I logic programming was the greatest advantage by using inventor. ----- ### "Nice app for manufacturing" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 May 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use There are many good features that can be used by the user. > > **Cons**: The pricing of this app is very high that is hard to afford for a student. ----- ### "Invent new things" — 4.0/5 > **Ilich Rafael** | *13 June 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The great thing about the inventor is the ability to simulate the created model of the project > > **Cons**: The one con is the price of the inventor its quite pricey, but of course you get what you paid for. > > Overall, the experience with the inventor is like you are really inventing new things ----- ### "RUN AWAY FROM THIS SOFTWARE" — 1.0/5 > **Robert** | *2 July 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing positive to mention if you have used other software before. > > **Cons**: Continued crashes and bugs (I work with an HP workstation optimized for CAD with Xeon, 32gb, Graphics...). Non intuitive tools/Interface. The orbital movement system is trash. Poor restriction functions (specially the tangent one). You need to constantly update the assembly to see the results. Sometimes the preview of the restrictions are not shown for some misterious reason. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT\!\!\!\! -DON'T HAVE AUTO-SAVE- > > The worst Cad software so far. Extremely overrated. I don't even understand the positive comments here. I assume most of them are people new to the game who didn't have a chance to try other software. Solidworks is not perfect, but it is infinitely better than Inventor. This software should be free and even then, it would still be a trash. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/174020/inventor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/174020/inventor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
