Subsequent changes to data will be updated whenever changes are detected. What it doesn’t do is create any native Inventor data on the disk. The reference method then loads in the geometry, performs the conversion and presents you with the data. The system then presents you with the option to either convert the geometry or to use the reference method with the usual controls over which entities to import (such as solids, surfaces, work features and so on). In terms of how it works, the process is pretty much standard: you invoke the import process, either by opening from scratch or placing a part or assembly into an existing assembly. This shouldn’t be construed as removing the translation process entirely instead, the system does the translation in the background and maintains a link to the originating data.Īs a result, you end up with far less data being created, which cuts down on management headaches, and, if the reference data happens to change, you can reload it and work with it in a much more efficient manner. Autodesk is referring to this as its An圜AD technology.
What Autodesk has built into Inventor 2016 is the ability to reference third-party files and work with them, without having to convert the files into a native file format. With changes, the whole process needs to be re-executed and any subsequent work redone. While this is acceptable for a single pass, when it comes to handling design changes (an inevitability on most projects), it’s not so smart. Inventor’s new tools for working with imported geometry let you maintain a link to the originating data - in this case, from Siemens’ NX
