Autodesk Inventor 2025: Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 2 (Mixed Units)

Note: This book is a continuation of Autodesk® Inventor® 2025: Introduction to Solid Modeling Part 1. Both books are required to learn all fundamental-level Inventor skills. The print version of this guide is printed in black and white with images in grayscale.The Autodesk® Inventor® 2025: Introduction to Solid Modeling Part 1 and Part 2 guides provide new Autodesk Inventor users with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. In the Part 2 guide, you will continue on from the part modeling experience you gained in the Part 1 guide to learn assembly design techniques and how to create production drawings of your models.It is highly recommended that you complete the Part 1 guide (sold separately) prior to using Part 2.Topics Covered in Part 2Placing and constraining/connecting parts in assembliesManipulating the display of components in an assemblyObtaining model measurements and property informationCreating presentation files (exploded views)Modifying and analyzing the components in an assemblySimulating motion in an assemblyCreating parts and features in assembliesCreating and editing an assembly bill of materialsWorking with projectsCreating and annotating drawings and viewsCustomizing the Autodesk Inventor environmentPrerequisitesAccess to the 2025.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide are not compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2024).As introductory guides, Autodesk Inventor 2025: Introduction to Solid Modeling Part 1 and Part 2 do not assume prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software. The Part 1 guide should be completed prior to completing the Part 2 guide. Experience with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended. Read more
