Does Autodesk Inventor offer a custom dictionary feature like AutoCAD?

Yes, you can add centerlines and centermarks to a drawing using VBA in Inventor. While the API doesn’t expose every annotation tool directly, it does provide enough access to programmatically create these features.

Not true - both Inventor and SolidWorks are compatible with Microsoft .NET languages like C# and VB.NET, and both offer robust APIs for integration and automation.

Yes, it is possible to preview a drawing in Autodesk Inventor using specific printer settings-but with a few caveats.

Import AutoCAD Blocks into Inventor Drawing Templates

• You can import your standard AutoCAD blocks (with attributes, if needed) directly into an Inventor .dwg or .idw drawing template:
• Open your Inventor drawing template.
• Use Insert > AutoCAD Block to bring in your .dwg blocks.
• Once inserted, they’re saved in the template and can be reused across drawings.
• Even if you delete them from the sheet, they remain available in the block list for future use.

As of now, the Inventor API does not provide write access to sheet formats. You can read the title block definition associated with a sheet format, but you cannot modify or replace it directly via the API.
