Thinking of upgrading? Want to see when a feature was introduced? Below outlines all the major inclusions into the 24.1 version of the CAD Add-in for Inventor.
The Status colours in the HTML are now carried across into the property grid of the CAD Add-in inside Inventor.
Replace Replace all
Two new commands have been added to the CAD Add-in ribbon menu in inventor, Replace and Replace all.
The commands will use the common search to locate an item in Sovelia PLM. upon selection the item will then replace a single item in the assembly or replace all instances in the assembly.
Use Existing Part Number
Using the copy design post process for Sovelia PLM in vault now adds the ability to name the new Item or drawing based on the part number and revision in the Inventor properties rather than assigning the next available number from Sovelia.
Recognise existing
When creating new items using the Copy Design Post Process tool for Vault if the item or drawing already exists in Sovelia the object will be unselected from the copy and a message displayed "Sovelia reference exist!"
After using the mirror command in Inventor the Sovelia Property card will now appear
If a user has created a datafield in Sovelia PLM and set the type to URL as in the image below.
In the property card of the CAD Add-in the Type URL is recognised.
This is signified by a globe icon at the end of the line.
The system will recognise if the URL is valid. If it is the URL link will be opened up in the default browser.
