About this Course

The goal of this Autodesk Inventor training course is to build on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling training guide by taking students to a higher level of productivity when designing part models using the Autodesk Inventor software.

In this training course, the student considers various approaches to part design. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include multi-body design, advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, surface modeling, and Freeform modeling. Material aimed at increasing efficiency includes: iFeatures for frequently used design elements, iParts for similar designs, and how to work with imported data. The guide also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools such as custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts.

The major topics covered in this Autodesk Inventor training course are:

• Advanced model appearance options
  
• 2D and 3D sketching techniques
  
• Multi-body part modeling
  
• Advanced geometry creation tools (work features, area lofts, sweeps, and coils)
  
• Analysis tools
  
• Creating and editing basic surfaces, importing surfaces, and surface repair tools
  
• iFeatures and iParts
  
• Importing data from other CAD systems and making edits.
  
• Working with AutoCAD DWG files.
  
• Freeform modeling
  
• Emboss and Decal features
  
• Advanced Drawing tools (iPart tables, surfaces in drawing views, and custom sketched symbols)
  
• Adding notes with the Engineer’s Notebook
