Virtual Component Library
Note for Inventor users enabling the add-in!
| Note! Inventor 2025 users has to install completely new version. Check all versions from Autodesk Apps Store. |
Virtual Component Library allows you to create one assembly (iam) where all the virtual components are saved. After that with Virtual Comp. Lib command you can place them into your assembly.
Virtual Component Library saves time when you have to enter iProperties for the virtual component only once and then can re-use the component.
