Tech Preview in Inventor

Autodesk Assistant is an AI assistant that helps you work with Autodesk Inventor through natural conversation and intelligent automation - I can analyze, query, and modify Inventor files, components, and settings while also providing access to official Autodesk help documentation and tutorials.

With the Autodesk Assistant you can:

  • Work with your CAD model: Query design properties, show or hide components, and modify dimensions.
  • Generate AI visualizations: Create render-like visuals from your design by describing materials, lighting, and environments.

For a complete overview of my capabilities, try asking "What tools are available?" or "Show me some example prompts" to see detailed examples of what I can help you accomplish.

Note: Additional capabilities are available by enabling the Tech Preview in the Autodesk Assistant settings.

To manage your Tech Preview setting, see How to use Autodesk Assistant.
