Once IDF data is imported, you can treat it as you would treat normal Autodesk Inventor parts, assemblies, and subassemblies. With the PCB data, you can:
- Verify important features of the board including mounting locations, major components, connector locations, and keepout areas.
- Verify the fit and shape of the board in the context of the assembly, when placed in an existing assembly.
- Edit design constraints (keepouts) as 2D sketches.
- Create drawings, presentations, and design views.
- Manually define reference designators on individual components and pins.
- Use 3D measure between board items.
Note: If the Autodesk Inventor IDF Translator is not installed on the system viewing the imported data, new IDF data cannot be imported. There are no other restrictions on interaction with the IDF data.
