Inventor Factory Fundamentals

The Autodesk Factory Design Utilities for Inventor are an add-in to the assembly environment. They provide design tools and an optimized environment for factory floor layout.

A factory floor layout is a 3D model of a factory, warehouse, or office environment. The size and complexity can range from a work cell to an entire factory. The layout can contain building elements such as walls, columns, and utilities. You can check for interference and plan how individual pieces of equipment connect to power, data, compressed air, or other resources.

The Factory Assets library contains models of standard factory components such as conveyors, ductwork, and walls. You can publish your frequently used models to the library. You can also use Inventor part and assembly files or imported models.
