Other General Enhancements

Language Pack Templates Now Install Under the Local Folder

When you install a language pack, the Inventor template files now install under the respective local folder (\Templates\{locale} folder).

English language pack example:

Note: If you've installed a language pack, use the drawing template located in the templates language folder, for example, Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2019\Templates\ja-JP\Standard.dwg. You may encounter style conflicts using the drawing template located in the standard directory, Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2019\Templates\Standard.dwg template.

Migrate Custom Settings

Previously, you used xml files to migrate customization and Application Options settings to a new release.

If an older supported version is detected when you install Inventor 2019, the Migrate Custom Settings dialog appears. Use this dialog to update Inventor with your customization and Application Option settings without the need to use the xml export/import process.

If you close the dialog without migrating, you can migrate the settings later. Click Tools tab Options panel Migrate Settings .

Note:
  • Supported older versions are Inventor 2018 or newer.
  • Restart Inventor after you migrate the settings.

For more information, see To Migrate Application Options and Customization Settings.

A new option was added to Configure Options Settings that allows administrators to control the use of Migrate Custom Settings in a deployment.

Clear the check box for Allow users to migrate custom settings from previous versions to block the Migrate Custom Settings command. If the box is not checked, Migrate Custom Settings is not installed with the deployment and is not available in the Tools tab. Check the box to install Migrate Custom Settings.

For more information, see Configure Options Settings.

Transparent Background Export Enhancement

When you export an Inventor file as a PNG, TIFF or BMP image with a transparent background, the XYZ triad is no longer included in the exported image.

For more information exporting an Inventor file as an image, see Saving and Exporting Files Reference.
