Hello Everyone,I am a new user of Inventor Pro 11. I have a background based in Autodesk products, but I also have used PRO-E commercially as well. Are there any tips you can give as far as the setup of the program is concerned. I am familiar with the customize dialog box in 2008, but still could us a little direction on initial setup of Inventor PRO 11. Thanks for your help.Thanks,Drafter47
There are a bunch of discussion groups out there that will help you. There are many, many things you can change to match your needs. One is http://www.avat.com/training/elearning/techtips_action.asp?sgid=4

There are many others but these are good starting points. For example you should (?) go to Tools-Application Options-Sketch and under Display, try using 2 for the Constraint Toolbar scale. That makes all the dims, etc. bigger. Good for high res displays. Also, I set my planes and origin visible in my template files. The list goes on...
Good luck. You've got a lot of learning to do :)
