What's stopping you from using AutoCAD for what you need right now?

-->There's nothing wrong with using AutoCAD, I just wanted to see if I can take this to the next level. I am currenly modeling out some of our products using 5 ft standard length and using some of the AutoCAD Mechanical features to store part information. 

 

Where is it not working for your needs?

--> The lengths varies based on customer needs and it takes time and knowledge to rework the model for those lengths. I just want one model in which the only thing the user would need to specify is the total length needed. I like the feature that inventor can create a model from a spreadsheet since I can adjust the edge distances and hole spacing if need be. 

 

What challenges are you facing with it?

--> The issue with the 3D model is if I need a longer length then I would have to readjust the edge distances for the holes or members, and I would have to select each member that I need to block scale up. 

 

What software are your customers using that you want to exchange CAD files with?

-->I believe most of my customers are using Revit but exchanging a navis file should accomandate our needs.
