Autodesk Inventor Essentials

Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included. The primary objective of this course is to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the principal 3D design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using Autodesk Inventor. Document designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views, Document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views and finally follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists.
