What features can I customize?

Most features are pre-selected for installation. However, you can de-select any feature you choose not to install or select one of the few features that have not been pre-selected. To do so, you must first reveal the feature tree, which is hidden when you choose a Typical install in the configuration area. To reveal the feature tree, choose the Custom install option.

Here are the features available when you install your product:

• Model Documentation: Interface for Autodesk Inventor Server, a programming component that allows you to open and query the geometry and feature information of an Autodesk Inventor part file or other imported models and to create the corresponding data within your product.
• CAD Standards: Tools for managing design files for compliance with your standards.
• Database: Database access tools.
• Dictionaries: Multi-language dictionaries.
