Introduction to Inventor2011 and AutoCAD 2011 consists of ten chapters from Parametric Modeling using Inventor 2011 and six chapters from AutoCAD 20110 Tutorial-First Level: 2D Fundamentals. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. It uses a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the import parametric modeling techniques and concepts. This book contains a series of tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, solid modeling, and parametric modeling. This approach provides students with a strong understanding of the process used to create models and drawing in the industry.

Students learn to create solid models using Inventor and then learn how to create working drawings of their 3D models using AutoCAD. However, another possibility is to introduce students first to solid modeling using Inventor and then to introduce AutoCAD as a 2D product. Inventor is usually reserved for the second or third course or for a solid modeling course.

Most schools using Autodesk software first introduce students to the 2D features of AutoCAD and then go on to its 3D Capabilities. CLICK HERE TO GET BOOK Book An Introduction to Autodesk Inventor 2011 and AutoCAD 2011 Description/Summary:
