Inventor 2018 includes improved mesh handling capabilities and now fully supports mesh objects in the drawing environment.

When editing a view, users are now able to toggle Mesh features on or off under the "recovery Options" tab.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to set the Surface Bodies & Mesh Bodies visible as the default setting.

    At the moment I'm having to edit every single view to 'check' the boxes

    Hi Tim

    There is no way to do this "out of the box". I'll look into writing a bit of iLogic to do this (I'll post it on my blog when I get a chance), as I'm sure it will be quite handy for a lot of other users too!

    I've written some iLogic code to turn Mesh and Surface data on.
