Autodesk AutoCAD Inventor LT Suite 2011

The AutoCAD Inventor LT Suite includes Autodesk Inventor LT and AutoCAD LT software, helping make it more practical and affordable for mechanical design professionals to start adding the productivity benefits of 3D, participate in Digital Prototyping workflows and compete more effectively. Inventor LT provides powerful part-level 3D parametric modeling, multi-CAD translation capabilities, automated DWG™ drawing views and other capabilities found in Autodesk Inventor. Inventor LT is interoperable with the included version of AutoCAD LT.

Features:

3D Part Modeling
Sketching
Evaluate design ideas as versatile 2D layouts before creating detailed part models.

Automated Drawings
Use Autodesk Inventor LT software to deliver precise, standards-compliant manufacturing drawings faster.

3D Modeling
Extrude, revolve, or sweep sketches into 3D models. Add holes, fillets, chamfers, patterns, and more to complete 3D part designs.

Physical Properties
Make right decisions by automatically calculating real-world properties during the design process.

Automatic Drawing Views
Create drawings quickly by calling using specific drawing views, including front, side, ISO, detail, section, and auxiliary views.

Standards and Styles
Make drawings automatically comply with industry and corporate standards and formatting styles.

DWG Integration
DWG Save/Open
Save Inventor LT drawings as DWG files. Open, view, plot, and measure DWG drawings directly.

Copy and Paste from AutoCAD
Copy and paste 2D design data into 3D designs to save time.

AutoCAD Blocks from Inventor LT Views
Generate AutoCAD® blocks from Inventor LT drawing views, and then integrate the new drawing views directly into original 2D drawings.

3D Design Communication and Multi-CAD Collaboration

Use Inventor LT to accurately exchange 3D data between common CAD file formats, improving communication and collaboration with suppliers, stakeholders, and customers.

Native Translators
Exchange part-level data between Inventor LT software and CATIA® V5, NX®, SolidWorks®, and Pro/ENGINEER® systems.

STEP/IGES
Read and write part-level design and drawing data using industry-standard formats while maintaining data accuracy.

Inventor Studio
Use andvanced rendering tools to quickly create photorealistic images of parts.

Notes:
1) Autodesk® Inventor LT™ 2010 software is provided both as 32-bit application and as 64-bit application for installation and use on the corresponding operating system only.
2) English versions of Inventor LT will run on any language operating system. Other language versions of Inventor LT will run on operating systems of that same language.
3) Autodesk Inventor LT 2010 is optimized to take advantage of the SSE2 extended instruction sets supported on Pentium 4, AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Opteron processors. Inventor LT 2010 will not install on computers that do not support SSE2, such as those with Pentium® III processors. Several utilities are available on the internet that report CPUID including supported instructions sets.
4) Autodesk recommends settings which allow Microsoft® Windows® to manage virtual memory as needed. There should always be at least twice as much free hard disk space as system memory (RAM).
5) Please refer to the Autodesk published graphics card information.
6) Inventor LT 2011 is available only on DVD (or electronic download in some situations). DVDROM drive is not required if installing using software download methods.
7) The multimedia learning components of the Inventor LT Help system require Adobe Flash Player 10 be installed. If it is not already installed, you can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
