Has anyone had issues with Inventor 2019 opening an .idw much slower than previous versions? The assemblies and parts open great, but actual .idw drawings... seem to take longer in 2019.
For the first opening only because initialization the templates, but after that It's fine.
Hello Everybody
I have a weird problem with the measuring tool,
If I measure a circle it gives radius, diameter and perimeter.
The perimeter should be the circumference of the circle but it is double the correct value. Please see image below. Not a big problem just want to make sure I am not understanding it incorrectly.

Perhaps you need to update you're .IDW files with Task manager?
But why do you using .IDW files and not .DWG files?
Because I do not use "autocad" (dwg) drawings. In inventor, the actual drawings are .idw. In autocad they are .dwg.
I think this is the issue, perhaps.
thank you
I know its autocad, but when someone like to see you're drawing, and don't have inventor then they can't open the .IDW file.
If you make .DWG files you can open the drawings in DWG viewer and thats free.
That's my reasson why i'm using .DWG files.
In the past i made allot of .IDW file;)

I see... its all good... Most people that I deal with dont use dwg files. They use DXF or PDF. The 10 years i have been doing this, no one has asked for a DWG. lol.
Its all good
I suppose you had selected a face with a circle. The perimeter in your image is related to the face. If you create a cylinder of Ø100 and you select one of its circular face the result should be 314,159 - be sure!
If not, nobody would trust in Inventor!
My 2 cents worth on the old IDW v DWG argument: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2019/01/26/dwgvidw/
