Whats going on with Inventor Series???
(OP)
Hello there!, I have just spent ages looking around the net to clear up something about Inventor Series and still have not found the info I am looking for!!! Perhaps someone can clarify it for me............
Right, as far as I am led to believe, you can get Autodesk Inventor 'Series' 5.3 which comprises of AutoCAD2002, Mechanical, MDT and Inventor. All this I heard comes in at around £4,500 UK Pounds. Is this true?, is it only for a limited period?, if so when does it end?. I cant seem to get any 'proper' prices for it anywhere.
I have ben to the autodesk site and looked in the 'store' and there is only a few apps in the list, I then looked for local resellers and they are all still advertising all apps in the series seperately at nearly £4000 each!, whats going on here?.
I have been trying to sway the managers into autodesk, and as I was led to believe you could get Inventor series for about £4,500 (which included the four apps) I told them this and they were intrested for once..........now Im wondering if I have made a big mistake.
Can somebody clear this up for me???. Looks like chances of getting something decent to work on are once again going to be scuppered......
Thanks,
Sirius.

RE: Whats going on with Inventor Series???
I would definitely see if you could arrange a local rep to give you a 30 minute demo on Inventor. We thought it was time well spent and it will answer any questions you've got.

Please drop Drew Fulford of www.mymcad.com a line. He has just recently sold this this package to companies in Canada. He should be able to steer you to the right people in Britain if he cant sell you the package himself.

Anyway, what I was told today is that yes, inventor 5.3 series is a bundle of four apps and costs roughly £4000 UK pounds (Why is it cheaper for Americans BTW?????? - Rip OFF Britain stikes again!). Anyway, thats an absolute bargain as it is!!!!.
They also told me a FULL set of surfacing tools would be present on the next release.....is this true?? we need hybrid surface capability like MDT can offer really and MDT's file system is much better too(ie just model/layouts rather than all those bloody seperate ones!!!). I must admit I LOVE mechanical desktop and mechanical more though yet.........
Anyway, Im digressing. I may post another question soon about other stuff so thanks again.
Sirius.
