Reduce errors and the need for manual checking 
through automatic drawing update. Inventor 
associates drawing views to the original 
components so any change made to a part or an 
assembly is automatically reflected in the drawing. 
Inventor also supports global updates of drawing 
resources, such as title blocks, borders, and 
sketched symbols.

Provide earlier visibility into accurate component 
lists to improve costing and sourcing decisions. 
Simplify release to manufacturing with accurate 
engineering BOM data. The BOM is a single source 
for managing the assembly and subassembly 
structure of purchased and nonpurchased parts, 
including virtual components. Timesaving features 
include the following:

•  Automatic numbering with support for numeric 

and alpha characters, and item number override

•  Material definition for virtual components, such 

as glue and paint

•  Direct editing of materials in the BOM table, 

which allows material changes to be made to more 
than one item at the same time

Automatically generate and update accurate parts 
lists in a fraction of the time required by traditional 
2D methods, virtually eliminating human error. 
The associative parts list enables users to maintain 
an accurate parts list with part and subassembly 
quantities that are automatically kept up-to-date, 
organized, and populated into a drawing parts list. 
Rapidly add balloons and item numbers to assembly 
drawings. And users have greater flexibility in cus-
tomizing parts lists to meet company standards.

Use the presentation environment in Inventor 
to quickly create technical illustrations, process 
sheets, training materials, part manuals, assembly 
instruction sheets, and videos to train assembly 
teams on the manufacturing floor.
