Autodesk Inventor Professional 2026 for Designers with Videos, 26th Edition

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2026 for Designers with Videos is a comprehensive book that introduces the users to Autodesk Inventor 2026, a feature-based 3D parametric solid modeling software. All environments of this solid modeling software are covered in this textbook with a 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 book, 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.In this edition, the author has covered information related to rectangular and circular patterns. Also, users will be able to learn about the new text editor and include and exclude selectors. Additionally, users will learn how the sheet metal environment integrates the property panel interface to streamline the design process.Salient FeaturesComprehensive book consisting of 20 chapters organized in a pedagogical sequence.Detailed explanation of all concepts, techniques, commands, and tools of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2026.Step-by-step instructions that guide the users through the learning process.More than 54 real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials and projects.Self-Evaluation Test, Review Questions, and Exercises are given at the end of the chapters.Table of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Drawing Sketches for Solid ModelsChapter 3: Adding Constraints and Dimensions to SketchesChapter 4: Editing, Extruding, and Revolving the SketchesChapter 5: Other Sketching and Modeling OptionsChapter 6: Advanced Modeling Tools-IChapter 7: Editing Features and Adding Automatic Dimensions to SketchesChapter 8: Advanced Modeling Tools-IIChapter 9: Assembly Modeling-IChapter 10: Assembly Modeling-IIChapter 11: Working with Drawing Views-IChapter 12: Working with Drawing Views-IIChapter 13: Presentation ModuleChapter 14: Working with Sheet Metal ComponentsChapter 15: Introduction to Stress AnalysisChapter 16: Introduction to Weldments *Chapter 17: Miscellaneous Tools *Chapter 18: Working with Special Design Tools *Chapter 19: Introduction to Plastic Mold Design *Index (* For free download)Free Teaching and Learning ResourcesCADCIM Technologies provides the following free teaching and learning resources with this book:Technical support by contacting techsupport@cadcim.comPart files used in examples, exercises*, and illustrationsInstructor Guide with solution to all review questions and exercises *(* For faculty only)About the AuthorsCADCIM Technologies, Prof. Sham Tickoo of Purdue University Northwest, and the team of dedicated contributing authors at CADCIM Technologies are committed to bring you the best books, eBooks, and free teaching and learning resources on CAD/CAM/CAE, GIS, Civil, Animation & VFX, and related technologies.
