Easy Collaboration with Shared Views
One of my favourite new features in Autodesk Inventor 2019 has to be "Shared Views". The ability to share a 3D model with almost anyone on practically any device, makes this really powerful. "Shared Views" add the ability to gather design feedback from teams outside of your organisation, and because it's cloud native, there's no... Continue Reading →
Inventor – Sharing Hole Pre-sets
Autodesk Inventor 2019 introduced a new hole tool interface, and allowed users to create hole pre-sets. Pre-sets save users time when specifying new holes. By default Hole pre-sets are stored locally, this location could be set to a network location, allowing multiple users to access the same pre-sets. Simply save your current hole pre-sets to...

Inventor Quick Tip: Sketch Region Properties
Within the "Sketch" environment in Autodesk Inventor, there is a really handy "Region Properties" tool which calculates properties of selected sketch regions. The calculations performed are; Area, Perimeter, Centroid, Inertia Tensor, Polar Moment of Inertia, Area Moments of Inertia and Radii of Gyration. To access "Region Properties", you must have a sketch active (i.e. you need to be editing... Continue Reading →
Electro-Mechanical Workflows can be easy!
In traditional engineering design processes, electrical and mechanical design workflows have often been separate from each other. This has mainly been down to the tool sets used to create these designs. The Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection changes all of this. It comes packed with tools that make collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams... Continue Reading →
Structural Calculations in Autodesk Inventor?
We are about half way through having an extension added to our home. A lot of the project has involved structural work and some pretty heavy steel work. I employed a structural engineer to do all of the calculations and specify the steel beams that are ultimately going to support the structure. The scary part... Continue Reading →
