The "FEATURE" strings should appear in the Title only if the corresponding iProperty is Yes (the design has the...

    Reference Physical iProperties In Parameter Equati

    I need to calculate the mass offset of an assembly relative to an axis. How do I reference an iProperty > Physical (Mass, X, Y, etc) in a parameter equation? I tried iProperties.mass, iProperties.Value("Physical", "Mass"), and just <mass> and had no luck. I didn't find any comprehensive...

I read into the gear tools in Inventor, but they seem to be for generating gear trains from scratch. Remaking all the gears and re-adding them to our Vault server...

    Force Drawing Dimensions/Tolerances To Match Model

    I want the precision and tolerance type of dimensions to match the model. The precision and tolerance type set by the style can be ignored or the style can define dimensions to inherit from the model, either way is fine. Example 1: I model a cuboid with a length of 18.5 mm. I add a dimension...
