Clint Brown's Autodesk Blog
This blog post is something that I have been wanting to share for some time, it is definitely a topic that should be given some serious consideration when creating iLogic configurations. What exactly am I on about? When creating Assembly and Drawing files in Inventor, there is the potential to create several thousand files every... Continue Reading →
