Right on! Thank you for actually saying out loud how non-intuitive some of the functions are in Inventor. As a newbie, it's comforting to know it's not just me missing something obvious. Not sure if I will ever need to use 3D Sketch but I am so glad to know what something I really wondered about is for explained in plain language. Autodesk needs to implement a Press-F1-for-Neil function because their existing F1 is pewp. Thanks, man!

@Neil3D7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! AutoCAD Electrical is something I've intentionally dodged over the years, it's an awful program. We're actually completely replacing it with EPLAN in my company, Autodesk have shown zero interest in developing AcacE so we're ditching it and moving on to a proper solution.
@jivincent51907 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the response and recommendation man! I shall have a good look at EPLAN. The reason that I was considering AutoCAD electrical is that it's somehow compatible with Inventor, and create the physical model in inventor based on the design in autocadE. The application I'm modelling is an EV, so I was looking for a solution that could save me time sketching all the cables( 3D sketch maybe lol), wires and connectors. I don't know whether EPLAN is capable of doing this.

Very good tutorial vid. Down to earth and practical. I've struggled the last few months with 3d sketchs in Inventor. I've come from ProE, which is difficult, and solidworks which is easy for 3d sketchs. The many articles I have read on the subject failed to mention little things like like selecting the planes on the Triad. Simple whenj you know but impossible to fathom when you dont. One thing that I'd like a little more knowledge on would be the include geometry feature. Why cant you select origin work features? Or can you? Keep up the good work. PS I like the music.

I can use constraints no problem on a single plane but they don't seem to have the same properties when there are multiple planes in 3d space. T-spline handles can't be manipulated either.

Approximately 17”,9” (arc offset about 3”) - y plane arc @45 deg. to offset X Plane offset 5” (arc offset 1.5”) then on offset X plane to front of bike strait for 4”. The 4” length will be split in half for welding to another tube. I can’t get it right each time I have tried it. Once you show me how to do this, I will be able to design all the tube frames.

Very good video, thanks for posting it this really clarified my understanding of 3d sketching. One thing that I was looking for in the video, was if I can create a sketch on a plane that I can then extrude to a cylinder, so that I can have one cylindrical part, and a separate part that would essentially attach to the cylinder so that I can maybe glue the two pieces together on the tangeant, do you have another video that shows that kind of use for 3D sketch?
@Neil3D9 жыл бұрын
Jason Wright Yea what you're you're trying to do their isn't a 3D sketch requirement. If you do a 2D sketch on a plane and you're extruding to a true cylindrical face, that'll be an emboss you want to do. That'll terminate the extrusion on the cylindrical face and wrap it around. Alternatively, if it is a separate part, it should really be done in an assembly as a separate part too!

+Alberto Ratmiroff Autodesk Fusion and Fusion 360 are the same thing. And what you've just watched here isn't Fusion! This is Autodesk Inventor, you could say it's the original 3D package from Autodesk and the big brother of Fusion. There may be books out there that teach general drafting skills but I've never had any contact with them, the best option is to decide which software program you want to specialise in and self teach yourself. Whether you go for 2D or 3D will depend on which industry you want to work in
