[#1]

I have been using 6.0 for a short time. All was good until I started to build my assemblies. Now Inventor power exits often...about 15 time this morning mostly while placing constraints, and once while saving. I called my VAR he says reload 5.3 and wait for service pack 1. Alot of help that is! Is 6.0 defective?? Arrg... this is frustrating! VAR say S.P. 1 will be available Nov. 15th. Is this correct? Sorry to sound negative, this is a great group. I hope to get this software issue resolved so I can get back to design.

Thanks,

Mike

It depends on the problems you are facing. I have one customer who has migrated all his files to
R6, and he is a serious power user, and the only problems he has had are the random font quirks, and
some balloon/parts list quirks that he has a workaround for and is quite happy.

I also have another customer who are using R6 only for a new project and all current production work
is still being done on 5.3 until they are happy with rolling it out across all their sites.

Other than minor bugs... i've been running r6 for a week and a half with no
"major" problems...

I have had a problem or two with R6. If you can wait for the service pack, I would.

What specific problems have you
encountered?

I am using Windows 2000 with office XP. 2.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, Elsa Gloria III (Quadro2 pro), Swap file = 2000MB, Newest NVIDIA Driver 4.1.0.3. I had very few problems with 5.3 compared to 6.0. I will try an older video driver next. Any other suggestions? Are other VAR's giving the advice I got or I'm I being "put-off". Thanks, Mike
