integration of CAD systems into production. This is why most companies are refraining from a radical shift from 2D to
3D. They fear that they will not be able to effectively use the previous project documentation, that they will require
large expenses not to retrain, that they will have to review all the processes previously associated with 2D drawings.
Although the benefits of 3D are obvious in the long run, there are concerns that switching to 3D will require too much
effort.
Autodesk Inventor Series provides undeniable benefits.
First of all, the important thing is that your previous 2D developments will be optimally used in the 3D
environment. Autodesk Inventor imports AutoCAD drawings much better than other systems. The reason is obvious:
both systems were developed by Autodesk, which introduced the DWG format. As a result, Autodesk Inventor provides
the ideal way to read drawings in DWG. For example, you can add parameters to an existing “static” 2D geometry or
simply change it; or translate existing 2D geometry into 3D and make it the starting point for new projects.
Secondly, 2D drawings can be obtained from projects done in Autodesk Inventor. This can be done both in
Inventor format and through export in AutoCAD format.
You can also get drawings in AutoCAD Mechanical format, and all layer agreements, etc. will be respected.
Smart Tools Autodesk Inventor also provides a number of features to simplify the design process even further:
iFeatures, iParts, and iMates.
Using iFeatures (intelligent Features), each user can enter elements into the project without programming a
single line. The bottom line is that company -specific details can be saved as a kind of “knowledge library”. Reusing
such elements saves time and increases the degree of standardization of projects.
Assembly of individual parts is facilitated by iMates (“smart articulation”). Geometric relationships are stored in
the data of a particular part. When included in the assembly, the parts themselves find their correct position [15]
Using iParts, the user can create a library of commonly used parts. Parameters can be modified, making iParts an
ideal tool for creating part families.
In addition, Autodesk Inventor includes a large library of standard parts, including fasteners (screws, bolts), as
well as washers and bearings.
For example, often used for decorating sheet metal surfaces, they play a significant role in many machines.
Therefore, Autodesk Inventor has built-in tools for working with them. The software tool, in turn, has built-in modules
for designing metal sheet parts. All such parts can be created in Autodesk Inventor.
Autodesk Inventor was built from the start as an open system. During its development, it was taken into account
that no company can create a comprehensive system "for all and for everyone."
