Mechanical Design: An Interactive Tutorial for Autodesk Inventor Release 6 And 7

Gain professional Autodesk Inventor skills! Autodesk Inventor is easy to learn when you use the Mechanical Design course. It’s different than any book you’ve ever used, because there is no text. Step-by-Step instruction is presented in short, fully animated movies that show and tell you how to become a professional solid modeler. This format combines the best aspects of a book and hands-on training. You see and hear the lessons, as if you have your own personal expert sitting with you, and it’s fully indexed so you can always find the information you need.

Mechanical Design is focused on creating 2D drawings, and using Autodesk Inventor in an assembly environment. You’ll learn how to create 2D drawings faster than you can with AutoCAD, and customize your drawing and drafting standards. In the 3D assembly environment, you’ll learn to increase the "WOW" factor of your presentations by creating adaptive parts and sub-assemblies and animating those assemblies. You’ll save time by generating bill of materials and parts lists directly from the assembly environment. Some of the powerful tools you’ll learn to employ include, using content libraries to insert stock parts, and creating iPart Factories to automatically generate custom and standard iParts. With over 6 hours of concentrated, productivity-driven instruction, you’ll master the skills you need to create dynamic and highly functional 3D assembly files and 2D drawings.
