Instruction begins with the basic functions like the Quick Start Menu and builds to more advanced concepts of 3D part construction of single part solid models. Sketches and profiles are discussed in depth, as well as the appropriate application of these features. You’ll increase your productivity by learning how to fully constrain your sketches and make them easy to edit. Other time saving tools include projecting and mirroring geometry and linking Excel spreadsheets to control part geometry. You’ll also gain experience with powerful tools like loft, shell, rib and array, just to name a few. With over five hours of concentrated, project driven instruction, you’ll master the skills you need to create dynamic and highly functional single part solid models.

Well done, but not as much info as I expected,

This review is from: Accelerated Productivity R8: Autodesk Inventor Release 8 Interactive Tutorial by TEDCF (CD-ROM)
I feel the CD is well-produced and very informative. I watched most of the videos during a cross-country flight and felt ready to go with Inventor 8 after I finished. However, for the cost of a very expensive book, the amount of material covered seems too small for me. To get up to speed quickly, it's great, but you'll need another book for help with the details. (I guess that's why they have more CDs in the series :-)).

accelerated productivity,

This review is from: Accelerated Productivity R8: Autodesk Inventor Release 8 Interactive Tutorial by TEDCF (CD-ROM)
I've been using Amazon.com for many years and purchased many books, but I have never written a review before. After trying this out I was compelled to do so.I've been using Autocad for about 10 yrs., and when Inventor came out and I saw it demoed I was very impressed and got excited. I got a hold of the first book I could get my hands on and started reading. I tried a demo copy of inventor and used the tutorial. I never quite got my head around it. Autodesk says you can be productive with Inventor in one day. Well I must be the dumbest person walking around on this planet because here it is years later and it hasn't happened to me. I'm the only one doing production drawings at my location and I just don't have time to learn it at work. I don't use Inventor at work, but we got Inventor r5 with mechanical 6. Ended up using just the Autocad portion of it because of the learning curve involved for the mechanical side. Never had any formal training, but I did try to learn on my own at the house without success. Well true to form I ordered Mechanical Design thinking maybe I might learn a little something. This is a video audio CD. When I finally started it up and started watching, I thought "now this is interesting". He breaks it down into 5 to 15 min. chunks and he does something that is very rare in teaching nowadays, he actually explains why and shows why it is better to do it one way over another way. He explains that downstream by doing it this way makes the model easier to modify. I'm thinking, now this is really good. I discovered that he had produced another tutorial ahead of this one, called Accelerated Productivity. I ordered this one also. When I first started I didn't start up Inventor, I just watched and listened to both the videos. Now I've got Inventor open along with the CD and I'm almost through with Accelerated Productivity. For the first time I think I'm finally getting a handle on this Inventor. If there is anyone at Autodesk that reads this, then take a lesson from Mr. David Melvin at TEDCF, because this is the way that training videos should be made. Mr. Melvin and the people at TEDCF, I want to thank you because I truly appreciate what you have done. The only downside, and it is very minor one is the forward and backward navigation within a lesson. Once you get used to it's not too bad. As they say in the PC magazines "5 stars, highly recommended".

Amazing!,
By DIANA L DEWALL (CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accelerated Productivity R8: Autodesk Inventor Release 8 Interactive Tutorial by TEDCF (CD-ROM)
This is course is amazing! I was surprised to find that a video tutorial is actually better than a book because it is at my fingertips on the computer desktop at all times. I've used AutoCAD for the past eight years. I just got a job for a company that uses Autodesk Inventor, so I took it upon myself to purchase this course. Several of the engineers have used Inventor for years, but now they're coming to me with questions. This course has been very helpful for me. Thank you!
