Break Out Views

Workflow improvement: When creating a break out view, if there isn't an existing sketch defining the break out boundary, a sketch is created, activated, and you can begin to add geometry.

View participation: During view creation or edit, select whether or not components within the cut-away volume display in the break out view.

For more information see To Create a Breakout.

Drawing Annotations

Edit existing diameter or radius dimensions to change their type from one to the other. This can be done with drawing dimensions:

Placed on model geometry
Placed on sketch geometry, visible in the drawing view, using either the dimension context menu or marking menu
Recovered from the model

Inventor® Feedback Forum suggestion

Select multiple components when attaching balloons to a balloon stack

When adding multiple balloons to a stack using the "Attach Balloon" command, after providing the direction it is now possible to continue selecting more balloons for the stack without having to restart the command as in the previous Inventor versions. Undo and Redo operations are also supported.
