Inventor R10 Advanced Modeling
AutoCAD Training Overview

Inventor Advanced Modeling is the third 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 and Inventor Intermediate Modeling courses to take students to a higher level of productivity in Inventor.

In this course, we consider surfacing modeling techniques, as well as how to effectively present and manage Inventor models. Surfacing techniques covered here include all the surfacing creation tools as well as how to import surfaces from another format. We also describe Inventor's presentation and reporting tools, including advanced presentation file tools, assembly bill of materials, hole tables, and Inventor Studio. The analysis of a model and the management of styles is presented through the use of measurement tools, analysis tools, and style management tools.
