2D Sketch Constraints, A Beginners Guide | Inventor & Fusion 360

[@Neil3D]

Dear all!! - if you're looking for a good computer to run Inventor, you may then be interested to know that I have now developed and released the worlds most comprehensive FREE benchmarking test for Autodesk Inventor with a global online leaderboard. See the announcement video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpTOZJ-sqrKFoK8 and check out the leaderboard here invmark.cadac.com/#/ =========== You lot kill me, I completely forgot about and missed G2 Smooth, realised my omission during editing, decided it's probably just as well as it's too advanced to be on a beginners vid, roll with it, and then that's the first thing that gets picked up on!! Ha. I'll do a dedicated G2 Smooth vid separate to this one :)

[@tia-8802]

Why is it called G2?

[@jazzGT]

It's a condition of mathematical continuity of a function. G2 implies that the two lines touch at a point, have the same first derivative at that point, does the same slope and have also the same second derivative... that is... the same curvature... hence that's why you call it G2... Check out this link: docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/popup_moreinformation/continuity_descriptions.htm

[@storm8986]

don't care it's been 4 years, u helped me more than you can imagine friend.

[@follyroger]

This is the way tutorials should be taught. Perfect!! Loved the accent too. Might try to figure out how to get your voice on my GPS

[@christopherreynolds826]

Thank you sooo much for your explanations. You're the first channel who explains WHY some things are better then others and how they relate in space. Please never stop doing this!

[@393strokedcoupe]

You Sir, are a natural teacher. This is a talent that doesn't come easily to too many people in the business of education! Thank you! 👏

[@mvdmusicvideostorefreshthe3224]

Teachers can know their subject but teaching is a skill that not many have, but this guy does.

[@mvdmusicvideostorefreshthe3224]

Constraints have been a black art, but you have done a great job especially explaining 'Design Intent' another phrase that I never fully understood, but you explained it via AutoCAD. Top class teacher, thank you.

[@riri8264]

Not even an Inventor user but I like your teaching style Sir. Thank you for sharing these videos. Salutations from France.

[@alexisfernandez8998]

Amazing delivery. So much better than Autodesk's tutorials.. great job mate!

[@robbbarrett6430]

Autodesk I hope your watching. Tutorials .this is how you do it ... short and sweat. bite size .

[@rootjacek]

Kolego jesteś geniuszem prostoty i finezji w jednym. Dzięki za ten filmik - powinien się nazywać "Inventor poradnik dla opornych". Genialne !!!!!!. Lepszego kursu jeszcze nie widziałem - pozdrawiam. Buddy, you're a genius of simplicity and finesse in one. Thanks for this video - should be called for a "Inventor guide for resistant to knowledge". Brilliant !!!!!!. I have not seen a better course yet - best regards

[@DevineIshaq107]

Learner oriented lecture , with dynamic flow of knowledge, it took 3 hours in all to learn constraints while doing practise and now things will be easier while making a 2d and 3d God bless. thanks

[@shannahbrown]

Love they way you explain things! Makes it easy to understand and remember.

[@RoRockerB]

Sweet! Thanks!! Straight to the point with direct applications with no added fluff! Thank you thank you thank you sir!

[@JayGee6996]

This should be CAD lesson No1. Excellent tutorial 👌

[@griff4455]

Haha 1 minute in and I already love you. The 'secret club' thing was so relatable to me xD

[@anthonygarcia1762]

Way more helpful than my college professor. Thanks

[@JJ79ty]

You are the best. Next week I'm starting course of Inventor. And thanks to you I won't feel like amatour there :) Once again thank you!

[@hmaan675]

Best videos with a passionate teacher.You beat all in clarity. You focus on features and techniques which actually come handy..Thanks

[@diegoeduardoorregohidalgo8209]

Thank you !!! I was looking for a tutorial like this like forever, you have made my day sir

[@InterLary]

Lolll you are funny but in the same time you are teaching us in a very and unforgettable way. Thank you :)

[@adilmalik7066]

excellent video! As a beginner from a non CADee background i found that merely howering over the unlabelled buttons is super helpfull as you get pop outs explaining the function

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Thanks for all your excellent videos, you've helped to get me going in inventor, and that is saying something!

[@octarapribadi]

I'm struggle to learn inventor and this video help alot, thank you.

[@BoldUniverse]

I appreciate your vids and find I'm getting a lot out of them. Cheers :-)

[@РођакНенад]

Many thanks for the concise explanations, quick and with examples, great video!

[@TonyRios]

Thanks, I wish I would have watched this sooner. But it's never too late.

[@aleksanderandersson]

Thank you very much for making this, its brilliant!

[@RodGriTV]

Hey TFI, I just started your tutorials and in need to say that you are great men. I will go ahead to the first one how to learn inventor in one hour. Thank you for using your time to teach us. 👍🏼

[@carlosalvarez8076]

Good video Neil, a good way to use the constrains quickly is pressing Ctrl button and then right click in sketch environment, that show you all the constrains with their names. I just discover by accident and now I can't design whiteout using it (the quick access, not the constrains).

[@travezripley]

Thank you for this, shared the link with my coworkers learning to model.

[@Uthael_Kileanea]

15:08 - about the center dot of the sketch... I like to think about it as the reference point, not a center point. For this example, let's say that this is a jigsaw puzzle piece. I'd probably constrain that point to the center of one of the circles. So, when I insert it into a hole in an assembly, it fits even before any constraints are applied. This allows for a preliminary glance at how it would fit and sometimes even saves me a move command or two.

[@brennerfab770]

Another piece of the puzzle. Great explanation!! Thanks!!!

[@kersamjernezian]

Very njce explanation. I NEEDED this lesson.. And you are funny 😄

[@varghesechacko2349]

Thank you so much for your Grate explanation !

[@naeemurrahman8767]

Should have watched it much earlier but at least I've watched it today. Thanks a lot 👍

[@anisbizertino1]

Thank you very much, you earn a new subscriber🤗

[@quyethuynh4967]

I love this video! Holy this video would of help a lot if I saw this video before my project was assigned. XD

[@lookyloo777]

awesome,your really making this enjoyable for us beginners ,Thank you !

[@woodbay8209]

Thank you for this. I have a much understanding of it now. Cheers!

[@f.k.6151]

Fantastic tutorial, Sir, thank you.

[@yongchunseow9455]

Thank you so much for this awesome video!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ronaldoaymanoo]

Excellent video !!

[@bccphotodesign4398]

I can't thank you enough for this good lesson.

[@michaelkleanthous8141]

Very nice and precise edjucational video's well done. keep up the good work and thank you very much.

[@HDLowrider03]

Thanks for the videos bud, they are very helpful.

[@inventorautomation1395]

Way better than my Inventor videos 😅

[@pascutioan]

Great video, love the accent! Thanks!

[@Zamir321]

i learn more from your videos than in school Thanks.. Could you make more tutorials in fusion 360?

[@handsoapshitmada7590]

We saw this in school it was very interesting

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

My god, is that really your name?

[@jazzGT]

Excellent video. Could you possibly make a video about constraining 2D sketches with splines? And how to properly draw and manipulate them? Thanks.

[@kamilwawer9949]

Yes, that's right! Could you develop what's the smooth constrain and what are the rules of using it?

[@Neil3D]

Yep i'll do a dedicated vid on G2. If someone is an absolute beginner, no way are they going to remember or understand what was explained about G2 so its one for its own vid.

[@SenakaUdapitiya1]

Thanks for this video ,really helpful video ,

[@luismdoz]

Could you do a video on detailing drawings. Like coloring layers and having more options once they are exported in .dwg I just convinced another subscriber, an engineering student in the USA from Newcastle. I'm sure he would try to get in touch. Cheers!

[@danieltaon7333]

you are freakin good teacher, bless you

[@nanoprehistoric]

Thank you very much, you earn a new subscriber ;)

[@boblombardi9397]

excellent video as always............Thanks much

[@oralbrown7394]

Hi there. What is the equivalent of cordial constraint in inventor.

[@VertikalDesign]

what a great tutorial. thanks!

[@salahal-khafajy6443]

This is great, Thanks a lot ! :)

[@ivanb8391]

Very very helpful!!

[@Zuurik_x]

Why did you not show smooth (G2), or is this last constraint to advanced :D, but great video,, keep it up.

[@Neil3D]

The diplomatic answer is that indeed it's a little too much for a beginners intro to be covering G2, the actual real answer is that I totally forgot about it when I was looking down the list of constraints and missed it! I remembered about it whilst rendering the vid, and decided to roll with it. I'll probs cover it in a dedicated vid.

[@jeff503pdx]

How do you move the lines around so quickly? I only know the slow way buy clicking the MOVE command then BASE POINT. thx.

[@hunhs]

Hello, have you done videos about CAD mice/trackballs, equipment or something that makes work/workflow faster?

[@tatendakuodza]

"And not matter what happens in the life of that line, it will always be horizontal" hahahaha Great tutorial

[@kmutech718]

very use full tutorial thanks

[@arunraj_r]

While using move tool in sketch, how to select line/rectangle midpoint as base point?

[@davidgruty]

Can you see the constraints in the tree (like in Catia)?

[@edcente5838]

i like your videos about beginner's guide it can help a lot but I suggest please talk thinly and briefly, just limit your words it is very easy and effective for understanding in such a complex structural designs and 3d CAD software. by the way I like your videos.

[@CoderTronics]

Thanks some useful stuff here

[@kirishima3034]

I like your videos keep going

[@DesignBuildTDE]

How do you spell drafting in the UK?

[@sasadivjak4749]

You are KING!!! TX

[@exploringwithejaz8254]

great sir

[@CWSOF]

Is there a way to join lines, curves and etc?

[@qwidium]

Hi there, i just started to watch your inventor. From what i can see you cant be to inventive in inventor. You need to know precise what you want to do, to apply constraints at every step. In one word, inventor isnt the place where your ideas are born and get polished to an acceptable level. I am wrong? If so, can you please show me an approaching method? Dont know, maybe using a 3d sketch or something like this, construction lines, planes. A way to draw and start detailing without losing the entire model (part or assembly) from sight. Can you modify a solid on place? I mean without switching to his 2d sketch view. Many thanks:)

[@duynguyen6802]

If i saw this sooner , it woulb be so great ... Haizz :((

[@brightgardenentrepreneuria910]

Great share, thanks.

[@pomranirad]

Oh oh oh , you are great! tnx

[@epicbanana4317]

For me when I draw a horizontal or vertical line it is not automatically being constraint, aka i can still move a horizontal line vertical etc. Is there any way i can change this?

[@AndrewR74]

Thank you

[@StraitD2]

Thankyou!

[@puneetbharti1083]

hw we can edit edge flange profile in inventor like solidworks

[@jojofuji5732]

please tell to how can take center

[@Cian-_-]

🎉

[@muhammadjunaid4697]

sir how to free download Autodesk inventor 2017? Please Answer

[@Neil3D]

+MUHAMMAD JUNAID It's only free if you're a student. Otherwise it is not free.

[@sunflower-sw8vt]

god bless you sir...amien

[@cyklop1977]

gooood

[@swissfreek]

Henceforth I will never call the Horizontal constraint anything other than "the upside-down Loch Ness Monster thing"!

[@hiroyeager5945]

me thinks he forgot to show how to use 'shoestring' constrain

[@FinnBearOfficial]

I liked the video, right up untill you started the slot shaming.

[@nao_edytz]

Lu panjang durasi isinya kebanyakan kumur-kumur dibanding praktek🗿

[@Mothies07]

[@tonyziadeh8931]

thank you
