Office 2010 and Inventor

[sumayo]

I thought having 12 Gig of Ram my machine would be heaps fast.... Think again.... Just wondering if there is a problem with Office 2010 and Inventor...

It takes about a minute to copy, Material properties from one file to about 10 in Bill of Materials.

One reason you might not be seeing as much of a speed increase is that Inventor is not a multi-threaded application.

Inventor and Office 2010 are not compatible and won't be until Inventor 2012 is released.

Hope this helps, Paul

Take a look at the following link, it explains in more detail:

What about Office 2010 (not just excel) causing interference in general?

My machine hangs (20 - 30 part .iam's) doing the simplest of tasks, eg, copying BOM data, placing content centre parts

I've been using Inventor 2011 Pro for 6 months now on Windows 7 x64 + MS Office 2010 x64. No problems whatsoever.

Editing iPart and iAssembly tables is lightning fast.

If you have issues with Inventor performance, they are NOT DUE to MS OFFICE 2010 compatibility!

I am working on 64bit Windows 7 with Inventor Pro 2011. I had no any issue with the Office 2007, but after a special offer of the Microsoft I upgraded the Office to the 2010 version. After this step I lost the iPart parameter editing function in Excel. I installed the Excel from the Office 2003 package, but it does not work. You are kindly requested to tell me, how can I set the Inventor, for using of the Excel 2003.

Many thanks in advance

Vlaci69,

Like I said, I've never experienced any problems using Excel 2010 on Inventor Pro 2011. It looks like you've messed up your registry while upgrading from Office 2007 to 2010. If I were you, I'd reinstall the computer - this is the shortest procedure. Since you're using a 64-bit windows 7, I'd advise you to use the 64-bit Office 2010 and then install Inventor 2011 Pro.

Many thanks for you answer. I think, I found the keyword in your message: "64bit Office 2010". There was only the 32 bit version in the special Microsoft offert, maybe my probleme is based on the 32bit Office. I will reinstall my computer with the 64bit office and I hope it will work.

Best regards
