Various User Interface (UI) features have been tidied. We noted as many as we could determine with (*nLT). Unfortunately, not all features were extended to Inventor LT.

There are changes in almost every area of Inventor from tiny improvements to dialog boxes to complete workflow overhauls a new rendering engine was added too. This year Autodesk showed considerable effort towards caring for their existing user base, by adding 32 user requested enhancements in this release, almost 4X that of 2014.
