5.0

Andrew: My name is Andrew. I work as an administrative assistant. I give Autodesk Inventor a five. For more views, click below. I used some sort of... I did use a sketching software before Autodesk Inventor, but that was so far back in high school I forgot its name. But since I started Autodesk Inventor, I haven't gone back. I chose Inventor because of the variety of tools they use like Extrude tool, IDW format and IPT format. And it was just an endless possibility list that they gave me. It was pretty easy getting started with Inventor mainly because I had prior knowledge of Autodesk to begin with. So it was pretty easy to get started on it. I would say that beware of its cost because as good as Inventor is, it's definitely something you're going to have to break the bank little just to get, unless you're in a corporate company using it.
