When converting non sheet metal components, the thickness of the sheet is automatically identified to help speeding up the process. Sheet Metal – Zero radius bend as well as multi body sheet metal solids are now supported.If multiple sick constraints exist in a model, design doctor delete or suppress them in one step. During interference checks, crossing windows to select parts and zoom to allow you to see the interferences sooner. When using replace components, multiple parts can be replaced at a time. Assembly Performance – It is now possible to disable Graphics Refinement which makes working in an assembly file much faster.Exploded views are faster to create for drawings and Presentations using Auto Explode.

In a single step, a drawing and base view can be created from a part or assembly file from the browser. Drawing Production – The workflow has been streamlined, first by making notes easier and robust with rich text formatting.The new ability to create shortcut icons for Projects and files means no more hunting for files to open. Details of drawings can be viewed without having to open the files. This is done by allowing the customization of how recent files, projects and templates are viewed. MyHome – With the new Inventor homepage, it is easier to choose a Project and template.The drawing remains associated, showing the up to date features. DWG Underlay geometries can be projected into your Inventor model for easy part creation and assembly constraints. DWG Underlay – Working like an External Reference in AutoCAD, a 2D AutoCAD drawing can be linked and placed into a part or assembly file.The link can also be suppressed or broken if needed.

This allows you to import Solidworks or ProE files without any conversion process, maintain association, and the added bonus of being able to edit part details.
