What can you do with the Inventor Tool plugins?
- Add-ons or plugins extend the functionality of Autodesk Inventor.
- They automate tasks, provide new commands and integrate external tools.
- Custom Plugins Improve Productivity and Simplify Complex Processes.
Inventor Toolkit includes eight sets of tools:
Plugin 1:
AutoSave
This is a tool that allows users to automate the process of autosaving their files in Autodesk Inventor periodically. This plugin ensures that work documents are automatically saved in configurable time ranges, reducing the risk of data loss due to unexpected crashes or application closures.
Additionally, it improves efficiency by avoiding risks when saving manually, allowing users to focus on their work without interruptions. This tool is ideal for large or complex projects that require multiple reviews.
Plugin 2:
BOM and Drawings pdfs
This tool automates the creation of an Excel file containing the Bill of Materials (BOM) for an assembly in Autodesk Inventor. In addition, it automatically generates the associated plans in PDF format.
It is ideal for streamlining the documentation process and keeping material and drawing data up to date, facilitating the delivery of accurate reports and efficient management of design projects.
Plugin 3:
Part Renaming Tool
This tool allows users to rename assembly and part files in Autodesk Inventor without breaking critical references and links between files.
The process ensures that the project maintains its integrity, avoiding common errors such as loss of links between components and assemblies. It is especially useful in complex projects that require precise reorganization or naming of files.
Plugin 4:
Copy Parts Tool
With this tool, users can select and copy individual parts of any assembly within the project in Inventor.
This allows the reuse of components without the need to decompose the main assembly, ensuring that copied parts are maintained with all their original properties and references. It is an effective solution for projects that need rapid reuse of components.
Plugin 5:
Copy Assemblies Tool
This tool facilitates the complete copy of an assembly project, including all its parts and sub-assemblies, ensuring that internal references remain consistent in the new copy.
It is ideal for projects that require duplication for modifications, design variations, or creating alternative versions without compromising the original project structure.
Plugin 6:
Realistic Threading Generator
Generate Real Thread on Cylindrical Surfaces tool allows you to create detailed threads on internal and external surfaces within Autodesk Inventor. This tool facilitates the creation of geometrically accurate threads, improving the visual representation and technical fit of threaded parts in design projects.
By allowing the creation of realistic threads instead of standard cosmetic representations, the tool is ideal for projects where precision in manufacturing or simulation is essential.
Plugin 7:
Cosmetic Threaded Screw Generator
The tool for generating screws based on user-entered parameters allows you to create custom screws within Autodesk Inventor according to the user’s exact specifications. By entering parameters such as diameter, length, head type, thread pitch and other details, the tool generates an accurate model of the screw.
This tool is ideal for projects that require components tailored to specific measurements, eliminating the need to search for screws in standard libraries and ensuring that designs meet the needs of the project.
Add-on 8:
History of executed operations
The feature statistics display tool allows users to obtain a detailed summary of the operations used in their Autodesk Inventor models.
The tool displays statistics such as the number of extrusions, coils, sketches and geometries created on the screen, providing a clear view of the use of each type of feature in the design. This functionality is ideal for evaluating project complexity and optimizing design processes, helping engineers better manage the content of their models.
MicroCAD Autodesk Tools is a set of essential productivity plug-ins that will make your work in Inventor fast, easy and efficient.
- Inventor Tools is a collection of 8 custom plugins developed to help the end-user with repetitive tasks and improve user efficiency.
- Each add-in addresses a specific task in Inventor, optimizing workflow and productivity.
