Digging a little deeper into those folders I traditionally over look that come with your Inventor media. I was surprised with a ton of great functionality. The latest one I have been playing with are those listed under drawing tools. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2009\SDK\UserTools\DrawingTools. Here I found 3 handy items: Chain Dimension which can relieve you of some tedious work, Alpha Sort for automatically putting your drawings into alphabetical order and revision cloud a lot of people like the idea of using the revision clouds with Design Review I can add revision clouds right from Inventor I just don’t have the selection like I do with Design Review. With this it will create a sketch under the view that I will be applying it to. I thought it would be really cool if I could use crop view with it but unfortunately you can’t.

Saaweeeet!!! G'mornin' ta U 2... keep up the good work. Your tips and tricks are GREATLY appreciated! My workplace doesn't allow streaming video and I'd really like to share your videe's with all my co-workers but IT is too scared to allow my dept. (which is responsible for CAD training) access to your site. Any suggestions?
Thanks again,
JD
