Video description

In this Autodesk Inventor 2014 training course, you will learn the fundamentals of using Inventor for creating your 3D digital prototypes. Designed for beginners, this tutorial covers everything you need to know to start modeling your own Inventor projects.
You begin with a tour of the Inventor 2014 interface, and an explanation of the concepts that are covered, and industry best practices. Throughout the video tutorial you will cover sketching, creating a feature from those sketches, building an assembly from the parts, and creating a presentation view of that assembly. The course finishes off with lessons on how to create drawings of your design.
Once you have completed this video based training course for Autodesk Inventor 2014 you will have a firm grasp on the fundamental tools and techniques you will use to create your own modeling projects. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
