This is one where "both" are correct or incorrect. The top edge of the hole through a curved face is a 3D poly line, yet the interior of the hole is a circle or if you project the 3d poly line to a flat surface the result is a circle.

Here's a quick view of how Inventor places and works with items in a drawing. The items are not really on the drawing sheet, you really need to watch closely.https://chronicle.autodesk.com/Main/Details/afeae328-eb5a-4e1b-ac22-b8049d8e4976

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsdupfd5ej8cflv/Inventor%20What%27s%20New.pdf Here's the 'What's New" pdf.
Gavin Bath has created a post here, he's sharing opinion & an interesting way to present the new features to everyone. Where possible, he has also linked back to Ideastation posts. If you see any other Ideastation posts which can be linked back to it, please share them in the comments, I have no doubt he will jump in and add them where needed.
All in all, it's a very good release of Inventor. It's been just as stable as 2014 for me for the last couple of months. Sure people will be unhappy their area of Inventor hasn't been improved, but the sketch changes are HUGE & should help every single Inventor user on the planet. I can't wait to get stuck into helping people with it.

I think they did a great job with 2015.
A few things that I really like are:
1. They finally labeled the workplanes. The origin planes and user defined workplanes will show their name when you hoover over them (if they are visible).
2. The vertical and horizontal constraints, show you what is vert or horiz before you place the constraint.
3. They cleaned up how constraints are shown in sketch.
Its little things like this that makes Inventor better to use. I am not a big fan of the "Home Screen", but at least we can turn it off so its not displayed. Wonder how much RAM it sucks even with it not displayed?

Only AutoCAD, It's verticals & Vault are so far. I think a few more will pop up over the weekend. Suites normally come last.

I thought the Design Suites usually showed up the first week of April.

Just got the e-mail from ADSK on what is now in the Suites, dang no Showcase. Somehow 3dMax looks far more difficult to learn than Simulation Mechanical and Inventor combined.

They discontinued Showcase, so it can't be in the Suites. I thought that they would come up with a simplified, more user friendly version of VRED if there is no Showcase...well as we can see they didn't. Shame.
No they haven't discontinued it! Its just not in PrDS, its still in factory design suite though

On the Autodesk page for Factory Design Suite 2015 there is an Astrix next to Showcase.
It may be in the Suite but I wonder if the Astrix will be bad news............(Like 2014 version) but I cannot find what the Astrix means on the web page.

But is it new version of software, or just old Showcase with new badge on it? I heard that becasue of VRED they will not develop showcase any further.
