Customization and Automation
Inventor helps users make the most of their investment
in D by using the Inventor API (application programming
interface) to streamline frequently used procedures and
automate specialized workflows that support design
standards and engineering processes.
Styles
Work faster by instantly changing the formatting
of an entire document, while maintaining consis-
tency with company standards. Styles are combi-
nations of formatting characteristics such as font,
font size, color, standards, linetype, and material.
They are easily named and stored as templates,
and are used to control all aspects of drawing for-
mats. When users apply a style, all the formatting
instructions in that style are applied at one time,
and a set of common styles can be configured for
use by an entire project team.
Content Center Publishing Tools
Quickly prepare and publish intelligent part librar-
ies. The publishing tools in the Content Center
include an editing environment and batch process-
ing of large data sets to streamline the process of
preparing and publishing company parts as well as
vendor catalogs.
Task Scheduler
Increase productivity by automating repetitive and
nonproductive tasks. The Inventor Task Sched-
uler enables users to schedule single or multiple
(batch) automated tasks including DWF publishing,
printing, file migration, IGES and STEP transfers,
and vault operations. Users can also check out and
download files from the Vault.
Open API
Increase productivity by developing tools to auto-
mate your company’s design and documentation
processes. Inventor includes a well-documented
API to create customized programs to automate
specialized workflows and extend the Inventor
data model with custom attributes.
Increase speed and pro-
ductivity with configu-
rable styles so drawings
conform to standards,
and publish custom com-
ponents in the Content
Center to make sure that
designers use appropri-
ate components in their
designs.
