Quick Inventor Tip: Get your drawing dimensions automatically 

This was very helpful, my class is working on a timed assignment and everyone spent around 30 minutes dimensioning 5 parts while I did it in 5 minutes!

I hope you appreciated the value in my like, I had to log in 2 step authentication and then a huge like for how much of a game changer this video is! THANKS!

Very good, tnx

How easy is it to get dimensions on your Inventor drawing?

Even though my drawing was metric, the sheet is trying to dimension in imperial units, how do I fix this? I tried a Google search, but Inventor 2018 isn't showing Units when I go to Document Settings.

Thank You Sir, this helpfully for my beginners.

Thank you :) It was helpful..

This actually was pretty helpful!!

My model has tolerances (e.g. h7 & H7) in my .ipt which I used the green traingle and yellow circle (from the "Evaluated Size") to make the model the size I wanted the tool shop to machine it to (they use a CADCAM software and just import the model and select lines). The issue was that the .dwg then updated to show the "nominal" size the model reflected in the .ipt. Is there a way to auto retrieve the dimensions used to created the .ipt and not the Model size?

I designed a part in fusion 360 and imported it into inventor 2017 pro to utilize this auto dimension feature. I followed your instructions and created a drawing. When I select the base view and right click on it and select retrieve dimensions, the box pulls up as it should. When I click "select dimension", no dimensions pop up. It will however allow me to manually dimension the drawing. What could be the issue here. Does the part have to be designed in inventor?

G'day Lars, is there a way to automatically dimension the vertical and horizontal extents of a view of a part in the drawing? All of my parts have a STP file accompanying them and the drawing is only used to check scale and overall dimensions after being folded.

well this saved me a ton of time

Thanks for very helpful tutorial.

Thank You sir, From Bangladesh
