The Inventor family is bigger and better than ever

Hot off the press!

 

The Autodesk® Inventor® 2010 software product line offers many significant usability and productivity enhancements that will benefit users who need to create, optimize, and validate designs involving plastic parts, sheet metal parts, and large assemblies. The major areas of focus in Inventor 2010 are:

 

• Plastic Part Design
• Simulation and Layout Design
• Interoperability and Data Exchange
• Usability and Productivity

 Not only have we added new functionality to Inventor, we’re adding new products to the family that extend the reach of Digital Prototyping to address the needs to more in the manufacturing sector. 

The AutoCAD Inventor Professional Suite includes the new Autodesk Inventor Tooling software to streamline the design of injection molds for plastic parts. This new application will enable you to quickly create and validate complete mold designs, reducing errors and improving mold performance. 

Also brand new in the 2010 lineup is the AutoCAD® Inventor LT™ Suite.  By combining the part-level 3D power of Autodesk Inventor LT with the world-leading 2D drafting and detailing power of AutoCAD LT®, this new suite makes it more affordable and practical for AutoCAD LT users in manufacturing to take their design productivity to the next level, start benefiting from 3D and get on the path to Digital Prototyping. 

AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and AutoCAD Electrical 2010

AutoCAD Mechanical received a new user interface with improved dialogs and commonality with the AutoCAD ribbon makes experienced users even more productive and simplifies adoption for new users coming from standard AutoCAD.  Together with the new automatic BOM Extraction utility it’s easier than ever for customers to migrate from AutoCAD while preserving their legacy data. AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 provides the best ever ROI for engineering customers who need to update the 2D workflows.

 

 

Electrical Designers can be even more productive with dynamically generated rules-based controls circuits based on components, wiring, ratings, and catalog data. Also with new one-line symbol library to create intelli­gent motor control one-line diagrams, a new ribbon interface and user defined workspaces, AutoCAD Electrical provides users unparalleled productivity and a clear advantage over companies that do the electrical diagrams in generic CAD programs.

Is this correct, are you now calling Autodesk Inventor AutoCAD Inventor?

I thought it was Inventor I was using, Not AutoCAD. We took a decision five years ago, not to use AutoCAD, but start with Inventor. Why I god's name are you pushing the AutoCAD name on us.
