Inventor 2012: News Overkill :)

Seit heute über die neuen 2012er Produkte berichtet werden darf, ist ein wahres “Informationsinferno” über die CAD Welt herein gebrochen. Ich habe (und werden) meinen Teil dazu beitragen ;)

Wichtig für bestehende Inventor Simulation, Routed Systems und Tooling Kunden: Diese Produkte wird es nicht mehr einzeln geben, sondern nur noch zusammen in Inventor Professional. Wer als z.B. Inventor Simulation 2011 mit Subscription hat, der bekommt die Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2012 die neben Inventor Professional, ACADM und Vault nun auch Alias Design, 3ds Max, Showcase, Sketchbook und Mudbox enthält und auf eine USB Stick ausgeliefert wird. (siehe auch meine Post von heute morgen)

Hier ein paar weitere Infos aus anderen Quellen:

ReadMe Datei zu Inventor 2012

Interessant z.B. die Infos zur Installation, vor der Installation also bitte lesen!

• .NET 4.0 is required for the installation of Inventor 2012. Please verify that .NET 4.0 is installed before you start to install or deploy Inventor. If it is not installed the installer can be found on the source media under "…\3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe".
• If you want to install Autodesk Fusion 2012 with Autodesk Inventor 2012, we recommend that you also install Autodesk Fusion 2012 Service Pack 1. On the Autodesk Inventor 2012 Install - Configure page, click the small down arrow to expand the Autodesk Fusion 2012 configuration section, and then select the service pack along with other configuration options.
• Please update your operating system before you install Autodesk Inventor 2012. Reboot your system after all security updates, and so on, are installed.
• If you find some products cannot be selected to install, you can put the mouse on the red "prohibited" circle in front of the product to get more information.
• If you are running Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit, verify that you have the Microsoft fix for user mode callback exceptions KB976038. This fix ensures that Autodesk receives the correct data from Inventor error reports. For more information, and access to this and related Microsoft downloads, refer to Autodesk Technical Solution 15492718.
• The Help installed with Autodesk Inventor 2012 contains a subset of the full Help. The subset includes What's New topics, Tutorials, Tooltips/Toolclips and Reference topics. You can access and download the online Full Help (http://www.autodesk.com/inventor-help-download) and tutorial data sets (http://www.autodesk.com/inventor-tutorial-data-sets).
• When you browse a downloaded language as an Inventor language, select the language that matches the language of the local, or English machine. Also, make sure all of the products you plan to install or deploy are of the same language.
• After you finish a silent deployment installation, reboot the computer before you launch Inventor. If the version of MSI of your operating system is lower than 4.0, the operating system reboots automatically after the silent deployment install finishes.
• If you download the source files to a local folder with a name that contains non-English characters, make sure that the language in Regional Settings is consistent with the language name of the local folder.
• If you install Autodesk Design Review 2012, it automatically uninstalls your installed Autodesk Design Review 2011.
• If you installed the Medium image library 2012 previously, the Suite Uninstaller Tool also lists it out. Remember this behavior when you use the Suite Uninstaller Tool to uninstall Inventor 2012.
• Verify that the deployment log file path does not include non-English characters.
• Verify that the deployment image path is less than 65 characters.
• Non-silent deployment install sometimes takes a long time to initialize. During initializing, the installer UI sometimes disappears for a while.
• When you modify deployment on Windows XP operating systems, please make sure the version of MSI is higher than 4.0. Otherwise, installer encounters an error.
• Close all Autodesk applications before installation, maintenance, or uninstalling of the software.
