Field notes

According to the page, the add-in runs inside Inventor on the user's PC, with no model upload to cloud. It describes choosing the smallest readable sheet from A4 to A0 using normalized ISO 5455 scales, and adapting dimensioning rules to part types—for example, chain dimensions for sheet-metal holes and thread information read from the model. Generated drawings are described as editable .idw files, alongside PDF and sheet-metal DXF output.
