How does Autodesk Inventor Professional extend 3D design data to downstream users?
Because the entire design, complete with tubing, cabling, and piping, is built in Autodesk Inventor Professional, the design data available for downstream use is more complete and accurate. By using a common design platform this enables people in the extended design chain to leverage the design data for additional uses such as assembly and maintenance instructions. This capability can replace the common practice of taking pictures of machines or sending technicians into the field to explain how cabling or tubes are routed. The results are shorter time to market and lower costs.
