QualityEngineer Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hi, Have already got a copy of AutoCAD 2010 and was beginning to look at AutoCAD Engineering 2010, but wanted to know what is the major difference in terms of engineering drawings and its ability to produce 2d and 3d for CNC engineering relative to the standard AutoCAD. Any opinions? Thanks QE Quote
JD Mather Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have never heard of AutoCAD Engineering 2010. Can you post a url to information on that product? Quote
QualityEngineer Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 sorry mybad, its AutoCAD mechanical....... Looking for the one thatll provide best results in precision engineering for products in the aero, marine defense, formulae 1 and MoD sectors. cheers QE Quote
ReMark Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'd say you'd be better off with Inventor. Quote
JD Mather Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'd say you'd be better off with Inventor. ..........and Inventor includes AutoCAD Mechanical and vanilla AutoCAD for free if you want to use old technology as well as new. Might as well go with 2011 version. Students can get Inventor Professional for free from http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity Quote
QualityEngineer Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Ill look at inventor then. bit pricey though!!!! Thanks QE Quote
ReMark Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Name an AutoDesk product that isn't a bit pricey. There's a challenge for you. Quote
BlackBox Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 ... aero, marine defense, formulae 1 and MoD sectors. Where do I sign up to work with those industries!? Quote
BlackBox Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Name an AutoDesk product that isn't a bit pricey. There's a challenge for you. How about *FREE* - Autodesk DWF Viewer 7 lmao Quote
ReMark Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 What's free today expect to get charged for it tomorrow. AutoDesk is like American Airlines. If they can make you pay for it they will. Quote
QualityEngineer Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Where do I sign up to work with those industries!? Its not all its cracked up to be. Some of the parts are really cool I get to see and do paperwork on, one time I did go to a williams F1 testing day to see the cars at silverstone, but that the height of it. Mostly its paperwork, client meetings and logistics.. But its still cool to work on the parts... Quote
