Starting with ACAD 2004, Autodesk will not upgrade MDT. Your choices are mechanical 2004 (2D)and inventor (3D). I have MDT on my personal system and it has several limitions in regards to building 3D models from sketches especially when building gears. For example, I have to build one tooth on the 3D circle and extrude it and use polar 3D array. In ACAD, I build the whole gear and extrude.

Hope this helps,
John
 
Dear iraniii,
Why do you like to continue with MDT?
If you know parametric design basics, you can easily switch on another modeling software.
