Ascent - Center for Technical Knowledge: Autodesk Inventor 2

Note: This book is a continuation of Autodesk Inventor 2017 (R1): Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 1.

The Autodesk Inventor 2017 (R1): Introduction to Solid Modeling student guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. You will learn the key skills and knowledge needed to design models using Autodesk Inventor, starting with conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.

Topics Covered in Part 2:

• Placing and constraining/connecting parts in assemblies
• Manipulating the display of components in an assembly
• Duplicating components in an assembly
• Obtaining model measurements and property information
• Creating Presentation files (Exploded views and Animations)
• Modifying and analyzing the components in an assembly
• Simulating motion in an assembly
• Creating parts and features in assemblies
• Creating and editing an assembly Bill of Materials
• Working with projects
• Creating and annotating drawings and views
• Customizing the Autodesk Inventor environment

Prerequisites
As an introductory training guide, Autodesk Inventor 2017 (R1): Introduction to Solid Modeling does not assume prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software. Students do need to be experienced with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.
