What's New with Inventor 2013?

My new updates course, What's New with Inventor 2013, is finally out! My apologies for the delay; my kids were actually pretty sick for a couple weeks and hence the release schedule got pushed back.  The course is 50 minutes long and consists of 40 videos; it's bundled with my Inventor 2013 Video Library, now 21+ hours.  

As you know, the big CAD software companies have been issuing annual updates to their products since about 2009. This is their way of cashing in on annual subscription revenue, but usually there is not a whole bunch of significant changes. Improvements to tools, to data management, and some cosmetic modernization, but Inventor 2010 is pretty similar to Inventor 2013.

Quite a few of the Inventor 2013 updates consist of applying some of the enhanced drawing capabilities of AutoCAD to Inventor. Eg, the three point rectangle and primitives. Some of the enhancements, like the use of equation curves, allow for the rapid creation of fairly complex geometry using trigonometric and calculus formulas.
