Autodesk Inventor: A Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial Guide

Learn to create a 2D sketch on the XY plane, extrude it to a 3D model by five units, and generate orthographic and isometric drawing views.

Create a solid model by sketching on the yz plane, extruding the sketch by ten units, and generating orthographic and isometric drawing views.

Draw and fully define a sketch on the XY plane, extrude it by 20 units, and generate orthographic and isometric drawing views for a complete Autodesk Inventor model.

Revolve a 2D sketch to form a 3D model and generate a drawing with orthographic and isometric views, using metric templates and dynamic input.

Create and constrain a 2D sketch of the model, dimension the outer loop and apply equal, perpendicular, horizontal, and tangent constraints to fully define the sketch.

Create a revolved model from a sketch by applying constraints and dimensions, then switch to perspective view, and finally save and close the file.

Start a new metric part, set millimeter units, and extrude a sketch to ten millimeters. Cast the x ray ground shadow, object shadow, and ambient shadow, then save the model.

Explore creating metric standard part text in Autodesk Inventor: sketch two-line text, extrude to 2.5 mm, apply a sketch illustration visual style, and save the file.

Design a bracket by sketching on the yz plane, extruding 72 mm, then creating front, left, and top cuts, including a through-hole, and saving the file.

Create a fixture base in Autodesk Inventor, define sketches on multiple planes, extrude features, add fillets and counterbores, design a rib, apply a yellow color, and save the model.

Create a pivot base in Autodesk Inventor by sketching, extruding, adding join and cut features, adding ribs and a repeater, applying zinc chromate style, and saving the model.

Model a bottle in Autodesk Inventor by sketching, revolving, and defining a 1 mm wall thickness; emboss text on the upper face and wrap an image with the decal tool.

Create a gear shifter link model in Autodesk Inventor by building base and curve features, applying joins and cuts, adding fillets, slots, and 2.5 mm hole, and save as 3072201.

Create a base feature and cut, then form a cylindrical join and apply right-handed nc metric threads, designation m14 by two, six-g class, with proper chamfer and fillets.

Create a slotted mount in autodesk inventor by building a base feature, adding slot and hole cuts, applying a one-degree face draft, and finishing with fillets before saving.

Create the butterfly valve assembly by placing the body, shaft, retainer, arm, plate, screws, parallel key, and nut, then apply constraints to align components.

Create and assemble the plumber block components in Autodesk Inventor by placing parts, applying constraints, and saving the final assembly.

Create the anti-vibration mount assembly by placing body bushing rubber, yoke plate, hex bolt, and nut, then apply insert and angle constraints to achieve a 0 to 45 degree range.

Analyze interference in the butterfly valve assembly, delete the last two screw instances, and pattern the remaining screw using the associated hole.

download the drill press files assembly, analyze interference between base and components, then drive the constraint between clamping screw and movable jaw to simulate two motion cycles.
