I miss the precise geometry snapping the most.
Example: measuring the quadrant of a hole to perpendicular edge to
measure the amount of material remaining for bolt connections. It's just
a different animal. Animations are one huge advantage over
MDT.

am new to Inventor. After spending a week or so on Inventor, doubts started
to grow in my mind.Before I get any deeper in Inventor, I have one simple
question if some one can kindly answer it.
NVENTOR REALLY ANY BETTER THAN MECH DESKTOP?? And if so then in what way?
I am in no way against the Inventor as I confessed my inexperience with
it. I really miss the snaping options, keyboard shortcuts and above all
keyboard entry of relative and absolute coordinates. Is there some
compensation for these in inventor?
Any one else share my thinking??

measure tool certainly needs to be revised. I rarely use it. I create a idw of
my design or part and use the dimensioning features to obtain measurements.
You can find the amount of material left from edge of hole to edge of part
this way.

can't you do this now in inventor I can

is a better "design tool" than MDT because of how you can share data between
geometry and parts via projected geometry, adaptivity, shared sketches, and
derrived components. If you haven't tried these yet then you should give them
a go before giving up on IV.
Also the ability to simulate movement is priceless if you're designing
moving parts. Yes you can kind of do it in MDT but it's not nearly as nice and
powerful as IV.
A couple items I miss is MDT's measurement tools and MDT's flexible assy
constraints.

the BORG? Ouch. IMO ProE has to be the BORG of the 3D CAD world. I've never
seen such a stiff and unexciting, yet surprisingly powerful, program.
IV has to be the USS Enterprise seeing how each one is getting updated to
new versions faster than anything else out there. Let's see, IV is now on R6
and the Enterprise is now on it's 6th ship. 😉

man I do want to use Inventor (if it is any better than mech. desktop), but so
far my experience is not so pleasent. (may be it is just the inexperience).
But I do need a kind of confidence at this stage by people who have used both
and are know using Inventor. And I would be very greatful for any
advice.
