Autodesk Inventor Fusion technology preview introduces powerful new change manager functionality

1. Autodesk Inventor Fusion Technology Preview Introduces Powerful New Change
Manager Functionality
Provides Bidirectional Workflows and Unrivaled Ease of Use
A second Autodesk Inventor Fusion Technology Preview is now available on Autodesk Labs.
This technology preview provides groundbreaking Digital Prototyping capabilities that unite
direct and parametric modeling workflows within a single digital model created in Autodesk
Inventor software.
It adds new functionality based on user feedback, and with the introduction of bidirectional
workflows, the new Inventor Fusion Technology Preview unites both the power and control of
parametric, history-based modeling and the freedom and ease-of-use productivity advantages
of direct modeling.
Users no longer have to choose between these modeling approaches to solve design
problems. The new Inventor Fusion Technology Preview provides the freedom to choose the
best modeling approach for the task at hand, and then move back and forth as necessary.
• One of the key new features in Inventor Fusion Technology Preview is the change
manager functionality*, which enables users to edit a model in Inventor Fusion and
then move it into Autodesk Inventor software, automatically updating the model if the
user decides to accept the changes. As a result, users can experience smooth,
bidirectional parametric and direct modeling workflows without being forced into one
approach or the other.
• The technology preview also debuts a new moderated Wiki Help site that enables
users to more effectively collaborate, troubleshoot and share ideas and reference
materials. Users can add or edit help information and share videos, best practices, tips,
tricks, tutorials, comments, tags and Web widgets.
• Refinements and enhancements to the user interface, sketching and modeling tools,
and underlying graphics technology help to boost productivity and increase ease of
use.
