The Inventor jobs nobody likes, done in a few clicks
MCO Design works on your own Inventor files. Export a whole project's drawings to PDF sorted by sheet size or material, flat patterns to DXF with an Excel report, plan sheet and bar cutting, and make site packing lists, without opening files one by one.
€15 per user / month · Windows 10 and 11 · Sign in with your MCO accountTen tools, one job
Set the active job once: its name, number and client follow you into every tool and every file it makes.
Job information
Project name, number, client and date, saved per job and shared with every other tool. Switch between jobs in one click.
Export to PDF
Scan several folders for drawings and export them, sorted by sheet size (A4 to A0) or by material, finish and thickness. Multi-sheet drawings split per sheet.
PDF merge
Put PDFs together in the order you want: append, insert or replace pages, and save one file for the client.
Sheet metal
Flat patterns to DXF and parts to STEP in one go, filed by material, finish and thickness, with an Excel report of flat sizes and quantities.
Sheet cut
Plan how parts fit on your stock sheets, with grain direction, and see the waste before you cut. Layouts export to Excel.
Linear cut
Cutting lists for bars and tubes that use the fewest lengths and leave the shortest offcuts.
Parameters
Find the dim_ parameters in a part or assembly, change them and update the model and its sheet-metal thickness.
Site packing list
Build a packing list from Inventor iProperties or an existing sheet, edit it, and export it to Excel from your template.
Properties
See the whole assembly tree with each part's iProperties, and export it to CSV or copy it to the clipboard.
Duplicate
Copy a project folder to a new job and rename its files to the new job number, from 500-SA001 to 501-SA001.

Questions
Does it need MCO templates?
No. It works with your own Inventor parts, assemblies and drawings.
Do I have to be a publisher?
No. MCO Design is for anyone who works in Inventor. Publishers use the MCO Generator to sell products.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. Invite them to your company on mcofab.com and each person signs in with their own account.
