Plugins for Autodesk Inventor: Expanding the Capabilities of the CAD Environment

Autodesk Inventor is one of the leading CAD programs for 3D modeling and design, but its functionality can be significantly expanded with plugins. They help automate routine processes, speed up the workflow, and provide convenient integration with other formats and tools.

1. ThreadModeler

ThreadModeler is one of the most popular plugins for Inventor, allowing you to quickly create realistic threaded connections. Thanks to automation, this tool eliminates the need to model threads manually, which significantly saves time and makes models more accurate and detailed.

2. Drawing Porter 

Drawing Porter allows you to automate the processes of exporting and printing drawings in various formats, such as DWG, PDF, SAT, or STEP. This is a convenient solution for working with large sets of files: just configure the settings once, and the plugin will quickly process all the documentation.

3. Feature Recognition 

Feature Recognition simplifies the integration of parts received in SAT or STEP formats. It converts them into editable Inventor models, preserving the geometry and allowing you to work with them in the same way as with native files. This is especially useful for collaborative projects where data needs to be exchanged between different CAD systems.

Other useful tools

• AutoSave Add-in — automatically saves projects, reducing the risk of data loss.
• ADC (Automatic Drawing Creator) — creates drawings in a few clicks based on 3D models, saving engineers time.

Inventor plugins without installation — in Aristeem

Aristeem has integrated the main plugins for Autodesk Inventor directly into its cloud service. This means that threadModeler, Drawing Porter, Feature Recognition, AutoSave Add-in, and ADC are available immediately after launching the program — no searching, downloading, or complicated settings required.

Why this is convenient for users:

• Quick start — all tools are ready to use, no additional installation required.
• Works on any hardware — even on a low-end PC, because the calculations are performed by the Aristeem server.
• A single environment for the team — every engineer gets the same set of plugins and settings.
• Reliability and security — automatic saving and the cloud environment minimize the risk of data loss.

This is how Aristeem turns Inventor into a ready-to-use platform for efficient engineering work, where plugins are integrated and work stably from the very first minute.
