New Functionality in LiveLink™ for Inventor® in Version 5.2a

•	The LiveLink™ interface now supports Inventor® 2017.

•

The LiveLink™ interface now keeps track of the file name and path; and the table record of the synchronized iPart or iAssembly; as well as the view representation, positional representation, and level of detail representation, of the synchronized document. These properties are detected during the first synchronization. For subsequent synchronizations, the same properties are used, as long as the specified file is open in Inventor®, and the specified table record and representations exist.

•	For assemblies, the LiveLink™ interface now automatically synchronizes parameters that are selected in the component files. Previously the parameters in the components had to be selected from the synchronized assembly file.

•

With a COMSOL Client installation of LiveLink™ for Inventor®, it is now possible to launch a COMSOL Server interface in a window embedded into the Inventor user interface by using the newly added Connect to Server button. From the COMSOL Server interface, it is possible to browse, and run apps, including those that are based on geometry synchronized from Inventor® using the LiveLink™ interface.
