Fiberglass impregnated carpet tape is the easiest hold-down method. I like Ace Hardware's Indoor/Outdoor (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1285923&kw=carpet+tape&origkw=carpet+tape&searchId=58021437053)

You can design in Inventor & export 2D vectors in DXF R12/R14 format, then import into PartWorks2D. You can export 3D content as an STL mesh and import into PartWorks3D. It is important that you understand the differences between these 2 programs.
