I have been working with Inventor for a few years now and am quite satisfied. However, I miss a simple overview like in my former CAD programme Siemens NX. There, in the assembly environment, there was a simple display of the status of each individual component. Whether completely free, partially determined or fully determined. The state was represented by a circle: If it is o without filling, the component has no dependencies. If it is half-filled ◑, the component has dependencies but is not fully determined. If it is completely filled ●, the component is completely defined and cannot be moved. This way you always have a quick overview of what is determined, partially determined or free. In the end, the quality of the assemblies would increase, errors would be minimised and everything would be visually more realistic.
