Inventor Users! I Built an Add-in to do Amazing Things - DesignX

Hey fellow Inventor users,

If you are looking for ways to improve your design workflow, there is DesignX on the Autodesk App Store. As the creator, I can assure that you will be amazed how much it can help. However, with all the SEO and AI stuff nowadays, it wasn't easy to let people know about it. The struggle with the SEO online is very messed up, so I wanted to reach out directly to the Inventor community.

Here's what DesignX aims to do:

Automate the Mundane: Let DesignX handle those time-consuming, repetitive tasks that drag on projects. Focus on what you do best – design!

Streamline Your Workflow: DesignX is designed to make your workflow smoother, helping you move seamlessly between tasks and projects. Say goodbye to those frustrating inefficiencies.

Boost Productivity: Imagine finishing projects faster with less effort. DesignX could be your key to unlocking new levels of productivity.

You can find the extension on App Store - DesignX

Is DesignX the answer? I don't know yet!

This is where the Inventor community, come in. I'm humbly reaching out to see if DesignX can actually be helpful. Maybe it can save you some time too!

Here are some videos which showcase what DesignX can do: DesignX - YouTube

For Developers or Those with Curiosity

Some people, especially fellow developers, will be curious for a few things about DesignX application. The following may answer what you want to know.

  • DesignX's installer is being built and verified by Autodesk. However, users may receive a warning during the download or during the installation since we didn't want to spend $250 USD a year to subscribe for a certificate.
  • We intended to distribute DesignX for free to the community. However, we have implemented an activation process as a measurement to protect our intellectual property. That is why Inventor users will need an activation code to activate the extension.

Here's what I'd love to know:

  • Have you tried DesignX yet?
  • What are your biggest workflow pain points in Inventor?
  • Any suggestions for improvement?

Let's Discuss and Improve Together!

I'm genuinely interested in creating a tool that benefits Inventor users. So, please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
