Autodesk Inventor 2011 help

I don't think there are any restrictions on the software. I'm currently running 5 Autodesk "student" programs and the only difference I've noticed is the plot banner...nothing seems restricted. But I'm going to check on my Inventor 2011 tomorrow. I know I've manually overridden density values in the past on earlier versions of Inventor.

A quick solution to changing the material density if it seems "greyed out" or uneditable, is to simply make a new material and enter the properties you want. We ended up doing this for some rather complex designs on our machine, and as long as the hand calcs are done correctly, you will get a weight within 5% of the actual.

Note: There is not supposed to be any limitations between the "student" and "regular" versions other than the plotting banner (watermark), and that you can't import a student version into a regular version (or the other way around can't remember). If this doesn't work please let me know.

You can in fact do both, as I do almost daily with files from AutoCAD, Revit Architecture and 3ds Max. Most of the time a warning prompt it displayed when you go from student to full stating that the plot banner will remain.

Are you modifying the iproperties within an assembly or the part?
