Release Notes

The Autodesk® Inventor® Tolerance Analysis release notes.

Fixed issues in Tolerance Analysis 2022

  • You can now doubleclick to activate a Design View when Tolerance Analysis is active. (INVGEN-44508)
  • For added stability, the button to enter the Tolerance Analysis environment is disabled during edit-in-place, and when editing a library component. (INVGEN-43782)
  • Fixed an issue that Inventor crashed when you closed the Tolerance Analysis Settings or the Add Offset dialog by clicking the x. (INVGEN-41378)
  • Fixed: Tolerance stackup dimensions persisted in the display when using an Undo command to return to the Tolerance Analysis environment and then exiting the environment again. (INVGEN-24724)

Summary of Known Issues in 2022

  • Known issues reported in R2020 and R2021 are still known issues in R2022.

Fixed issues in Tolerance Analysis 2021

  • Fixed Inventor crash issues when creating a New Stackup:
    • In some models containing Tolerance Feature annotations.
    • In assemblies that contain more Joints than Constraints.
  • Renaming components in the Tolerance Analysis environment is now blocked to prevent a mismatch with the Inventor browser names. Rename faces and edges is allowed.

Summary of Known Issues in 2021

  • Known issues reported in R2020 and 2020.1 are still known issues in 2021.

Fixed Issues in 2020.1

  • Most geometry editing operations are now disabled when the Tolerance Analysis environment is active because geometry edits can cause a crash. The preferred workflow is to exit the environment before making changes to the CAD model. (INVGEN-29588)
  • Stackup data can be marked as invalid if two copies of an assembly are opened in the same session. (INVGEN-30304)
  • Tolerance Analysis 2020.1 can be installed on Inventor 2019 RTM with no installation error. (INVGEN-28254)
  • Preview boxes are no longer missing when creating tube and pipe run. (INVGEN-27525)

Summary of Known Issues in 2020.1

  • Known issues reported in R2020 are still known issues in 2020.1.
  • A dimension to a face or an edge on an assembly feature cannot be maintained. When you re-enter the Tolerance Analysis environment the dimension is zero. (INVGEN-30403)
  • The Tolerance Analysis button does not appear if weldment assemblies are the only open documents in the session. To work around this, create a new part or assembly and then return to the weldment assembly. (INVGEN-31072)
    Note: This issue and workaround also applies to 2020.

Fixed Issues in 2020

  • To avoid errors, the ability to activate a different Level of Detail in an assembly is disabled in the Tolerance Analysis environment. (INVGEN-24733)

  • Reports use the date and time format selected in Windows. (INVGEN-22321)

  • Improved support for editing a stackup in an assembly with unresolved components. (INVGEN-22069)

  • Fixed some instances of untranslated text in the user interface.

Summary of Known Issues in 2020

  • The default Inventor context menu isn't available in the Inventor Tolerance Analysis environment.
  • Keyboard input for the mini-toolbar isn't supported.
  • When you select a curve to define a direction, the direction is interpreted as the Z axis. Selecting a different direction has no effect. No message displays to indicate the issue.
  • Stackup analysis data may become unusable if you:
    1. Create a stackup in an assembly.
    2. Exit the Tolerance Analysis environment and continue to work on the assembly.
    3. Delete a component or feature that was used in the stackup.
    4. Re-enter the Tolerance Analysis environment.
  • Entering the Tolerance Analysis environment causes the document to require a save. (INVGEN-23957)
  • A stackup dimension isn't draggable during in-place edit of a component. (INVGEN-24742)
  • Graphical dimensions created by Tolerance Analysis may remain visible if you Undo the operation of exiting the Tolerance Analysis environment. A known workaround is to close and then re-open the document. (INVGEN-24724)
