Productivity Enhancements 
Command Alias
Inventor 2008 introduces optional 
command aliases to provide faster 
keyboard access to commonly 
used tools. Typing the tool’s 
command alias will invoke the tool 
immediately, while typing the fi rst 
character displays a small pop-up 
window showing all the commands that start with 
the selected letter. Designers can select the desired 
command with the mouse or simply type the remaining 
character to invoke the tool. 
The Customize option has been enhanced to simplify 
the management of Shortcuts and Aliases and there is a 
new quick reference for available shortcuts.
Repeat last command
Pressing the space bar repeats the last command to 
avoid reselecting the command each time.
Application Consistency and Ease of Use
Updated icons
The icons have been redesigned to improve consistency 
with AutoCAD, and controls are now compatible with 
the Microsoft
®
 Windows
®
 XP operating system.
Tool tips and status text update
The Inventor cursor has a new tool tip option that 
displays command prompts in the line of sight so 
designers don’t have to look at the bottom of the 
screen for the tool tip prompt.
New File Access dialogs 
There is a new Save As command for saving a copy of the 
active document with a new name. Unlike the existing 
Save Copy As command, the active document assumes 
the new name. When used with an assembly, the new 
command preserves the correct child relationships 
between the assembly and its components. 
The Inventor Open dialog has been replaced by Open 
and New dialogs that comply with the standard 
Windows dialog defi nition. These dialogs, as well as 
those for Place Component, Save As, and Save Copy As, 
are resizable, retain directory and display settings, and 
provide standard access to Desktop, My Documents, 
My Network, and so forth.
Shape Design
The shape manager gains new tools to improve 
complex design workfl ows and simplify the design 
of hydraulic and pneumatic components.
Part Modeling Tools
Area Loft
A new Area Loft option in the Loft tool allows designers 
to pick points along a center line and defi ne either 
cross sectional area or scale factor at each point. This 
is primarily intended to simplify the design of hydraulic 
and pneumatic components but can also be used to 
place and scale sections at will in order to tweak the 
shape of the loft for aesthetic purposes. 
Boundary conditions now infl uence the entire loft 
instead of a single section providing smoother, more 
organic shapes, and enhancements to surface behavior 
have been made to improve the reliability of Boolean, 
shell, and off set operations
New Bend Part feature
With the new Bend Part tool in Inventor 2008, 
designers can bend an existing part body around a 
selected sketch line allowing translated MDT bend 
features to be edited as native Inventor features.
