Improved Productivity
New, Expanded Help
Autodesk Inventor Wiki: Optional
The new Help Wiki provides the most robust, relevant, 
and up to date information. In addition, the Wiki 
enables you to partner with Autodesk to share your 
knowledge with others. The online Help Wiki is the 
default help in Autodesk Inventor. If you are connected 
to the internet when you access Help in Autodesk 
Inventor, the Help Wiki displays. But it’s your choice: 
If you deployed Autodesk Inventor, and during the 
deployment you disabled the Help Wiki, it is no longer 
the default Help.
Basic installed Help is always there 
When you install Inventor, a subset of the help that 
contains customer favorites is installed by default. 
A basic Help of reference topics, tutorials for the new 
user, and a What’s New are installed with the product. 
If you are not connected to the internet when you 
access Help in Inventor, and you did not download full 
Help, the basic installed Help displays. 
Full Help download
When you are not online, you can still have access 
to the full Inventor Help. Download a full Help from 
autodesk.com, Data and Downloads section. If you are 
not connected to the internet when you access Help in 
Inventor, and you previously downloaded full Help, the 
full Help displays instead of the basic installed Help.
