In most areas of Autodesk Inventor Professional and Vault, multi-selection works by highlighting the first item in a list, then holding SHIFT while selecting the last item — automatically including everything in between.

Components lower in the hierarchy can change their action based on their parent by holding CTRL while switching the parent’s status. This allows you to control component actions efficiently, even in complex assemblies.

In this month’s IT Bulletin, we're uncovering three subtle but significant risks that could be undermining your cybersecurity strategy. From overlooked permissions in your apps to the consequences of mismanaged guest accounts and the dangers of unsecured backups, these threats often go unnoticed until it's too late. Here's what you need to know:
In modern Architecture, engineering, construction and design environments, the pressure is on IT teams to deliver fast, consistent, and secure software setups. Whether you're supporting ten users or ten thousand, manual installation methods simply can’t keep up with the demands of large-scale CAD environments. That’s where CQi (Configuration Intelligence)steps in. At Symetri, we developed CQi to help organisations automate CAD deployment, reduce risk, and maintain standardisation—all without increasing the burden on IT departments. In this blog, we’ll explore how CQi works and why it’s becoming a go-to solution for smarter CAD management.
In the construction and architecture industry, access to accurate and editable building data is critical for efficient design, planning, and execution. Yet, many firms still face the challenge of working with static drawings or locked file formats that limit progress.
