Inventor Professional and Inventor Fusion

[Anonymous]

What's the difference between Autodesk Inventor Professional and Inventor Fusion? I've tried downloading Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 literally tens of times and every time I follow the steps and end up downloading Inventor Fusion 2013 instead. I assumed they were the same thing, but recently someone replied to one of my posts saying they were completely different.

Could someone elaborate on what the difference is and if they are different how to download Inventor Professional instead of Inventor Fusion?

Where are you attempting to download Inventor Professional?

Are you a student.

Ah, I see in another thread that you are a student.

Autodesk Inventor Professional is a fully parametric modeling software.

Autodesk Inventor Fusion was a technology preview that only existed for a couple of years and was discontinued with r2013.

You might check out Fusion 360 (it is different than Inventor).
