But why have the option when it is not available? I know many people who will be celebrating this and maybe some who will not. If you select or unselect the option to have it visible nothing happens. Going back to the mini toolbar, It seems to have disappeared in Inventor 2020. Inventor 2020 will now prompt for you to select a plane or face to create a sketch if it is not available and on completion will flow into the extrude command to finish off what you started. If you did not have a visible sketch available in Inventor 2019 when activating the Extrude command, you would be prompted with a warning that you needed a 2D sketch to create the extrude. The Extrude command in question does not give an error when you initiate the command and do not have a sketch first drawn. With the advent of the 2020 release, Inventor is making it easier and quicker to get results out of commands, from activating to completion. Gone ye olde dialog box and enter ye new properties palette. In Inventor 2020 things have changed…and for the better I might add. To engage with a command like Extrude, Inventor has traditionally used the dialog box to navigate the controls.įor a while you were also able to use the mini toolbar in tandem with the dialog box and that just irritated users to bits and pieces.Īutodesk never got rid of the mini toolbar they just disabled the view of it.
