Engineering Design and Graphics with Autodesk® Inventor™ 2009

For courses in Engineering Design

Using a step-by-step format, this book introduces Autodesk Inventor 2009 and shows students how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document designs. This edition features the addition of chapter test questions, helping students assess their understanding of key concepts. Sample problems, end-of-chapter projects and a variety of additional exercises reinforce the material and allow students to practice the techniques described. The content of the book goes beyond the material normally presented in an engineering graphics text associated with CAD software to include exercises requiring students to design simple mechanisms.
