Seeking Inventor users

[Taalgaardenier]

Is there anybody experienced or studying Inventor from Autodesk?

What do you need, I'm a user.

I'm a user too, not a master at it. But 'normal' modeling is no problem.
I'm also Dutch speaking if that would be any help.

You don't hear much about Inventor. We had it many years ago after Mechanical Desktop. But we never made much headway with it. It wasn't long after that that we went to Solidworks and Inventor fell off the radar. I wonder what kind of future Inventor has with so much development resources being dumped into Fusion?

I use Inventor currently, along with HSM for Inventor. I haven't had any issues.

Used Inventor/HSM since mechanical desktop. Also used Solidworks with HSMworks(before Autodesk bought it). Both very similar. Despite various bugs on both platforms, integrated CAD CAM is a huge time saver when developing/changing product design. I Have fusion, but unfortunately, fusion can't handle large assemblies, so it's out.

FYI it is no longer call Inventor HSM, it's called Inventor CAM
but not to be confused with SolidCAM\InventorCAM (no space between) https://www.solidcam.com/en-us/cam-solutions/cad-integration/autodesk-inventor/

I use Inventor at work every day. I find it easy to use, both cad and cam, no gripes with it. What do you want to know about it?

I use Inventor. Im mostly detailing weldments and making sheetmetal patterns. I sometimes use the stress analysis suite for basic static loading FEA. I find it easier than Solidworks, even though I learned CAD on that.
