Creating and Managing Custom iLogic Snippets
Sep 18, 2025iLogic is a powerful tool inside Inventor that allows users to bring true intelligence into their designs. Autodesk already gives you a library of built-in snippets, but you are able to create your own custom snippets?
By building custom snippets you can speed up your coding, reuse proven logic across parts, assemblies, and drawings, and make your design process far more efficient.
In this session we will show you how to create your own snippets from scratch, how to manage them, and how to organize them into a personal library. You will learn how to work smarter, maintain consistency, and unlock the full potential of iLogic in your everyday design workflow.
