The philosophy behind this book is that learning computer aided design programs is best accomplished by emphasizing the application of the tools. It s perfect for anyone interested in learning Autodesk Inventor quickly and effectively using a learning by doing approach. Unlike other books of its kind, it begins at a very basic level and ends at a very advanced level. It can be used in virtually any setting from four year engineering schools to on-the-job use or self-study. Use Next or Previous at the bottom-left to advance to the next page or return to the previous one.This unique text presents a thorough introduction to Autodesk Inventor for anyone with little or no prior experience with CAD software.See the Help topic “Getting Started” for further information.Familiarity with Autodesk Inventor, and its basic part modeling functionality and concepts.Create rules and parameters that control the modeling of a simple part.Become familiar with important iLogic concepts.Defining the relationships between all objects in a design makes it possible to update the model completely, correctly, and automatically when input parameter values are changed. Equations or relationships can be defined between the parameters, properties, attributes, features, components, or any other aspect of the design. Conditional equations can involve all aspects of the design. Using rules in a parametric model allows for conditionally defined equations. Parameter values can be input directly by the user, or they can result from fixed equations involving other parameters or even linked spreadsheet values.

In traditional parametric modeling, dimensional parameters drive geometry. These rules work with the parameter update mechanism of Autodesk Inventor and allow you to include much more sophisticated design intent into your models. ILogic extends the computational capabilities within Autodesk Inventor to include rules.
