Re: Using Inventor without Excel

Inventor complains but will still run. There will be certain functions that won't work. Threads and iParts come to mind. But in most cases threads are just window dressing and you can do things the hard way for iParts.

Our team has several laptops with Inventor and Open Office installed. So if anybody has the answer to getting full functionality we'd like to learn it too. But not having iot doesn't seem to cause any unsolvable problems.
