29 Introduction The Autodesk Inventor program was introduced in 1999 as an ambitious 3D parametric modeler based not on the familiar Autodesk AutoCAD software programming architecture but instead on a separate foundation that would provide the room needed to grow into the fully featured modeler it is now, more than a decade later. Autodesk Inventor 2015 continues the development of Autodesk Inventor with improved modeling, drawing, assembly, and visualization tools. Autodesk has set out to improve this release of Autodesk Inventor by devoting as much time and energy to improving existing tools and features as it has to adding new ones. With this book, the sixth edition of Mastering Autodesk Inventor 2015 and Autodesk Inventor LT 2015, I have set out to update the existing pages and add new content and exercises. In these pages, you will find detailed information on the specifics of the tools and the principles of sound parametric design techniques. Some readers will find this book works best for them as a desktop reference, whereas others will use it primarily for the step-by-step tutorials. With this in mind, I ve worked to shape the pages of this book with a mix of reference material, instructional steps, and tips and hints from the real world. Who Should Read This Book This book is written with a wide range of Autodesk Inventor users in mind, varying from beginner to advanced users and Autodesk Inventor instructors: Beginner Autodesk Inventor users who are making the move from traditional 2D CAD design to Autodesk Inventor These readers might have experience with AutoCAD and will possess an understanding of basic design and engineering concepts as well as a desire to improve their skill set and stay competitive in the marketplace. Intermediate Autodesk Inventor users who are self-taught or have gone through formal Autodesk Inventor training during their company s initial implementation of Autodesk Inventor and who are looking for more information on a specific module within Autodesk Inventor. This book also targets users looking for a desktop reference to turn to when they come upon an area of Autodesk Inventor they do not encounter on a day-to-day basis. Advanced Autodesk Inventor users who have mastered the Autodesk Inventor tools used over and over daily but want to conquer the parts of the program they do not utilize during their normal design tasks. This book also targets advanced users who want to add to their skill set to move up the ranks within their current company or want to expand their knowledge in pursuit of a new position with another employer.
30 XXVIII INTRODUCTION Autodesk Inventor users of any skill and experience level who are preparing for the Autodesk Inventor Associate or Professional exam. CAD and engineering instructors looking for a text to use in instructor-led classroom training. Attempting to learn all the tools in Autodesk Inventor can be an intimidating experience because of the wide range of task-specific modules available. It is the goal of this book to separate these modules into easy-to-tackle chapters relating to real-world situations for which the tools were designed while also including chapters on general Autodesk Inventor tools, techniques, and design principles. What You Will Learn The following pages will explain the Autodesk Inventor settings while teaching you how each tool functions. Just as importantly, though, these pages are filled with the tips and techniques learned by the experts who spent years using, researching, and discussing the tools in Autodesk Inventor. You should come away from reading this book with a solid understanding of the capabilities of Autodesk Inventor and a strong idea of how to tackle your design challenges in the future, as well as an abundance of time-saving tips and tricks. What You Will Need The files needed to complete the tutorial projects in this book can be downloaded from the Sybex website at the following location: Download the collection of zip files and extract all the files to a folder on your computer, such as \My Documents\Mastering Inventor In this folder you will have a subdirectory for each of the 20 chapters, plus a couple of other folders, as well as a file called Mastering Inventor 2015.ipj, as shown here: Once the files are in place, set the Mastering Inventor 2015 project as the active project by following these steps. Note that if you are using Autodesk Inventor LT, the use of project files does not apply, and you can skip these steps:
