When applying Horizontal and Vertical constraints as you hover over the object a dashed line indicator will appear to show the direction the object will be rotated. If you have a lot of sketch geometry the Select option is a nice addition in that you can set the focus in which Inventor will infer constraints, meaning no more parallels or perpendiculars to sketch geometry off the screen.The new option Geometry in current command will only infer to the objects created during the current operation, unless you hover over the object.

New Constraint Scope option is used to set the which objects Inventor will automatically infer constraints from. No more Show all Constraints to delete just one or a couple constraints. By right-clicking on one of these constraint icons you can delete the constraint. With Display constraints on creation enabled the last constraint created by the sketching operation will appear, slightly ghosted, on the screen.Įnabling Show constraints for selected objects means that by selecting objects in the graphics window the constraints applied to those objects will appear. Autodesk has also introduced two new options: Show constraints for selected objects and Display constraints on display. Consolidated and New Sketch OptionsĪll 2D sketch constraint related options are consolidated into one new Constraint Settings dialog. While creating sketch geometry, endpoints are created on the mouse down instead of mouse up/release! halleluiah! I can’t believe after all these years I don’t have to slow myself down while sketching to not miss points and get the accidental gaps. Maybe my favorite enhancement.… drum roll please….

If you pick a sketch tool without having a sketch active, Inventor will start the new sketch process and once you pick the sketch plane the command you selected becomes active. But make no mistake, there are some significant changes here, so much so we thought it should be the first of our deep dive posts covering Inventor’s key new features.įirst change you’ll probably notice is that the Sketch tab is always visible. With all the glitz and glamour, the changes to the sketch environment could go unnoticed, especially since it isn’t as sexy as the new Direct Editing and Free Form surfacing capability. There are a lot of new and improved tools in Inventor 2015, something for everyone.
