Sketch constraint - Relax Mode

• Relax Mode - F11• Relax dragging• Relax settings• Disable Relax Mode• Constraint Filters• Preserve dimensions with equation

Tips:Relax constraint on rectangle to create non parallel face

AGSAGS

Sketch Constraints

• Enhanced Inference• Display on creation• Show when selected• Delete Selected• Horizontal & Vertical 2D

constraint shows which way is which on placement

• Constraint Settings Application Options

AGSAGS

Sketch Enhancements

AGSAGS

Assembly – Frame Generator

• Frame Generator – Member Reuse• Window selection & Browser roll-up• Supports end treatments• Re-orientation controls Reverse Direction• Break Re-use• Conflict Handling• Supports demotion (via Source)

AGSAGS

Simplification

• Easier to discover, more than a BIM workflow

AGSAGS

Large Assembly

• Express Mode• Drawing Views

• Task Scheduler (Batch convert all drawing views to precise views)

• Fast Open

AGSAGS

Express Mode• Create Component (in place) • Use the section view command • Create / Edit Work Features • Create / Edit Sketches • Pattern Component • Copy Component• Mirror Components • Assemble • Point Cloud commands

AGSAGS

Drawing Workflows in 2015Workflow Why would I use it? What can I do? What is Inventor doing?

Fast Open Viewing, simple create/edit that doesn’t require the model

Create dimensions and text Avoids loading any model information

Raster Views Best performance for large assembly drawings

Create views, create annotations*

Loads only Express data until precise model is required

Precise Views Create best quality hidden line drawing views

No restrictions Loads precise geometry definition for creating hidden line representation

Defer Update Avoid updating the drawing to reflect changes to the model

Used in combination with either Raster or Precise views (see above)

Suppresses view and annotation updates
