    Very Slow

    this may be unrelated but i'll post it in case it helps speed things up. I find that if I'm working off the server things don't work as fast as if i'm working off my hard drive. Even simple commands seem to lag if the server is very busy. keep that in mind.

    How to make v-guided belt follow path?

    Inventor isometric views are NOT to scale

    I'm sorry but you're wrong. Read up on the subject here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection Isometric views are not projections of the true image because the sides are supposed to be equal length. I would like to attain true isometric views from inventor not representations.

    Tips & Tricks for Positions and Assemblies

    Yes I do mean positional representations. I am having problems with their updates. They don't always update properly and I sometimes get errors. I am fairly new with this program despite learning about it in school. Is there a way to ensure that the positional representation is progressively...

    Tips & Tricks for Positions and Assemblies

    I am finding positions to be very confusing. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Does anyone have tricks on making these things work right. Or does someone have tricks that could help me reduce the number of errors that I accrue in my assemblies? I am new to inventor and am getting...
