About Inventor Models That Are Modified at the Source (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

When a part or assembly file to which you have linked changes, the program highlights the changed file in the browser.

Note: Inventor Link is available only on 64-bit systems, and it is not installed by default.

When you right-click the highlighted file and select Update from the menu, the program updates the model as well as all generated drawings views.

If you have overridden parametric dimensions (for example, adding tolerance values to a parametric dimension), the program discards those overrides. None of the other dimensions are affected.

As with parametric dimensions, if you override any of the BOM columns derived from iProperties, they are overridden.
