Autodesk Inventor Essentials

Summary
Although this courseware is designed for instructor-led courses, you can also use it for self-paced learning. The courseware encourages self-learning through the use of the Autodesk® Inventor™ 2008 Help system. This courseware is complementary to the software documentation. For detailed explanations of features and functionality, refer to the Help system in the software. 

Course Objectives 
After completing this course, you will be able to:
? Capture design intent by learning the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts.
? Create, place, and constrain custom and standard components in an assembly, simulate mechanisms, animate assembly designs, and check for interferences.
? Document designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views, and document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views.
? Follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with centerlines, symbols, leaders, hole and thread notes, hole tables, automated balloons, and parts lists. 
 

Prerequisites 
This course is designed for new Autodesk Inventor users who want to learn the essential tools and principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and how to create production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk Inventor.
It is recommended that you have:
? A basic understanding of mechanical drafting or design.
? A working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Microsoft® Windows® XP.
