Its been days, since my posting here @ CADProfessor, yes it has many reasons and one for sure: definitely is that I was working on the Pre-release of Autodesk Inventor 2011, which has wide range of functionality. Of course I’m tight lipped because, I need to wait until March Third Week to vent out the information I’ve gathered.

This post is to make people aware of the wide range of functionality that Autodesk Inventor has added over the years to grow from a MID range CAD Product into a High End CAD Product. But what about the pricing structure., its quite more less than other High Range CAD Products like  CATIA and other vertical CAD products.

Autodesk has made many acquisitions and updates to support and enhance Autodesk Inventor till date, few are listed below

Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), the world's leading design software and
digital content company, announced today an agreement to acquire
certain assets of MechSoft, Inc., an Autodesk Inventor(R) Certified
Applications Program partner and developer of the award-winning
MechSoft product. This move advances Autodesk's goal of delivering
engineering capabilities to the design department to help customers
build products based on the concept of "functional design." Functional
design is a new, more direct way to design in 3D. Autodesk plans to
integrate key components of MechSoft's technology into future versions
of Autodesk Inventor Series.
