Single Body Parts

The most basic part type can vary greatly in complexity from just a few features
to a complex design. The distinguishing features are that it is composed of
one material and one solid body, of which the thickness can vary.

iParts

Most designers have parts that differ by size, material, or other variables, but
the same basic design works in many models.

A single body part contains one solid body that shares
a collection of one or more features. A single body part
defines a single item in a parts list.

An iPart is a table driven master part that
configures standard parts to different sizes
and states. The table can be edited within
Inventor or externally in a spreadsheet.
Each row can control feature state (en-
abled or suppressed), and many other
variables such as feature size, color, mater-
ial, and part number. Table driven iFea-
tures can also be included in an iPart
table.
