Inventor used to be the hardest program to install….with the possible exception of any flavor of MS Windows on a raid setup…but that all went away. Until today.

Apparently the LT version of inventor either can’t be installed side-by-side with the big fat versions of same ……or there is a glitch in the install program that isn’t in the full version. I’ve installed those recently without a hitch. Whatever the case may be, the trial version of Inventor LT would not install. So…I’m stuck with the brochure from their website.

The official brochure states “With powerful part-level parametric modeling, Autodesk Inventor LT delivers the capabilities you need to design mechanical parts in 3D.”….…information that is about as useless as teats on a bull. Are they the new multi solid body parts, or the old-school single bodied parts? Huge difference.

The Top 5 Reasons to Move from AutoCAD LT® to AutoCAD® Inventor LT™ Suite is pretty much the same as the official brochure, except now with an awesome numbering system to delineate the information.

Oh well. Back to designing the Archive Gizmotron. If you have any information on what I may be doing wrong to get this program to install, or can just answer a few questions, just add a comment to this article.
