Inventor to AutoCAD

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Guys,
I use Autocad for 3D all the time. It allows me to draw up a room add speakers and aim them, position accoustic materials and view the finished room without having to build it. Granted, I am not designing new parts for production, Mechanical Desktop and Autodesk's other products are more suited for that. ACAD does a nice job of getting your thoughts on paper, documenting as built structures and devices, calculating cable run lengths, conduit needs and plotting all of the above on paper. It is a powerful tool, don't sell it short.
I once used ACAD 3D to model the intersection of our satellite receive path in relation to O'Hare Airport 27 Left runway glide slope. This gave me the proof I needed that approach radars were getting into our satellite signals.
