Autodesk Inventor 2021 / 2022 - Advanced Drawing Training

Learn to create an overlay view in Inventor to show multiple positions of a component in a drawing by configuring base views, position representations, and overlay as parts.

Create draft views directly in a drawing without a 3D file using the Draft view tool from the Place Views panel; sketch, set view identifier and scale, and annotate.

Learn to create broken views in an Autodesk Inventor drawing by using the Break tool, including choosing structural style, horizontal orientation, adjusting gaps, and fitting views.

Learn to create break out views in Autodesk Inventor by attaching a sketch to a base view and applying depth from a point, then project an isometric view.

Explore depth options in the Break Out View tool, including from point, to sketch, to hole, and through part, to control cuts on parts and assemblies.

Learn to use the select all parts option in the break out view tool, including section all parts and section participation, to exclude a shaft in a dependent view.

Master Autodesk Inventor 2021/2022 advanced drawing techniques by creating crop views with the crop tool, choosing rectangular or circular profiles, displaying crop lines, and editing or deleting crops.

Break and restore alignment between views in Inventor, including base, right, top, and isometric views. Use the break alignment tool and in position alignment to control how views move together.

Learn to control and customize hatch in section views by hiding or showing hatch, adjusting pattern, angle, scale, and color, and applying by material with styles editor.

Rotate a drawing view in Autodesk Inventor by right-clicking and choosing rotate, then select edge, horizontal or vertical alignment, and anticlockwise or clockwise direction, including absolute and relative angles.

Apply ordinate dimensions using the ordinate dimension tool and ordinate set tool in Autodesk Inventor, defining origin and orientation, selecting sketch entities, and arranging dimensions for clear, accurate drawings.

Add a dimension at the theoretical intersection between two lines by activating the dimension tool and selecting the intersection points.

Retrieve model dimensions from a 3D Inventor model into a drawing file using the retrieve model annotations tool, and understand base view versus right side view and driven dimensions.

In Autodesk Inventor, distinguish model dimensions that drive the 3D model from drawing dimensions in the drawing file, and recognize that embedding model dimensions in drawings is not standard practice.

Learn to modify dimension annotation in Autodesk Inventor, including arrowhead placement outside lines, leaders for tight spaces, text and symbols, precision up to four decimals, and tolerance and inspection dimensions.

Dimension a spline in Autodesk Inventor using the general dimension tool with snap settings to pick min/max points; add multi-dimensions and move them with the green handle.

Learn to add dimensions in an isometric view with the general dimension tool and hole/center-mark options, using spacebar to cycle orientations.

Filter model and drawing dimensions in busy Autodesk Inventor drawings using the filter options and quick access toolbar to selectively include model dimensions or overridden dimensions.

Learn advanced dimension types in Autodesk Inventor by using the dimension tool to create aligned, horizontal, vertical, or rotated dimensions, with diameter, parallel, or angle options.

Learn to add a chamfer note in a drawing by activating the chamfer note tool in the annotate tab and selecting edges to define a 2.75 x 40 degree chamfer.

Apply the balloon tool from annotate table panel to manually add balloons, create multi-leader lines, align them, and attach balloons from list while managing ITEM numbers in the BOM.

Learn to add a center of gravity in a drawing view using the model browser, activate it per view, dimension from it, and delete it and its dimensions as needed.

Add automated centerlines and centermarks using the annotation tab, selecting views and projection options for holes, cylindrical features, patterns, sketch geometry, and sheetmetal bends.

Learn to add a Part List with the Parts List tool in Inventor, configure BOM settings for structured or parts-only views, and attach the table to a drawing view.

Create a parts list from a drawing, place and format the BOM, then export to Excel, CSV, or text; split, rotate, and unsplit tables with right-click, and undo with ctrl+z.

Learn to customize a parts list in Inventor by adjusting the table layout, including title, text styles, and heading position. Place the BOM and start item numbers from the bottom.

Learn how to add an extra column to a hole table, display the alternate dimension in metric units, and customize formatting, units, and a custom property.

Learn to add a revision table and revision tag to a drawing. Use annotate, table, revision, and revision tag tools, choose entire drawing or a sheet, and enable auto-index.

Learn to add and customize a general table in a drawing, including setting columns and data rows, formatting, inserting and deleting rows, sorting, exporting, and linking external Excel data.

Explore drawing resources in a new Inventor drawing, including sheet formats, borders, and title blocks, and learn to manage sheets and insert resources from the drawing resource folder.

Create and modify sheet formats in Autodesk Inventor, configuring sheet size, orientation, and the border and title block from drawing resources. Save custom formats and add views.

Create and customize drawing borders in Autodesk Inventor by defining new borders or zone borders, control horizontal and vertical zones, labels, margins, and insert borders into sheets.

Create and edit title blocks by defining a block zone, saving and inserting blocks, and applying dimensions, constraints, and custom properties to display part names and the drawing number.

Create, edit, and insert a sketch symbol in the drawing sheet. Define a new symbol, save it, and adjust scale, rotation, leader, and static option.
