This lecture Autodesk inventor provides knowledge of part documentation. The main contents of the chapter consist of the following Parametric modeling filesmodes, concurrent engineering, model data associativity, documentation drawings, drawing views, drawing annotation.
Part Documentation Parametric Modeling Files/Modes Part – used to create individual parts made of the same material Drawing – used to create 2D drawings from a 3D model Assembly – used to link multiple parts into assemblies or sub-assemblies Presentation – used to create exploded assembly drawings and parts list Concurrent Engineering Model Data Associativity Associativity refers to links set up between the 3D CAD database and supporting applications Changes in model reflected in supporting applications Unidirectional change in model reflected in support application, but not vice versa Bidirectional changes in either model or support application data will affect the other Documentation Drawings 2D drawings derived from 3D model Model-drawing link can either be: unidirectional (change model drawing changes) bidirectional (change drawing model changes, and vice versa) Drawing Views Base view (usually Front) Set scale Other views derived from base view Dependent on base view Views include principal, isometric, auxiliary, section views Drawing Annotation Parametric (model) dimensions can be displayed Can also add nonparametric (reference) dimensions Change parametric dimension on drawing model geometry changes (if bidirectional) Part Documentation ...
