AutoCAD Training Overview
Autodesk Inventor 2010 Advanced Part Modeling is the second in a series of courses on Inventor from ASCENT. The goal of this class is to build on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling course by taking students to a higher level of productivity when designing part models in Inventor. In addition, students will learn about various drawing tools.
In this course, we consider various approaches to part design and emphasize useful strategies. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include multi-body design, advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, and surface modeling. Additional material aimed at increasing efficiency is also included: iFeatures for frequently needed design elements, iParts for similar designs, translation options for importing data, and the Engineer’s Notebook for communicating information. The course also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools such as custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts. With an understanding of these tools, students can begin to streamline the design and documentation process.
AutoCAD Training Topics
- 2D and 3D sketching techniques
- Advanced geometry creation tools (centerline and area lofts, sweeps, coils)
- Analysis tools
- Creating and editing basic surfaces
- Importing surfaces & surface repair tools
- Using iFeatures and iParts to work efficiently with part models
- Advanced Drawing tools (hole tables, revision tables and tags, tables for iParts, surfaces in drawing views, custom sketched symbols)
- Importing and exporting data
- Adding notes with the Engineer’s Notebook
AutoCAD Training Prerequisites
The class assumes a mastery of Inventor basics as taught in Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling. Students should know how to create and edit parts, use work features, and create and annotate drawing views, etc
