Inventor Professionalの評判・口コミ 全9件

What do you dislike?

What I dislike about inventor is that for all the above features, a massive amount of customization is required for any of them to work. I would love to see an easier, more involved interface setup to quickly make changes and deploy features quicker with company based part numbers and descriptions.

What do you like best?

Inventor has a lot of added features that streamline the design process. Whether its content center, Tube & pipe, sheet metal, or iLogic these additions can make a difference in hundreds of hours saved, a more complete BOM and allowing a true cost analysis of the project.

What do you dislike?

If there's anything I dislike, is that the software could be more cabinet and millwork friendly without having to purchase an add-on. The drawing sizes and model file sizes can get very large, in some cases I have drawings over 200mb, which can be painfully slow when loading over a network.

What do you like best?

Inventor is very easy to use to create realistic, solid designs for cabinetry and millwork. I have tailored the software to streamline my creation of repetitive tasks, and it allows me to effectively document my designs quickly and easily. The software allows you to design and see where problems are in real time. My absolute favorite thing is that the drawings created, are always 100% exactly what you've modeled. It is impossible to have a view that does not dimensionally match another view. My experience with CAD systems in the past, is when drawings get revised, if not checked carefully, views can get out of sync with each other and when something is manufactured, the fabricator undoubtedly will ALWAYS pick the incorrect view as the one to follow. Inventor completely eliminates this problem. Last but not least, is that after being an Engineer / Drafter / Project Manager for almost 30 years, learning and using inventor has made designing and drafting fun for me again.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Inventor is a great tool and easy to learn and be productive with. It is not a direct solution for any specific trade other than Sheet Metal, but can be tailored to fit.

What do you dislike?

I've found over five years that it's very hard to get training on sheet metal or find professionals that handle Inventor Sheet Metal to help grow my team. Even with a very good team from D3 Technologies, that's been the biggest hurdle for us.

In program the ability to handle our parts the way we form them is still a struggle. We have built in workarounds for coving sink corners and how some of our parts come together, but it feels like these are things that should be addressed.

What do you like best?

The continued improvement in the interface and usability of the program. Parts in the models blow up or move with no understanding of what has occurred.

Recommendations to others considering the product

More improvements in the sheet metal side to make it easier to manipulate parts and models.

What do you dislike?

Some features are hidden and hard to find.

What do you like best?

Its user interface is simple, easy to learn and navigate.

What do you dislike?

It lacks a decent Feature recognition add in such as SolidWorks "Feature Works". So importing models created in other platforms is limited in feature scope after translation. The lack of a "sketched derived" hole driven bolt pattern in assembly mode is also a drawback. It has an array option for a standard pattern (circular and linear) but not a custom sketch derived hole pattern. The added file structure linked to iParts and iFactory is not as clean as the configuration aspect utilized in SolidWorks.

What do you like best?

The software is easy to learn and use. It has evolved in the features offered in the latest version. The Vault environment is very useful once the user engages it and learns the basics. The Content Center is also a real plus.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Compare it to others such as SolidWorks or Solid Edge. Very similar in functionality but each has it's own benefits that may suit the end user better. I have worked in all three platforms.
