Technical What’s NewDrawing ManagerAligned Section ViewsGenerate align section views on views where thesection line consist of two or more line segments.Aligned or Projected methods of aligned section viewsare controlled in the Section View dialog box.Dual Units DisplayDual units can be displayed on Hole Notes, ChamferNotes, Bend Notes, Punch Notes, Hole Tables, BendTables, and Punch Tables.The dual units display behavior is controlled by newcontrols on the Alternate Units tab in dimension stylefor all note types.Arrange Dimensions ToolA new command in the Annotate panel enables you toarrange groups of selected dimensions (linear, angular,coordinate, true isometric dimensions).You can select dimensions in the drawing first, andthen execute the Arrange Dimensions command.Alternatively, you can click the Arrange Dimensionscommand first, and then select the dimensions in thedrawings.You can select dimensions that lie along one axis ordimensions arranged along multiple axes.You can arrange dimensions in one or multiple views.Design AcceleratorsDrum Cam GeneratorA new Drum Cam Generator was added to the DesignAccelerator design tools. It is located in the Design tabin Assemblies. It enables you to design and calculatedrum cams, perform the strength check, and insertthem into the assembly.Spur Gear ImprovementsYou can now export exact toothgeometry from spur gears as well asmanually adjust backlash in orderto achieve appropriate working andmanufacturing conditions for your spurgear set.An improved preview option providesanimated previews showing gear teethmesh as well as pinion-to-rack meshand gear-to-rack mesh.O-Ring Generator ImprovementsUsing O-Ring Component Generator you can nowpattern radial and axial O-rings.Bearing Generator EnhancementsA new Orientation button in the Bearing Generatormakes it easy to flip the bearing orientation tosimplify the addition of bearings that must be orientedcorrectly such as tapered and angular contact bearings.The bearing remains in the same position mated tothe same reference plane while the orientation itsorientation is changed by 180 degrees.User-defined Symbol FoldersUse folders to organize your sketch symbols in theDrawing Resources. Define folders under SketchedSymbols and group the appropriate symbols within.If you find that you recreate the same symbol foldersrepeatedly for different drawings, consider using adrawing template with the folders predefined.User-defined symbol folders are represented bydistinctive icons and they exhibit the same open andclose behavior as other Inventor browser folders.11 Autodesk Inventor 2010
Technical What’s NewBill of MaterialsAssembly Level Storage of Custom ColumnsCustom columns are now stored in the assembly file,making it much easier to share custom BOM data.BOM Editor UsabilityThe Bill of Materials dialog box now supports aspreadsheet usage paradigm.• Use the Shift or Ctrl key on your keyboard to controlselection.• Use a grip point in the bottom-right corner of a selectionto expand a single cell or block of cells. If theoriginal selection contains a single row or column,values are copied to the expanded rows or columns.• Copy BOM cells within the BOM table, to anotherBOM view, or to an external editor. Copying preservesBOM formulas.• Drag and drop rows in the BOM table. The functionalityis also available for noncontiguous selection sets.• Commands are available in the context menu (Copy,Paste, Capitalize, Find, and Replace).• Copy and paste data between the Bill of Materialsdialog box and Microsoft Office Excel. Noncontiguousselection sets in the BOM table are supported.Open from BOM EditorUse the Open command to open a part or assemblyfile from the Bill of Materials dialog box. The Opencommand is available in the right-click menu for aselected (highlighted) component in the BOM table.Better Integration of BOM Editor and GraphicsWindowThe BOM Editor has been enhanced so you can nowpan, rotate, and zoom the model while workingin the BOM Editor. In addition, you now see partsand assemblies highlighted when you select thecorresponding cell or row in the BOM dialog box.Similarly, selecting a component in the assemblybrowser or graphic window will highlight thecorresponding row in the BOM dialog.Licensing, Installation, and DeploymentDynamic LicensingCustomers with a mix of Autodesk Inventor seats(Inventor Suite, Simulation, Routed Systems, orProfessional) and who use the network license managertypically install the higher-level Inventor flavor onall machines so that each user can run the version ofInventor that best meets their needs at the time.In the past, switching from one version, such asAutodesk ® Inventor ® Suite software, to anotherversion, such as Autodesk ® Inventor ® Professionalsoftware, required you to close Inventor and restart itagain. With Inventor 2010 this is no longer necessary.Inventor 2010 installations using network licensesalways start with an Inventor Suite license anddynamically switch licenses only when you invoke acommand that requires a higher-value license. Thisenhancement optimizes license usage since users onlyconsume higher-value licenses when required.FLEXnetThe license manager for Inventor 2010 uses FLEXnet inplace of FLEXlm.Multiple Language SupportInventor 2010 installer provides support for languagepacks, allowing you to select the language duringinstallation or during the creation of a deployment.For 2010 the English language pack is included with thelocalized product in North and South America and allAsia regions except Japan. It is not available in EMIAregions.Combined CAD Manager Control UtilityThe CAD Manager Control Utilities for AutoCAD ®software and Inventor have been combined into asingle utility.12 Autodesk Inventor 2010
