User Manual

Design and Manufacturing Documentation

Autodesk Inventor includes comprehensive tools to generate

engineering and manufacturing documentation from the

digital prototype. These tools can help users reduce errors

and deliver designs in less time.

Automatic Drawing Views

Dramatically reduce drawing creation time over

traditional D methods. Automatic drawing views

enable users to

• Call out the views needed on the drawing sheet,

including front, side, ISO, detail, section, and

auxiliary views, and let Inventor project the geom-

etry with comprehensive options for controlling

hidden-line display at the component level

• Retrieve dimension data from the D model to

quickly place the dimensions, including isometric

view dimensions, and let Inventor update the di-

mensions when changes are made to the D model

• Use a comprehensive set of dimension,

annotation, and D symbols for quick and ﬂexible

completion of the drawing set

• Create overlay drawing views that illustrate

various potential states of assemblies

• Access support for technical drawing standards,

including ANSI, BSI, DIN, ESKD, GB, ISO, and JIS

Inventor takes the pro-

duction of manufacturing

documentation to the

next level of productivity

through automatic gen-

eration of drawing views

and tools for ﬁnishing

drawings.

And, with support for all

major drawing standards,

full associativity with the

D model (so drawings

update when the design

changes), and output in

the DWG format, Inventor

is the best choice for

creating and sharing DWG

drawings.
