Autodesk Inventor Stand Alone Programs
Autodesk Inventor Standards

What it is: - This tool reads a Autodesk Inventor style library, displaying the
standards and all the referenced sub-styles in a tree. Selecting a style in the
tree populates a list of all the other styles in the library that reference the
selected style. It also has a simple report giving the total number of references.
- This tool uses apprentice to look for your projects and list them to find libraries,
similar to the way the Style Library Manager does.
What it isn't: - This tool is not supported by Autodesk (or anyone else for that
matter ;), it's just something I fiddled around with to teach myself vb.net and
figure out hot to parse XML.
- This tool does not look at IDW data, just library XML, so it's not a true "Where
Used" tool.
- This tool is a viewer only, it does not edit the library in any way. It can't
hurt anything because it doesn't change anything
- This tool isn't particularly fast. The brute force approach is not particularly
elegant (I'm a product designer, remember ;), but it gets the job done. Load time
is directly proportional to the size of your library
Download .NET Source Code for those that want
to poke around in the code.
Which Autodesk Inventor Version
DOWNLOAD
Created by Poul Skadborg
Paul made a handly little app that lists the versions of all the Autodesk Inventor
files in a folder and its subfolders.
It is possible to exclude a selected version from the list.
I have used it after running the Migration Utillity. This way I get a very quick
list of which files the Migration Utillity didn't migrate succesfully.
The application is just one single .exe file: - no installation required, just run
it from anywhere - will not change anything on your system (registry, system folders,
Autodesk Inventor files...)
