We have all seen all the great new features in Inventor 2011. If it’s the dynamic input when sketching or the heads up display when using modeling features they are all very cool. We often forget about the little things at times that can save us extra picks and clicks and one of those lives in our sketching environment. A simple right click while sketching will give us the option to automatically close our sketch. Let’s take a look at the video for an example.

When using iLogic our imagination is one of the few limits of the functionality. Today I take a look at using select case in a very simple fashion. You can use these same ideas to test multiple variations within your design. The case structure lets you choose between more than two alternatives. Let’s take a look at my example.

I am going to take a look at writing a rule within iLogic that is going to allow me to control minimum and maxium values for a given parameter. The best part is I can take advantage of the rules wizard found within iLogic to basically write the rule for me.
