Paperless Process
We took our first crack at a paperless process, (CAD to Mill without drawings), and I was wondering how many other teams do this regularly?

For those that do, what are you using to create the tool paths?

We've been using Inventor for the CAD and then translating to stp so that tool paths can be created in Key Creator (school's CAD), but the loss in associativity in the transfer creates a pinch point in the work flow waiting for tool paths. Anybody got alternatives out there that work with Inventor?
