Okay, that's what I feared. It seems like it makes it difficult to quickly move parts around and try different configurations, and that's really what I was hoping to do.
I detect a hint of dis-content with Inventor .............

As someone who has used Autocad in the past and now uses Inventor, I hope you will give Inventor a fair trial. You have to "Free Up" your thinking a little when it comes to how models relate to space. Once you master the concept of constraints, you won't want to go back. I know it can be tough, I had a hard time getting over the concept of drawing relative to X=0, Y=0.

I'll soon be converting those extrusion models to iParts. This is a way cool feature added to Inventor 5. After conversion, when the part is dropped into an assemby, a dialog box will ask you for the length and there will be no need to save an individual .ipt.

...... don't give up ......trust me on this ........
