AutoCAD Training Overview
Inventor 2009 Sheet Metal Design introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with AutoDesk Inventor. The topics presented in this training guide enable students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process.The structure of the guide follows the standard sequence of design stages in Inventor. That is, to create sheet metal parts, edit them, generate flat patterns, and to document the designs in drawings.
