This Autodesk Inventor training course provides an accelerated introduction to Autodesk Inventor. This content is designed for students who have experience in 3D modeling using other CAD software packages such as CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER®, Creo Parametric, NX™, or SolidWorks®. By using common modeling strategies, it aims to leverage your existing 3D modeling skills and facilitate a smooth transition to designing with Inventor.



The content includes hands-on practices to help you become familiar with Inventor's modeling tools. You will learn how to create models starting from conceptual sketches, progressing through solid modeling and assembly design, and culminating in the creation of detailed drawings.

Topics Covered in this Autodesk Inventor Training Course:

• The Autodesk Inventor software interface
• Obtaining model information
• Creating sketch and pick and place features
• Work features
• Creating equations and working with parameters
• Model geometry and model display manipulation
• Feature duplication techniques
• Placing and constraining parts in assemblies
• Assembly component display
• Assembly tools
• Creating parts and features in assemblies
• Creating and editing an assembly bill of materials
• Working with projects
• Creating and annotating drawings and views
• Creating presentation files (exploded views) (in optional appendix)

Prerequisites for this Autodesk Inventor training course:
Prior knowledge of 3D modeling and 3D CAD software. Students with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Mechanical experience are highly recommended to take the Autodesk Inventor: Introduction to Solid Modeling course.
