Driving Automation and Parametric Modeling in Inventor
Automating aspects of the CAD design process should always be your target as an Inventor user. With automation techniques, the utilization of existing geometry and parameters, model updates, and design changes can be accomplished much more efficiently. By applying design intent with these features and methodologies early in the process, models will update and change as expected, without the need for extensive rework.
In this chapter, you will cover how equations and parameters are used to drive design intent in a model, and how to apply iMates, iFeatures, iParts, and iAssemblies to reuse existing digital features, parts, and assembly data throughout your designs.
In this chapter, we will ...
