LOL now nothing but crashes...........
So far I wasted 1.5 hours trying to fix this for client and he is not happy... Solidworks does this with no issues. How do I know Client has a trial seat...
Not only do they want this to look like solidworks they also want it to crash like it too.......
The only reason it was not constrained is because I broke link with the master.. Plus you are on 2014 also..
It is not really hate more like dislike the issues with the new interface and the rendering crap... If they would say look we are not going release for 2 years to make it more stable and put Jim's classic back I would be happy....
I don't run into to many issues with it I just get sick of lack of concern for production with autodesk this new interface is crap I want my classic back and save my click finger the pain.. New interface has slowed down all my clients and they are not happy. Not because they don't know it but because they don't like the tabs. In classic everything was on one little panel now 10 tabs, 15 drop downs.
If they want to get autocad people in Inventor this was not the way... I have about 20 seat pending for Inventor but they will not change from autocad because of the interface..
And I was the one that talked him into Inventor and not Solidworks 10 seats to boot....
But thanks for looking at it.....
2012 was one of my least favorite releases. I saw constant bugs in it. 2013 was a major step forward in regards to bugs. I haven't really used 2014 much, yet, but I don't see many complaints.
I know you "dislike" the interface as much as I hate to rehash this very old horse, but I think you should put some real honest effort into dealing with the new interface. I hate flipping tabs, too; instead of complaining, I customized it to work better for me. All of the commands I use regularly I either have hot-keyed, added to my marking menu, or added to the default ribbon tab. I very rarely have to switch tabs and when I do it's for a command that I use so rarely I'm fine with having it buried and out of my way.
I understand that you feel you shouldn't have to change from something that worked well for you, but that's just the way it is. We both know that AutoDesk is never going to release "Inventor: Jim's Special Version". They've decided how they're going to move forward and no amount of complaining is going to change their mind.

Doesn't Solidworks operate in the same way?
No it works....
No I know that is not what you meant ..
I had an old release (2 back) sent in an issue with them and they fixed it and sent out a patch.
But yes they are also not good with some issues I guess it depends on the fix easy vs hard...
Back when I started for Autodesk I made it a goal to take solidworks out of business... 
But seeing Autodesk is more concerned with new interface and rendering rather then normal cut in sheet metal, Pattern in 2 directions in assembly, IDW fixes and so on. The things we users need. We did not need a new interface..
It does not give me the happy feeling to press selling it to anyone else.. When asked now I look at what they do how they do it and 80% of the time I tell them to stay with autocad, Inventor would be a nightmare for them..
I did sell one a few months ago but he is using Autocad part not the Inventor.. Only because I do the Inventor work for him, Sheet metal and molds.
I just miss my Inventor and what users were promised when I worked for Autodesk..
"...then normal cut in sheet metal..."
See Autodesk Inventor 2015
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

ho hum... welcome to the world James.. Its not a perfect place.. The sooner you learn to embrace change instead of just complaining about it the better you will be..
You aren't getting support for your precious classic interface back.. Get over it already..
Nothing happens instantly..
You don't have the push to demand anything..
They aren't here just to please you..
Companies look at the global demand and plan/progress accordingly.
"pouting" only works for cute babies..

Hi jletcher,
I would encourage you to take some time to think about how you're perceived on this forum:

You current strategy of complaining incessantly paints you as a person to be ignored, and I suspect you have more to offer than that. I personally grow very tired of your reading your posts and generally just ignore your contributions these days. Make an effort to set your frustrations aside and focus on how to promote the changes you'd like to see happen in a positive way, and I think your knowledge of the product will speak for itself.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Not sure about that look at GM right now took many years and many complaints but they are listening now...
Look at Facebook they made a change many complained and they put it back....
Look at Google they had an issue people complained and they changed it back...
Look at Windows many did not like the no desktop and look they put it back..
So those that want the users happy fix the issues the hate....
You are right that I have no support but my own and that is fine with me.. I can take the load
Had one client go back to Autocad that was 5 seats and this was after he found out no more option for classic he tried but hated it..
Pouting no that don't work but I will complain
