UCS Inspector improves the daily workflow with User Coordinate Systems (UCS) in Autodesk® Inventor®.

It helps you select, inspect, organize, and adjust UCS positions and orientations in parts and assemblies, with precise numeric controls, keyboard shortcuts, and visual workflow tools.

Key features

• Select UCS directly from the model screen.
• Filter and browse UCSs in parts and assemblies.
• Inspect UCS position values: X, Y, and Z.
• Inspect UCS orientation values in degrees.
• Apply precise arithmetic changes using +, -, ×, and ÷.
• Use configurable nudges in millimeters and degrees.
• Switch movement mode between LOCAL and GLOBAL axes.
• LOCAL mode moves the UCS along its own rotated or inclined axes.
• GLOBAL mode moves the UCS using the document or assembly coordinate axes.
• Text box relative input, such as +25, also respects LOCAL/GLOBAL mode.
• Alt+Enter can force relative movement from typed values.
• Express HUD for fast access to recent UCSs, screen pick, LOCAL/GLOBAL mode, and Gozalo mode.
• Favorite UCS slots and recent UCS shortcuts.
• Snapshot tools for saving and restoring UCS positions.
• Quick actions: Center, Next UCS, Pick on Screen, Copy, and Paste.
• UCS visibility tools: Show All, Hide All, Focus, and owner-aware selection.
• Optional Gozalo workflow assistant for faster UCS connection and renaming workflows.
• Event logging for support and diagnostics.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Alt + Q / W, A / S, Z / X for quick UCS movement.
• Alt + 1–6 for recent UCS slots.
• Ctrl + Alt + L to toggle LOCAL/GLOBAL movement mode.
• Ctrl + Space to open the Express UCS HUD.
• Alt + D for measuring in millimeters.
• Alt + G for measuring angles.
• Alt + Enter to apply relative numeric input.

Typical use cases

• Adjusting UCS positions in complex assemblies.
• Moving a UCS along an inclined pipe, flange, or structural element.
• Switching between local part-oriented movement and global assembly movement.
• Quickly selecting recently used UCSs without searching the browser tree.
• Aligning, reviewing, and correcting UCSs used for layout, fabrication, or coordination tasks.
• Reducing repetitive clicks when working with multiple UCSs in Inventor.

Benefits

• Faster workflow: Fewer clicks and faster UCS access.
• Better precision: Numeric edits reduce manual placement errors.
• Better control: LOCAL/GLOBAL mode adapts movement to the real modeling context.
• Better traceability: Logs help diagnose support cases.
• Lightweight UI: WinForms panel designed for daily CAD work.

Compatibility

• Tested with Inventor 2026 and Inventor 2027.
• Windows 10/11 x64.
• .NET Framework 4.8.
