Autodesk Inventor 2011 Direct Manipulation Demo

Inventor 2011 introduces radically superior ways to design in 3D. Breakthroughs in both assembly design and part modeling usher in a new era of dramatically easier to use, easier to learn design tools. Autodesk Technical Evangelist Rob Cohee introduces you to some of the new features inside of Autodesk Inventor 2011 such as Dynamic Input while sketching and Direct Manipulation.

@encorporadow I would check out students.autodesk.com. There you can download (free) Autodesk® Inventor®, Autodesk® Revit®, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Maya®, and AutoCAD®. Use the right application for the right project. Working on a building or BIM project? Revit. Working on an SAE Baja car - Inventor. Let me know if you have any questions.

Very nice. One thing I noticed is that if you switch to "classic User Interface" Direct Input does not appear...We have Inv. 2011 at work, but everyone is afraid of the new User Interface Ribbon (except me), so they won't use it... If they only knew what they are missing.

what are you using to navigate (how you rotate your parts looks very fluid)?? 3d mouse?

Much more AutoCAD-like sketching, cool.

Too bad Autodesk Inventor isn´t more popular, for me is the best design software, even better than Autocad...and sure i agree that there are not too many or too good tutorials on the web
