Product Description
Parametric Modeling with Autodesk Inventor 2010 contains a series of fifteen tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Inventor, solid modeling, and parametric modeling. It uses a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the import parametric modeling techniques and concepts. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. Other featured topics include sheet metal design, motion analysis, 2D design reuse, collision and contact, and the Autodesk Inventor 2010 Certified Associate Examination.

Autodesk Inventor 2010 Certified Associate Examination

The content of Parametric Modeling with Autodesk Inventor 2010 has been expanded to cover the performance tasks that have been identified by Autodesk as being included on the Autodesk Inventor 2010 Certified Associate examination.

Only half way through the book but find it extreamly easy to follow the tasks due to the well written explanations. The book/tutorial uses good sized images and easy to read print, unlike similar books.
The book takes into acount growth & understanding as you get through tutorials so as to cover more techniques and methods.

An excellent inventor primer, makes the other more detailed books on the subject understandable. One or two more complicated examples from industry with analysis would add to the value.

I have read a number of texts about Autodesk Inventor, many are extensive yet difficult to follow. This is one of the most logically set-out and written, an indication of which is that one can follow the sequence by reading without actually using Inventor. It is ideal for beginners and students. it covers all the functions of Inventor but some may find it insufficiently detailed and require an extra more advanced text to follow. The examples are excellent.

It is a good learning book which takes a good step by step approach.
There are some exercises that will test you if you cannot read a drawing but that's part of learning as some exercises you approach differently to how in 2d and 3d drawing.
