Part Enhancements

Learn about the enhancements made to Inventor that impact the Part environment.

Split

Reusing a sketch for splitting a face is far easier now. The Apply button commits the input and splits the face. If there is unused sketch geometry the sketch remains visible for using the Split command again. Watch the process as this face is easily split into four different parts.

For more information about using the Split command, see To Combine or Split Bodies and Faces.

Copy Object

Two refinements are made to the Copy Object command:
  • Body selection is ON as a default.
  • Object list is reordered based on usage data.

For more information about the Copy Object command, see To Copy Objects Between Part, Assembly, and Construction Environments.

3D Annotation

Previously, if a 3D annotation created from a promoted sketch dimension was changed to Reference, the sketch dimension was changed to a driven dimension. In this release, if the 3D annotation is changed to Reference, the sketch dimension is no longer changed to driven.

For more information about 3D annotations, see To Work with General Annotations.
