  iMap...

  I had to think twice before doing a //Labs based post two weeks running, but ultimately this stuff is just way too cool to not bring it to everyone’s attention. Added to Labs inventory a few weeks ago was iMap. iMap provides intuitive, graphical assembly views to help Inventor users understand, visualize and more importantly control important relationships and constraints in Inventor assemblies. This is especially valuable when working with an assembly that was created by another user.
   
   
   
  iMap enhances existing Inventor assembly tools by providing innovative new capabilities that help you work with information that has traditionally been thought of as nongraphical.
   
   
   
   iMap enables users to:
   
  • Identify and edit complex constraint relationships
  • Repair broken relationships
  • Create relationships between components without having to select topology
  • Identify and edit complex skeletal modeling designs
  • Create export new objects to support skeletal modeling and create relationships
   
   
   
  These enhancements make it easier to work with very large assemblies, and help the user to understand the relationships that exist between assembly components. And if you use skeletal modeling techniques in your day to day workflow, you will really appreciate how much easier it is to visualize the assembly hierarchy than with the traditional browser view. Quite simply, iMap is designed to provide a wealth of information not easily found otherwise.
