You can generate a parametric parts list for an assembly. The properties for
each part or subassembly are displayed in the parts list. You can specify the
items you want in the list, such as part number, description, and revision
level. You can edit a parts list.
Creating Dimensions In Drawings
The tools you use to create drawing dimensions are different from the tools
used for model dimensions. When you select a feature or relationship between
features to dimension, Autodesk Inventor creates a horizontal, vertical, or
aligned dimension, depending on the direction you move the cursor. Snap is
activated to help place a dimension at a standard distance from the view and
to align dimensions with each other.
Place Dimensions
You can use two types of dimensions to document your design in a drawing:
model dimensions and drawing dimensions.
Model Dimensions
Model dimensions define the sizes of features. If you change a model
dimension in a drawing, the source component updates to match. Model
dimensions are also referred to as a bidirectional or driving dimensions.
Only model dimensions parallel to the view plane are available in a view. If,
when installing Autodesk Inventor, you select the option, Modify a Model
