LYNTRX2D · Add-in for Autodesk Inventor
Workshop drawings straight from the Inventor assembly.
LYNTRX2D creates rule-based workshop drawings for turned parts from Inventor assemblies. It recognises functional surfaces in the context of the assembly and adds views, sections, dimensions, fits and tolerances. Drawing approval stays with the designer.
Demo
One shaft, step by step.
From the model with bearing, retaining ring and seal to the finished drawing with fits, surface texture, datums and tolerances – generated by LYNTRX2D.
How it works
Four steps, rule-based.
Read the assembly
Identify manufactured parts and their mating components: bearings, seals, retaining rings, keys.
Understand the part
Part type, shoulders, undercuts, grooves, chamfers and functional surfaces from the geometry.
Derive the drawing
Sheet size and scale from the space needed, views, sections, details, dimension chains without duplicates.
Check itself
Detect overlaps and collisions and correct positions before the designer checks and approves.
Tolerances from the assembly
The components determine the callouts.
Functional callouts do not come from a template but from the components that touch the part. The cards show the callouts in the example shown.
Rolling bearing
Bearing seat and shoulder: Ø25 k6 · Ra 0.8 · cylindricity 0.004 · axial runout 0.011 A-B · datums A, B
Shaft seal
Seal running surface and lead-in chamfer: Ø22 h11 · Ra U 0.8 / L 0.2 · 20°
Retaining ring and key
Groove 1.3 H13 · Ø23.9 h12 · keyway 6 H9 · 3.5 +0.1
Use
A tool that takes routine work off designers.
- Interactive in Inventor: from the ribbon, a whole assembly or a single drawing.
- As a job on the job server: whole assemblies in the background, with nobody at the workstation.
- Your house standard: your own styles, title block and parts list.
- Inventor 2025–2027, earlier versions on request.
What it is and what it is not
- No drawing without review: checking and approval stay with the designer.
- Turned parts today. Milled, sheet metal and other part types are in development.
- Delivered as an add-in – no scripts or rules visible in the document.
Pilot partners wanted.
LYNTRX2D supports turned parts today. Our goal is to derive workshop drawings for every part type in an Inventor assembly. For the pilot phase we are therefore looking for assemblies with a range of parts, such as turned, milled and sheet metal parts. Using your assembly, we test the drawing generation and develop the rules together with you.
