Autodesk Inventor essentials course

What you will be working with

This course introduces Autodesk Inventor through sketching and the first solid features. It starts with how sketches are constrained, then moves to extrudes, revolves and holes, the operations most simple parts are built from.

Built for a standing start

The course does not assume prior Inventor knowledge. Early work is about getting comfortable with sketching, so that each feature you add later sits on a sketch you already understand.

Why these tools come first

Constraints determine how a sketch behaves when you change it later, which shapes everything built on top of it. Extrudes, revolves and holes cover many common part shapes, making them a practical place to begin.
