  Autodesk Inventor 2009 Subscription Bonus Pack is here!
  October 1, 2008, 11:21 AM Garin Gardiner

  

  Autodesk® Inventor® 2009 Subscription Bonus Pack continues focus on user productivity!

   The first Subscription Bonus Pack is now available featuring improvements to frequently used commands.   In fact, three of our current AUGI Top 10 wish list items are provided along with many other productivity based improvements for part and assembly modeling to drawing creation. Tools included in the Bonus Pack will reduce the amount of picks and clicks as well as reduce editing steps which will delight our customers. Our subscription customers will be able to install these tools to their current Inventor 2009 after downloading a small file from the subscription portal and these same tools will be rolled into the next release of Inventor.

  What's in it?

   

  Drawing Manager Tools

   

  • Arrange dimensions
  • Dimension Selection Filters
  • Directly open a corresponding drawing right from a part or assembly
  • Refreshing drawing parameters
  • Balloon snap and alignment on placement

    Part Modeling Tools

  Where can they get it?

  For those of you that have Inventor Subscription, you will be able to login to the Autodesk Subscription website and download the small Bonus Pack. You will want to install SP1 first so if you don't have it, download it from here.

  Enjoy the new tools!

  Dear Kevin, The open drawing from directly from part of assembly doesn't work when you use other file name for your drawing than you did for your part of assembly. Is it correct??

  I downloaded the Bonus Tools, but when I tried to install them, Inventor refused installation because I already installed the UI Preview.... So I have to uninstall the UI Preview, then install the Bonus Tools, but I wonder if that still will work when I install the UI Preview again... Wold be nice to work with both new "gadgets"

  We will be releasing this in German, Japanese, French, Korean and Italian and hope to have it available in each language by the end of the month.

  The open drawing command doesn't work. Just opens the open file window.
