Bridge Engineering and Sales with Autodesk Inventor Automation
Drive your sales configurator directly from your Inventor models. Automate CAD output, clear engineering backlogs, and sell custom products faster.
Why Engineering Bottlenecks Slow Down Sales
Sales sells, Engineering draws. The gap is costly.
Without automation, every custom quote requires engineering time to validate and model.
- The Black Hole: Sales requests go to engineering and vanish for days or weeks.
- Manual Modeling: Engineers waste time remodeling "standard specials" instead of R&D.
- Broken Promises: Sales guesses feasibility, leading to production issues later.
- Costly Errors: Manual data entry from CAD to ERP/Quote introduces typos.

Measurable Business Outcomes
Key benefits of Inventor integration
CAD-driven configuration
Use iLogic, parameters, and constraints from Inventor to power real-time product configuration and quoting.
Always up-to-date models
Keep your product logic synchronized with what engineering has approved, reducing rework and costly errors.
Faster quote-to-production
Convert engineering inputs directly into quotes and BOMs without manual conversion steps.
Seamless Data Flow Architecture
Mercura sends configuration parameters to Inventor (local or cloud via Forge/APS), which returns updated models, drawings, and BOMs automatically.
- Parameters
- iLogic Rules
- Model States
- STEP/SAT Files
- PDF Drawings
- Bill of Materials
Success in Design Automation
"We used to have 3 engineers just doing sales drawings. With Mercura and Inventor automation, they are now designing new products instead."

How We Connect
Analyze
Review your current Inventor models and iLogic.
Expose
Identify which parameters drive the sales configuration.
Connect
Link Mercura inputs to Inventor parameters.
Automate
Generate models and drawings on demand.
Enterprise Risk Reduction
Do we need Inventor Logic?
Yes, Mercura drives your existing iLogic or parameters.
Is this cloud-based?
We support both local automation and cloud automation via Autodesk Platform Services (Forge).
Does it handle drawings?
Yes, we can auto-generate PDF drawings for the customer quote.
Can sales break the model?
No. Mercura only exposes valid parameters defined by engineering.
Connected Ecosystem
Mercura connects Inventor with your sales world.
