Lazer Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Another great release. Personally 3d sketch is amazing along with boundry patch. I know other packages have these but it makes my job easier now Inventor has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Personally 3d sketch is amazing along with boundary patch. .... Can you elaborate? I have been using 3D sketches in Inventor for as long as I can remember and Boundary Patch back to r10 (that is r10, not r2010). I haven't had a chance to use 2017 yet. What is new in 2017 about 3D sketching and Boundary Patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 3D sketch is easier to use allowing you to align the coordinate system to a plane. Ortho now works in 3d space. Sketch directly onto a curve surface. 3D Transform is a nice introduction allowing you to move the 3d sketch with ease. Boundary patch is is very powerful allowing you to use guide rails. I often use boundary patch so this will be very handy for me. All in all another good release this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbradley Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 2017 installed and working great. I used to inadvertently close Inventor when I was trying to print. I would click on the I, and there might be some kind of Delay, and I would click it again, and poof there goes the program shutting down. I don't do this anymore with 2017 because they moved the File menu option. I know, little things. Question: Now that I've got 2017, is there any reason why I should not Uninstall 2016 from my PC?

Lazer Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yes the double click on that that icon made the program shut down I'm happy they have changed it in 2017 2017 has only just been released. It will have bugs and issues. These bugs will be address in the service packs that will follow in a month or 3. I would not uninstall 2016 just yet. If possible keep hold of it for as long as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
