I want to know how many Inventor users are here.

I compared Inventor to Solidworks and found that although Solidworks has a few capabilities that Inventor does not yet have, I found Inventor easier to use.

Plus I did not want to give up my Autocad updates. IV or SW cannot replace many of things I can do with Autocad at this point.(with all the custom 3rd party programs the many users have generated).

I took the one week class for IV and need to keep practicing with it to get good.

One thing that was mentioned in class is that the plan is to eventually get all the functionality from Acad and MDT into Inventor. Its at release 8 now, 9 is due out soon. Release 10 next year, will have full surface modeling capabilities.
