No Thanks, I’ll Defer….with Autodesk Inventor 2009

Updates, that is. If you are using Inventor Professional or Routed Systems to design cable and harnesses, you may want to take advantage of a new feature in 2009. You now have the ability to defer the automatic update that would take place if you were to make an edit. If you have a large assembly or are in the beginning process of your design and not sure where everthing fits yet, this could be a time consuming process everytime you make a change. You also have the ability to defer the BOM length update, further speeding your process time.

Although this isn’t a large assembly, you get the idea…

Another productivity enhancement from our friends at Autodesk.
