I have watched literally hundreds of various CAD/CAM tutorials for various different products over the years. I am new to Inventor. Yours is hands down the best. You are always dropping key tips throughout your presentation and offer some very insightful pointers and workflow help. This is both great for people completely new to modeling and CAD as well as for people who have other experience on other platforms. Very impressed. Kudos.

Just realized how you make this world more beautiful by these series instruction video. Thank you for that.

[sidharthc]

The tutorial is the best, this video has made my learning easy.
Can you please do a video on real life use of CAD, CAE, CAM tools as a design engineer, mentioning each part of the job? from receiving a project work to the completion..

3:15:01 you were editing the duration not the z direction. Anyway, thanks for the hard work into making this available. It was just what I needed to start my project.

[williamvesterberg]

One of the most comprehensive tutorials for beginners👍
But i am missing that the work sheets are only in imperial and not in metric as well

[ermiasadane]

ohhh thanks a lot it helps me very much

Thank you for posting this online for everyone. I am not sure if its my settings or if I have a slightly different version as its a year-ish later. But when creating a new sketch from an extruded part, none of the snaps work. This has proven especially difficult for exercise 2 when I am attempting to add the lines to turn into ribs (53:58) Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

After fooling around I managed to do a work around of doing a smaller line then adding a coincident constraint but its more work. Also "Project Geometry" seems to help but in either case its a couple extra steps.

Based on Autodesk lit. it appears to be a setting within the "Constraint Inference scope". But I am honestly at a lost. Any help would be much appreciated

[miguelescobar-tabitian]

In Lab 3.1 How were you able to know the top arc was a 3-point and the bottom was a tan arc? (1:43:10) Is it the straight lines in the sketch guide?

[rossmartin]

Chris, in a classroom setting I have trouble seeing things presented on a large screen. This type of instruction has helped me so much in understanding the finer points of Inventor. Thank you so much.

[wihgzoz]

inventor s much faster than solidworks, such as response, efficiecy .i am going to transfer sw to inventor.

How do you get the midpoint to show up when you hover over it?
