How To Make A Drawing In Inventor

This workshop will teach now to create professional technical drawings. We will go over base and projected views, how to fully dimension a part and section a part. To read more about applied science drawings, encounter: Engineering Drawings

For this tutorial, download the function: bracketDrawing.ipt

bracketDrawing.ipt:

Part one: Creating a drawing file

Download and open bracketDrawing.ipt from the website.

Create a new .idw file. and click the leftmost push "Base". If you do not accept bracketDrawing.ipt open you will have to scan for the right file. Modify the calibration to v:1.

Click ok or click on the place where yous want the function to be.

This automatically starts the "Projected" tool which allows you to place different 2D and 3D views of the part. Click to create a top and right view. When finished, right click and cull create.

Double click on the superlative right view and select shaded to brand it a solid looking function. To move individual views around on the page, click them once to select them, then click and elevate the ruby-red dotted box surrounding them.

Function 2: Dimensioning Parts

When dimensioning a office, you want information technology to be "fully dimensioned". This means y'all give enough information so that every feature is defined without beingness redundant.

Go to the Annotate tool bar and select general dimension at the tiptop left.

Click the following lines just like you would when you dimension sketches.

Keep dimensioning until y'all take washed the following:

In drawings, it is useful to include center marks for holes. Utilize the following control and click both the inner circle and outer height curve:

Now use the "Chamfer" tool to mark the chamfer. Click 2 of the subconscious lines to create a chamfer annotation. The first line you click is the noted one and the second is the reference ane.

This view is now has all the dimensions it needs.

Part iii: Dimensioning the Remaining Views

This view has 2 flanges that stick upwards and are the same thickness. Dimension the thickness of 1 of these flanges and and then click again on the number to bring up the post-obit window:

The symbol "<<>>" is the numeric value that is being dimensioned. Blazon "X2" after the "<<>>" to show that there are ii flanges of the same thickness.

Add the other 2 dimensions shown below:

Annotation: We don't give the dimension of the full tiptop because we already gave that in the last view. Don't repeat dimensions between views.

Nosotros will now dimension the elevation view. Select the "Hole and Thread" tool from the Comment bill of fare.

Now click the dotted line in the meridian view to give the bolt information. This information is available since we used the "hole" tool when modeling the role.

Center mark the pigsty.

Function iv: Editing Drawing Data

We volition now change the information in the lesser right of the drawing. This is used to keep track of blessing and who has seen or edited the part. To edit this information, click the Inventor icon at the very top correct and select iProperties.
