The chapters in this text proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing basic shapes to making complete sets of engineering drawings. This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students and professionals.
By the end you will be fully prepared to take and pass the Autodesk Inventor Certified User Exam. Using step by step tutorials, this text will teach you how to create and read engineering drawings while becoming proficient at using the most common features of Autodesk Inventor. Submitted by Gary Bergero, MCAD Solutions Engineer, Hagerman & Company, Inc.Autodesk Inventor 2015 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach will teach you the principles of engineering graphics while instructing you on how to use the powerful 3D modeling capabilities of Autodesk Inventor 2015. This has long been a top request from users. You can quickly edit solids from other CAD packages without leaving the Inventor environment. You can right click this icon, and choose “Edit Feature” like a common feature in Inventor.ĭirect Edit is a game changer. When you complete a Direct Edit, the model browser updates to show a “DirectEdit1” icon. A triad displays on the model to define the rotation direction.Īs you can see, Inventor 2015 provides a quick way to edit imported solids without leaving the Inventor environment. Use the Geometry Type drop-down list to select the geometry type for rotating. The tools in the mini-toolbar will update to permit the rotation of geometry. In the mini-toolbar, you can also select the “rotate” tool. Once you are in the delete tool, the prompt is “Select faces to edit.” For example, it’s a great way to remove a hole feature from an imported model. The “delete” tool just works with a faces selection. “Offset” enables you to enter a distance value, “diameter” is used to change the size of cylindrical faces, and “radial” changes the size of radial faces. The choices are “offset, radius and diameter”. Depending on the selected reference, the modifier drop down list provides control over how the selected face is resized. The “size” tool allows you to resize a face. An XYZ triad allows you to relocate it with a coordinate. Using the “move” tool, you can quickly drag on a face to relocate it. The selection options are faces and solids.
Major tools, such as Move, Size, Rotate and Delete are activated in the top row of the mini-toolbar and the remaining tools update to support the selected editing type. When you choose Direct Edit, a mini-toolbar opens and provides access to the major Direct Edit tools. In Inventor 2015, you open an imported model and find Direct Edit on the 3D Model tab / Modify Panel. You no longer have to jump out to the Fusion environment. The Direct Edit capability sits right inside Inventor, allowing you to edit imported models without leaving the Inventor environment.
