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. ----- ### "Autodesk inventor user advantage" — 5.0/5 > **Swaroop** | *30 August 2024* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like I logic programming \& inventor has a huge content center library. > > **Cons**: Static analysis results need to be precised \& reported errors need to be resolved. > > I am using inventor since 4 years and a user friendly tool to designing and drafting. I logic programming was the greatest advantage by using inventor. ----- ### "Fantastic Software - Assemblies could be made simpler" — 4.0/5 > **Jack** | *12 January 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to turnnideas into an easily viewable 3D part is incredible. The basic actions are very simple and has prompts which show you how to complete such as 2d sketches and then pulling it out into a 3D shape. > > **Cons**: Assemblies always seem difficult, wither mating physicslly or with rules it always seems glitchy and I havent been able to grasp it fully. Despite this I am able to assemble my parts but I can tell the relationships are not full. > > Overall Inventor is fantastic for a wide range of industries. I particularly use it for creating designs for fabrication to send to third party contractors and it always helps the iberall design procedure. ----- ### "Easy to use and robust" — 5.0/5 > **Mario** | *29 June 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and robust CAD software. The user interface can be adjusted but it's not over complicated. I cannot comment on the value for moneybut I understand that it the cost was reasonable. The export options work well and the drawings are exctracted smoothly. > > **Cons**: I think the add-in modules such as pipe and equipment were not easy to use nor easy examples or tutorials were provided. There are equipment vendors with in-house CAD software that gives you more capabilities to build standard systems than what Inventor allows. I'm missing a clear and simple pipe and equipment module where you could also define your own standard components with connectiond and fittings if you wish to. > > Very positive. I always liked working with Inventor. If you add too many constrains or the system is over complicated it has crashed a couple of times but it might be due to my laptop specs. In general I really like it. I'd keep using it. ----- ### "Inventor: A powerful 3D modeling system" — 5.0/5 > **Ayub** | *7 March 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: powerful iLogic feature that simplies repetitive tasks > > **Cons**: Inventor doesn't allow real-time collaboration > > We primarily use Autodesk Inventor for parametric modeling, and it is very powerful ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/174020/inventor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/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
