  3. Chapter 1 Getting Started

  4. Chapter 1 - Objectives • In this chapter, you will gain an understanding of the following: • How to open files • How to create new files • Different file types used in Autodesk Inventor • Save options • The user interface • Application options • How to issue commands • Reasons for which a project file is used • How to create a project file for a single user • Autodesk Vault • The Help system • Different viewing commands

  5. Open and Create New Files • Open • Open an existing Autodesk Inventor file • New • Template for a new part, assembly, presentation file, sheet metal part, or drawing

  6. File Type Information • File Types • Part .ipt • 2D or 3D • Assembly .iam • Consist of single part, multiple parts, or subassemblies • Presentation .ipn • Shows parts of an assembly, exploded in different states • Sheet Metal .ipt • Part files that have sheet metal environment loaded

  7. File Type Information • File Types • Drawing .idw • Contain 2D projected drawing views of parts, assemblies and/or presentation files • Project .ipj • ASCII-based text files, contain search paths to locations of all files in project • iFeature .ide • Contains complete parts, 3D features, or 2D sketches, that inserted into a part file • Design Views (.idv) • Private Design Views are configuration files in which saves component visibility, component selection status, color settings, zoom magnification, and viewing angle of an assembly.

  8. Save Options • Save • Save current document • Save As • A new file is created and is made active • Save Copy As • A new file is created but is not made active • Save All • Save all open documents and all of their dependents

  17. Help System • Help system in Autodesk Inventor • Help Topics • New Features Workshop • Shortcut/Alias Quick Reference • Learning Tools • Ribbon Learning Tools • Help Access • F1 key • Help menu • Information Toolbar

  18. Projects in Autodesk Inventor • Projects Overview • Most designs involve more than a single file: parts, subassembly, top level assembly, presentation, and drawings • Projects are files that contain search paths to find files that are required for a project • Autodesk Inventor always has a project named Default. The default project’s path is located relative to the folder that the referencing file located

  19. Projects in Autodesk Inventor • Project Setup • Plan your project folder structure • Project File Search Options • Inventor stores cross-file reference information • Resolves information to find referenced file

  20. Projects in Autodesk Inventor • Project File Search Options • Included File, Workspace & Local Search Paths • Workgroup Search Paths • More file management sophistication • Library Search Paths • Store standard company and third-party models • Project File Search Order • Library Paths • Workspace • Local Search Paths in the order listed in the project file • Workgroup Search Paths in the order listed in the project file • Folder containing the parent document

  21. Projects in Autodesk Inventor • Creating Projects • .ipj file extension • Types of project • Single User • Vault Project • Available only if Autodesk Vault is installed

  22. Projects in Autodesk Inventor • Project wizard • Project Name • Location • Libraries • Editing Projects

  23. Autodesk Vault • Available on the Autodesk Inventor DVD • Autodesk Vault enhances the data management process by • File check in / out • Manage any electronic file • Track file versions • Track team member access • Copy designs • Enhanced search capabilities

  24. Exercise 1-2 • Projects

  25. Viewpoint Options • Viewing Models From Different Viewpoints • View Cube • Navigation Toolbar • Home View • View Tab • Camera Views • Display Options

  26. Exercise 1-3 • Viewing a Model

  27. Checking Your Skills • Explain the reasons why a project file is used. • True_ False_ Only one project can be active at any time. • True_ False Subfolders need to be added to the project file in order for the files to be found. • True_ False_ Autodesk Inventor stores the part, assembly information, and related drawing views in the same file. • True_ False_ Press and hold down the F4 key to dynamically rotate a part. • True_ False_ The Save Copy As command saves the active document with a new name, and then makes it current. • List four ways to access the Help system. • Explain how to change the location of the Ribbon. • True_ False_ Commands can be added to the Quick Access toolbar. • True_ False_ You can only edit a part while it is in Shaded Display.
