Autodesk Inventor for Designers by Sham Tickoo - Ebook | Scribd
I search google and find out in you can scale using "direct edit". There are also ways to scale parts by deriving them, but I didn't learn that in this book. So, I find the "direct edit" in the index and when I go look, sure enough, you can scale, but the section on this tool fails to mention where the heck I find it.
I hope this book redeems itself over the next months, but it's off to a rocky start. This is a great book and love all the download chapters. Works perfect on my new Ipad. Great Book! One person found this helpful. Not perfect but helpful. This book is great. I bought one copy Jan It was so good I bought a second copy 22 Feb which I cut into segments of a few chapters to read on the bus. I got the idea while reading this book. The step-by-step instructions and illustrations are clear.
The tutorials teach the Inventor tools by applying them to partially completed Part and Assembly files available at the Sybex website. This book is informative. Not what I expected at all. I'd suggest a book by Sham Tickoo instead. Great book, perfect condition! Great studying material. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Great book. Very useful. Report abuse. Very good. I bought this for my son as was preparing to compete in the Skills competition at the provincial level.
The author has an excellent ability to offer the information in simple, easy-to-follow steps; he really has an understanding of the process of learning from the ground up, and is able to teach everything the reader needs to know in coherent, plain language. Anybody who wants to master Autodesk Inventor need look no further. This is the only resource you'll need. Just getting into it but appears great from what I've covered so far Very detailed book.
Easy to understand and good to keep it around for reference while working on the software. Happy to have it. Report an issue. Does this item contain inappropriate content? Do you believe that this item violates a copyright? When you invoke a sheet metal file, the Sketching environment is active by default. You can draw the sketch of the base sheet in this module and then proceed to the sheet metal module to convert it into a sheet metal component.
This module is used to create mold design by integrated mold functionality and content libraries using the intelligent tools and catalogs provided in mold design module. In this module, you can quickly generate accurate mold design directly from digital prototypes. Install Autodesk Inventor on your system; the shortcut icon of Autodesk Inventor Professional will automatically be created on the desktop.
Double-click on this icon to start Autodesk Inventor. When Autodesk Inventor is started for the first time, the system prepares itself by loading all the required files and then the initial interface of Autodesk Inventor will be displayed, as shown in Figure By using the tools available in the initial interface of Autodesk Inventor, you can view the recent enhancements and information related to Autodesk Inventor , start new file, open an exiting file, set a project, and so on.
To view the enhancements and related information, choose the Whats New tool available in the Get Started tab of the Ribbon. You will learn more about the Ribbon and respective tabs and tools available in it later in this chapter.
To start a new file, choose the New tool from the Launch panel of the Get Started tab in the Ribbon ; the Create New File dialog box will be displayed, as shown in Figure This dialog box is used to start a new file of Autodesk Inventor. As a result, a new part file with the default name, Part1. The figure also displays various components of the interface.
Alternatively, to start a new part file, you can choose the New Part button from the New area in the initial interface of Autodesk Inventor, refer to Figure Note that on choosing this button, the part file will be invoked with the default template. It is evident from Figure that the screen of Autodesk Inventor is quite user-friendly.
Apart from the components shown in Figure , you are also provided with various shortcut menus which are displayed on right-clicking in the drawing area. The type of the menu and its options depend on where or when you are trying to access the menu. For example, when you are inside any command, the options displayed in the shortcut menu will be different from the options displayed when you are not inside any command. The different types of shortcut menus will be discussed when they are used in the textbook.
This toolbar is common to all the design environments of Autodesk Inventor. However, some of these options will not be available when you start Autodesk Inventor for the first time. You need to add them using the down arrow given on the right of the Quick Access Toolbar , as shown in Figure Some of the important options in this toolbar are discussed next.
Select tools are used to set the selection priority. If you choose the down arrow on the right of the active select tool, a selection drop-down list will be displayed, refer to Figure The Select Bodies tool is chosen to set the selection priority for bodies.
If this tool is chosen, you can select any individual body in the model. If you choose the Select Features tool, you can select any feature in the model. The Select Faces and Edges tool is chosen to set the priority for faces and edges. The Select Sketch Features tool is chosen to set the priority for the sketched entities. The Select Groups and Select Wires tools will be activated in their respective environments when the different groups and wires become available.
This tool is activated in the sketching environment and is used to exit from the sketching environment. Once you have finished drawing a sketch, choose this tool to proceed to the Part module. In the Part module, you can convert the sketch into a feature using the required tools. If the Return tool is not available in the Quick Access Toolbar , you need to add it.
To do so, choose the down arrow on the right of the Quick Access Toolbar ; a flyout is displayed. Next, choose the Return option from the flyout. You can use this drop-down list to apply different types of colors or styles to the selected features or component to improve its appearance. It is much easier to identify different components, parts, and assemblies when proper color codes are applied to them.
You can use the options in this drop-down list to apply different types of materials to the selected features or component.
You might have noticed that there is no command prompt in Autodesk Inventor. The complete designing process is carried out by invoking the commands from the tabs in the Ribbon. The Ribbon is a long bar available below the Quick Access Toolbar. You can change the appearance of the Ribbon as per your need. To do so, right-click on it; a shortcut menu will be displayed. Choose Ribbon Appearance from this shortcut menu to invoke a cascading menu.
Next, choose the required option from the cascading menu. Autodesk Inventor provides you with different tabs while working with various design environments.
This means that the tabs available in the Ribbon while working with the Part , Assembly , Drawing , Sheet Metal , and Presentation environments will be different. In addition to the default tools available in a tab, you can also customize the tab by adding more tools. To do so, choose the Customize button from the Options panel of the Tools tab in the Ribbon ; the Customize dialog box will be displayed.
Make sure that the Ribbon tab of the dialog box is chosen. Next, select the required tool to be added from the list and then from the Choose tab to add custom panel to drop-down list, select the required tab to which the selected tool is to be added. Next, choose the Add button which is represented as double arrows and then choose the Apply button to add the tool.
Similarly you can add multiple tools to the required tab of the Ribbon. Once you are done, close the OK button to exit the dialog box. In Autodesk Inventor, the messages and prompts are displayed at the Status Bar which is available at the lower left corner of the Autodesk Inventor window. This is one of the most important tabs in the Ribbon.
All the tools for creating the sketches of the parts are available in this tab. Most of the tools of the tab will be available on invoking the sketching environment. The Sketch tab is shown in Figure Inventor provides you with the Inventor Precise Input toolbar to enter precise values for the coordinates of the sketcher entities. This toolbar is also available in the Drawing and Assembly modules.
The Inventor Precise Input toolbar is shown in Figure Note that this toolbar is not available by default. You will learn more about this toolbar in chapter 2. This is the second most important tab provided in the Part module. Once the sketch is completed, you need to convert it into a feature using the modeling commands.
This tab provides all the modeling tools that can be used to convert a sketch into a feature. The tools in the 3D Model tab are shown in Figure As the first feature in most of the designs is a sketched feature, therefore you first need to create the sketch of the feature to be created. Once you have completed a sketch, you can choose either the Finish Sketch button from the Exit panel of the Sketch tab in the Ribbon or the Return button from the Quick Access Toolbar.
This tab provides the tools that are used to create sheet metal parts. This toolbar will be available only when you are in the sheet metal environment. If the Convert panel is not available in the 3D Model tab, you need to customize to add it.
You will learn more about customizing later in this book. The tools in the Sheet Metal tab are shown in Figure This tab will be available only when you open any assembly template with extension. This tab provides you all the tools that are required for assembling components. The tools in the Assemble tab are shown in Figure This tab provides the tools that are used to create different views of the components. This tab will be available only when you are in the Drafting environment.
The tools in the Place Views tab are shown in Figure This tab provides the tools that are used to create different presentation views of the components. This tab will be available only when you open any presentation template with extension. The tools in the Presentation tab are shown in Figure This tab contains tools that are mainly used for setting the preferences and customizing the Autodesk Inventor interface.
This tab is available in almost all the environments. The tools in the Tools tab are shown in Figure The tools in this tab enable you to control the view, orientation, appearance, and visibility of objects and view windows. The tools in the View tab are shown in Figure The tools of a particular tab are arranged in different panels in the Ribbon.
Some of the panels and tools have an arrow on the right, refer to Figure These arrows are called down arrows.
When you choose these down arrows, some more tools will be displayed in the drop-downs, see Figure Figure More tools displayed on choosing the down arrow on the right of a tool in the Ribbon. The Navigation Bar is located on the right of the graphics area and contains tools that are used to navigate the model in order to make the designing process easier and quicker.
The navigation tools also help you to control the view and orientation of the components in the drawing window. The Navigation Bar is shown in Figure The Browser Bar is available below the Ribbon , on the left in the drawing window. It displays all the operations performed during the designing process in a sequence. All these operations are displayed in the form of a tree view. You can undock the Browser Bar by dragging it. The contents of the Browser Bar are different for different environments of Autodesk Inventor.
For example, in the Part module, it displays various operations that were used in creating the part. Similarly, in the Assembly module, it displays all the components along with the constraints that were used to assemble them.
In Autodesk Inventor, you can set units at any time by using the Document Settings dialog box. You can invoke this dialog box by choosing the Document Settings tool from the Options panel in the Tools tab.
After invoking this dialog box, choose the Units tab in the dialog box; various areas related to the units will be displayed. The options in the Units area are used to set the units. To set the unit for linear dimension, select the required unit from the Length drop-down. Similarly, to set the unit for angular dimension, select the required unit from the Angle drop-down.
Next, choose the OK button to apply the specified settings and close the dialog box. If you want to apply the specified settings without closing the dialog box, choose the Apply button. If you choose the Apply button, the OK button is replaced by Close. Now, you can choose the Close button to close the dialog box.
Before you proceed further in Autodesk Inventor, it is very important for you to understand the following terms widely used in this book. A feature is defined as the smallest building block that can be modified individually.
In Autodesk Inventor, the solid models are created by integrating a number of building blocks. Therefore, the models in Autodesk Inventor are a combination of a number of individual features. These features understand their fit and function properly. As a result, these can be modified whenever required. Generally, these features automatically adjust their values if there is any change in their surroundings.
The parametric nature of a software package is its ability to use the standard properties or parameters to define the shape and size of a geometry. The main function of this property is to derive the selected geometry to a new size or shape without considering its original size or shape.
This property makes the designing process very easy as now you can draw a sketch with some relative dimensions and then can use this solid modeling tool to drive to the required actual values. As mentioned earlier, this solid modeling tool does not restrict its capabilities to the 3D solid output.
It is also capable of highly effective assembly modeling, drafting, and presentations. There exists a bidirectional associativity between all these environments of Autodesk Inventor.
This link ensures that if any modification is made in the model in any the environments, it is automatically reflected in the other environments as well.
This is a highly effective property that is included in the designing process of this solid modeling tool. In any design, there are a number of components that can be used in various places with a small change in their shape and size.
This property makes the part or the feature adapt to its environment. It also ensures that the adaptive part changes its shape and size as soon as it is constrained to other parts. This considerably reduces the time and effort required in creating similar parts in the design. The Design Doctor is one of the most important parts of the designing process used in the Autodesk Inventor software. It is a highly effective tool to ensure that the entire design process is error free.
The main purpose of the Design Doctor is to make you aware of any problem in the design. The Design Doctor works in the following three steps:. In this step, the Design Doctor selects the sketch, part, assembly, and so on and determines the errors in it. In this step, it examines the errors in the selected design.
Each of the errors is individually examined. This is the last step of the working of the Design Doctor. Once it has individually examined each of the errors, it suggests solutions for them. It provides you with a list of methods that can be utilized to remove the errors from the design. These are the logical operations that are performed on the selected design to make it more accurate or to define its position with respect to some other design.
There are four types of constraints in Autodesk Inventor. All these types are explained next. These logical operations are performed on the basic sketching entities to relate them to the standard properties like collinearity, concentricity, perpendicularity, and so on. Autodesk Inventor automatically applies these geometric constraints to the sketcher entities at the time of their creation. You do not have to use an extra command to apply these constraints on to the sketcher entities.
However, you can also manually apply these geometric constraints on to the sketcher entities. There are twelve types of geometric constraints. This constraint forces two selected curves to share the same center point.
The curves that can be made concentric are arcs, circles, or ellipses. This constraint forces the selected line segments to become equal in length. It can also be used to force two curves to become equal in radius.
This constraint adds a smooth constraint between a spline and another entity so that at the point of connection, the line is tangent to the spline. This constraint fixes the selected point or curve to a particular location with respect to the coordinate system of the current sketch.
This constraint forces the selected sketched entities to become symmetrical about a sketched line segment which may or may not be a center line. Great book to follow to get started learning inventor.
