Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor is the 3D Modelling software of choice in this company. We use it for all modelling and printmaking, as well as doc control of manufacturing prints. It is used by the engineering department to create documents for sales and manufacturing.
  • 3D Modeling.
  • Parametric Modeling.
  • Drawing Creation.
  • Simulation.
  • Assembly mates.
  • Document control.
  • Good, professional prints for customers.
  • Good STEP file export for customers.
  • Poor collaboration tools.
Audesk Inventor is better than SOLIDWORKS in all ways, better than Onshape in important ways, but not as good on collaboration tools, and more professional than Fusion 360.
Autodesk Inventor is a great software for 3d Modeling in a manufacturing environment. It is great for small assemblies and components. I would not use it for plant layout or extremely large assemblies. It also isn't as flexible for collaboration or cloud sharing of files. It is a good, traditional, controlled modeling software, with a pretty good simulation package.

Using Autodesk Inventor

7 - All uses are in Engineering and Manufacturing.
1 - Really there is one Inventor software expert in-house. We have a reseller for other support needs, but don't need it much.
