First Edition
Daniel T. Banach
Travis Jones
Based on the latest version of the software, Autodesk Inventor
from the Top uses realistic examples, exercises, tutorials, plus
more than 500 screen captures to guide readers, step-by-step,
through basic sketching and solid modeling to the application of
more advanced modeling techniques.
Ideal for mechanical engineering professionals and students, this
how-to and reference manual begins with an overview of part
creation. Subsequent chapters, each building on information
presented previously, lead readers through the process of using
mission-critical Autodesk Inventor features and functions.
Users learn to sketch, constrain and dimension 3D drawings,
create and edit drawing views, and create assemblies and
sub-assemblies. A variety of time saving and productivity enhancing
advanced solid modeling techniques - such as derived parts and
assemblies plus mass property information for active and multiple
parts - are also explored in detail.
Comprehensive in scope, the final chapter provides opportunities
to gain valuable hands-on experience with additional Autodesk
Inventor functionality, including: transcripting, migrating,
importing other 3D file types, using the Design Assistant and
Engineer's Notebook, and more!
Benefits:
- Project files for tutorials and exercises are conveniently
included on the companion
CD-ROM, enabling even
first-time users to quickly acquire new Autodesk Inventor skills.
- Use of simple, straightforward data sets make examples that
introduce powerful Autodesk Inventor features and functions
extraordinarily clear to learn from.
- Modular sections allow users to readily locate examples and
exercises pertinent to particular tasks and refer to them when
working on their own top-down modeling projects.
- Extra practice exercises and review questions at the end of
each chapter build confidence while offering opportunities to put
new Autodesk Inventor skills to work.
- A handy glossary of Autodesk Inventor commands is included,
making this book ideal for users of all abilities and a "must" for
every engineering reference library.
