Autodesk Inventor 5

Autodesk Inventor 5 ... that invented desktop design and offers a complete design-to-manufacture solution, Autodesk Inventor gives you the freedom to design without limits. This mechanical design software is an assembly-centric solid modeling (3D) and drawing production (2D) system built with unique adaptive technologies. Autodesk Inventor was created to eliminate the limitations imposed by other MCAD software, especially pure parametric, and to capitalize on the process developments now emerging in the manufacturing industry.

Autodesk Inventor 5 reflects unparalleled ease-of-use improvements throughout the product. It delivers industry-leading DWG compatibility, a standard parts library, access to real world manufacturers' content, and many productivity improvements. Building on its innovative Adaptive Technology, Autodesk Inventor 5 delivers substantial improvements to the assembly-modeling environment, the Dynamic Constraints engine, the Knowledge Vault, and the Drawing environment. With this software, you'll work efficiently in the context of complete assemblies. In fact, you'll load, view, edit, and save large models two to ten times faster than with other top-selling mechanical design solutions. Autodesk Inventor introduces the concept of adaptive design, a design methodology that enables you to work the way you think, rather than forcing you to adapt to arbitrary processes.
