very nice! I usually use NX but I've just started training in Inventor today for my new job and I gotta say I like it. Might need to pilfer some of these files off dropbox on break keep up the good work!
Thanks guys!
I will post up the files for the dropbox soon
For a little part there feedback was a PITA to deal with because of some of the curves. Had to use a few different sweeps to get the profile right on the main body. Bunch of engraving on the lever for the eclipse wording as well, since inventor doesn't have an extrude from surface option unlike solid works does.
Sticker was fun, but for some reason the last little bit of the decal didn't want to wrap correctly. Tried fixing it but nothing seemed to work.
I should have some more parts done within the week, just depends on what sort of time I can put into the project.

Well they gave me two of the big manuals for it and i have been given a week to learn it inside and out but I gotta say I'm really liking it so far
Got a little bit more work done for my Etha project. Did the drive train and it turned out ok.

At first we only used it for electrical controls, but have found the same success with our pneumatic controls. You can use this to track inputs and outputs, circuit board design, isolation, power calculations, etc. It splits your project into a visual CAD image and underlying database of information attributes (wire size, voltage, label, shield, etc.) assigned to each image object. I don't think there's an equivalent package in Solidworks, but if there is - I'd love to know what it is and what people think of it.
