I'm so glad that I use Inventor - Page 3

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.

Resolved Issues

10/22: "Up one category" navigation. In some instances this was linking
back to the homepage incorrectly.
10/22: Incorrect prompt for login while attempting to search - login failed
when userID and password entered.
10/7: Sign in screen fails to load. We discovered that some popup or
advertisement blockers add-ons can affect the sign in "overlay" screen from
loading. You'll need to configure these add-ons to allow activities on
Autodesk sites. Note: Autodesk sites do not contain third-party popup
advertisements or unwanted items typically blocked by these tools.
10/7: Search collection was not being generated correctly so users could not
search/find all content. Note: default search is 90 days. From the search
results you use the advanced search options to refine your search by broader
date range and other factors

Gary,
Thanks for the update. Just to let you know, I can now post using your "workaround". Here is what I have done. Hopefully it may help others.

1. Enabled cookies. See http://www.betfred.com/help/static/cookiehelp_ie.htm. This is how I did it.
2. When I reply to a post, the rich text interface is not shown. I hit the "back" arrow, then the "forward" arrow. Now the rich text interface is shown.

Hopefully this will be resolved soon and we will not have to use the workaround (too many of them already).

Thanks

P.S. I would like to add that it is not easy to get to the "watched messages". Now we have to navigate to "Your Control Panel", then click on the "Your Watches". After you are here, you can't easily get back to the forum. There is a link there that will carry you back to the forum index. You have to then navigate through all the pages just to get back to the forum. Takes too long. They need to put the watch list back out in the front like it was before.

Glad that you are having a better experience.

Note - the workaround has been suggested by the team supporting our message
boards.
