No Browser in AutoCAD 2015 STUDENT VERSION?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is the model browser available in the student versions of AutoCAD 2015 and AutoCAD Plant 3D 2015???

I clicked everywhere and never found a place where I can activate this "can't live without" feature.

Thanks.

Studen version is exactly like the commercial version.
AutoCAD is not Inventor (which has a model browser): http://blogs.rand.com/manufacturing/2010/06/inventor-tips-and-tricks-missing-browser-bar.html

As a "life critical need" I think I would want to know at least the name of the software.

Are you sure your prior experience is with AutoCAD?

I guess there was a period of time (for one release I think) when Autodesk did call it AutoCAD Inventor on the box, but the program has always been Inventor (at least I think that is what you are after).

Does this look familiar?

I used AutoCAD back in 2005, I don't remember if there was a model browser... I just assumed there was a model browser as in Solidworks, PTC Creo, etc.

Thanks both for clarifying.

Autodesk Inventor is the Autodesk product equivalent of SolidWorks or Creo.

If you have used SolidWorks or Creo - Inventor will look very familiar to your (sounds like I just saved your life).

You are comparing Apples to Watermellons.
