Well Vuuch for Autodesk Inventor is right around the corner. We have a first version of the Vuuch for Inventor plug-in running and we are looking for people to give it a try and provide some feedback. If you are an Inventor user and want to try go to www.vuuch.com/download/inventor.
The initial functionality is limited:
- Currently you can only Vuuch the file. You cannot connect a Vuuch Activity to a selection in a file. For example in SolidWorks or PowerPoint a Vuuch activity can be related to a feature of the model or a slide in the presentation. This will be the next step in Inventor.
- Currently the Vuuch UI is a separate dialog window that pops up in front of the Inventor window. In our next release we will work the Vuuch panel into the Inventor UI.
- Currently you must work in the new ribbon mode. You cannot run in the “Classic” mode.
To see Vuuch running in Inventor check out this movie http://www.vuuch.com/files_for_download/vuuch_for_inventor.swf.
