New workflows for 3ds Max

Inventor Animation Import

Autodesk Inventor Constraint and Joint Drive animation now imports to 3ds Max as baked keyframes. You can now create a high-quality mechanical design animation and view it in 3ds Max without having to use 3ds Max IK and rigging features.

AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor Interoperability

• The new Electromechanical link between Inventor and AutoCAD Electrical provides a smooth data exchange between your 2D and 3D electrical designs.
• When you create a link between an AutoCAD Electrical project and an Inventor assembly (not available in Inventor LT), they project files become associative: Design data changes made in one product are shared with the other via Sync.
• The Location View command on the new Electromechanical tab on the Assembly (not available in Inventor LT) ribbon in Inventor displays the devices and wiring contained in both the AutoCAD Electrical drawings and Inventor assemblies.
  Note: The Location View information is also available in AutoCAD Electrical.

Operating System support

Product Design Suite 2016 is only supported on 64 bit operating systems.
