Re: Design Software

When I did all of the drafting, I used a very unique style that I have become known for among my team. I use both Inventor and AutoCAD at the same time. Most will be asking, Why? The answer is simple. AutoCAD is vastly superior for geometry and crunching numbers. Inventor is vastly superior for 3-D modeling. Together I can have the best of both worlds. So, I figure all of my dimensions in AutoCAD and then import them into Inventor for the assembly phase. I consider this the two-sword style of drafting. So far, I am the only one I know to use this so it might not work so well for everyone. Let me know if anyone knows of someone else that uses this style.
