Thinking of upgrading? Want to see when a feature was introduced? Below outlines all the major inclusions into the 24.0 version of the CAD Add-in for Inventor.
Sovelia CAD Add-in now supports installation onto the Autodesk 2024 version of Inventor / Vault / AutoCAD this will enable customers to install and get the benefits of the latest versions of the Autodesk products.
As ever we support the latest version + 2 versions previously meaning this 24.0 version of the CAD Add-in supports Autodesk products 2024, 2023 and 2022.
We have also standardised on the naming of the tab in the Autodesk products. [S] PLM is now the tab for the Sovelia PLM add-in. This will enable multiple Sovelia products (Inventor, routing, visulaizer) all to co-exist in the same Inventor installation with users able to distinguish between the different tabs.
The 22.2 version of Sovelia PLM introduced the comments section into the HTML property card. Find out more here. In this release of the CAD Add-in we have added the ability to create comments whilst completing Promote & Revise tasks. An additional box is available to add comments including support for @ to tag other users into the conversation.
Once added to Revise or Promote in the CAD environment the comments are visible in the PLM HTML
section.
If you have tagged a user into the comment using the @ symbol a notigication will appear in that users HTML interface the next time they login to the system or after a short time if they are already logged in now.
within the configuration of the CAD Add-in profile-inventor.xml it is possible to add Pre-defined values for clone command.
|
Note: The values appear in all cloned objects. The pre-defined value will overwrite any existing value in the fields |
There is an example at the end of the profile-inventor.xml file for 24.0
A new option to aid users who want to manually name the drawing object when cloning an item which has a drawing attached.
Once selected the box is blank to enter a value.
when promoting an item that has a drawing that is also referenced it will be selected automatically for inclusion into the promote. This now inclusion saves the need to select and promote a drawing independently including searching for it initially.

Primary Model State with BOM messaging
Non-Primary Model State with BOM messaging
