Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Inventor

We use it for concept designing and design engineering as well as for final production.
  • integrated with other autodesk programs
  • Technical drawings is easy and automatically updates
  • User Interface is clean and intuitive
  • Vault is still confusing to me, 12 years later
  • you need a really powerful work station with tons of ram and an expensive graphics card
  • I wish there was an automatic way to name your drawings in IDW
  • lean and seamless production
  • can share files with co workers
  • output to step files or stl files for 3D priting
Inventor is hands down my favorite. I've used SolidWorks and I like the usability and interface better. Also, I work with AutoCad, so sometimes I bring in DXF for DWG files into a sketch.
for all sorts of design and production. I've worked in furniture, access control, consumer products, exhibit, and packaging. great for models with thousands of parts or just a couple. I also like the PDF generator so you can share your files. Additionally, now you can export to a link so you can share your model with others. The views can turn the model 360 degrees. Many new updates with awesome usability with collaboration in mind!
