Stop wasting hours on repetitive Inventor tasks.
Mechanical engineers spend too much time exporting files, preparing PDFs, and estimating material costs instead of designing.
Design Booster Free Macros turns these into one-click macros: IPT → STEP, IDW → PDF, Material Cost from mass.
Log in and Download Free Macros Now — install in 2 minutes, save hours every week.
What you get:
-
IPT to STP Export: All open parts → STEP files in same folder, same name. Supplier-ready geometry in seconds, no manual saving.
-
IDW to PDF: Turn drawings into shareable PDFs instantly. Perfect for client reviews, approvals, and documentation.
-
Material Cost Calculator: Enter price per kg/lb → instant total cost from Inventor mass properties. Quote-ready estimates inside CAD.
Why it works for you:
-
No learning curve: Run from ribbon or VBA editor, works with Inventor 2025+.
-
No subscriptions: 100% free forever, free login, lightweight VBA files.
-
Real productivity: Fixes MechSkills-identified pains like BOM delays and handoff friction.
-
Proven by engineers: Built by a 15-year mech engineer for daily use in PL/EU workflows.
