    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.

    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.

    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.

    Everything. There are much more cost effective products out there - Try OnShape for a glimpse of the next generation of what CAD will be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Poor performance with large assemblies. Project files are a waste of my time. Why can't I change my rotation and pan schemes!? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Every feature/tool I can think of in Inventor is better realised in Solidworks or Creo. Vault professional is not a great product either. It isn't really a PDM system, just a fancy file manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Overall: I feel 80% is enjoyable. I can build structures or components. Its getting better every time, the other 20% is just basic frustration not being able to mirror components in assemblies and keep them linked, and not being able to copy mates on assemblies is just a big time waster.

    Overall: I created many solid models, assemblies and drawings. Compared to a previous high end system I used, it has been very robust and rarely crashes. Once you know it it is very intuitive.

    Overall: Inventor is a great tool and easy to learn and be productive with. It is not a direct solution for any specific trade other than Sheet Metal, but can be tailored to fit.

    Overall: Overall Inventor is a decent CAD package. A lot of functionality for a relatively low cost. However this comes with some frustrations.
