Learn the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design and creating production-ready part drawings using Autodesk® Inventor® LT. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.

• Identify the main user interface components, describe how to access different tools, view all aspects of your design by efficiently navigating around in 2D and 3D space, and describe the characteristics and benefits of a parametric part model.
• Use sketch tools to create 2D sketch geometry, apply geometric constraints to control sketch geometry, and add parametric dimensions to your sketch geometry.
• Create features using the Extrude and Revolve tools, use reference and construction geometry, use the browser and shortcut menus to edit parametric parts, use the 3D Grips tool to edit part geometry, create, locate, and utilize work features to perform modeling tasks, and create swept shapes by sweeping a profile along a 2D or 3D path.
• Navigate the Autodesk Inventor user interface when creating and editing drawing sheets, create base and projected views of 3D parts, create and edit section views, detail views, and cropped views, and manage drawing views.
• Dimension drawings with automated and manual techniques.
• Create both chamfers and fillets on a part, use the Hole and Thread tools to place hole and thread features on your part model, create rectangular and circular patterns and mirror existing features, and create thin-walled parts using the Shell tool.
• Explain and utilize the enhancements associated with iFeatures, utilize the various part and sketch enhancements to create and modify sketch geometry, create model parameters, and set material units for a model material, explain the use of UCS in sketches and parts, and create and modify a UCS.
• Create and edit hole and thread notes in drawings, add centerlines, center marks, and symbols to your drawings, and configure, add, and edit revision tables and revision tags.
• Set drafting standards to control the appearance of drawing features, and use drawing resources to create multiple sheets and add borders and title blocks to your drawings.
• Describe and utilize the enhancements associated with drawing views and view blocks and the enhancements associated with annotating drawings.
• Import and export geometry using other file types and prepare and publish AEC building components.
