Design Assistant reference

Design Assistant maintains links between Autodesk Inventor files, locates referenced files in folders, previews files with a thumbnail sketch, and manages file properties.

Access:

Click Manage Design Assistant, and then click Properties.

From Microsoft Windows Explorer, select one or more Autodesk Inventor files or a folder containing Autodesk Inventor files, right-click, and then select Design Assistant from the menu, and click Properties.

Note: If you drag an Autodesk Inventor file from Microsoft Windows Explorer into an active Design Assistant session, the file in the active session is replaced with the new file. Unsaved changes in the current file are lost.
