Virtual v5 bot designing, cad-ish

[anon22619360]

The main difference is that Fusion is cloud based and Inventor is not. I use Fusion but I have never used Inventor. Also, joints are more difficult with Inventor. I would say both platforms have learning curves and one isn’t much easier than the other. It is more of a personal preference. Both work perfectly well for VEX.

Have a look at these threads for more information:

Autodesk Fusion or Inventor?

Has anyone looked at Autodesk Fusion over Inventor Professional? Lookign to kick start the high school students with their designs, but I noticed this new product from Autodesk. Is it easier to use or use less system resources than Inventor? Can you import the part files or STEP files people have made for Vex parts?

Inventor vs. Fusion 360

At Worlds I got to see Fusion 360 in action at the Autodesk area. We have been using Fusion for the last few years and didn’t know if anyone else was thinking of switching or had switched to Fusion 360? So far my observations are that it is much easier to “join” parts together in Fusion, but I am having more difficulty cutting pieces, etc.
