upgrading from 2017: consider 2019 or 2020?

[Anonymous]

We are looking to upgrade our current Inventor 2017.  Need recommendation as to which version we should go to.  Is jumping to 2020 from 2017 to far of an upgrade?  Should we only go to 2019?

Thanks,

Chad

I'd go 3 ... go to 2020. 

They have a lot of enhancements / updates.  Likely one coming again soon. 

Question:  

Are you using Vault?

Thanks for the advice - I wasn't sure if jumping three versions would create any issues.

No we are currently not using vault.

Hi ..

Nah, 3 isn't an issue.

I tend to test a few files..

For 2020 you want to update to:  Inventor 2020.2.2 Update

Going by prior years .. there should be 2020.3 around June - July.    

Here is the 2020 what's new:
