Read the following for more details on what’s new.

Professional Grade

We have added several of our most requested enhancements to Inventor 2022 such as Model States, Graphic Performance, Instance Properties, Drawing enhancements, and much more.

• Model States: Create manufacturing states, simplification levels, and more in the same part or assembly file.

  

• Instance Properties: Assign properties to individual component instances.

  

• Shaded View Enhancements: Use the lighting style from the model in a drawing.

  

• Drawing View Options: Extract the Camera View and 3D Annotations.
• Performance: Many areas gained performance improvements.
• iLogic: Supports Model States and Instance Properties and other new functionality.
• Text Formatting: Dialog controls are consolidated.
• Copy Objects: Supports window selection.

Inventor Experience

We have done much research to understand when and how you use each command and continually look for ways to make the overall process more efficient. In Inventor 2022, we have enhanced the experience using feedback from our most used commands like Fillet, Constraints, Model Simplification, and more to make Inventor easier to use than ever before.

• Fillet: A Property Panel replaces the dialog box for more efficient workflow.

  

• Fully Constrained Notification: Component browser node indicates constraint status.
• Simplification: New Simplify command replaces Shrinkwrap and Shrinkwrap Substitute with a streamlined workflow.

  

• Property Panel Enhancements
  • Dockable Tool Palette.
  • Warning Notifications alert you to blocking conditions.
• Highlight New: Improved notification clarity.

Connected

We continuously look for ways to connect teams together. We have added more capabilities to better simplify and share Inventor models in Revit. Also with the market increasingly looking to optimize the handoff between design and manufacturing, Autodesk has invested in many different pieces of manufacturing capability over the years. Moldflow, HSM, Magestic, Netfabb, and Delcam products are a few key examples. We are starting to bring many of these capabilities into Fusion 360 and are making it easier to use alongside Inventor's powerful design capabilities. In just a few clicks you can copy an Inventor part to Fusion 360 and ready to collaborate with your manufacturing engineer or job shop.

• Revit Interop: New specialized workflow enables model simplification as part of the RVT export.

  

• Fusion 360 Interop: New workflow makes it easy to share part files with Fusion Team and Fusion 360.
• QIF Support: New QIF export option enables you to export a Quality Information Framework file which contains PMI data.
