Any news on Hypermill release to match it?

New features?

SF:

The development group is currently absorbed in finishing a major release and this task will then follow.

Info on the new functions will also come soon. We have a staff meeting at HQ in early May to get more internal info on this.

Will 2009.2 work in Inventor 2010 if it is running in Windows 7? Is that 32bit or 64bit?

[Alan L]

HM 2009.2 will contain support for Inventor 2010.

A customer has told us of very nice performance results running on Window 7 OS. But we do not yet have an official statement from OPEN MIND QA group about this.

I just got an HP laptop with an Intel i7 processor. It came with 64bit Windows 7 home premium.

Autodesk will be supporting many of their products, including Inventor 2010, for Windows 7. So far it looks like IV2010 is a go on Win7!

With the Windows 7 64 bit, I wonder if the USB key will work? Does anybody use Hypermill with Vista 64bit?

Yes, there are 64-bit dongle drivers. And there are customers with Vista 64 bit OS.

Alen, In the documentation that comes with Inventor, it looks as though that if you have a 64bit operating system like on my new win 7 laptop, that you have only one choice and that is to install the 64 bit Inventor 2010. I looked anyway but during the install I did not see any way to direct it to the 32bit version. BTW, the install went very well and it all seams to work.

The ribbon interface is way different! That is going to take some getting used to.

My new laptop is Windows 7 64 bit. We desperately need a solution for this!

Today in the webinar they talked about how inventor works inside several different CAD programs but they did not talk to this issue.

It would be great if they go over all the operating systems and CAD and 32 bit vs 64 bit and tell us what works what doesn't and when the W7 64 will be coming. Should I stop waiting and buy/build another computer?

Subject to change ... gotta start with the disclaimer.

Win7 support - 2009.2 SP1, end Q1
Inventor 2011 - 2009.2 SP1, end Q1
64-bit - forecasted end Q3

I decided to put a Windows 7 32 bit computer together to try the new 2009.2 software.

It looks like they deleted the Utilities disk and installation!?? I did not know this was so till I started the install. The 2009.2 is not designed for Win 7 so maybe the installer is just not working properly but it did look like it worked OK.

I will let you all know what happens.

EDIT: It did not install correctly. It only partially functions inside of Inv. It will open the browser but complains about tool database. If I try to open the tool database it complains that a DLL is missing. I think somebody told me that they did get it to work inside of Win 7 32bit . . . I will play some more.

We finally got the service pack last week that lets us run the 2009.2 code in Windows 7 (32 bit only) and in Inventor 2011. I was never able to use Inventor 2010 so I am now looking at how many changes there are in jumping two versions.

I am still needing the 64 bit version of the code so I can use my new laptop but for now I am up and running on my old Pentium D desktop PC. I wonder if it is still third quarter?
