Measuring and Constraining Inventor Parts

Aldred Boyd | Application Engineer - Technical

Inventor can be a real nuisance when it comes to constraining components that have a measurement up to 8 decimal places. When you are not thinking about those high tolerances, you might be trying to constrain your parts (with a measurement of 10.2 and not 10.213659) things start to go wrong, and you can get very frustrated. This video demonstrates what workflow you can take to alleviate that stress of having every constraint bring back an error when you know that the measurements are right (but Inventor tells you it is wrong)
