Parts in an assembly can be added or deleted by your iLogic rules, enabling more flexible and scalable creation of new designs. Along with this, customers can now name geometry and capture the current state of their iLogic models to help with rule creation. Auto-complete was added to streamline rule authoring, providing helpful information about rules and guidance on syntax directly within the rule editor. Now, with Inventor 2019, iLogic users get a new capability to build up models from scratch which provides far greater flexibility and power when configuring new assemblies.

With use of iLogic on the rise, we’ve been improving the usability of iLogic and making it more powerful. A few months ago, iLogic global triggers enabled companies to begin managing rules on a network where they could be much more easily managed across an organization. ILogic is the automation engine built into Inventor. It’s used by a huge number of our customers every day for automating tasks, ensuring compliance with standards, and driving design configurations. No one has ever said “my CAD system is just too darn fast!” because people are constantly pushing their tools harder and harder. Inventor customers in particular are pushing the envelope by designing bigger and more complex assemblies-it is now commonplace to see Inventor assemblies with 10,000 or more parts. For the past few releases we’ve put a dedicated focus on large assembly performance and the 2019 release delivers results throughout the entire design, edit and documentation process. For a list of specific areas of improvement with the 2019 version, check out the online help. Today, let’s take a big picture look at Inventor 2019. Over the upcoming weeks, many of us on the product team will be posting articles covering some of the new functionality.

Customers will soon begin seeing Inventor 2019 available for download from in your Autodesk Account and the Autodesk desktop app. This launch marks the 23rd major Inventor release over the past 19 years and we can’t thank customers enough for all the feedback and input that went into it. Thousands of customers provided Inventor Ideas, interacted with the product team in the Feedback Community and shared feedback throughout the alpha and beta program. The result is our best Inventor yet.
