Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week released its "Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Administration and Data Exchange," an advanced course designed for experienced Inventor users, particularly those working in a company environment, teaching the program's features for producing model libraries and templates in order to track data and allow for importing and exporting of models and drawings.
Autodesk Inventor is a 3D CAD software used to create, visualize, and simulate mechanical products.
Infinite Skills "Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Administration and Data Exchange Tutorial" focuses on the program's tools for data management that allows users to create libraries and templates for standardized models and drawings that can be imported and exported for modification and use within individual projects.
An Inventor user since 1999, course author Adam Cooper is a career mechanical engineer designing primarily plastic installations in the automotive industry. He is also an accomplished trainer and a regular speaker at Autodesk University. He is an Autodesk Certified Instructor in Inventor along with several other Autodesk programs.
Cooper begins by explaining how to work with document settings and project files, and integrate that data with the content center.
He then covers how to create templates and add company features such as styles and standards, custom borders, title blocks, and more.
The course then covers the importing process, explaining file translation, editing, how to repair imports, and how to export to other formats. The course closes with a look at how to protect intellectual property when working in a collaborative environment.
"This course is an in-depth look at working with Inventor's features for collaboration within a company environment," explains Cooper.
"By the end of the course, you should have a very good understanding of how to create standardized models and drawings that can be imported and used in multiple projects."
