Autodesk Electrical comes with our Inventor 2013 package. Which we have not used in three years, we do want to use some cable routing software. Question is: Should it be Mentor Graphics or Autodesk Electrical?

I have a solution for us. Our large assembly would crash every time anyone of us would check a drawing into the vault.
What I am wondering (because our tech support is coming to visit Friday) is anyone else having this problem with Inventor?

Does anyone use VB.Net to control anything in Inventor?
It takes a very long time to get any new software here at work. I am thinking of starting the purchasing process before we purchase our Inventor licenses.

We are going to switch to AutoCAD Inventor 2009 within the next couple of months. We have 1,000’s of SolidWorks 2009 Drawings that need to be converted to Inventor. Does anyone know when AutoCAD Inventor 2009 will be able to convert SolidWorks 2009 Drawings to Inventor 2009?
