With the release of Autodesk Inventor 2010 a great new feature was added called Multi-body or the ability for us to create multiple solid bodies within a single part file. I believe their are a few good reasons to add this to our workflows:
1. Skeletal Layouts
2. Plastic Part Design
3. True "Top Down" Design Approach
4. More Options than Working with Derive Component
5. Similar to Designing in 'MDT" Mechanical Desktop
Let's take a look!!!
