Inventor Vs. UG

Inventor Vs. UG

Inventor Vs. UG

(OP)
We currently Use Inventor For solid modeling and Rhinoceros for surface modeling for RV manufacturing.  In my opinion Inventor is not very stable, crashes often, and accuracy of Rhino is not adequate for the company machining mold patterns.  They have recommended that we purchase a seat of UG.  Does any one have any experience with Inventor to compare with UG?  Is UG more stable on a 1500-3000 part assembly?  Any input would be appriciated.

RE: Inventor Vs. UG

Yes, very much so. We had one division that had problems with 200-300 part assemblies in Inventor. We have 3000 unique parts, 4500+ total, in UG assemblies.

RE: Inventor Vs. UG

There is no comparison.  UG is by far a superior CAD package.  I would love to write a dissertation to prove it to you, but if you can afford the cost of UG and the time to learn it, which, by the way, takes much longer than to learn than Inventor, then buy UG.
