Relationships are everywhere, from traditional relationships like family and friends to wildly popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. But did you ever think that your AutoCAD objects could have relationships? Well, they can, and those relationships can be a powerful tool that can make you much more productive. This class will introduce you to parametric drawing in AutoCAD as well as using both geometric and dimensional constraints to add intelligence to your objects. If you have ever wanted geometry in your drawing to update based on changes that you have made to other objects, then this class is for you. |

Description: |
Run out of nuts and bolts? Welding your components together may be the answer. Weldments are used to design and document an assembly that does not contain traditional fasteners. Emulating the real welding process, you can add preparatory pre-weld operations, and post-weld machining operations for finishing and clean-up. Creating a weldment also enables you to analyze assemblies as a single unit. You can even use calculations to determine added mass, welding time and material costs. Documenting weldment assemblies requires tools and capabilities that may not be required by a typical drawing. This session will teach you how to do this, plus many other useful skills necessary for a firm foundation in weldment. |

Description: |
Inventor includes a huge library of stock components such as gears, bearings and threaded fasteners. But most companies have a series of component parts that are unique to their product line, but are used in various sizes and configurations depending on the particular model or variant being built. This presentation will show you how easy it is to set up an iPart factory. Now your designers will be able to quickly and easily pick a type of component from your library, and then specify details such as size and capacity. The iPart factory can then generate the specific part. iParts can include iMates, so the iPart components “automatically” attach themselves properly as they are inserted into an assembly. Save time by letting the parts essentially create themselves! |
