Inventor Advanced – Part Modelling

Autodesk Inventor Advanced Part Modelling training is the next level of the course after the Introduction to Solid Modelling training. The objective of the training is to build on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor Introduction to Solid Modelling training guide by taking students to a higher level of Productivity when designing part models using Autodesk Inventor.

In this training, the participant considers various approached to part design. Specific advanced part modelling techniques covered include multi-body design, advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, and surface modelling. Additional material aimed at increasing efficiency is also included: iFeatures for frequently needed design elements, iParts for similar designs, and translation options for importing data. The guide also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools such as custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts.
