Inventor Fusion technology is now avaialable!

So, you're looking for a way to quickly model a component you have an idea for but you don't know enough about how the component will need to be modified to use Inventor?

You'd like to be able to just pick a face and move or pivot it? Maybe add a fillet by sight rather than by a number?

This past winter I invited all of the students and faculty to check out www.inventorfusion.com to see videos of a technology that Autodesk has been preparing. Now, I'd like to have you go to one of my favorite destinations on the web; Autodesk Labs to download this technology and explore it for yourselves at: http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/fusion/

 I've been using an earlier technology preview for a few weeks and I've been impressed by its simplicity and flexibility. I think that users of Autodesk Studio products will find the "marking menu" interface options particularly appealing. Be sure to download the Getting Started document to get a good overview of the approach to make it even easier to get up to speed.

I'd love to hear what you think after kicking the tires. I'd really like to hear from some faculty members and what they think about using it as an early conceptualizing tool for their classes.

Thom,

I really like the Multiple Solids in Fusion to really take use of the Multibody parts in Inventor 2010. Goes a long way when creating a Master Model for a design!

Inventor Fusion

Its a great tool, I found it more interesting to use and have advised my students to try and see how their ideas can come to reality

Thanks

I am very used to AutoCad. I am not sure how helpful is inventor in stamping tool design. Advice.
