I know this is old, but I love these videos! I really wish I could find more like them. I wanna learn this program, but all I can seem to find is stiff corporate training videos. Teaching with humor is the best way to teach, imo.

Yet another new feature I'd never heard of. Part of the problem of bosses not paying for upgrade training and employees fully utilised so no time to look. Going through more of your videos now as I became unemployed last Friday and I do have some time whilst looking for work. Thanks for all your help over the years Neil. Jim

your energy at giving the explanation is remarcable, keep the good work !

Just seen, you are at 10K now! Congrats! Been watching these vids for a while now to get some new and different ways to do 3D modelling for a project I am working on at university, so thank you for the great videos!

Is it possible in regular assembly environment to apply a rotation constraint only in one direction? Like to resemble how one way clutches work?

Can you give an example of the same thing but with current positional values driving something else? i.e. the degree at which you have it changing to at that moment, drives the angle of the end of arm tool.
I'm thinking you have to use Joint or multiple tools at once... But it's failing to register anything I'm doing.

Hello there TFI is there any way i can contact you i have some questions i would like to ask about inventor i have a project with a chair and i dont know how to make the back legs from a drawing done in 3ds MAX i cannot use it and i dont know how to remake it in inventor with its angles and dimmensions also if i do the legs i dont know how to angle constraint them both on any angle each other :)

Quality content two days on a row, how come his channel hasn't reach 10k ( 8, 888 as I type this)
I can't wait for my spacemouse

u got my "like" buddy, wish u get that 3d mouse:)
another great tut
by the way, this option was 100% available in 2014 version, used it (as well as linear) a lot

[machielveldkamp]

Oh great tip this. The min. max. type limit was already there in 2010 or 2012 I believe. The 'use as resting position' is newer tho.

I don't even use Inventor, I just watch these for entertainment, lol jk, but pretty fun videos :D

Hello TFI, , I've been looking for a video on how to create an animated robotics arm for painting in inventor, so is there any chance you can cover this topic?
Thanks!

Will try to get all my classmates subscribed.

Have u got a video on how to use this i would love to practice my rc car builds before i actually build them

[ahmedzaytoun]

thank you. This video was really helpful

Yes, becouse "if you pull harder will go through" this option is completely usless when you have like for example 4 panels garage gate on the hinges.

I like your teaching techniques of Hi there. You mention your brother will be doing instructorly instructoring instructary classes at the Las Vegas Autodesk show. Does he have a YouTube channel? I'd like to follow him if he's half as fun as you are. I bet he's only one fourth as fun as you, but that's still within my constraints allowance.

[mostafaelkalie]

can we have upload the model or the parts

[raghavnandwani]

Please provide the files for this CAD model.

I understand that You prefer constraints to joints.
