Graphincs card

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

does anyone know if Autodesk Inventor would work on Intel (R) HD Graphics graphics card? I need to use Autodesk for my engineering course and i want to know if it works properly on my current laptop.

Thanks

For Inventor 2014, only Intel(R) HD Graphics P4600/P4700 is certified.

Please see this link:

HD graphics is "on chip" ie. comes with the processor and shares system RAM.  On a laptop with already limited resources, this can be a bad thing.  Work?  Probably.  Work well enough to actually get things done so you can learn?  Probably not.

What are the other specs of the machine.
I have a lot of students.

They are running Inventor on just about anything (purchased within the past couple of years).

As a student you can download Inventor for free and answer your question with more certainty.

http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity   (try going through the tutorials, especially Inventor Studio and Dynamic Simulation).  Be sure to create a few drawings.

You might need to go to Tools>Application Options>Hardware tab and change the setting.

When you install it will ask you to Activate your license or run in 30-day Trial mode.

I recommend that you run in trial mode for at least a couple of weeks before you activate your free license (you don't want to use up your activations if there is trouble running on this machine).

FYI - you can use "License Transfer Utility" (can be found under WIndows' start menu >

All Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Inventor 2014) to move your license from one PC to another.
