Introducing Autodesk Inventor 2009 and Autodesk Inventor LT 2009

Autodesk Inventor expert Thom Tremblay relied on his years of Inventor and teaching experience to develop this beginner-level reference and tutorial. Introducing Inventor immediately engages readers by having them create a drawing to begin the detailed look at the Inventor interface. The programs drawing and 2D and 3D features are then explored before readers dive into the robust part modeling features. The book then offers increasingly sophisticated techniques for dealing with assemblies large and smalleverything from placing components, constraining, and animating constraints. The book also explores such crucial topics as standards, styles, project management and communication, sheet metal tools, and creating presentations. Introducing Inventor teaches the software in the context of real-world tasks and workflows and is perfectly suited to mechanical designers, mechanical engineers, and students in all fields who need to quickly become productive with Autodesks market-leading 3D mechanical design software.
