Inventor Reviews & Product Details

I like Inventor's versatility; the same model can be made in different ways, and the interchangeability of 2D drawing options with AutoCAD is great. The software helps a lot by requiring less time to make more productive work. The ability to convert AutoCAD 2D drawings into 3D models easily within Inventor is really handy. Also, the ease of creating structural designs using top-down or top-up assembly methods and having the option of generative design is impressive. The initial setup was very easy.

When I work on large assemblies, Inventor crashes suddenly, and sometimes there's no mouse movement showing. The model feature in drawings for exploded views is not working well. These issues may be resolved by upgrading the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy using Inventor because it allows me to customize the software to my preferences, such as setting up shortcuts and adjusting text styles. I can also personalize the drawing features and much more. Overall, I find it very efficient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, Inventor crashes while I'm using the same feature, which forces me to restart the program. This can be frustrating, especially when I haven't saved my work and end up losing progress. But this helps in the compentitiin to be used of saving every 5 minutes and keep my results of the competition updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a user-friendly CAD software which feels like an upgrade to Autodesk's own Fusion 360, but with a steep learning curve. The tried and tested perfect sketching tools combined with advanced parametric tools Inventor combines simplicity without compromising advanced features.

Its well integrated with all Autodesk family software's and most can be easily exported for use in other CAD software.

As for costs it maybe high for a small shop but worth for the features it provides.

Autodesk have good support and lots of forums official and public ones which are quite helpful.

Software handles huge assemblies without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not mush to dislike other than glitches which may be due to graphics driver issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about inventor is the ease of use as it is easy to learn and understand as you start from a 2d sketch and then make 3d parts out of it which makes it very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that i don't like is that many times when you have to open a large assembly composed of many sub assemblies there is a chance that it may crash without any possibility of saving it. So a lot of time get wasted due to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a user-friendly and robust solid modeling software allows for the creation of Assemblies featuring both Part and Assembly variations.Inventor's user interface is designed to be user-friendly, making it easier for both beginners and experienced users to learn and increase frequency of use and have great customer support,Inventor integrates with ease of implementation with other products.

The step-by-step tutorials could be improved. It's challenging to present premade projects to novice students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inventor is my go-to tool for machine design; From design accelators, frame generators and analysis, to design automation with ilogic features , and dynamic event simulation with a powerful solver etc.

Inventor's featuers are very mature in terms of capacity, and can handle data of so many kinds e.g it BOM, driving configuration with parameter etc.

Inventor also integrates perfectly with PDM tools like Autodesk Vault for administrative purposes, design data managment, file control, to mention a few.

Many other solutions can be integarted with inventor, making it possible to author, validate, fabricate and test your design e.g Inventor Nastran, Inventor Nesting, Factory design utilities, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to master how planes work, if you intend to asemble your parts and components easily, simulating real world relationship between the parts via the asssembly enviroment.

You need to fully understand assembly modeling especially if you are working on a large project with over a thousand part. etc

You need to understand the file structuring and basic file handling within inventor, else you would run into constant erros trying to reuse or locate design files. Sometimes the errors can cost you the clients trust if not managed properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is best for the structural and framework of 3d modeling.

The sketch part is amiable for a new user with less experience.

Similar to AutoCAD with 3d modeling tools.

Bundle with molding, frame generation, a piping module for skid drawing preparation.

Drafting is very friendly and straightforward to generate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one dis advantage is less options and tools for sheet metal genetation and plastic components.

Require to puchase additional license for these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and ability to change stp files into adsk's or rfa's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not realy have a dislike for this application... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inventer is fun to use and there are many shirtcuts you can use to build anything you want to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are a lot of things to know and remember Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remember those clunky design tools that felt more like an obstacle course than a design suite? Yeah, me neither. Now, Inventor's my partner in crime, an extension of my brain that transforms the spark of an idea into a flawless, tangible machine.

Its interface is as intuitive as a well-worn notebook, and its arsenal of features? It's like having a whole team of specialized engineers at my fingertips. Parametric magic? Check. Simulations so real you can practically smell the oil? Check. Assembly management that puts Ikea to shame? You betcha.

Inventor doesn't just help me design – it helps me invent. We take that rough sketch on a napkin and turn it into a future-proof masterpiece. 🪄 And the best part? It seamlessly integrates with my other Autodesk fam, so we're always on the same page.

So, if you're looking for a reliable co-pilot to take your engineering dreams from concept to reality, look no further. Inventor's got your back (and your gears, and your sprockets...). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Imagine: clicking through Inventor feels like second nature, features flow effortlessly under my fingertips. Gone are the days of lag and frustration, replaced by lightning-fast performance. Teamwork? A breeze. We're all on the same page, versions in perfect sync. Other Autodesk tools? They seamlessly join the party, data flowing like a dream. My prototypes? Put to the test with advanced simulations, flaws exposed before they hit the factory floor. Documentation? Crystal clear, each screw and spring accounted for. And those pesky repetitive tasks? Automated to oblivion, freeing me for the creative stuff. That's the Inventor I crave, the one that amplifies my every design whim. Let's build it, together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
