Create templates for assemblies

All new assembly files are created with a template. You can create your own templates and add them to the templates provided by Autodesk Inventor.

  1. Create an assembly, using an existing template.
  2. Set the default units of measurement.
  3. If needed, change the sizes of the origin work planes to accommodate the average assembly size.
  4. Set the properties for the file.
  5. Save the file in the Autodesk\Inventor [version]\Templates folder or a subfolder of Templates. An assembly file automatically becomes a template when it is saved to the Templates folder.
Note: The file standard.iam in the Templates folder is the default assembly template. To replace the default template, remove standard.iam and replace it with a template that has the same name.
