Class Description: Derived parts are a powerful but easy-to-use Inventor tool. They come in two basic flavors: you can derive a part from another one, or you can derive a part from an assembly. Using derived parts, you can easily create machining models and drawings from an as-cast model, and you can create a mold or other tooling and fixtures from the same model. The mold cavity can be scaled to allow for shrinkage. Opposite-hand versions can also be created from the basic part, and from any subsequent derived parts. If the basic part is changed then everything updates.
