Product Description

AUTODESK INVENTOR 2017 CUSTOMIZE

Courseware Description
Students learn the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating
production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk Inventor. Hands-on exercises representing
real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.

Suggested Course Duration: 5 days

Objectives
The primary objective of this courseware is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principal
3D design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using Autodesk Inventor.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

Capture design intent by using 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.
Document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views.
Follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and
parts lists.
Sheet Metal Design
Be proficient in Animation.

Who Should Attend

This courseware is designed for new Autodesk Inventor users.

Prerequisites
No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, before using this courseware, the student should have a
working knowledge of the following:

Drafting, design, or mechanical engineering principles.

Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000.
