Re: Inventor 2008
I had a chance to play with a bit ago, and it's pretty sweet. The main coolness is that Sheet Metal is a ton better, and much more intuitive.

Re: Inventor 2008
yea, i've used it as well. the UI is a little different, nothing major though, besides that they changed up the start page thing.
ohh, and one major improvement; i haven't crashed it yet, not that i won't... but on inventor 11 it took all of a few minutes for me to crash it... and i wasn't doing anything that spectacular... ohh, and the content center has been modified a lot as well. i haven't used it extensively yet, but it seems good. it loads slow the first time you launch it in an assembly, but after that it's much faster. the design analysis stuff is pretty cool as well. this was the first version that i've actually played with it though, so i can't compare it to previous versions. i didn't have any major problems with it or anything. I found it pretty interesting. seems like i read somewhere that there were some improvements to the tube and pipe/electrical stuff. i haven't played with it yet in this version though. hmm, that's all i can think of off the top of my head. at any rate, so far i've been impressed with it. it seems petty solid so far. :rolleyes: |
Re: Inventor 2008
Does anybody know where to get a copy of this in a demo version, the usual 30-day thing, if they have one?

Re: Inventor 2008
High school students can get Inventor 2008 as well from http://engineersrule.org by following the information for those without edu email. Might need to request code through teacher. I don't remember exactly the proceedure but it can be found on the website.
Also single part (no assembly) Inventor LT can be downloaded for free from http://labs.autodesk.com Do not install both on the same machine. |
Re: Inventor 2008
well, the only problem I currently found with it is that it can make your computer crash:ahh:
I'm running it on a 3.6ghz P4 with 1.5 gigs of Kingston HyperX (gaming) RAM with a GeForce 6800 and it was still running and loading up slow. Not a huge deal but could lead to your pc crashing. (Get a dual core?;) ) |

Re: Inventor 2008
Inventor's speed is practically directly proportional to your RAM amount and speed. I run Inventor on a machine with 4 gigs of Corsair Dominator XMS2, and it runs sooooo fast and well.
My other machine has 1.5 gigs, and is slow in comparison... All of the HD and CPU specs are the same across the machines. (but not the cases) |
Re: Inventor 2008
does any one know why the design accelerator in inventor 2008 does not show up I have inventor 10, 11 installed if that has anything to do with it

Re: Inventor 2008
That happened to me about a week ago while I was using Inventor 10. Not really sure what the problem is, and I still can't tell whether it's a bug in Inventor or just something stupid I did to make the window disappear. The taskbar shows that I've opened a new window but no window ever appears....
Someone recommended I uninstall and reinstall, though I've yet to do that. I'll let you know how it turns out. |
