What is included in the Premium Service Layer?
The Premium Service Layer is a consultancy, training, and
support offering designed to fully unburden engineering teams
and optimize Autodesk Inventor workflows at a process level.
Instead of providing individual tools, this package focuses on
configuration, guidance, and long-term improvement of data
quality, automation logic, and working methods.
It is intended for companies that want to standardize their
Inventor environment, reduce manual work, and continuously
improve efficiency with expert support.
Status: Coming Soon – this package is not yet available for
purchase.
Key benefits
- Deliver maximum automation across export, drawings, BOM, and properties.
- Improve costing/quoting workflows using surface-based calculations.
- Use advanced BOM quantity logic for complex assemblies and ERP preparation.
- Support high-volume teams with consistent outputs and reduced manual handling.
Typical use cases
- Enterprise BOM preparation using sum/logic-based quantities across assemblies.
- Quoting and costing workflows (painting/coating/machining) using surface area.
- High-volume publishing pipelines for releases (PDF/DXF/STEP/BIM).
- Large projects requiring strict property and naming consistency.
