MFG197593 – Back to the Basics with Inventor
This class will be an introduction or reintroduction to Inventor mechanical design and 3D CAD software. It will also go into general detail about many of the common issues that come up on the Inventor forums. It is generally understood that there are more intermediate and advanced Inventor software classes at Autodesk University; however, sometimes you need to go back to the basics to discover or rediscover some of the features you might not know about or understand-whether they be hard to find, or confusing to know how to use. This session will feature Inventor Professional software.
IM196136 – Working with Inventor View Representations – Now You See it (Now You Don’t)
Overbearing Inventor model makin’ it so hard for me. This class will teach you how to use View Representations in Inventor assemblies.

Further, we’ll smoothly integrate Vault’s Project Sync in our workflow as a facilitation to collaborate with externals. Once, we’ve passed our first connection to the cloud I’m going to demonstrate additional cloud product use cases you can integrate to be more productive.
MFG226705 – Reliable modelling techniques for complex part design in Autodesk Inventor
In this class we will learn how to build reliable, predictable parametric part models with confidence. We will learn a structured approach that can easily be documented as an office standard. We will learn how to order our feature tree, how to make features adapt, without making the model fragile.
MFG224000-L – Nesting Utility Hands-On
The class will explore by doing all the major commands and options the Inventor Nesting Utility add-in has to offer:
– Nest entire assemblies or individual Inventor sheet metal parts, extrusions and sketches
– Nests on multiple rectangular sheets of same or varying dimensions or on roll material
– Optimize nest efficiency (filler parts, tweak nesting parameters)
– Read in DXFs and use layer mappings to guide the fabrication process
– Explore associativity scenarios between 3D model and the generated nests
– Export nest as DXF or 3D model
