Synopsis
Using a step-by-step format, this book introduces Autodesk Inventor 12 and shows how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document designs. The content of the book goes beyond the material normally presented in an engineering graphics book associated with CAD software to include exercises requiring users to design simple mechanisms. Sample problems and a variety of additional exercise problems reinforce the material and allow the reader to practice the techniques described.Allows users to work directly from the book to the screen. Includes examples of how to create an animated assembly, apply dimension to a drawing, calculate shear and bending values and more! Introduces readers to both the ANSI and ISO standards so users learn appropriate techniques and national standards.

Engineering Designers, Appropriate for Engineering Design courses Using a step-by-step format, this book introduces Autodesk Inventor 2008 and shows how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document designs. This edition features four new chapters and a stronger emphasis on engineer drawings and on drawing components. Sample problems, end-of-chapter projects and a variety of additional exercises reinforce the material and allow the reader to practice the techniques described.
