Combining theoretical information with hands-on applications, Instant Design, Fundamentals of Autodesk Inventor 2010, provides a quick and easy-to-understand introduction to the basics of part and assembly creation from sketch to production drawings. Simple exercises, light language and friendly graphics illustrate the various processes needed to move from a 2D sketch to a fully annotated drawing using a 3D solid model as the base. Essential concepts and commands are reinforced throughout, as students learn Inventor 2010 and how to transform their ideas into designs.
