: For the first time, users could create multiple independent sheet metal bodies within a single part file. This allows for a top-down design approach where complex assemblies can be laid out in one file before being separated into individual components.
: These act as the "root" of the design, controlling thickness, bend allowances (K-factor), and corner treatments. In 2016, different rules can be applied to different bodies within the same multi-body part. Autodesk NEW Inventor 2016 on sheet metal design
: This highly requested feature allows for the creation of sharp corners (zero radius) in sheet metal components, which more accurately reflects certain fabrication methods and avoids error messages in the Bend Radius field. : For the first time, users could create
