Hello roninB4,

You're right about Advisor, it doesn't have quit the muscle of MoldFlows top of the line offering which costs about 2-1/2 times as much the last time I checked. I guess like the saying goes "you get what you pay for".

I've never used Inventor or any Autocad product for that matter so I really don't know what it's like. The only thing I do know is that a file created in Inventor never comes into Pro/E cleanly. I don't have as many problems with files created in other softwares as I consistantly do with files created in Inventor.

Since I've added SolidWorks I've yet to import an Inventor file so I'll hold judgement on that until I've tried it a few times.

Where are you located by the way? I'm in the L.A. area.

Have a terrific 4th of July weekend!
