Model space is represented as a read-only environment
in Inventor with its own special entry in the browser.
Users can control the background color and perform
all viewing functions, including rotate if needed, since
model space is a 3D environment. Users can select
objects in model space for use with copy/paste and the
measuring tools.

Shared Objects
AutoCAD and Inventor can create their own objects in
the same DWG fi le. For example, in AutoCAD designers
can open a DWG fi le saved from Inventor and create new
AutoCAD layouts. The new layouts will be displayed the
next time designers open the fi le with Inventor.

Certain objects, including layers, blocks, styles, line
types, sheet names, and sheet sizes can be edited in
both applications. Any changes made to any of these
objects in one application are refl ected in the other.
For example, deleting a layout in AutoCAD deletes
the corresponding sheet in Inventor. Edits to a layer in
AutoCAD are the same as edits to the layer in Inventor.
Designers can edit a layer and change the line type
from an Inventor line type to an AutoCAD line type.
When reopened in Inventor, the Inventor layer will use
the AutoCAD line type.

AutoCAD Blocks in Inventor
With support for AutoCAD blocks in the drawing
environment, designers can now reuse native AutoCAD
blocks in Inventor drawing sheets. Users can also
include 2D AutoCAD geometry as reference data in
views of Inventor subassemblies.

Additional Highlights
Designers can now load custom line types from
AutoCAD line type fi les (*.lin) and use these custom
line types anywhere they used the standard Inventor
line types in the past.

A new Plot On/Off property is included in the
Drawing Manager layers, to match the AutoCAD Plot
On/Off property. As with AutoCAD, setting the plot
property to Off displays the layer, but it will not print
or get published.

DWG Import Tool
With existing releases of Inventor, the File Open
command automatically launches the Import Wizard
whenever a DWG fi le is selected. With Inventor 2008,
selecting a drawing fi le (.dwg) in the Open dialog
box provides users the option to either open the fi le
directly, or import it using the existing Import Wizard.
The default setting is Open.
Note: Once a DWG file contains Inventor data, designers
can no longer use the import wizard. Instead, they must
open the file directly and use copy/paste to selectively import
data into an Inventor document.

Comparison of Enhanced DWG Support
with Translation
In almost all cases, direct DWG output provides a
simpler, faster, and more maintainable workfl ow for
saving Inventor drawings in the DWG format. Designers
who rely on a process or workfl ow requiring the ability
to edit AutoCAD geometric entities in the drawing
views can still use the DWG translation tools provided
with Inventor.

Sketch Productivity
New developments in the 2D sketch environment will
reduce the learning curve for new users and improve
productivity for existing users by providing clearer
feedback on constraint status. The new sketch edit
tools reduce the time required to modify sketches while
preserving unaff ected constraints.

Enhanced Sketch Constraints
Sketch constraints provide a powerful way to
capture design intent in the 2D sketch. Working with
constraints is simpler and easier with Inventor 2008.
Multiple improvements reduce the eff ort required
to build correctly constrained sketches, including
diagnosing and resolving overconstrained conditions.

Show Constraints tool
The Show Constraints tool now supports window se-
lect, reducing the time required to turn on specifi c con-
straint bars. When using the Show Constraints tool, the
cursor now shows the number of constraints belonging
to an item as soon as users point to it and highlights all
the associated cross-constraints when other constraint
bars are displayed.

Improved constraint bar design
The constraint bars have been redesigned with an
updated look and feel for improved visibility. Constraint
bars are now fi xed to the sketch plane during 3D rotate
and a new placement algorithm to reduce screen
clutter by minimizing overlap between constraints and
their associated geometry.
