Description
Ever wondered why Inventor software works the way it does? Ever had a question about a specific workflow or piece of functionality? Now is your chance to interact with a senior developer (or more) of the Inventor product staff. Ask them why, how, or if, about any aspect of Inventor. Receive technical explanations to your questions that may help you find another way to accomplish your task or understand the reasons for the current functionality. Explain your point of view directly to the people who make Inventor work and implement changes. This will be an honest two-way communication on the hows and whys of Inventor workflows and technical details. We don't just tell you “no” or “yes”; we tell you “why” to the best of our ability.
Key Learnings
- Gain a better understanding of the inner workings of Inventor.
- Discover the development process of Inventor.
- Get answers to specific questions.
- Interact directly with Inventor developers and other staff.
