Features: This book is a reference guide on the practical application techniques of Autodesk Inventor Professional R8 in mechanical design within AIP (Autodesk Inventor Professional). For Autodesk Inventor R8 in AIS (Autodesk Inventor Series), as most functions are identical to the former, it also holds reference value. To accommodate readers using lower versions, when encountering operations different from R8, the author has split the descriptions into separate sections for R6/R7 and R8, and provided model files available in Inventor R6/R7. The book's distinctive feature lies in its detailed explanations through numerous practical examples, covering everything from design condition research to the model expression of design concepts, engineering drawing processing, and ultimately design completion. Thus, it guides readers in using Inventor correctly for mechanical design. The book highlights the advantages of Inventor and provides specific technical methods to leverage these strengths, while also introducing Inventor's shortcomings and offering solutions under existing conditions to effectively use Inventor for mechanical design tasks. The book primarily focuses on Inventor's application techniques, while also discussing how to express design thinking within CAD software and how to truly utilize CAD software for assisted design. Therefore, the concepts presented in this book hold practical significance for all mechanical CAD software users. The book is accompanied by three CDs, including all additional files, as well as compressed files prepared for readers using Inventor R6/R7 versions. Additionally, it provides a 30-day trial version installation disc for Inventor R8.
