Note: Missing dimensions may be suitably assumed.
Exercise 1: Visualize orthographic and isometric views of 3D models/objects:
Open Autodesk Inventor by double clicking its shortcut on desktop or by selecting it from program list.
1. Use Open command to open an existing inventor part file (all the part files have an extension of .ipt. ipt is the
abbreviation for inventor part file).
2. Go to Public Documents>Autodesk>Inventor 2011>tutorial files>PivotBracket.ipt (or any other part file) and click
open. The part file will be active now.
3. Keep the cursor at any of the menu items for a while to see the details of operations that can be performed by using that
command.
4. Use the View cube displayed at the top right hand corner in the active area. Click the cube corners to snap the 3D model
to isometric views and click the faces for orthographic views. Click the Home button in the view cube to return to a
user-defined base view.
5. Use the Navigate command in the main View tab to zoom, pan, rotate (orbit) the 3D model. Click on the view face
command and select any face of this model. Click on this face again. New tools appear on this face. Bring the cursor to
the edit sketch tool to view the details of this face. Navigate command can also be accessed from the right side of active
sheet
6. Close the active file.
Exercise 2: Create a sketch with lines:
1. Click the projects command located in the launch panel and select the default project and click done. Launch panel is
part of the Get Started tab.
2. Create a new part file. In the Get Started tab, go to new > Metric > standard (mm).ipt and click OK. This will open the
sketch mode with a default file name Part1 (you can later save this part with a different name. It will have an extension
.ipt). If the sketch mode is not activated, then select sketch 1 from the browser window which is located on the left side
below the main tab.
3. Select a working plane (XY, XZ or YZ plane) under origins tab from the browser window to create a 2D sketch or else
use the default working plane.
4. Use the 2D sketch commands to create the following sketch using lines. Press esc button on the keyboard to exit out of
any command.
5. In order to view the different axes, right click the x-axis in
the browser window and select visibility. The x-axis will be
visible now. Similarly do this for the remaining axes and/or
for all the planes.
6. Add dimension to the sketch from the dimension command
located in the constrain command by clicking the line
(that need to be dimensioned) and then dragging the mouse.
7. Select the Finish sketch command to exit the sketcher after
completing the sketch and close the active file.

Exercise 3: Create a profile with tangencies:

1. Repeat steps 1 to 3 of exercise 2. To draw any construction feature: go
to Sketch>Format>Construction.
2. Use the 2D sketch commands to create the following sketch using lines,
circles and tangential arcs.
3. Select the show constraints command from the constrain
command located in the sketch panel of the sketch tab
(or else click right button of mouse and activate show all constraints).
4. Add constrain from the constrain command located in the sketch
panel of the sketch tab.
5. Add dimension to the sketch from the dimension command located
in the constrain command by clicking the line (that need to be
dimensioned) and then dragging the mouse.
6. Select the Finish sketch command to exit the sketcher.
7. Use the Extrude command to extrude the sketch as shown in the figure.
8. close the active file.
Exercise 4: Create a Drawing of a solid model:
1. Create a new drawing file. In the Get Started tab, go to new > Metric > ANSI(mm).idw and click OK. This will open a
new drawing with a default file name Drawing1 (you can later save this drawing with the same name as that of the part file
name or a different one. It will have an extension .dwg).
2. In the Place Views tab, click Base. This will open a window of Drawing View. Open an existing part file
Documents>Autodesk>Inventor 2011>tutorial files>PivotBracket.ipt and select a suitable scale, orientation and style
and click OK.
3. In the Place Views tab, click Projected and move the mouse at the left, right, top or bottom side of the base view to obtain
the corresponding views and then click right mouse button and click create.
4. In the Annotate tab, click Dimension. Add dimension to the drawing view by clicking the line/feature (that need to be
dimensioned) and then dragging the mouse to a suitable distance to place the dimension line.
5. Click right mouse button and select Done.
