Just like AutoCAD, when drawing a line you can right-click and close the line.Just like AutoCAD, when pressing the Spacebar in Inventor repeats the last command.To me anything, whether big or small, that saves time is a good thing as even the little time savers, over a day or week can add up. Values entered become dimensions when accepted – dimensions are only created on the inputs you entered a value.īonus TIP: disable Persistent Dimensions if you don’t want dimensions created The key part of working with Dynamic Input is the TAB key toggles between the various options, whereas ENTER will accept the sizes.
Using the input boxes that appear as you are creating 2D geometry you to define the size of the object as you are creating it, which even creates the dimension. It “provides a Heads-Up Display (HUD) interface near the cursor to help you keep your focus in the sketching area.” These AutoCAD features are now a part of Inventor, they will save you time while sketching in Inventor.ĭynamic Input is a way of working with sketch geometry. Well the old veteran on the block still had a few tricks up its sleeve, a few gems that just leads to better productivity. Creating Geometryįor many years the Inventor development team ignored AutoCAD, as why would a state of the art 3D modeling package need to do anything like an outdated dinosaur like AutoCAD… I collected every nugget of information I could and put together a class, which I’ve presented the past two years at Autodesk University. The majority of the content is extracted from the 14+ years of my use with Inventor. You can find the first part to this series on Design & Motion:ĥ Inventor Sketching Tips You Need to Know Right Now!’ This is the second part of a series on sketching within Autodesk Inventor. tips that will make you more productive and get you building more robust models. Here are many tips, tricks, and time-savers that I have collected over the years…. Sketching is not always the most exciting part of creating your models but it is so important to robust models. Ahhh, sketching – the foundation of any 3D Parametric model,Īnd like a foundation if it falls down so does the entire building (model). If you feel a burning desire to write a blog post for Cadsetterout – please feel free to contact me. This weeks excellent guest post is from Inventor Guru, AU speaker and all round nice guy Mike Thomas.
