RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
Repeat after me... I don't need to have Windows 7, I don't need to have Windows 7.
No point in staying current with an OS when you can't stay current with the programs that run on it..Or don't run on it.
RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
I don't think I agree with any part of that statement. A test machine would be a production machine, normally the Design Manager. You need updates, usually they resolve problems that being experienced in the design packages. The internet is a valuable resource for research learning, supplier and community parts, etc. Employers that overly restrict access for viewing sites and downloads are tying designers and engineers hands being their backs and expecting them to be even more productive. Bad management. If a design team has a lead designer or manager that knows what they are doing any and all issues can be resolved w/o issue.
Windows 7 is great, I don't have software issues unless we are trying to run really old software, such as COSMOS DesignSTAR 4.0 or AutoPIPE 2004. I agree with mcgyvr, subscription is the way to go.
RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
If I need the internet I use my laptop. If I need to connect my laptop to the production box then I unplug the laptop from the Internet.
Net result of that is is that I spend zero time fiddling with my production box. The tools are there, I use them. It's been there for 6 years.

And if I only spent 1/2 an hour working on a job before diddling away at something else then I'd have ADD, not an engineering mindset.

RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
Actually they are high end packages, they require large amounts of computer resources, processing and graphics. Yeah they are easy to use thanks to the user interface you mention but to use them well or to know anything about the administration for a medium to large installation takes time .
I think you missed the point, no one 'diddles away' at something else, working on a project requires the use of multiple tools simultaneously, which isn't possible if you have to change computers. Particularly anyone working in product design.
I work as a mechanical engineer these days but use mainly FEA programs rather than CAD but they are not so high end if you break down what they are actually doing (repetitive manipulation) and require similar computers to run. The only difference is the memory limitation to the number of DOF that are able to be solved.
It is a shame this thread got so off topic.
RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
I neither know nor care about your other points, since you seem to live on a planet other than mine.

Clearly you must live on your own little planet that is the centre of your universe. There is a real world outside that is moving faster than you, keep up.

Was going to let a dead dog lie but I stumbled upon this article by accident the other day..

RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
The author of that cadprofessor article should go back to grammar school.
RE: Inventor 11 and Windows 7
Yeah he is Indian, but there are some good users and engineers from there.
Either way, I am not the only one who defines Inventor as a high end cad package. I wasn't even looking for that link when I found it but I could get sources from more well known authors if I needed to.
Either way, it had nothing to do with what I was originally talking about. Do you disagree mcgyvr?
