To provide for maximum flexibility, the standard Autodesk Inventor Annotate
and Place Views tabs are available from the nailboard environment. Using
these features, however, is not recommended. We recommend that you create
another view and make annotations as needed until the view contains the
entities you require.
Pause your cursor over the commands to view the tooltips.
The commands on the Nailboard panels include:
Enters edit mode allowing easy access to the nailboard
sketch.
Edit Nailboard Sketch
Fixes a point as a pivot point for the purpose of arran-
ging the wires, segments, and ribbon cables.
Pivot
Equally distributes wire or cable wire stubs about the
endpoint of the segment based on the specified angle
and sorting direction.
Fan Out
Collapses all wires or cable wires onto each other to
form one entity that emerges from the endpoint of the
Fan In
segment. It is displayed using the characteristics of the
longest wire or the segment.
Removes the specified length from the selected wire
or segment to shorten the object to fit in the drawing.
Broken Sketch Entity
Like the standard General Dimension command,
however, the dimension values on the wires, segments,
Harness Dimension
and ribbon cables are overridden by the adjusted length
values from the harness assembly.
Inserts the harness properties onto the nailboard.Property Display
Accesses the report generator from within the nailboard
for creation of report files that can be used for annot-
ating the drawing.
Report
Places one, some, or all connector views. You can spe-
cify the display characteristics for placement.
Place Connector
Views
Accesses the standard Autodesk Inventor Drawing
Manager command within the nailboard environment
for placement of connectors.
