      Introduction

      Autodesk Inventor as a topic of learning is vast, and having a wide scope. It is package of many modules delivering a great value to enterprises. It offers a set of tools, which are easy-to-use to design, document and simulate 3D models. Using this software, you can speed up the design process and reduce the product development costs.

      This book provides a step-by-step approach for users to learn Autodesk Inventor. It is aimed for those with no previous experience with Inventor. However, users of previous versions of Inventor may also find this book useful for them to learn the new enhancements. The user will be guided from starting an Autodesk Inventor 2019 session to creating parts, assemblies, and drawings. Each chapter has components explained with the help of real world models.

      Scope of this book

      This book is written for students and engineers who are interested to learn Autodesk Inventor 2019 for designing mechanical components and assemblies, and then create drawings.

      This book provides a step-by-step approach for learning Autodesk Inventor 2019. The topics include Getting Started with Autodesk Inventor 2019, Basic Part Modeling, Creating Assemblies, Creating Drawings, Additional Modeling Tools, Sheet Metal Modeling, Assembly Tools, Dimensions and Annotations, and Model Based Dimensioning.

      Chapter 1 introduces Autodesk Inventor. The user interface and terminology are discussed in this chapter.

      Chapter 2 takes you through the creation of your first Inventor model. You create simple parts.

      Chapter 3 teaches you to create assemblies. It explains the Top-down and Bottom-up approaches for designing an assembly. You create an assembly using the Bottom-up approach.

      Chapter 4 teaches you to create drawings of the models created in the earlier chapters. You will also learn to place exploded views, and part list of an assembly.

      Chapter 5: In this chapter, you will learn the sketching tools.

      Chapter 6: In this chapter, you will learn additional modeling tools to create complex models.

      Chapter 7 introduces you to Sheet Metal modeling. You will create a sheet metal part using the tools available in the Sheet Metal environment.

      Chapter 8 teaches you create Top-down assemblies. It also introduces you create mechanisms by applying joints between the parts.

      Chapter 9: teaches you to apply dimensions and annotations to a 2D drawing.

      Chapter 10: teaches you to add 3D annotations and tolerances to a 3D model.

      Chapter 1: Getting Started with Autodesk Inventor 2019

      ––––––––

      This tutorial book brings in the most commonly used features of the Autodesk Inventor.

      In this chapter, you will:

      Understand the Inventor terminology

      Start a new file

      Understand the User Interface

      Understand different environments in Inventor

      In this chapter, you will learn some of the most commonly used features of Autodesk Inventor. In addition, you will learn about the user interface.

      In Autodesk Inventor, you create 3D parts and use them to create 2D drawings and 3D assemblies.

      Inventor is Feature Based. Features are shapes that are combined to build a part. You can modify these shapes individually.

      1.JPG

      Most of the features are sketch-based. A sketch is a 2D profile and can be extruded, revolved, or swept along a path to create features.

      2.JPG

      Inventor is parametric in nature. You can specify standard parameters between the elements. Changing these parameters changes the size and shape of the part. For example, see the design of the body of a flange before and after modifying the parameters of its features.

      Starting Autodesk Inventor

      Click the Windows icon on the taskbar.

      Click A > Autodesk Inventor 2019 > Autodesk Inventor 2019. 

      On the ribbon, click Get Started > Launch > New.

      On the Create New File dialog, click the Templates folder located at the top left corner. You can also select the Metric folder to view various metric templates.

      In the Part – Create 2D and 3D objects section, click the Standard.ipt icon.

      Click Create to start a new part file.

      Notice these important features of the Inventor window.

      User Interface

      Various components of the user interface are discussed next.

      Ribbon

      Ribbon is located at the top of the window. It consists of various tabs. When you click on a tab, a set of tools appear.  These tools are arranged in panels. You can select the required tool from this panel. The following sections explain the various tabs of the ribbon available in Autodesk Inventor.

      The Get Started ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab contains the tools such as New, Open, Projects and so on.

      The 3D Model ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab contains the tools to create 3D features, planes, surfaces, and so on.

      The View ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab contains the tools to modify the display of the model and user interface.

      The Inspect ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab has tools to measure the objects. It also has analysis tools to analyze the draft, curvature, surface and so on.

      Sketch ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab contains all the sketch tools.

      Assemble ribbon tab

      This ribbon tab contains the tools to create an assembly. It is available in an assembly file.

      Presentation ribbon tab

      This tab contains the tools to create the exploded views of an assembly. It also has the tools to create presentations, assembly instructions, and animation of an assembly.

      Drawing Environment ribbon tabs

      In the Drawing Environment, you
