This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important concepts of Engineering Graphics, as well as in-depth discussions of parametric feature-based CAD techniques. The chapters in this text proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing basic shapes to making complete sets of engineering drawings. This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students and professionals.

By the end you will be fully prepared to take and pass the Autodesk Inventor Certified User Exam.

Using step by step tutorials, this text will teach you how to create and read engineering drawings while becoming proficient at using the most common features of Autodesk Inventor.

Includes examples of how to create an animated assembly, apply dimension to a drawing, calculate shear and bending values, and more! ANSI and ISO standards are discussed when appropriate, introducing students to both so they learn appropriate techniques and national standards.Īutodesk Inventor 2017 and Engineering GraphicsĪutodesk Inventor 2017 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach will teach you the principles of engineering graphics while instructing you on how to use the powerful 3D modeling capabilities of Autodesk Inventor 2017. Exercises, sample problems and projects appear in each chapter, providing examples of software capabilities and giving students an opportunity to apply their own knowledge to realistic design situations. This book includes the following features: Step-by-step format throughout the text allows students to work directly from the text to the screen and provides an excellent reference during and after the course. The content of the book goes beyond the material normally presented in an engineering graphics text associated with CAD software to include exercises requiring students to design simple mechanisms. Sample problems, end-of-chapter projects, and a variety of additional exercises reinforce the material and allow students to practice the techniques described. Chapter test questions help students assess their understanding of key concepts. Using a step-by-step format, Engineering Design Graphics with Autodesk Inventor 2017 shows students how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document designs.
