Zidro Solutions is a comprehensive productivity add-in for Autodesk® Inventor®. Built by engineers for engineers, it helps eliminate tedious, repetitive tasks so you can focus more on design and less on software management.
Stop repeating the same manual steps throughout your day. Zidro Solutions streamlines common Inventor workflows with the following tools:
1. No-Code Part Configurator (Z-Part Studio & Builder)
- The Problem: Building smart, configurable models typically requires writing and maintaining complex iLogic code.
- The Solution: Create a visual configurator for any part in minutes without coding. Set up sliders, drop-down lists, and rules so team members, including junior designers or sales representatives, can safely generate standard part variations without breaking the model. The tool automatically generates the correct Part Numbers and supports one-click export to STEP and IPT formats.
2. One-Click Documentation & Production Exports
- Automated Drawings: Generate ready-to-use 2D drawings with Top, Side, and Isometric views, along with automatically placed Parts Lists and balloons, without manually placing each view.
- PDF Book: Gather all related drawings from an assembly and merge them into a single PDF book with a Table of Contents and custom watermarks.
- DXF Generator: Batch-export sheet metal flat patterns for manufacturing, using file names that follow your company naming standard.
- Smart BOM: Export your Bill of Materials directly to Excel in a format tailored to your purchasing workflow.
3. Assembly Performance & Health
- Lag Hunter: Scan large assemblies to identify components with high geometric complexity, such as detailed threads or complex springs, that may contribute to performance issues. Selected components can then be simplified with one click.
- Project Audit: Audit the entire assembly for missing Part Numbers, unassigned materials, or missing 2D drawings before release.
- One-Click Cleanup: Hide work planes, axes, and sketches across the assembly with a single command.
4. Smart Modeling Utilities
- Assembly Cloner: Copy an entire project, including its drawings, while automatically renaming files, for example by replacing "Project_A" with "Project_B".
- Advanced Replace: Replace components in an assembly while preserving existing constraints where supported.
- Smart Lock & AutoDrill: Quickly ground selected components at the assembly origin (0,0,0) and automate repetitive hole-drilling tasks.
