Re: Best software for drawings with numerous constraints

what is the actual deliverables environment? Inventor is a 3D CAD system, but it kinda sounds like you're actually looking to do only-2D stuff. Surely, Inventor is more suitable for 3D, but, as I mentioned, it was my primary CAD system carried from university, where we used it for drawings at the s...

Re: Best software for drawings with numerous constraints

Generally someone eventually is going to introduce you to the concept of best practice. It is probably considered "best practice" to break that sketch up into smaller sections, and allow each section to be somewhat self-contained. ... Maybe you could be more specific about what you are tr...

Best software for drawings with numerous constraints

Hi, everyone, I work with drawings that have to be fully adaptive. For this, I commonly use numerous constrains and parametric dimensions. For several years, I used Autodesk Inventor (as was taught in university). However, when dealing with 300+ constraints and dimensions, Inventor starts lagging an...
