Re: Engineering or drafting?

My team uses Inventor for both an engineering tool and for drafting. when it comes to figureing out clearances, geometry, COG... nothing beats having a laptop and autodesk inventor on hand. I also used INventor to fully design every part and machined component that is found on our robot this year. the machine shops that we deal with often have CnC capabilities, so i want to be able to utilize them at any notice by simply throwing the guy a disk with part files.
