Which Version of Inventor to use?
I would like to know what versions of Inventor teams are using to create CAD Models of their robots?

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
Last year 291 used Inventor professional 2013. I imagine we will be upgrading to 2014 though here soon

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
We use 2014.

Advantages: easier to use than previous versions, and Autodesk 360 is well-integrated.

Disadvantage: crashes much more than previous versions.

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
We are still on 2012 Professional 64-bit. If we upgrade, it would be to 2014.

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
We designed in 2014 this year but as stated above it crashes a lot.

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
My team uses PTC Creo, but I use Inventor for my own things. I've mostly used 2013, but have started using 2014 recently. 2013 never really crashed for me. 2014 I really haven't used enough to say how much it crashes.

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
Personally, I used Inventor Professional 2012 for two years or so, and liked it a whole lot, despite it having some annoying perks. I recently formatted my computer and took the opportunity to move to 2013's version. I find it marginally easier to use, but it does a lot more of freezing and crashing.

We've upgraded most of our personal and team computers to 2014.

Edit: I have 2014 on my personal computer and never had it crash, but haven't used the team computers long enough to know of those

Re: Which Version of Inventor to use?
Penn Robotics uses Inventor 2014. We are on a lease, so we always get the most updated version.
