better inventor or solidworks?

ozzy is right, you as interested should give your opinion, then if they listen well, otherwise you will use what they will give you.
I have colleagues who do my own job with inventor and claim to be well, the tool is mature and I don't think it's a big problem.
Of course you will find some things you did in a moment with swx and you will be making some obstacles with inventor, but you will find the opposite, this is sure.
If I had to pay you and be in negotiation with your associates I would understand your anger, but in this situation... They do what they want and you do what you can with the new cad.
 
Hi, guys.

It's a little that no one writes about this discussion, but I'd need advice from who "mastica" cad-cam every day so I ask the "fatidic" question...

I would like to design remote controlled toys....example type: radio remote control machine with burst motor, remote controlled helicopter etc....

I would like to leave the "motor" part that is already faced by other companies... and I would like to refer only to the mechanical part of the toy.... keeping in mind that I leave from scratch... i.e. I do not know neither sw nor inv....poiche' at the moment I do something only with rhino. excellent on the surfaces, but less on the solids... .

keeping in mind that:

the carriages will be in thermoforming and I would face them once there are the basic dwg or dxf, using rhino

So... I would have to manage both the mechanical part (cookings, differentials, flat frames ( 2d) ...etc etc.) and the possible design of moulds for plastic components to be printed by injection .... so keeping in mind that you have to travasare then all on cam....... besides being able to obtain all the explosions of assemblies in order to obtain the manual of assembly, maintenance and spare parts....

we say that a project type could contain from the 50 to the 300 components (including viteria).... and I would not disdain the management of "media"...possibility to get films (toy movement, accompanied by room movement, zommate etc etc) from "dynamic management". .

according to your "moderate" opinion... on who you would rely on considering your knowledge of the programs....if you should start from scratch??? Is that if you don't have to take into account the historicization of drawings already made and various dances??

differences between the two on the basis of work to be carried out ??
differences in sw house marketing policy? (license fee, sub, agg. ...)
I know very well that the law of the strongest... so I mean... official base.

of course excluded the sw....lt !!! because I think they are insufficient... Or not?

on which versions should I orient myself? for inventor I thought about the "suite 2011" (not the lt)
for sw I don't know.... .

to you the arduous judgment.. :-)
 
io adoro donate my knowledge matured in these 25 years...
who had the fortune to learn a three-dimensional cad from me (euclid, pro/e, ug) I think he understood the difference between one who teaches a cad and one who "places" matter. .
sin no longer make it...
Sempre opo eh?:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
Hello, everyone!
are in phase of purchasing assessment on inventor and solidworks.
my requirement is that of mechanical design (machine organs, dimensions, etc.), but having tested them both I have found merits and defects on both I have to say that they are very fought on the choice to do. What do you think? :confused:
You are perfectly right, difficult choice.
2 similar programs... I can tell you that:
I started in 2007 using inventor for 3 years, after which, in 2010 I used for 1 year both (solidw.. and inventor).
my choice was premium solidworks with flowsim.. in addition and to today I still use it.
I found myself well now (high and low in versions until today) but having no way to use inventor today as I can certainly not tell you who of the 2 is the best.
the only advice I can give you is not to choose according to the price.
solid is so much believed

in 13 years I think he has already chosen:)
 
thank you stefanobruno and thank you matteo.
In fact, the needs (current) are the design (clearly with dimensioning etc.), but apart from this the rapidity of the prototype (sometimes of complex form) is fundamental. inventor already has an integrated computing system (desing accelleretor) while solidworks does not have such a tool, but from what I could see solidworks is much more 'simple' and fast in the constraining of solids.
 
Good morning.

Recently I see advertising of solidworks licenses at 100euro or a little more on various sites (try to search on google inventor permanent license) ... is there someone who had shopping experiences? Are they valid?
Thank you all!
