Accelerated Productivity: An Interactive Tutorial for Autodesk Inventor Release 6 And 7

Accelerated Productivity is different than any book you’ve ever used. There is no text to read. Step-by-Step instruction is presented in short, fully animated movies that show and tell you how to use Autodesk Inventor Release 6&7. This format combines the best aspects of a book and a training seminar. You see and hear the lesson, as if you have your own personal expert sitting with you, and then have ample opportunity to practice what you have learned by building your own copy of the solid models used in the lessons. Yet, you control the pace just like reading a book. The lessons are also fully indexed so you can find the piece of information you need.

Instruction begins with the basic functions like the Quick Start Menu and builds to more advanced concepts of 3D part construction. Sketches and profiles are discussed in depth, as well as the appropriate application of these features. You’ll increase your productivity by learning how to fully constrain your parts so are easy to edit. Other time saving tools include projecting and mirroring geometry and linking Excel spreadsheets to control part geometry. You’ll also gain experience with powerful tools like loft, shell, rib and array, just to name a few. With over five hours of concentrated, project driven instruction, you’ll master the skills you need to create dynamic and highly functional single part solid models.
