The document compares AutoCAD and Inventor, summarizing their key differences: - Inventor uses "dimension-driven design" where changing dimensions updates the model, while AutoCAD uses "geometry-driven design" where dimensions update after geometry changes. - Inventor is a feature-based parametric modeler, while AutoCAD uses command lines. - Inventor supports adaptivity and was designed for manufacturing, while AutoCAD uses layers and was designed for general use.

3. Modelador Paramétrico
In AutoCAD, We create our geometry and then place our dimensions. If
we make changes to the existing geometry, the associated dimensions
update. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change the value of the
dimension and drive the shape and size of the part?
In Autodesk, You roughly sketch the part you want to create, and then
you control the exact size and shape of the part with dimensions.
Imagine how easy it would be to make changes to your part later by
simply changing the dimension values.
Why does Autodesk Inventor work this way and AutoCAD does not?
Autodesk Inventor has the added intelligence of being a parametric
modeler.

4. Modelador Paramétrico
Un modelador paramétrico permite modelar la geometría, dimensión y
material de manera que si se alteran las dimensiones, la geometría
actualiza automáticamente basándose en las nuevas dimensiones.
Esto permite que el diseñador almacene sus conocimientos de cálculo
dentro del modelo, a diferencia del modelado no paramétrico, que está
más relacionado con un “tablero de bocetos digitales”.

5. Modelador basado en Funciones
As you create your 3D parts, each extrusion,
hole, chamfer, fillet, and so forth, is stored as an
independent feature in the Autodesk Inventor
browser. This makes it extremely easy to make
changes down the road. If you decide that hole
should have been 10 mm instead of 12 mm, it’s
not a problem to make the change.
In AutoCAD we often find ourselves deleting
and re-creating a specific feature. Such changes
in Autodesk Inventor are as easy as changing
the dimension value.

6. Software Adaptativo
One of the features that separates Autodesk Inventor from other 3D
modelers is the ability to create adaptive parts. These smart parts
maintain a physical relationship so that if you modify the geometry of
the base part, the adaptive geometry knows to update as well. This
could be as simple as creating a hole that adapts to the size of a rod.
As you change the size of the rod, the hole gets larger or smaller to
accommodate the new diameter of the rod.
