We have a few that still hang around, but we don't intentionally use
them any longer.

Hello Inventor Community,

The Inventor Development Team is trying to get an understanding of how
wide-spread the use of IDV files are in your assemblies.

For those that don't know what IDV files are, they are externally-stored
view representations, and were part of the original Inventor assembly
architecture (for those that remember the Rubicon and R1 days). In Inventor
R8, we internalized the storage of design views but we still maintained
support for creating and using external design views via the IDV file.

Please respond here and let us know whether or not you use them. You can
also contact me directly at andrewDOTfaixATautodeskDOTcom.

Thanks everyone,

Nope.

Don't use them.

Nope, never used them. Seen one once, an elusive critter.

Don't use them

I use internal DV Reps, but I've never used external IDVs. Although I did
use them prior to Inv8

I've never figured out how they might be used.

Surely the contents of an IDV will be specific to the contents of an IAM, so
how can they be used in a different assembly/weldment?

I'd be interested to see a demonstration before I make any comment about
getting rid of public/private DV Reps.

How do IDVs behave with iAssemblies?

Thanks for your responses. Feel free to add on. So far, you've pretty much
confirmed our assumptions.

I agree with the others. I never use them anymore.
