AutoCAD Training Overview
This course introduces the concepts and techniques of 3D modeling with Autodesk Inventor. As an introductory class, it does not assume prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software. Students do need to be experienced with the Windows operating system. Also, some background with drafting of 3D parts (such as orthographic projections, sections, and exploded views) is recommended.
AutoCAD Training Topics
- The Inventor interface
- Creating 2D sketches with basic Sketch drawing and editing tools
- Constraining and dimensioning sketches
- Generating 3D parts from sketches
- Part modeling, adding and editing 3D features
- Placing and constraining parts in assemblies
- Drawing setup and creating drawing views
- Dimensions and other annotation in drawings
