I get quite a few questions from unhappy AutoCAD users trying to transition to Inventor. The thing is, if you're used to AutoCAD it's so seamless and fast that moving to a parametric modeller, which is more sort of rigid in the process of modeling a solid, will feel very very annoying. Until you get used to the tools and how to use them. 

"In AutoCAD it's easy for me to move a face, and replace it. How can I do that with Inventor? It doesn't seem that there's an easy way to, for example, adjust a face around an axis or plane, or a point. Can you let me know how to do it?"

Make sure you pull up the Modify panel; that's where the Move Faces tool is located.  

Here's a link to the AutoDesk Inventor Tutorials: How to Move Faces on youtube:
