Drawing Enhancements (What's New in 2023.1)
Here are the drawing enhancements for this release.
Drawing Views
Broken and Crop Views
You can now crop a broken view and create a broken view from a cropped view.
For more information about Break views see To Work with Break View Operations.
For more information about Crop views see To Work with Crop View Operations.
Draft Views
Easily reuse draft views anywhere in any drawing. Copy and Paste within the same drawing sheet, on a different sheet, or in another drawing - existing or new.
Easily move draft views to another sheet. Click and drag the browser node from the active sheet to the target sheet.
For more information see To Create and Edit a Draft View.
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
Dimensions placed on drawing views
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
For more information see Edit dimensions in drawings.
Remove legacy parts list options
In the Parts list, the legacy Parts List creation methods are removed from the drop-down. If necessary to display the legacy parts lists, the registry key can be provided.
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.
