Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019 for Designers is a comprehensive textbook that introduces the users to Autodesk Inventor 2019, a feature-based 3D parametric solid modeling software. All environments of this solid modeling software are covered in this textbook with thorough explanation of commands, options, and their applications to create real-world products. The mechanical engineering industry examples that are used as tutorials and the related additional exercises at the end of each chapter help the users to understand the design techniques used in the industry to design a product. Additionally, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that will improve the productivity and efficiency of the users.
After reading this textbook, the users will be able to create solid parts, sheet metal parts, assemblies, weldments, drawing views with bill of materials, presentation views to animate the assemblies, and apply direct modeling techniques to facilitate rapid design prototyping. Also, the users will learn the editing techniques that are essential for making a successful design.

Following are the additional features of this book:

• Comprehensive textbook consisting of 19 chapters organized in a pedagogical sequence.
• Detailed explanation of all concepts, techniques, commands, and tools of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019.
• Tutorial approach to explain the concepts.
• The first page of every chapter summarizes the topics that are covered in it.
• Step-by-step instructions that guide the users through the learning process.
• More than 54 real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials and projects.
• Additional information is provided throughout the book in the form of notes and tips.
• Self-Evaluation Test, Review Questions, and Exercises are given at the end of each chapter so that the users can assess their knowledge.
• Technical support by contacting [email protected].

Advanced Modeling Tools-I

Learning Objectives

After completing this chapter, you will be able to:

• Create various types of holes

• Create fillets on a model

• Chamfer the edges of a model

• Mirror features

• Create rectangular patterns of features

• Create circular patterns of features

• Create rib features

• Thicken faces or surfaces, offset faces or surfaces

• Emboss or engrave sketched entities on a feature

• Use the Decal tool to apply an image on a feature

• Assign different colors/styles to a model

Advanced Modeling Tools

Autodesk Inventor has a number of advanced modeling tools to assist you in creating a design. These advanced modeling tools appreciably reduce the time taken in creating the features in the models, thus reducing the designing time. For example, to create a hole in a cylindrical feature, one option is that while sketching the cylindrical feature, you sketch the hole also. But, to edit the dimensions of the hole, you will have to edit the complete sketch. Also, if the hole is drawn along with the sketch of the cylindrical feature, it will be extruded to the same distance. However, if you want the hole to terminate before the end of the cylindrical feature, you will have to draw another sketch. But, if you create the hole using the Hole tool, you can specify its depth and other parameters. The advanced modeling tools used in Autodesk Inventor are listed below.

1. Hole 13. Coil

2. Fillet 14. Thread

3. Chamfer 15. Shell

4. Mirror 16. Face Draft

5. Rectangular Pattern 17. Split

6. Circular Pattern 18. Boundary Patch

7. Rib 19. Stitch Surface

8. Thicken/Offset 20. Replace Face

9. Emboss 21. Delete Face

10. Decal 22. Move Face

11. Sweep 23. Sculpt

12. Loft 24. Extend Surface

Creating Holes

Ribbon: 3D Model > Modify > Hole

Holes are circular cut features that are created on anexisting feature. Holes are generally provided to accommodate fasteners in an assembly. You can create drilled, counterbore, spotface, and countersink holes using the Hole tool. On invoking this tool, the Hole dialog box will be displayed, as shown in Figure 6-1. You can also invoke the Hole dialog box from the Marking Menu which is displayed when you right-click anywhere in the graphics window. You can also specify whether a hole is a simple, tapped, ta...
