Quick Tip: Direct Editing of Cylindrical Features

Do you ever find yourself working with an assembly or part inside of Inventor and need to make a few little tweaks? This quick tip is for you.

With Inventor’s direct edit modeling, you can quickly adjust dimensions (such as diameter) or adjust the location of holes or cuts based on reference points on a model. That functionality isn’t limited to Inventor-based file types either. As you’ll see in the video below, it can also be used to edit Solidworks assemblies and models.
