GRAITEC STEEL now includes the trusted Inventor productivity, automation, BOM, export, drawing, and model clean-up workflows previously known as PowerPack for Inventor.
Is PowerPack for Inventor still available?
PowerPack for Inventor is now part of GRAITEC STEEL. Existing users can continue to access familiar Inventor productivity tools for BOM export, batch export, drawing management, model clean-up, iProperties, feature migration, thread modelling, undercut creation, and manufacturing data workflows. New customers should explore GRAITEC STEEL as the current Inventor productivity offer.
What remains available?
The familiar PowerPack for Inventor functionality remains relevant inside the new GRAITEC STEEL offer.
Inventor productivity tools
Users can continue to benefit from tools that help speed up everyday modelling, clean up files, manage model information, and improve Inventor workspace control.
BOM and export workflows
GRAITEC STEEL includes BOM export, batch export (including 2D/3D PDF, DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, SAT, and RFA formats.), and manufacturing output tools.
Drawing management tools
Drawing workflows remain a key part of the offer, including batch print, drawing status checks, title block/border replacement, grid annotations, weld balloons, tolerance tables, and inspection dimension tables.
Model clean-up and file health
Users can continue using purge tools, backup removal, iLogic rule removal, Inventor version checking, and file validation workflows to maintain cleaner, healthier Inventor models and assemblies.
Part and manufacturing tools
Tools such as iDogBone, Thread Modeler, Undercut, and Feature Migrator remain important for users preparing models for manufacturing, CNC workflows, and accurate part representation.
Why the change matters
GRAITEC STEEL gives steel teams a clearer path from modelling to detailing, documentation, and fabrication-ready outputs. Instead of evaluating separate legacy tools, customers can now understand the full GRAITEC STEEL workflow in one place.
- A more unified steel workflow
Steel detailing teams often need to move between modelling, connections, stairs, railings, drawing preparation, and fabrication outputs. GRAITEC STEEL brings these workflows together under one product direction. - Advance Steel and Inventor coverage
The new GRAITEC STEEL positioning supports users working across Autodesk Advance Steel and Inventor workflows, helping teams extend their existing Autodesk environments with specialist steel productivity tools. - Stairs, railings, connections, and fabrication workflows in one offer
The former PowerPack capabilities remain valuable because they solve practical detailing problems: repetitive modelling, stair and railing configuration, connection automation, grid and level control, drawing preparation, and manufacturing data exchange.
PowerPack for Inventor productivity features included in GRAITEC STEEL
Resolve Unresolved Components
Quickly resolve unresolved components by automatically identifying, downloading, and replacing missing components in your assemblies.
Easily Migrate Features
Increase efficiency by easily migrating features from assembly level to part level. Select features in the Feature Migrator browser and choose to keep them at the assembly level, supress or delete them.
One-Click Thread Generation
Generate 3D threads in one click, using the underlying thread feature properties for enhanced detail and precision.
iCopy Drawings
Leverage the iCopy Drawings feature to automatically replace title blocks, update borders, and remove iLogic rules within batch drawing processing.
Weld Balloons
Weld Balloon functionality streamlines and automates the procedure of placing balloons on both standard welds and fillet welds.
iDogBone
Streamline your CNC machining in Autodesk Inventor. Automate dogbone joint creation for wooden parts. Produce precise, ready-to-manufacture joints, considering cutting tool diameter and constraints.

Remove iLogic Rules
Save time by reducing manual cleanup. Improve design efficiency by simplifying iLogic rule management. Search and remove iLogic rules across multiple components
Batch Print
Scan all drawings linked to the opened assembly, select the desired ones, and print them regardless of whether they are in. idw or .dwg format.
Drawing status
Ensure your drawings remain up to date by verifying their status. Avoid using drawings created in an older version or those that haven’t synced with the model.
Read Inventor Version
Improve stability and performance of your Inventor files. Migrate files individually or in batches to the latest version.
Inspection Dimension Table
Gain confidence by ensuring compliance with industry standards like ASME and ISO in your Inventor drawings. Automate the creation of inspection dimensions and produce accurate documentation.
Title Block Swap / Border Frame Swap
Simplify your template management in Inventor drawings. Adhere to company or project standards by quickly replacing title blocks and transferring attribute values.
Tolerance table
Boost your confidence by ensuring your Inventor drawings comply with industry standards such as ASME and ISO. Display tolerance dimensions to produce precise and accurate documentation for fabrication process.
Browser Name
Customize your model browser by displaying different information in the name of the assembly components by applying different properties available in the model or User Defined properties.
Add/Remove custom iProperties
Improve your data organization. Manage metadata in your Inventor models effectively by creating, editing, or removing custom properties in your Inventor projects. – use image
On screen graphics
Monitor specific parameters of the assembly in progress by continuously displaying the information on the screen, ensuring the values remain within set limits.
