Autodesk has announced Inventor 2020, which will be available for users to download over the next few weeks.
The update refreshes the look of Inventor while adding enhancements and new functionality.
Like AutoCAD 2020, Inventor 2020 delivers a new theme interfaceâbut itâs a light theme rather than AutoCADâs new dark theme. The theme comes with new lighting styles, command icons and graphic presets. For example, the Extrude, Sweep, Revolve and Thread commands have all been moved to panels.
Inventor 2020 also enhances support for multi-monitor workflows,allowing users to dock multiple Inventor files on multiple screens within a single Inventor session. Thereâs also a new read-only mode allowing any Inventor file to be viewed in canvas without requiring a license.
Inventor 2020 adds a new command called Unwrap, which allows users to flatten a set of continuous faces into a flat surface. Some existing commands have been enhanced, including Sweep, which now has the ability to sweep a tool body, and Frame Generator, which adds End Cap functionality and improves Notch, Miter and Insert Frame workflows.
