    So now we have an answer to all the questions. The LAbs releases available right now will only work with Inventor 2012. We will need to get you Fusion TP3 if you want to use it with 2011.

     

    If you want to use it for school and not have the integration with Inventor then I can still provide the link to SP3 so that we can get rid of the crashing.

    Hi Kevin,

    first question,if we get fusion TP3 will it launch with inventor 2011,or as I have inventor for 3 years as a student should

    I get inventor 2012 and uninstall 2011,you see Ive passed my 2011 certified associate exam ( in november ) and Id like

    to try for the professional exam this year,sorry to ask so many questions but its very difficult here to find training or even guidance and I sometimes feel between a rock and a hard place,eventhough I pass the associate exam theres stuff I feel

    I dont know,just wish there was somebody I could sit down with and talk about options and soforth,maybe I should just stick

    with inventor 2011!

     

    Thanks Kevin

    OK. I now know what is going wrong.

     

    The Fusion download on labs only works with Inventor 2012. NOT 2011. This is why you can not run the two together.

    The best thing to do is download Inventor 2012 from the education site. This will include Inventor Fusion. You then can update Inventor and Fusion to the latest SP and all should be well.

    Where are you located?  I have had many students pass both the Associate level exam and the Professional exam.

    I saw a link to a rather extensive set of prep videos on the student website.
    Contact me directly by email (root around in my signature) I would post the url here but I think it is reserved for students but near as I could tell not well protected site.  If I posted the url here I think anyone could get into the site.

    BTW - I think the Professional exam is actually easier than the Associate as you actually use the software for the Professional exam.
