![]() ![]() Autodesk wants to quit production of Mechanical Desktop and get us all on Inventor, but we love our Desktop too much. Industry isn’t ready to switch over to Inventor no matter how hard Autodesk pushes. It’s unfortunate to see all the capability lost in appealing to the lowest denominators of industry. Most industry also keeps the standard AutoCad for drafting. Here at work we just use regular AutoCad for the streamlined simplicity and commonality though. There’s more to learn and it’s a much more powerful tool. ![]() If I were you I’d play around with the Desktop. There weren’t that many changes from 2004 until now (v2006). Also Desktop has some great features for detailing and drawing setup. Then formost it lets you constrain your detail and use parametric dimensioning. It allows much more capability in modeling that regular AutoCad can’t do. ![]() If you want to use all the extra features Desktop has then I’d stick with the 2004 installation.ĭesktop comes with lots of 3d hardware, it does some FEA analysis. So you’ve really got 3 different things there. So the Desktop package won’t carry up to the 2005 installation. ![]() Then you apparently also installed AutoCad 2005. So when you installed the 2004 Desktop - you installed AutoCad 2004 with the Mechanical Desktop add on package. Think of Mechanical Desktop as a parametric add on package to regular AutoCad. ![]()
