Inventor is ok, but I remember some translation problems a few years ago with it. Odd scaling in IGES. Anyways, I gave up on the software of the month club long ago.

If a customer sketches on a paper napkin, I'll use it. If a customer has Solidworks I'll use it. If a customer has ACAD, I'll use it. If a customer has Pro-E or Solid Designer, and wants me to use native files, they can fawkin go somewhere else.

I have not run into any problems with inventor 10 it seems to work great and I am able to send it to my subs for them to make my sheet metal parts and CNC from the same programs so it suites me fine right now.Since I started drawing everything in it everything has gone much smoother since. No more glitches
