Converted user from Solid Edge to Inventor?

[PatCouture]

Hi!

I've been using Solid Edge for two and a half years now, and I must say that I'm very good with it. But the other day I received I job offer from a company who use Inventor. I know that Inventor is capable of doing a lot of things similar to SE but I would like to have some input from someone who actually worked with both softwares. Is the workflow very different? Is there important things missing in Inventor compared to SE. Or I will be able to do everything I was used to do. (Of course not in the exact same way but still...).

So before considering the job offer carefully I want to be sure that the software won't be a problem.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the "Just to let you know" subject a few lines down. There's quite a bit of discussion about the two.

The main difference between SE and IV is that SE allows you to work with open sketches/features. This doesn't work in IV. Personally I am a favourite of fully constrained and closed sketches anyway.

All other features are similar and with 2,5 years of experience you will intuitevely notice similarities
