hello to all, I introduce myself in this interesting discussion.
I am a cad designer of a company of industrial plants. the carpenters we design are always accessory to our plant or our single equipment.
I wanted to know from you if you please knew of a 3d carpentry design program (also working on autocad platform). in my company we use inventor with little difficulty. In my opinion because inventor with the "series" goats has nothing to do with it.
However I would be curious to know if you know an Italian program to recommend me, because I think that with the needs that you have today in the design it is indispensable to interface with who the software develops it and not with who sells it or with authorized experts. I think we designers need to interface directly with software developers!

... in this interesting discussion.

Unfortunately, since some companies' commercial outlets have been intrusive, dealing for users, in an attempt to combine people, this discussion seems to me to have expired a lot.it would be preferable that certain pseudo companies worked to offer a worthy product, instead of devoting themselves to incorrect business practices.

...you know an Italian program to recommend

you will find a wide discussion on the topic, in the first pages of this discussion. Bye.

if you have to interface with other traditional cad tools I would let you miss the carpentry packages. are very powerful but you would find yourself having 2 incompatible products that cannot communicate with each other. inventor is the worst of the midrange cad for carpentry, the chassis generator is worth. in my opinion you could switch to solidwrks or create with efx. the second is more expensive because you have to buy 2 separate licenses. the advantage of creating, however, is that if you purchase 3 licenses foundation + 1 efx you can install all packages on all machines and take from the license server only what you are using. If the carpentry does not continuously you can save a little and have enough licenses. Moreover the efx package of creo is more performing than the welding module of solidworks because it also manages the welded joints. Alternatively you can also evaluate external applications for solidworks like steelworks, but when I rated it it was great as modeling but had several shortcomings (it was still too young, now I don't know how it goes).
eye also to maintenance costs, I create so configured costs a little more and ptc policy is less on the end user side than swx. Maybe try searching on the net for some efx videos and see if that's enough.
