Getting Started With Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013
We Will Call It “Inventor”
Relevant VocabularyMake sure to write in each vocabulary
word on your relevant vocabulary worksheet when you see it in the
presentation! Don’t forget to spell it correctly!!!
What is CAD?Computer Aided Design is the use of a computer to assist in the process of designing a part, circuit, building, etc.
We use CAD to make a Model
A Model is a visual, mathematical or 3D representation in detail of an object or design, often smaller than the original.
They are used to test ideas, make changes to a design, and to learn more about what
would happen to a similar, real object.
You can then build a Prototype
A Prototype is a full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making
actual observations and necessary adjustments.
(This is what we will print with our 3D printer!!!)
Want to try it?Then go log in!
Find the icon “Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013.” Double Click to Open the program.
This is what you will see. Now find the ribbon running across the top of the screen.
The Ribbon is a palette that displays buttons and controls used for both 2D drawing and 3D
modeling and viewing.Find the New Icon and left click to open it.
Ribbon
When this box comes up, make sure
that “Standard.ipt”
is chosen.
Then left click the “Create”
button.
Click on the paper and pencil above 2D sketch.
3D Indicator Shows direction of X, Y, and Z coordinates. Red represents X, Green represents Y Blue represents Z directions
View CubeClickable and
draggable interface
that is used to switch
between standard
and isometric
views
Sketch Plane
The surface on which
2D profiles can be
sketched
Click on the XY Plane
You should see the origin (yellow point) and 2 lines that represent the x and y axes
Isometric View- A drawing in which all three drawing axes
form equal angles of 120 degrees with
the plane of projection.
BrowserA sequential record of the construction
steps
In the browser, right click on Sketch 1
A menu will appear.
Click on “Edit Sketch”
Notice the Ribbon
changes back to the 2D options.
To make all of the drawing show in the
view window, left click on
“Front” on the view cube.
Ta Da!
Now to Save; Click on the
Menu (The Big “I” Icon) and then
select “Save as”
Ut-Oh!We forgot to get
back to 3D by clicking the
“Finish Sketch” button. It’s
alright though, just choose okay.
Look for “My
Documents”
Click the “New Folder” Icon
Name the folder “3D” and open it.
Name this drawing “First Try”, then click
“Save”
If you did this right, the file
name now shows up.
Congratulations!!!
You have successfully completed Phase One!
