Autodesk Inventor 10
Edit Alias
®
Freeform Body
Launch Inventor Fusion from within Inventor using Edit
Form or Edit Copy of Form. The Edit Form command
creates an Alias
®
Freeform body which is then loaded
into Inventor Fusion. You can modify the body using
any of the Fusion commands then return the geometry
to Inventor. Inventor Fusion now contains many of
the commands previously available in Alias Design for
Inventor. These features provide technology to reshape
solid body edges and patches, transforming geometric
forms to more organic ones.
Mirror Fillets
Fillet features can now be mirrored without including
the parent feature. You can create symmetric models
using fewer features.
Face Draft Enhancements
Controls are enhanced in the Draft command for adding
draft to a model. These controls speed the creation of
draft features and make it possible to create geometry
that previously required multiple features.
Create a draft feature using a parting line (D or D
sketch) to position the start of the draft. Use separate
angle values above and below the parting line or fixed
plane. With Automatic Face Chain enabled, faces
tangent to the selected face are included in the draft.
Automatic Blending is available for adjacent faces that
blend with a fillet or other feature. Turn on Automatic
Blending to maintain blended geometry. Direct
Manipulation controls are included with the Draft
command.
Display Failed Feature
With Inventor , you can locate failed features easily
for problem solving. In the browser, pause the cursor
over a failed feature to highlight it in the graphics
window in its last successful state.
