Re: Future of Inventor

OK Inventor 11 is not much different from 10 (at least not like the leap from 9 to 10)

There will be i-Assemblies now. Which we won't realy use much, mostly will benefit the major corporations that use the program.

You can render images now (in 10, they all disappear-kind've defeats the purpose)

The chain feature can handle really small links now

They made the program able to handle larger files more easily by being able to turn off all bolts and screws to handle huge file sizes



Those are really all the highlights, there's a little more that deals with a better ease of navagation. Unfortunately, I think that our team will just stick with Inventor 10 next year. But I personally would think about getting the next one, because the only major difference I liked when I played with the program was being able to render images. But, of course, it's always awesome to have the latest version.
