Summary: Provide Inventor with sketching tools like those in AutoCAD; Ortho, Osnaps, Stretch, etc.
Description: Though a powerful modelling program, Inventor sketching (especially 3D sketching) could be improved by working more like AutoCAD. For example; there should be an Ortho option to lock lines parallel with X,Y&Z axes, with parallel constraints added automatically. Picking a point and entering the lines opposite end X,Y,Z point is a pretty primative way to sketch. Why is Inventor so limited in its options? Running Osnaps, Ortho, Point Filters, etc. make creating 2D and 3D linework in AutoCAD easy and intuitive. Inventor sketching should be as full-featured.
