Autodesk® Inventor® 2027: Introduction to Solid Modeling provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. You will learn the key skills and knowledge required to design models using Autodesk Inventor, starting with conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.

Topics Covered in Chapters 1 to 15 (Part 1)

• Understanding the Autodesk Inventor software interface

• Creating, constraining, and dimensioning 2D sketches

• Creating and editing the solid base 3D feature from a sketch

• Creating and editing secondary solid features that are sketched and placed

• Creating equations and working with parameters

• Manipulating the display of the model

• Resolving feature failures

• Duplicating geometry in the model

Topics Covered in Chapters 16 to 28 (Part 2)

• Placing and constraining/connecting parts in assemblies

• Manipulating the display of components in an assembly

• Obtaining model measurements and property information

• Creating presentation files (exploded views)

• Modifying and analyzing the components in an assembly

• Simulating motion in an assembly

• Creating parts and features in assemblies

• Creating and editing an assembly bill of materials

• Working with projects

• Creating and annotating drawings and views

• Customizing the Autodesk Inventor environment

Prerequisites

• Access to the 2027.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this learning content. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this content. The practices and files included are not compatible with prior versions of the software (e.g., 2026).

• Autodesk Inventor 2027: Introduction to Solid Modeling is designed as an introductory course that does not require previous experience with 3D modeling or CAD software. However, familiarity with the Windows operating system is required and having a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.
