In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a simple part design using Inventor Autodesk. Follow along step-by-step to build this part model from scratch.

1. Step 1: Create a New Part File

   • Open Inventor Autodesk and start a new part file.

   
   

   

   
   

   • Choose the appropriate units and template for your project.

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

2. Step 2: Sketch the Base Feature

   • Start by sketching the base feature of your part on the YZ plane.
   • Use lines, arcs, circles, and other sketching tools as necessary.
   • Ensure the dimensions and relationships are defined accurately.

   
   

   

   
   

3. Step 3: Extrude the Base Feature

   • Extrude the sketch to create the initial solid geometry of your part.
   • Specify the extrusion distance and direction based on your design requirements.

   

   
   

   
   

4. Step 4: Add Additional Features

   • Sketch and extrude additional features such as holes, cuts, or protrusions.
   • Use reference geometry and constraints to maintain design intent.

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

5. Step 5: Apply Fillets and Chamfers

   • Round off sharp edges and corners by applying fillets or chamfers.
   • Specify the desired radius or distance for each feature.

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

6. Step 6: Assign Appearance

   • On the Tools tab ->Material and Appearance panel -> click Appearance.
   • Select the component, feature, or face with the appearance to change.
   • In the Appearance Browser, in Document Appearances, pause the cursor over different appearances to preview them on the selection.
   • To apply an appearance to the selection, click it.

   
   

   

   
   

7. Step 7: Save and Export the Part

   • Save your part file in the appropriate format.
   • Consider exporting to formats compatible with other CAD software or for 3D printing if necessary.

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

8. Step 8: Review and Finalize

   • Review the completed part model to ensure it meets your design requirements.
   • Use the software's analysis tools to check for errors or invalid geometry.
   • Address any issues to ensure the model is robust and error-free.
   • Make any final adjustments or refinements as needed.

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

9. Step 9: Conclusion
