Today’s post we will look at simple customization of our toolbars inside of Inventor. This will allow the end user to have quicker access too some of the most common functionality that they use inside of Inventor today.

This new plug-in into Inventor and Inventor LT 2012 can provide near real time feedback to design decisions you make, while you are developing the plastic product. You will get direct feedback on how the design desisions impact the manufacturability, cost and sustainability of the product. The easy to interpret feedback can ensure that the design process moves in the right direction and that the part is developed to conform to plastic part design guidelines.

I have run across a common misconception about the Factory Design Suite and that is it’s ability to work with elevations. This post will talk about a few different ways to work with elevations and some of the functionality that lives inside of this unique set of tools. The main tool I will use is creating sub-layouts that I relate back to layers but really they are sub-assemblies. When creating a sub-layout you have the ability to offset the original flush constraint (consider it a work plane) any positive or negative distance. Take a look at the video and like always if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the cadgeek team. CAD.Geeks@tatatechnologies.com

Many of our customers often wait to start using the newest releases of Autodesk and other software products until a service pack has been released. If you happen to work for one of these companies it’s time to start pushing for your new installs. Autodesk has been releasing the service packs for a variety of their programs. What is a service pack:
A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Many companies, such as Autodesk, typically release a service pack when the number of individual patches to a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit. Installing a service pack is easier and less error-prone than installing a high number of patches individually, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network.
Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc. They may also bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.
