Revision tables can be linked to 
drawing or model iProperties such 
as revision, date, approval, and 
description, and designers can access 
these document iProperties without 
closing the revision table edit dialog. 
Any changes made in the iProperties 
dialog are immediately refl ected 
in the revision table. Conversely, 
inserting a new revision row 
increments the revision and updates 
the document iProperties.
Revision tags can now be associated 
to older revision numbers and the 
Style of Revision tags can be changed 
using the Edit Revision Tag dialog.
Dimensions and Notes
NPT and tapered holes
Drawings views containing taper-tapped holes display 
accurate results and correct display of thread lines. 
Hole notes support the new taper thread with 
additions for all hole combinations and hole notes 
provide full customization. 
Linear dimension thread notes
Thread and hole notes can now be formatted with 
a linear dimension style instead of the standard 
leader style.
Standards support
New arrow head styles for half-fi lled, fl ared, and 
half-fi lled fl ared arrowheads to support the ESKD 
drawing standard. 
Text styles for radial dimensions
Dimension styles have been extended to radial 
dimensions so designers can control text wrapping in 
the same way as diameter dimensions.
Other Enhancements
Concatenated iProperties
Support for concatenated iProperties in Global BOM 
expressions, for example, “DIN 1026 U 30x15x980” 
where 980 is a custom iProperty linked to exported 
Length parameter. 
DWG TrueConnect
Inventor 2008 takes DWG interoperability to a higher 
level with DWG TrueConnect—new technology that 
provides direct read and write of DWG. Inventor 
drawings saved as DWG fi les provide view, plot, and 
measure with exceptional visual fi delity simplifying 
communication with other groups and supply chain 
partners. DWG TrueConnect combines the benefi ts 
of associative drawing views in Autodesk Inventor 
with the power and widespread acceptance of the 
DWG fi le format. 
 
View, Plot, and Measure Using AutoCAD
DWG fi les generated from Inventor contain an accurate 
AutoCAD representation of the Inventor view entities. 
Therefore, designers can use AutoCAD software to 
view, plot, and measure drawings created with Inventor 
Drawing Manager with exceptional visual fi delity. 
To support this functionality, AutoCAD
®
 2008 includes 
a new object enabler, which is also available for 
installation on AutoCAD
®
 2007. Inventor DWG fi les 
are not supported on earlier versions of AutoCAD.
Saving Inventor Drawings as DWG Files
Inventor drawing views are represented as blocks in 
the DWG fi le, enabling designers to easily reuse view 
data in AutoCAD. Users can copy these view blocks 
into other drawings using AutoCAD
®
 DesignCenter™ 
functionality or insert a view block in model space so 
that it can be referenced (xref) into another drawing. 
DWG fi les created using direct DWG output are 
associative to the Inventor part and assembly models, 
so the View blocks in the AutoCAD DWG fi le will 
update if the view changes in Inventor. 
Opening AutoCAD DWG Files with Inventor 
Designers can quickly open any AutoCAD DWG fi le 
in Inventor, and then view, plot, and measure the 
fi le contents. In addition all of the AutoCAD data 
is selectable for copy/paste so users can open an 
AutoCAD DWG fi le in Inventor and then copy and 
paste AutoCAD entities into an Inventor sketch.
Each AutoCAD layout (paper space) is represented 
as a sheet in the browser and all Inventor drawing 
commands are available. That means designers can 
place views and create annotations on a layout created 
in AutoCAD, and the Inventor data will coexist with the 
AutoCAD data.
