Yes, what would you like to know?
So far what I've seen is that the sheet metal absolutely rocks (which is 90% of what I do) and the content center now has PEM hardware.
I use the new viewcube quite often, but I can't imagine who would use the steering wheel function introduced in the 09 versions of inventor and autocad. It just seems to be a constant nuisance since it follows your mouse everywhere. Someone let me know if they find it useful. Maybe I'm missing a large part of it's functionality.
I'll throw this in here since AutoCAD is bundled with inventor; AutoCAD's UI has seen quite an overhaul. It's much more aesthetic, and I can only assume AutoDesk was trying to build it to compliment Vista's looks. Weren't the 09 versions supposed to be referred to as "Raptor" or something???

So i just got 2009 on my PC yeterday and i have to say i love the new UI.
Only thing i noticed is that the layermanager takes for forever and ever and ever and ever to open or change just the color of a layer. Not sure if any1 else has this problem but its quite annoying.

I haven't had a problem with the layer manager and I have about 30+ layers atm.

I'm looking forward to being able to dimension to the COG in a .idw, never really played with sheet metal, not since release 7, I guess things are much beter now.:wink:

I recommend NOT using the .idw's in Inventor. I know it's the native drawing format, but you can't send .idw's to someone on a different computer without sending them every drawing that it references. Using the .dwg templates, on the other hand, is a completely different story. I've had no problems whatsoever using the .dwg's. Just make sure, if that's the route you'll go, to change .dwg to the inventor default.
That's straight from the mouth of the Inventor instructor I had.
