Overview
Use this free* technology preview of Jig & Fixture Design for Inventor to significantly improve your efficiency designing jigs and fixtures with Autodesk® Inventor®.
Jig & Fixture Design extends Autodesk Inventor’s native capability with an extensible library of standard jig and fixture components which are attributed to support an enhanced level of automation intelligence. Retrieve components from the library dragging and dropping them into your design environment. The components auto-locate themselves when placed and their fasteners can be auto-populated. Based on initial tests, your overall design time can be reduced by over 50%.
Jig & Fixture Design also includes authoring tools which allow you to attribute standard content readily available from component vendors and publish it to the system’s content library for reuse.
