Inventor and Its Applications 2009

Inventor and Its Applications describes the steps for creating sketches, models, and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor® Professional 2009. The text teaches students how to develop and control sketches with constraints and dimensions. Once these skills are mastered, students use the sketches to build models of varying complexity, then add features and create assemblies. The text also introduces the development of drawings and presentations.

Inventor and Its Applications provides basic skills that will help learners excel in a career in drafting, design, or engineering. Hands-on exercises are provided at key points in each chapter to help students develop skills. Problems at the end of each chapter reinforce the use of skills learned. The accompanying student Web site includes chapter exercises, chapter tests, supplementary material, and links to other informative Web sites.
