Customized Flat Pattern Output
A new export tool in Inventor 2008 gives better access 
to pre- and postprocessing options to simplify the 
creation of DXF and DWG export fi les for sheet metal. 
Capabilities include:
• DXF/DWG File Version Specifi cation.
• External XML File defi nition supports customized post 
processing operations for fl at pattern output.
• Layer mapping and export control for deleting and 
renaming layers during export.
• Spline simplifi cation options utilizing linear 
approximation to create linear segments for driving 
computer numeral controlled (CNC) equipment that 
can’t consume splines.
• Inner and outer contour merging into polylines 
for wire burning and other polyline path based 
manufacturing methods.
• Geometry rebasing allows all geometry to be moved 
into positive coordinate space as required by some 
CNC machines.
• Savable export confi guration fi les for reuse and API 
(application programming interface) access. 
• Full API support for controlling all DXF/DWG fl at 
pattern output.
Drawing Manager
A large number of enhancements are incorporated 
in the Inventor 2008 Drawing Manager to address 
customer enhancement requests and improve support 
for international drawing standards.
Isometric View Dimensioning
The General Dimension tool has been extended to 
support dimensions on isometric views with full 
support for linear, angular, radial, diameter, and arc 
length dimensions. The workfl ow is similar to placing 
dimensions on an orthographic view except that the 
dimension is placed on the appropriate isometric plane. 
In cases such as linear dimensions, where there is more 
than one valid plane, users can toggle through the valid 
options using the spacebar and then click to place the 
dimension in the most appropriate plane.
Users can also defi ne annotation planes in the model 
and use them to control the placement of isometric 
view dimensions. Annotation planes are fully 
parametric so any change to the plane will modify 
the location of the isometric view dimensions.
Isometric view dimensions support the same 
formatting and edit capabilities as the existing 
orthographic dimensions including inspection 
dimensions.
Designers can use isometric view dimensions to rapidly 
created dimensioned tube and pipe drawings by 
dimensioning to the 3D sketch geometry that defi nes 
the pipe routes.
