Released in November 2024 as a targeted update to the Inventor 2025 series, Autodesk Inventor Professional 2025.2.1 (x64) focuses on sketching precision, sheet metal efficiency, and interoperability enhancements, delivering refined workflows for mechanical designers and engineers handling complex assemblies and fabrications.
Key Highlights
- Midpoint Line in Sketching – New command creates symmetrical lines from a specified midpoint with automatic coincident constraints, streamlining symmetric designs and reducing manual adjustments.
- Sheet Metal Corner Tools – Bulk select multiple edges for rounding and chamfering corners, accelerating fabrication-ready models without repetitive clicks.
- IFC Properties Viewer – Live selection tool displays IFC properties directly in assemblies, even in Express Mode, for seamless AEC integration and data validation.
- Revit Interoperability – Support for opening future Revit 2026 files; enhanced export to Revit 2023+ versions with improved simplification and compatibility.
- Temporary Color Overrides – Override color schemes and backgrounds on-the-fly in part, assembly, and presentation environments for better visualization during reviews.
- IPN iProperties Search – Full-text search for dependent document iProperties in presentation files, boosting efficiency in exploded views and documentation.
- Stability & Performance – Fixes for Display Separate Colors in Express Mode, reduced crashes in large assemblies, and optimized .NET 8 API compatibility.
