I'm so glad that I use Inventor

karthur1 · ‎10-16-2008

I have been using Inventor since R4. I got my hands on an evaluation copy of SW '08 Student Design Kit. I've been going through the tutorials trying to learn it. It takes me much longer to do anything with SW compared to IV, but I am just learning it. There are more clicks just to do simple commands.

One thing that I do like is the fillet (chamfer) command. Being able to pick a surface and the fillet(chamfer) goes all the way round it is pretty nice. Right now, that is the ONLY thing that I have found that I like better than Inventor.

I can't see your post, but I know exactly what you are showing.....I knew that. Time to turn off the computer and step away.

A little OT, but I wonder why Autodesk does not push Inventor in advertisments like dessault pushes SW? Just about every design magazine that I get has ads for SW. Very seldom do I see Inventor ads. I was at a trade show in Vegas last week. SW had a booth there as well as several other CAD vendors. Autodesk was nowhere to be found.

Dennis..
Don't waste your time adding attachments.. They don't work.

Solidworks has a completely functional discussion board..

I can't see them using Internet Explorer.
I suggest someone at Autodesk read http://www.amazon. com/Wikinomics-Mass-Collaboration-Changes-Everything/dp/1591841933/ref=sr_1_1?ie ...

You guys are missing the boat.

LOL! Good one JD!

I don't know if you meant that as a joke, but when I clicked your link I got a message:

Looking for something?
We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site

I don't know whether the website upgrades are a comedy or a trajedy

BTW - to the OE users, it may work, but my preference (in general for forums) is the web interface. I can check it from home and work and not have to download all the posts.

JDMather · ‎10-17-2008

What a disaster. Besides doubling the post what should be a simple ctrl v brought up another dialog box and then added extraneous space between amazon . com

I have been using Windows Mail (OE successor).
IMHO, the web interface is almost useless. However, since the "improvements" any
posts that have an attachment show up as "message could not be displayed" in
windows mail...

I have also complained about the ctrl v BS.. It just seems stupid to have to open another dialog box just to do something simple like copy and paste.

This site and its implementation is a total mess..

Thanks for the Firefox tip. I was getting very frustrated not being able to download any attachments or view any .jpgs with Internet Explorer

> You guys are missing the boat.

I'm trying to find out:

- what issues have been resolved
- what issues are being worked
- known issues with various readers
- what the status is with posting/seeing file attachments

If I find anything out, I'll let everyone know.

Thanks!

Very seldom do I see Inventor ads. I was at a trade show in Vegas last week. SW had a booth there as well as several other CAD vendors. Autodesk was nowhere to be found. I too asked about this on the forum. I was basically told SW advertises because they are desperate and they have to in order to gain market share. Conversely, Inventor is such an amazing Titan, that no advertising is necessary.

It was rather hard to concentrate on those explanations as the band started to play louder and the ship deck began to tilt rather noticeably.

Gary,
XP 64 will not read any message with attachments using either OE or Agent
(nntp obviously) much less download the attachment
Also, couldn't send a message with attachment this morning, but have only
tried that one time
