autodesk Inventor brings over 142 enhancements, each carefully crafted to improve user experience, enhance functionality, and streamline design processes, plus over 1330 bug fixes.
|
Part Modeling Several significant enhancements to part modeling capabilities, particularly in the Finish Feature functionality. |
Sheet Metal A modernized interface for designing sheet metal components, making the process more intuitive and efficient than ever before. |
Assembly Modeling Quickly change the color of all parts in your assemblies. Discover a new option for “Oriented Minimum Bounding Cylinder” when using cylindrical envelopes to simplify your assemblies. And speed up fastener placement when creating assembly-level patterns. |
|

|
|
iLogic with Vault Apply iLogic code directly with Vault to copy files, apply numbering schemes, and check out documents. |
Finish utility Use the new finish feature to specify the appearance and manufacturing process such as material coating or surface finish. |
Mark feature enhancements Mark across all faces in your path and wrap around curved geometry with new mark feature options. |
|
|
|
|
|
Drawing revision cloud Isolate areas of special interest with the sketch-based revision cloud feature in the drawing environment. |
View setting improvements Create compelling visual representations of your design with improved view settings, section view enhancements, and IBL environments. |
Tube and pipe enhancements Create custom elbows quickly and easily in the tube and pipe styles area. |
|
Parameter enhancements Include hardness and parameter in expanded unit type export with the option to export Boolean values for custom iProperties. |
Optimized bounding box assembly Automate the orientation and size of bounding boxes for parts with additional angle options in assemblies. |
Connected inspection workflow Create an inspection plan of your design by sending your models directly to Fusion 360. |
|
Weld symbol Create drawing-associated weld and subweld symbols to be included upon export to 3D PDF, DWF, and Shared Views. |
Edge symbol Use the new edge symbol feature with appearance settings based in ISO standards and a properties panel with various customization settings. |
Model-based definition enhancements Explore several improvements to model-based definition for your documentation workflows in the 3D environment. |
