We are happy to announce that Sovelia Inventor 2025.0.452 has been released! This release of Sovelia Inventor includes two main improvements requested by customers.
The lookup now has the possibility for several simultaneous configurations. This version also includes full support to handle units in calculations which means that you can enforce unit calculations to a certain standard, or use the document settings in Inventor to get the correct value. Sovelia Component library has been updated to support this. Download this version in Sovelia Downloads.
Note: The material needs to exist in the material library.
The lookup user interface has been updated to support several configurations. The configuration files are now stored in the "Common folder\Lookup". When installing the latest version on an existing setup, the existing configuration files will be moved to the new location.
Create configurations that use different settings in the configuration window.
"Save as new configuration" prompts you for a new name. You can then change the configuration and then "save configuration" to save your changes.
Sovelia Inventor now supports using different units in calculations in Inventor. This change was made to support Imperial units in Sovelia Inventor.
The settings are done in the "Cadit Update.ini” file.
