How do I use DrawingPrintManager to control print settings in an Autodesk Inventor drawing?

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.

Totally okay-and encouraged! Autodesk provides the Inventor SDK specifically so developers like you can build custom applications and add-ins. But yeah, DLL deployment can be a bit of a minefield if you're not careful with how Inventor expects things to be wired up.

Here’s How to Ship the Required DLLs

• Best Practice: Rely on Inventor’s Installed COM Interfaces
• Don’t Copy Inventor’s Native DLLs

In the context of Autodesk Inventor (and many CAD systems), the 'reference vector' for an arc typically refers to the direction vector used to define the orientation of the arc's plane or its sweep direction-especially when the arc is created in 3D space.

To add bolts, nuts, washers, and other fasteners in Inventor’s Design Accelerator, you’ll want to use the Bolted Connection Generator a powerful tool that automates the placement of standard hardware.
