Autodesk Inventor 2026.1 with Offline Help & Extensions

Assembly Enhancements (What's New in 2026.1)
Check out the enhancements made to Inventor that impact the Assembly environment.

Joint Enhancement
To modify a joint value, in the model browser single-click a joint and edit its value. To edit a joint, in the model browser, double-click a joint to display the dialog or in the graphics area double-click the joint glyph to edit the joint.


Mate Constraints Enhancements

Multi selections for Mate constraint
For Mate constraints, it is now possible to select multiple constraints that are mated to the first selection. While placing a constraint, use the new Multiselect flyout option in the Selections area. Multiselection is not possible while editing. When multiple selections are made, the counter next to the Selections title shown the number of selected instances. The number is only shown during the selection process. You can also link parameters using the new check box. The check box is enabled after multiple selections are made.


Double-click edit iMate constraint result in an assembly
To edit an iMate constraint result in an assembly, in the model browser, double-click a iMate constraint to display the dialog to edit the constraint.

Highlight differences to compare table row values
When editing an iComponent or Model State table, a new Compare column with a checkbox is added to select rows. By default, all rows are unchecked. Check or uncheck the rows to add or remove from the comparison. If more than two rows are being compared, the first selected row is used as the base for comparison with other rows. If the base row is deleted, the second selected row is used as the base. When the "All Rows" toggle is on, the first row is still used as the base. To change the base comparison row, select Set As Default Row from the context-menu.
Coloring is used to distinguish the compared rows and cells:
- Orange: Indicates the base row.
- Blue: Indicates cell differences.
- Grey: Rows that are not being compared.


Content Center Component Change Size
You can now select multiple content center components of the same family and change the size of all selected components to one size. Change Size enables when all selected components are of the same family, regardless of their size. The component dialog populates with the parameters of the first component selected.


Design View Representations
The improved messaging for saving assembly view representation changes distinguishes between the Primary view representations and custom view representations. The updated message displays when attempting to save changes to a locked view representation.

Drawing Enhancements (What's New in 2026.1)


Autoproject for drawing sketches is now available. The option can be turned On or Off from a command right-click menu, such as line, circle, and so on. The default setting for Autoproject is managed by the Application Options > Sketch tab > Autoproject edges during curve creation setting.

Recover Model Annotations
Model annotations (model & 3DA) can be retrieved multiple times when a view is part of a family of views. This doesn't apply when creating a base view with multiple views and when recovery on view placement is enabled in the Application Options.


Continuous View Labeling
Previously, when you placed a view and then deleted it, the numbering of the details continued uninterrupted. Now, if you delete the last section, detail, or auxiliary view (or several of them), the label of the new view (e.g., A, B…) will be adjusted so that the index continues from the last existing view label in the drawing.

Sketch Enhancements (What's New in 2026.1)

Flip Sketch Dimension


You can now change sketch geometry direction using Flip Direction from a sketch dimension right-click menu. Single or multiple dimensions can be selected and flipped. You must be editing the sketch in order to the flip direction.

Sketch Text Preview
Preview is improved for all planar 2D Sketch text. The text previews and updates with changes as they are made when creating or editing any sketch text.


Replace Sketch References
Previously, when a reference (projected geometry) was lost, it was necessary to delete it and select a new one to constrain the geometry. In this release of Inventor, support for replacing references for projected sketch geometry isn added. For a single projected geometry in a 2D sketch, use the new Replace Reference option from the right-click menu. The geometry type can only be repaired with the same type of geometry — line for line and circle for circle. Note that loops are not allowed, and reference geometry from other parts in an assembly is not supported.


General Enhancements (What's New in 2026.1)

Copy File Path
The right-click menu for any part or assembly file now includes the Copy File Path co
mmand. This provides an easy method for using a component's file path to access other files in the same path.


Open Dialog Navigation Enhancement
You can now control the display of the windows navigation section within the Open dialog with the new Application Options > Files tab setting Show Windows Folder Navigation in the File Dialogs.


Interoperability (What's New in 2026.1)

Shared View Enhancements
Part and Assembly Design Views are now exported by the Shared Views operation enabling better collaboration. Exported content includes design view camera, color, visibility, and the Publish setting of the design view. Some limitations apply.


Translator Enhancements (What's New in 2026.1)
