Product Description
This book contains a series of fifteen tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Inventor, solid modeling, and parametric modeling. It uses a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the import parametric modeling techniques and concepts. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. This edition has been expanded to include these new topics: - Sheet Metal Designs
- Content Center and Basic Motion Analysis
- 2D Design Reuse, Collision and Contact
Autodesk Inventor 2009 Certified User Examination

Too much redundancy. Not enough depth July 13, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
There are some good exercises in this book but, it does not go into enough depth. The book does not address any more than 20% of the application's functionality. The author repeated the same basic instructions for opening a new part file in every exercise wasting several pages in the process. Actually, he speaks to the reader as if we are still trying to figure out how to use a mouse and repeats the same basic instructions through out the book. This book would be good for someone who is new to Windows and Inventor at the same time.... an unlikely scenario.
A file that was supposed to be available online, according to the author, at the publishers site returned a 404. The publisher has not responded to my email regarding the missing file. This file was necessary for an exercise. If you have Autocad you can produce the file yourself and do the exercise as I did.
There is some good information regarding the difference between Parametric modeling and tradition CAD but you could get the same info for nothing just by doing a search online on Parametric Modeling.
I would give this book a $10 value. In general a big disappointment.
