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...

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...
