Autodesk Inventor Essentials

This course covers the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk Inventor. Delegates learn how to capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts; creating, placing, and constraining custom and standard components in an assembly; and simulating mechanisms, animating assembly designs, and checking for interferences. Delegates also learn how to document their designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views; document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views; and follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.
