Dimensioning can quickly become one of the most repetitive and time-consuming parts of the drawing creation process. In this 7th session of Autodesk Inventor Automation Academy, we’ll combine two advanced automation workflows into one practical walkthrough focused on automating dimensions inside Inventor drawings.
You’ll learn how to place dimensions by working directly with drawing geometry and curves, then expand into more advanced techniques using attributes and intelligent selection logic to target the exact entities you want. Instead of hard-coding every edge or manually selecting geometry, we’ll explore scalable approaches that make drawing automation more flexible, reusable, and production-ready.
Whether you’re building Inventor add-ins, experimenting with iLogic, or trying to reduce drawing cleanup time, this session will help you better understand how dimension automation actually works behind the scenes.
Our agenda:
- Automating dimensions from drawing geometry
- Working with drawing curves and view data
- Selecting geometry intelligently without manual picking
- Using attributes to identify and target entities
- Building more scalable and reusable drawing automation workflows
