We have been working on one for a while, but due to
limitations in the API we do not have one available yet. We are still working on
it, and with each release of Inventor, they improve the API so we can get more
done. The other thing that we have found is that productivity would be lower in
a solid modeling environment, compared to using our software in Autocad, so our
existing customers would not switch.

We have found that design/engineering actually
takes about 10% to 15% longer, but overall from design to good parts takes 5% to
15% less time.

Is that compared to using just plain AutoCAD or to
using AutoCAD with Striker SSDie Design Software?

Thats sounds about right then, but my customers
saw 20-60% less time when they switched from plain Autocad to Striker
Software, so moving to Inventor would increase their
time.

Unless of course part requires surfacing. Striker is 2d only. Surfacing on
form steels would need to be done manually.

Correct, dies with lots of draws might be closer to the 20% depending on
what is needed with the draws.
