Yup, using Inventor 2009 pro for the mods on beta. Works very nicely on a basic nVidia 7900 GS graphics card. 2GB of RAM is fine for most things.

The Pro version of 2009 has the wiring and all the Design Accelerators built in. Great help for designing the belt drive for the sucker - driven by two Scorpion HK4025 brushless motors ~2.5 kwatts each:

I thought drawing the wiring was a bit OTT at first, but its actually very useful being able to lay things out and figure out how the wires need to be routed.
