Re: how long did it take you to transition to inventor from autocad?

transitioning into Inventor, at least from a user-interface point of view, is quite easy.

learning to design in a 3-d space without some of the most useful AutoCad tools, like construction lines, arrays, or the ability to mirror can be frustrating.

although my sub-group eventually places our ideas into Inventor....the design happens on paper or in the friendly realm of AutoCad.
