The focus for this Inventor release is to increase productivity for both new and long-time users in the area of assembly design. We also included productivity improvements for parts, sketching, drawing, and other environments based on long-time customer requests. Finally, we added tools that help you share Inventor models more broadly with your partners. This addition streamlines the sharing of models with building engineers and architects making it even easier to collaborate through Autodesk 360 services.

The following is a brief outline of these tools and capabilities.
A new command called Connect transforms the assembly design process. Connect provides a one-step method of positioning components and defining motion.
If you are new to the product, it is easy to understand and master assembly behavior. If you already know the product, the streamlined assembly creation and management tools provide an engaging and productive experience.
Multiple Consistent Material workflows have been streamlined to make it easier to create custom libraries. Custom libraries can be shared between Inventor, Revit, and AutoCAD.
We also added tools that help you share Inventor models more broadly with your partners. With the new BIM interoperability features, you can transform detailed Inventor assemblies easily into simple native Revit Families for use as BIM content.
This addition streamlines the sharing of models with building engineers and architects making it even easier to collaborate through Autodesk 360 services.
Finally, stay tuned for these enhancements: R2014 provides a simple, intuitive process to save files to, and open from Autodesk 360. You benefit by having access to your data, anytime, anywhere, and the ability to share anytime and with anyone. Get confirmation on designs, troubleshoot field maintenance, and resolve design sharing issues with Autodesk 360.
