Apps for Autodesk Inventor
Updates for SolidSteel parametric and DSTV Assistant

With the release of version 2.1.3 for SolidSteel parametric and version 1.1.3-beta for the DSTV Assistant, our Apps for Autodesk Inventor have been enhanced with functional improvements and expanded capabilities.

DSTV Assistant (important):
With the new version we have fixed an issue that in certain cases could prevent Inventor from starting. We have already contacted affected users directly, but if you downloaded the DSTV Assistant in the last few days but haven't installed it yet, please download and install the latest version.
