About InfoCenter

Useful tools, information, and applications available in the upper right of the main Inventor window.

InfoCenter is a set of tools on the right side of the title bar that provide access to product-related sources. Although InfoCenter is common across several Autodesk products, the selection of tools sometimes differs from product to product. For example, in some products, the InfoCenter toolbar includes a Sign In button for Autodesk 360 services, or a link to Autodesk Exchange.

Note: InfoCenter uses Internet Explorer to support Autodesk LiveUpdate technology, even if you set your default browser to something else.

InfoCenter tools available in Inventor:

Search

Requires an Internet connection. Enter keywords or text to search the Help. If you click Search with no text entry, you link to the Inventor Help home page.

The Expand/Collapse arrow collapses, or shows the Search box.

Use the following wildcards, alone or combined, to refine or expand your search query in InfoCenter.

Symbol *

Replace one or more characters at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. For example, “*lish”, “p*lish”, and “pub*” finds “publish”. Also, “anno*” finds “annotative”, “annotation”, “annoupdate”, “annoreset”, and so on.

Symbol ?

Replace a single character. For example, "cop?" finds "copy", but not "copybase".
