Licence at a glance

What is Autodesk Inventor Pro 2027?

Autodesk Inventor Pro 2027 is a parametric CAD application for designing mechanical parts and assemblies, simulating how they move, and producing manufacturing drawings that stay linked to the 3D model. Autodesk describes it as professional-grade mechanical design, documentation and product simulation software that runs on Windows.

The Professional edition adds routed-systems tools that general CAD packages lack. According to Autodesk’s Inventor overview page, that includes:

• Tube and pipe runs
• Cable and harness design
• Frame and machine design tools
• Dynamic simulation of mechanisms
• iLogic rules for configurable products

What’s new in Inventor Professional 2027

Autodesk’s Inventor 2027 What's New article highlights these additions.

Autodesk Assistant

A natural-language AI assistant that can analyse models, create model states, suppress components, generate parameters and automate repetitive steps. It arrived as a technical preview with this release.

iLogic Codeblocks

A drag-and-drop way to build iLogic rules, showing the underlying code in real time. It lowers the barrier for engineers who have never written a rule.

New Slot feature

A dedicated part-modelling tool for slots with in-canvas editing, a property panel, countersunk and counterbore options, and reusable presets.

Assembly mirror enhancements

More control when mirroring components: keep or break associativity, Save Copy As, mirror the feature tree, exclude components and use Associative Placement.

Content Center assemblies

You can now publish and reuse complete assemblies in Content Center, including configurable assemblies driven by model states, not just single parts.

Key features

• Parametric part modelling with sketches, features and model states
• Top-down and bottom-up assembly design
• Sheet metal, weldment and frame design
• Tube and pipe plus cable and harness routing
• Associative 2D drawings and model-based definition
• Content Center library of standard fasteners and parts
• iLogic and an API for design automation
• Vault integration for data management
• AnyCAD and DWG workflows with other CAD formats

Inventor Professional vs Fusion

Choose Inventor Professional for Windows-based, desktop mechanical design with routed systems and deep automation; choose Fusion if you need macOS, cloud collaboration or built-in electronics design. Autodesk’s own Fusion vs Inventor comparison frames it the same way.

Who is it for?

• Machine designers building large assemblies with frames, guards and fasteners.
• Plant and process engineers routing pipework and tube.
• Electrical-mechanical teams laying out cables and harnesses in 3D.
• Sheet metal fabricators producing flat patterns and drawings.
• Steel and structural detailers who also use Advance Steel 2026.
• Engineering firms that want rule-based configurators with iLogic.

System requirements

Values from Autodesk’s Inventor 2027 system requirements. Note the new Windows 11-only support and .NET 10.

ARM-based Windows PCs are not listed. If your machine is still on Windows 10, upgrade first with a Windows 11 licence, or consider an earlier Inventor release.

Always check Autodesk’s current requirements before buying, as Autodesk updates OS support during a release’s life.

Frequently asked questions

Is Inventor Professional 2027 a subscription or perpetual?

It is a subscription. This licence gives 1 year of use on 1 device, and Autodesk does not sell new perpetual Inventor licences. At the end of the term you renew to keep designing; your .ipt, .iam and .idw files stay on your drive.

Does Inventor 2027 run on Windows 10?

No. Autodesk’s requirements for Inventor 2027 list only 64-bit Microsoft Windows 11. Windows 10 is no longer included, unlike Inventor 2026 and 2025. If you cannot upgrade the operating system yet, buy an earlier Inventor version or move to Windows 11 first.

Can I run Inventor Professional 2027 on a Mac?

Not natively. Autodesk states that Inventor runs on Microsoft Windows, and there is no macOS build. Mac users who need Autodesk mechanical CAD often choose Fusion, which runs on macOS. Running Inventor on a Mac requires a separate Windows 11 environment, which Autodesk does not list as supported.

Can I install Inventor 2027 on more than one computer?

This licence is for 1 device. If you swap PCs, sign out of Inventor on the old machine, install it on the new Windows 11 computer and sign in with the same Autodesk Account. Simultaneous use on two machines is not included. Our support team can help with any sign-in problem.

What happens after 1 year?

After 12 months the licence expires and Inventor will not open for design work until you renew. Your part, assembly and drawing files are not deleted. Buy another 1-year licence whenever you are ready, and you can carry on from where you stopped.

How do I receive Inventor Professional 2027?

By email, normally within minutes of payment. The message holds your licence details and set-up steps, and the installer itself comes from your Autodesk Account. There is no disc or box. Check our order tracking page if an email has not arrived.

What hardware does Inventor 2027 need?

Autodesk recommends Windows 11, a 3.0 GHz 4-core CPU with AVX2, 32 GB RAM, an 8 GB DirectX 12 graphics card and a 4K display. The minimum is 16 GB RAM, a 2.5 GHz CPU and a 2 GB DirectX 11 GPU, with about 40 GB of disk space and .NET 10.

What is the difference between Inventor and Inventor Professional?

Inventor Professional is the full edition Autodesk sells today, covering part and assembly modelling plus tube and pipe, cable and harness, frame design and simulation tools. Older Inventor-only editions had fewer routed-system tools. If you design piping or wiring, the Professional edition is the one you need.

Is Autodesk Assistant included in Inventor Professional 2027?

Yes, as a technical preview. Autodesk introduced the AI-powered Autodesk Assistant with Inventor 2027, letting you ask in plain language for tasks such as creating model states or suppressing components. Being a preview, its features and availability can change during the release.
