Technical What’s New
Autodesk Inventor 6
Select Other – Behavior Improved
The Select Other procedure in previous Inventor
versions required you to hover your cursor over
an object, and then click the left or right arrows to
toggle between adjacent faces, edges, and features.
Hovering your cursor over an object in Autodesk
Inventor  presents you with a drop-down menu
listing all available selection options. You can eliminate
guesswork and speed the selection process by making
your selection directly from the list.
Dynamic Sectioning
You can offset section planes in a part or assembly
section view. Right-click, and select Virtual Movement
➤ Section Plane 1 (or Section Plane 2). Then: Drag the
section plane to the desired position. Specify on offset
in the Offset dialog box. Place the cursor on the Offset
dialog box, and rotate the mouse wheel to move the
section plane.

In the Model browser, the names of part features
can be extended with information about feature
parameters. Extended feature names enable better
identification of existing part features.
To display extended feature names, on the Browser
Filters menu , select Show Extended Names.
Extended feature names are displayed in the Part, Sheet
