Inventor Publisher Information on new version?

[coreyparks]

     I know it can be reported or spoken of in a public forum but I need to find out about the new version of Inventor Publisher that should be coming out this spring.  I have run into so many pitfalls that I can no longer waste my time on this version.  Right now every file I work on is like a ticking time bomb and I can't see the clock.  Every file I have worked on has eventually corrupted and given me an unknown error leaving me unable to open the file and finish changes or updates.  Even when I can get updates to work properly I  am forced to edit every BOM and renumber all of the line items before I erase and re-balloon the entire assembly.  I have one manual that I can complete in 3 hours, start to finish.  I have done that 4 separate times now due to the file becoming corupt. 

     So in a nutshell I need to abandon Inventor Publisher 2013R1 due to time contraints and severe lack of performance.  That being the case we still need something to create our manuals with.  So do I wait till the next version hoping it might fix some of the problems I am having or do we look for something better from another company or do we wait for the next version knowing that there are major changes that will make the 2015 version at least usable?  Can someone Let me know how to get into the Beta program, if there is one, for Publisher?  I have done betas in the past but can't see a way to sign up for this one on that website.  Thanks for any help I can get.

Well here goes...I just placed the order with my Autodesk reseller to add Inventor Publisher 2013 R1 to my subscription contract, so I aplogize in advance for getting on everyone's nerves with an overload of questions. I also found some CD / DVD training courses since I travel and cannot attend any in class sessions.  I took SolidWorks up on their offer to "prove some of the claims that they made to me" about Composer and importing Inventor files, but after 3 weeks of no reply to my specific questions, I got back "sorry about the miscommunication, can you resend your questions and part files?" after I notified the SoliWorks technician & sales of my decision to stay with Autodesk. I think we are all a little old for "sorry, my dog ate my homework, can I have more time to turn in my assignment?"

Great

[TimeraAutodesk]

Great question, we do not (and will not) have an open Beta of the upcoming 2015 release. 

[ravikmb5]

Fine ?

Will wait for Actual Release

Thanks........................

Well, that's extremely disappointing to hear.  I was hoping to get my hands on it a bit earlier than that to see if some of the issues I have are changed/fixed.  Also unless your quarters work differently July is early in Q3.  Just thought I would be the obnoxious guy and point that out, lol.

[TimeraAutodesk]

Hi Corey,

Autodesk's quarter system is unique, and Q2 runs through July. Thanks for your input, however. We'll be sure to post here when the next 2015 version is available so you can get your hands on it.

Thanks,
Timera

Such a good news ! That's great to ear !! I can't wait anymore for it 😉 I messed this topic because in fact TimeraAutodesk told here "We'll be sure to post here when the next 2015 version is available so you can get your hands on it." So I registered this Topic and wait for news or release....
