Well, everyone has opinions, and most of them, well ...

!
Work license at home - great theory, assuming your company allows you to take your license home, and install corporate software on a non-corporate computer (maybe they'd buy me a home computer ?) I haven't worked for a corporate client who'd allow something like that for YEARS, and the one I'm thinking of that might have allowed it, well - they're not in business anymore so I really couldn't say.
Yeah, the speediest guys can cad-jockey like the wind ! Not alot of value in that if the work product is 2nd rate. I'll assume yours is among the very best - an anomaly. The very best guys spend more time on mastery of their craft and less on programming hotkeys ... just sayin'...
In any case, my goal isn't to beat the guy next to me to the finish line. Right now, as stated in my opening post, I'm focusing on LEARNING a new tool. CLEARLY where things are located and how they work are of premier importance, way ahead of how to program the hot-keys. BTW- are there even HOTKEYS in Inventor? AutoCAD, yes, but Inventor too ? Hmmmm .... not quite sure how that would even work, but hey, I'm still trying to master a new tool. SO-
Anybody aware of a good Inventor workalike that I could use at home to solve a problem I might encounter at work, much as a good AutoCAD workalike would allow ? I've hear Alibre might be a worthy candidate... Thoughts ?
Thanks-
Charley.
