Very happy with the purchase overall. We needed something that would allow us to view models upfront during the quoting stages and this software has allowed us to do that with ease.
Our customers use newer releases of Catia than EnSuite has compatibility. Unfortunately, that simply makes the software inadequate for our needs.
The user interface of EnSuite is great, intuitive, and overall compliments our current software suite. The program works with large assemblies with reasonable speed, although loading could be faster.
It looked a bit empty, I'm not entirely sure what other functionalities this software had, as I used it just for a very brief and specific task.
I liked the ease to use. I used it to quickly calculate some volumes from some designs we had in a hurry.
There is no "mask feature" that can add a drawing border or a plotview type of area.
The ability to open 3-D models no matter what format our customer's sent them to us. You do not need to have prior knowledge of 3-D software in order to use this product as it is very user friendly.
After the 5th, i use a backup software that i don't like.
It has a great ability to adapt to the tastes of people as you can customize the interface as well as its tools having the ability to customize the packages.
A number of irritating problems functionally have prevented us from integrating Inventor fully into our systems.
ILogic is amazing, it's like having a programming language built into Inventor, a powerful way to automate some parts of design and fabrication.
Frequent crashes, printer problems, network headaches, too expensive, funcionality middle grade.
It's a great tool for modeling, it has a clear and friendly UI. It's a great option, and probably it will satisfy all your needs.
If it is opened in autocad, nothing can be edited, but there is no notification to indicate that it was created in inventor and can only be edited there.
In my case being a professional of iNGENIERIA IS OF GREAT BENEFIT BECAUSE Inventor is updated (with the help of users in Inventor Ideas) and improves with each new version.
Its PRICEY, and it doesn't run on MacOS. That said, it is professional grade and you get what you pay for.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
