Autodesk Inventor Factory Assets with Parameters

David Fetz — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:39:17 +0000

We take a look at making our factory assets more intelligent by working with parameters. In this example I create clearance zones for a CNC machine. Adding this peice of information will aid me detecting possible clearance problems within my design.

3D Annotations in Inventor 2012

Ben Curtin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:44:17 +0000

One step closer to paperless? There is a 3D annotation tool on Autodesk Labs that works in Inventor 2012. This could be the next step to paperless manufacturing, but at a minimum will allow engineers and designers properly define a model prior to any 2D detail drawings being created. When it comes to design intent, this will allow a more collaborative design and detailing process.

AutoCAD surfaces and Inventor Fusion

Ben Curtin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:01:52 +0000

Inventor Fusion is most commonly associated with solid geometry editing and working in a complementary nature with Autodesk Inventor. What most people don’t know is that Fusion can work with AutoCAD as well as with surface geometry. In this example we take a look at starting a surface model in AutoCAD, refining the design in Fusion, stitching together as a solid, and then returning the design to AutoCAD.
