About This Book
This practical resource provides a series of InventorĀ® exercises covering several topics, including:
- sketches
- part models
- assemblies
- drawing layouts
- presentations
- sheet metal design
- welding
for users with some familiarity with AutodeskĀ® Inventor, or other similar feature-based modelling software such as Solid Works Ā®, CATIA Ā®, Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Parametric, and who want to become proficient. Exercises are set out in a structured way and are suitable for releases of Inventor from versions 7 to 13.

Information
B Placed features 1
- With the A exercises, the user created dimensioned, constrained sketches and extruded/revolved these sketches into Inventor part models.
- In this second series of exercises:
- original sketches/part models will be modified to include part features; and
- new sketches/part models with part features will be created.
- InventorĀ® lists the following as part features:
- fillet;
- chamfer;
- hole;
- thread;
- shell;
- decal;
- emboss; and
- face draft.
- Part features can be āaddedā to the original sketch or the part model itself, and the exercises in this chapter will only consider the fillet, chamfer, hole and thread part features.
- The other part features will be considered in the next chapter.
- The process for the exercises is:
- Modifying saved part models
- Start each exercise with an already completed part model file.
- Modify the original sketch or part model as required.
- Ensure that the modified sketch is still fully constrained.
- Add dimensions if necessary.
- Obtain the modified part model and view at a suitable 3D viewpoint.
- Save your completed modified part model to your named folder (with a new name).
- Use discretion as appropriate.
- New part models
- Start each exercise with the standard metric (mm) .ipt file.
- Create the dimensioned, constrained sketch.
- Obtain the part model and view at a suitable 3D viewpoint.
- Save your new part model to your named folder.
- Use discretion as appropriate.
- Modifying saved part models
Terminology
Sketched feature
Where the user draws a sketch on a planer face (or work plane) and either adds or subtracts material to or from existing features in a part.
Tools
Use the Extrude, Revolve, Sweep or Loft tools to create sketched features in a part.
Placed feature
- Features that are predefined and only need to be located.
- The placed features considered (as stated) are fillet, chamfer, hole and thread.
Fillet
Fillet features consist of fillets and rounds, and:
- a fillet adds material to interior edges to create a smooth transition from one face to another;
- rounds remove material from exterior edges; and
- fillet options are:
- Edge: allows individual selected edges to be filleted.
- Loop: fillets all edges that form a closed loop with the selected edge.
- Feature: will fillet all edges of a selected feature.
- All fillets: will select all concave edges of a part that are not filleted.
- All rounds...
