Re: Why Inventor?

Sounds like some of you have experience with many different modeling programs. Besides the details of drawing and assembling, are they all similar in their ability to create iparts?

What about properties such as determine weight, moments, CG's etc?

I know I always dream of having the whole robot perfectly designed in Inventor and have it actually tell us the weight to the nearest pound, but there's just not enough time and manpower, and once the real robot starts taking shape, most of the students loose interest in their Inventor model.
