Autodesk Inventor Fundamentals - Basics of Part Modeling Chapter 1

[@chrischalabi]

I just downloaded this from the app store for free on OSX. Thank you for the detailed tutorials!

[@andrejsvorobjovs5889]

I have a sense that these are going to be some really good tutorial series!

[@ClayClaim]

Your tutorial is so great!! I know how hard it can be… Looking forward to see more work :)

[@wes19192]

keep up the good work rob .... thumbs up

[@ghostalin]

Technical evangelist is a neat title.

[@tamahola]

Thank You! If only you knew how much you helped me.

[@Paulieinspiration]

great beginner tutorial thanx

[@kerazop]

Wonderful, very clear and helpful

[@fashionartnetwork3418]

loving all the style!

[@takayang2740]

Very easy to understand

[@DillonV]

Is this tutorial in Autodesk Inventor Publisher or Autodesk inventor Professional?

[@orangedac]

Thanks for the info. I tried contacting some companies in China and supplying them with the drawings I made in Autodesk Inventor (yea i'm learning it). I want to see what they quote for making 1 part in metal. I'm guessing the cost is going to be unaffordable. Are you proficient in Inventor?

[@Denisjamesscott]

Very informative thank you

[@CameronONeill]

I'd say so. I'm a tenth grader (in the U.S.) and I use the metric system almost exclusively in programs like this. We almost always use metric in science classes, and we use both systems in math classes.

[@MikeEvansHfd]

Rob, Can you help me? I don't know how to mitre one piece of tube to another of the same size. Do you have a video you could direct me to? Cheers Mike

[@TheMach1neHead]

Hi Rob. May I know what version/year of Autodesk Inventor you're using in these videos?

[@TheMach1neHead]

Ok found it. 2011.

[@zarbak2]

@MikeEvansHfd You generally dont miter tube, you bend it, however frame components, you would miter. Have you tried using frame generator? This is the best way to create easy miters, flush cuts and frame components in general.

[@milano6100]

yh go to the autodesk site, there is a series named 'built by design'. it is under community

[@koncertLive]

you can do everything with inventor. I have used 3ds max, maya, blender and just about everything between. Aside from the movie making features of these they do not compare to modeling. Autodesk Inventor has made modeling easy as hell

[@SametAkalan]

what does he use to control the views?(left of the computer)

[@pandarzzz]

Thank you for the video! :)

[@josearnaldopinheirodossant7712]

How to get back that "central point" and what to do to not loss it ?

[@agodwin444]

is there an updated version of these tutorial videos that uses inventor 2012?I know 2011 and 2012 are similar enough to get the basics out of these videos I was just curiuos if there is an update that anyone knows of?

[@val5214]

so to be sure, it is a n.u.r.b.s. modeler and not a mesh modeler? there are mesh modelers that now spit out .obj files and so on. also can it repair models for stl files

[@erickrauter9613]

I am starting a travel trailer project , and my cam/cam is limited to freecad and winging it. But I want to translate what is in my head with all that I don't know to see how it will come together. But I need to add parts and the material they are made of. I kinda tried properties but decided to ask while "winging it"

[@papileche]

Hi I am unable to do section views with inventor fusion. ? I can only do it with autodesk inventor

[@limyouliang]

@sosaj64 Inventor is for Design Engineer while 3ds Max is for Game Designer. =)

[@syed7skt]

Sir ur video is very helpful for me. Would u please teach me how can i change dimension ie from mm to cm or cm to inch

[@onomesotu]

I had the same problem a while ago because i deleted mine. Then I had uninstall and install the program again for it to appear!

[@nathanjh13]

For sure! I'm British and we had the sense to ditch it years ago and we invented it.

[@sekoupele]

good rob & thanks ^_^

[@LovemeAquarius]

Thank you.

[@EtherealMotionPictures]

I want to Know what laptop you were using

[@orangedac]

I got a question that I hope someone can answer. Supposing I draw a part in Inventor. WHERE do i get it made? Say its some plastic part. Are there companies in China that I send the file to that will make like 2 pieces and send it back to me? How much would creating a couple of pieces of a simple plastic box-like part cost? Are we talking under $100 or are we talking $1000 or more! Please someone give me the skinny on this as I'm a bit clueless.

[@bharatvarsha7]

anybody tell me why i m not seeing the left hand panel invloving working plane setup(as shown in this video) in my Inventor panel??tried all possible option yet somehow it cant showup

[@erickrauter9613]

how do I add plywood parts to a project.

[@davidfinlay8274]

Can you get lar live stream back or get some one to take it over it very helpful to use and new user.

[@azoo000ooz1]

How can i communicate with you

[@MegaCoolshot]

i dont have the sketch tap

[@pezesito]

I used inventor R8, but I am using now 2010 version, and have a lot of problems with adaptive parts, does anyone here know if i need to change settings or recommend me a video to understand better this? I start with assy and create new parts from it, I thought that projecting edges will carry new sketches to new place or dimension, according to what I have releated it, but it´s become crazy to test every new feature to see if the assy works, many times the extrusions dont go to where the new position of the part, and so... any comment will be welcome, thanks

[@neogoo123]

i got to say, i am so used to blender, which i was using before Inventor, and its hard for me to get used to the NON-vertex editing lol

[@davidgruty]

technical evangelist? what does it mean?

[@2007visor]

activate dynamic input

[@bharatvarsha7]

what a coincidence i did the same yesterday and it appreared,AutoCAD has to many bugs

[@DillonV]

Yes but holy shit it would be hard you have to make every single part.

[@duanedean6470]

Superior? Not exactly. 12 inches in a foot. 12 is (evenly) divisible by: 1,2,3,4,6and 12. Metrics: 10 is only (evenly) divisible by 1,2,5 and 10. So, take a meter long board and cut it into 3 equal parts. 10/3 = 3.3333333333333. 10/4 is 2.5, thats not even. Cant use 10/6 either. Thats like 1/32 of an inch? Repeated enough times on a 200 foot run, that is almost 2.5 inches off. That is alot and not acceptable in building standards of anything.

[@neogoo123]

I'm sorry, but you should really check the timing on comments. I do not do modelling anymore and do not know anymore which is better... nor do I honestly care..

[@duanedean6470]

Hard? No, time consuming, yes. Once you learn this, you can blow through drawings like nothing as long as you understand 3d views.

[@duanedean6470]

Ya, apparently that wasnt good enough. Here it is in more exact terms in feet. 983571056.43045 ft/s. Looks like they rounded off the metric number huh. Cant be exact with that now can we.

[@duanedean6470]

Umm I can tell you it is not a bug like many are saying. They say this when they dont now how to use something. To turn it back on, go to the View Tab in the Ribbon and on the Windows Panel select the fly out for User Interface. It is hysterical to see ppl are uninstalling this to get it back. Ya, they will be fired really quick form there jobs. LMAO Dont know how to use it, then leave it alone.

[@Daimo988]

yes, its overkill for that really....

[@duanedean6470]

Wihtout a degree in mechanical design, there is no reason to learn this. Just because you know it, doesnt mean you will get a job doing it. You are virtually trained as an engineer in all aspects, but can create in Inventor. It is almost unlikely nowadays to get a job drafting without a degree of sorts.

[@murrayedington]

You should go through your script and select every instance of "go ahead and" and then press delete. There must be hundreds of them, sometimes several per sentence. You've damaged my brain. Is it a nervous habit? Pity about that, as it spoiled an otherwise helpful set of intro tutorials

[@limyouliang]

@sosaj64

[@trancluong]

You can teach, but the way you teach by "TALKING MORE THAN SHOWING", It take to much time for people to learn...

[@kayaoneil6428]

lol

[@jamienewman1488]

COME ON YOU YANKS JOIN THE METRIC SYSTEM THE LIGHT SIDE OF THE FORCE

[@oxiroxt]

blahblahblah slowwww mahnervezzzzz

[@ragrj2009]

Inventor is very impressive, but much, much,much more Boooooooooring! I just hate it. It was developed by people who hate autocad users.

[@zimonslot]

they also hate creatives. 3D Studio max is designed by technical people...

[@ragrj2009]

zimonslot It demands so many steps to create silly details that I suspect it is only usable by people who love video games like Super Mario Bros. Too many hidden tricks. I am too old for this!

[@80amnesia]

lol
