Reduce repeat work
Create and manage documentation for individual components or complete assemblies without rebuilding the same preparation steps each time.
Autodesk Inventor workflow software
Automate the repetitive work. Keep the engineering control.
EasyDesign helps Inventor users review assemblies, find and create drawings, apply configured standards, check documentation and prepare production-ready outputs through one guided workflow.
Inside EasyDesign
A guided workspace for everyday Inventor workflows.
Explore the main workspace, configurable drawing and export settings, and saved-project tools. Select any screenshot to view it at full size.
Core benefits
Faster documentation with better visibility and consistency.
Apply configured standards
Use established Inventor templates alongside configured view layouts, visual styles, annotations and sheet-metal options.
Find documentation gaps
Use status indicators, previews, search and filtering to focus on missing drawings and issues that need attention.
Assembly workspace
Plan drawing work from a clear view of the assembly.
Load supported Inventor assemblies and parts, then review relevant components before documentation or production output begins.
Navigate complex assemblies
Work with linked tree and planning-grid views, component thumbnails, search, filtering, occurrence counts and bulk selection.
Find existing drawings
Automatically identify associated drawings, re-check when required and see drawing availability alongside component information.
Reach related files quickly
Open relevant components and drawings in Inventor from the planning workspace, while configured library and Content Center locations remain out of focus.
Drawing creation
Create the documentation you need using your configured rules.
Build consistent layouts
Create Front, Right and Isometric views using configured templates, paper-size rules, positioning and sheet-centering logic.
Control drawing appearance
Configure wireframe, hidden-line or shaded views for part and assembly drawings while retaining the active Inventor drawing standard.
Prepare fabrication drawings
Optionally create flat-pattern views, simplified laser layouts, outer-extents dimensions and bend-line displays for suitable sheet-metal parts.
Add drafting assistance
Apply optional centermarks and configured dimensioning assistance during drawing creation, ready for the user's final review.
Create parts lists and balloons
Add assembly or part parts lists with positioning, sorting and renumbering options, plus optional balloons using established BOM item numbers.
Build a tailored BOM
Generate an assembly-derived Excel bill of materials shaped around the customer's established parts-list template.
Drawing analysis
Investigate issues before documentation is released.
Visual checks help users focus their engineering review where it is needed instead of manually opening every file.
Drawing availability
See whether an associated drawing has been found for each relevant component.
Update indicators
Surface drawing status and pending-update information for investigation.
Flat-pattern scale
Identify matching, different or not-applicable flat-pattern scale states.
Issue filtering
Focus the workspace on components with identified documentation issues.
Repeat and variant work
Use existing engineering information with appropriate safeguards.
Similarity assistance can identify related parts and assemblies that may share a drawing approach, while retaining checks around model compatibility.
Review similar components
Group candidate parts and assemblies using structural information, supported by source and component thumbnails.
See available source drawings
Highlight existing drawing candidates as well as similar components for which no source drawing is available.
Duplicate drawings carefully
Where compatible ancestry exists, support controlled drawing duplication with model-reference replacement; incompatible actions remain unavailable.
Production outputs
Prepare files for fabrication, purchasing and document control.
Generate drawing formats
Export IDW drawings to PDF, DWG or DXF formats according to the selected production workflow.
Create STEP outputs
Optionally export supported IPT and IAM model data to STEP alongside the required drawing documentation.
Organise and print
Use configured output folders for laser cutting, machining and other processes, with controls for selected drawing printing.
Additional engineering tools
Extend the workflow beyond drawing preparation.
Plan copy-design projects
Plan Copy, Reuse and Exclude actions, destinations and naming for assembly components and associated drawings, with dependency-aware preflight and verification support.
Explore access configurations
Review straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, ladder and access options using dimensional inputs, scaled plan and elevation previews, and candidate results.
Keep company preferences together
Configure templates, styles, output locations, annotations and drawing behaviour, with local settings backup support between software updates.
