Why write for BORIS for Autodesk Inventor?
borisinventor.com is the home of BORIS for Autodesk Inventor, an add-in by CADChain that registers ownership of Inventor designs with a timestamped blockchain certificate. The blog is read by engineers who build machines, products and tooling in Inventor, and by the people who manage their data.
A guest post here reaches a focused audience of Inventor users rather than a general design crowd.
- A specialist audience: Inventor designers, CAD and Vault administrators, machine builders, manufacturing SMEs and engineering consultants.
- Editorial support: we edit for clarity, add structure for search and AI answers, and may add a table or infographic in our house style.
- Author credit: your name, a short bio and a link to your site or LinkedIn profile.
- Promotion: we share new articles on our social channels and link to them from related posts on the blog.
- A network of four blogs: strong pieces can be linked from our sister sites, including the CADChain blog.
What can you write about?
We look for Autodesk Inventor knowledge that readers can use straight away. These are the areas we cover:
Inventor modelling and drawings
- Parts, assemblies, iParts, iAssemblies and Content Center
- Frame Generator, sheet metal, weldments and tube and pipe
- Drawings, BOMs, parts lists and drafting standards
- Performance tuning for large assemblies (see optimising Inventor performance)
Automation and data management
- iLogic, the Inventor API and configurators
- Vault setup, lifecycles and revision control (see our Inventor Vault guide)
- File formats, STEP and interoperability with other CAD and Fusion
Simulation and manufacturing
- Stress analysis and dynamic simulation case studies
- Design for manufacturing, CAM and factory layout
- Getting BOMs and drawings from Inventor into ERP and the shop floor
Protecting design data and IP
- Inventor file security and sharing with suppliers
- Working with freelancers and proving ownership (see protecting CAD files with freelancers)
- Trade secrets in manufacturing, from practical steps to court cases
- Blockchain certificates and other ways to evidence who designed what
Careers and business
- Autodesk certification, interviews and career moves
- Freelancing and running a design or automation consultancy
- Rolling out new tools and standards across a CAD team
What we don't publish
To keep the blog useful for readers, we send back pitches and drafts that fall into these groups:
- Adverts and press releases dressed up as articles
- Generic AI drafts with no first-hand insight or real examples
- Content already published elsewhere, including on your own blog
- Posts written mainly to place links, or with more than two links to your own site
- Images, models or drawings you don't have the right to publish
- Topics with no link to Inventor, CAD, engineering or design IP
Autodesk Inventor guest post guidelines at a glance
Every accepted article meets the same basic standards. Use this table as a checklist before you send your draft.
How do you pitch a guest post?
Pitch first, write second. A short pitch saves you from writing a full article on a topic we have already covered. Send it to team@cadchain.com with the subject line "Guest Post Pitch: [your proposed headline]".
- A proposed headline and three to five key points
- Who you are: your role and how long you have worked with Inventor
- Why it matters to Inventor users right now
- Your timeline for delivering the full draft
If you have published elsewhere, add two or three links to your best work. If you haven't, that's fine: a clear pitch and real experience matter more than a long list of bylines.
What happens after you send your pitch?
- Editorial review. We check the topic against what we have already published and reply within 72 hours.
- Writing. Once we say yes, you send the full draft in your own time frame.
- Editing. We edit for clarity and structure and send you any questions. You approve the final version.
- Publication and promotion. We usually publish within two days of approval and share the article on our channels.

- How a contract design firm proves ownership of client models
See the kind of articles we publish
Read a few articles before you pitch. They show the depth and tone we look for:
- Autodesk Inventor file formats and security implications
- 3D model files as trade secrets: a new court ruling
- How to protect CAD files when working with freelancers
- What role champions play in CAD workflow adoption
- CAD data security challenges in supply chains
- How to prove design ownership in legal disputes
Showing your Inventor models in a guest post?
Register them first. BORIS for Autodesk Inventor creates a timestamped blockchain certificate of ownership for your design, right from Inventor, so you can share your work with proof of who made it.

FAQ
Do you accept guest posts about Autodesk Inventor?
Yes. We accept guest posts about Inventor modelling, iLogic, Vault, simulation, manufacturing, CAD security and design ownership. Send a short pitch first to team@cadchain.com.
How long should a guest post be?
Between 1,000 and 2,500 words. Tutorials with many steps or code can be longer if every section earns its place.
Can I include links to my website?
Yes: up to two contextual links that help the reader, plus one link in your author bio.
Do you accept AI-written articles?
You can use AI tools for research and editing, but the ideas, examples and code must come from your own experience. Generic AI drafts get sent back.

No. We publish original, unpublished articles only. You can share a short excerpt with a link to the full article on borisinventor.com.
How long does it take to get published?
We reply to pitches within 72 hours. After you send a draft and approve our edits, we usually publish within two days.
Can I write about Fusion or other Autodesk tools?
Yes, if the article helps Inventor users, for example connected workflows between Inventor and Fusion or moving data between them.
Can I pitch more than one idea?
Yes. Send up to three ideas in one email, each with a headline and a few key points, and we will tell you which one fits best.
