It can be very time consuming to constantly check your design each time you make a change. Fortunately Inventor provides tools to monitor your design limitations. This allows you to focus on your real job.
Autolimits are available inside the part or in the assembly files. Inventor can monitor lengths (paths), distances (point to point), angles, diameters, minimum distance between objects, area, perimeters, mass, or volume. However today well just be looking at monitoring the length of a wire in the assembly.
