Easy Document Publishing

Publish your documents in a single click!

With T4I, document publishing is just one click away. You can publish the documentation in PDF (drawings), DXF (drawings, sheet metal flat patterns – also from assemblies), DWG (drawings), and STEP (parts and assemblies).

Publishing workflow example

  1. Open the document you want to publish – part file, assembly, or a drawing.

  2. Use one of the export commands on Be.Smart T4I (ribbon) -> Publish (panel).

  3. You will be notified in the top right corner of the Inventor window the publishing was done.

  4. Right-mouse-click the file name in the model/drawing browser tree and select the “Open File Location” command.

  5. The default published file location is in subfolders named according to the published file type.

Publishing settings

Publishing settings can be changed in Be.Smart T4I (ribbon) -> Be.Smart T4I (panel) -> Edit settings -> Publisher tab.

To change the published file location, the relative paths (see Saving files using relative paths) can be used. Also, if you need a better configuration of your exported DWG, DXF, or DXF 3D (flat patterns) files, you need to provide your own customized INI file.
