Below applies to Inventor 10 SP 3a and??
We had a problem that could cost this company mega bucks, and yours if you are not aware of this issue. This has been verified by our VAR.
The issue is that if we changed a evaluation (tolerance) in part mode it causes all kind of problems in the .idw(drawing). One item specifically is a 9/16 thickness that reverts back to 1/2". The error is really insidious as the change does not occur until you leave that window either by going to another sheet or another program.
Steps
for ref. only >> DO NOT DO THIS IN A REAL PART<<
Dbl click on feature in part mode, single click on a dim., right click on same dim. select dimension properties, click on tolerance/type, change to MIN., create a .idw and show that dim.
Hope this may help some of you that have been thinking you are crazy and know you had that dimension right.
