Inventor Reviews & Product Details

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 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.

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.

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.

I like the easy interface and the interoperability capabilities that Inventor already offers. The BIM Content feature is the bread and butter of the software for my usage. I love that I can easily extract and export a Revit file with the simplify tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides is the error capture when the software crashes. I've had multiple scenarios where Inventor will crash but with no crash report. This makes it real difficult to resolve or reproduce the issue. I would like to know what the file max sizes are before trying to opening the solidworks file to avoid the software from crashing.

Parameter driven modelling and assemblies are well structured is quite simple to learn. Drawing creation and structuring is good. Inventor offers a range of possibilities in simulation and analisys which are simple to use, with a lot of online recources if you are unsure on how to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility and ease of use is not quite at the level of Creo parametric, but all in all the user experieence is comparable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a CAD software with manhy features that facilitate 3D modeling and visualization. It has an FEA simulation mode that is much more comprehensive than other typical CAD softwares. It allows opening and saving files in various extensions, wich facilitates collaborative work with other people using different software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some assembly commands are not as intuitive and take some time to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most good feature about Inventor is the Dynamic simulation part, you can make a robot and simulatte it, with different angle of rotations. You can predict the structure failures like, VonMisses stress analysis and other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The detailing is quite difficult, for example if you did not assemble to parts correctly like with, ptoper screws, you can not have proper simulation results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple User interface and workflow, making it easy for beginners to learn and use. It has wide range of tools for Parametric modeling, freeforms and direct modelling. And it has very great integration with other Autodesk products. All this with good coustomer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs High system requirements for good performance. It has limited compatibility with non - Autodesk file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
