Question, when you were placing the bolted connection why didn't you run the bolt from the other side since the carrier we drew had threaded holes? Just curious if that's normal to thread all the way through then put a Nut on there, it just seems like the nut takes up extra room unless its for strength reasons. not that you would know lol it was just a template for learning.
I’m a sophomore in high school and I love you videos, inventor is amazing it lest my thought and ideas come to life it’s amazing. So thank you for showing me how to use it to build my world
You didn't waste a moment did you? It took me a fair bit longer than an hour and nine minutes, but I'm really glad I did follow and draw along. (Lots of pausing and winding back, but you made me draw something straight out of the box). It all happens at a cracking pace and there's no time to lose interest. No umming and erring, no distracting music, just get stuck in and have a go. I've now subscribed and clicked that bell. Thanks very much.
I was nervous ! looking at inventor as I need a new concept to come to life and thought there is no way I can learn this stuff, recommended a course which involved inventor to save me paying out for the work to be done by a design company. Anyway found this guy! felt like I was in my bedroom on the pc listening to my best mate show me the layman's way to learn and have a laugh along the way. When he started the innuendo,s I had to pause as I was laughing so much. BRILLIANT! explaining things and it,s repetition, repetition keep going over this and trying again and again, you will get there and before you know it, it becomes muscle memory. I have now designed a cockl extension, 3D Printed and the Mrs is very happy Thank you!
Brilliant tutorial, man. I honestly was not a fan of Inventor having just learned AutoCAD but you've shown that this program is capable of so much. Spent all morning creating and assembling parts. Thank you so much for this.
Really, really appreciate this video. I was floundering around for hours the other day trying to create a model and a large amount of time wasted was due to lack of knowledge of ease of use techniques within the program.
Absolutely amazing thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I was gonna skip the sketch part but I’m so glad that I did not skip. This is one of the few instances where TH-cam is really TH-cam university
Unbelievable video. First one from you I've seen. Currently studying Mechanical Engineering but only being taught Autocad. As project i wanted to learn Inventor and use it to build my bridge project. Was struggling with things like constraints, The Rotate/Pan feeling janky and some other tools. Far too many things to list but i learned at least 30 really helpful tips. Being from the UK too having metric sizing and showing me how to change that helped. Including the parts list etc. I've worked maintenance roles offshore and we used sap for all our stock so seeing the relationship from design side was nice too.
Great teacher. Very clear speech and good explanations. V5 user here, but I am buying an Inventor license and want to learn. 'Wanna know if you can view parts and assemblies in perspective, rather than isometric. Also, can you use these UCSs to sketch on, rather than just planes, and does a UCS have 6 degrees of freedom that can be edited ?
Neil, this is an excellent tutorial. The only thing I am stuck on is mating the holes from the spoke and the disc despite following the steps. I'm sure I will work out a way! Many thanks.
I had a similar issue trying to constrain the hole of the spoke and the hole on the disc (around ca 50:10) . What solved it for me was to select the arc of the extrusion of "my carrier" (rather than the hole itself) and the hole in the disc brake.
It's great to be able to do a random part for 3D printing, but I think what everyone, including me, needs is to learn the "workflow" of Inventor. Example: I have a degree in robotics, I make a lot of stuff, but trying to integrate inventor into massive products from total scratch, do drawings, then fit electronics and wiring, etc for a total project. That's what people like me want to learn and see more of. I can always get pieces of project done, but can never get everything to work together for a finished product from ground up.
I've been using 3Dmax on and off for the past ten years. Having gotten more into the design side of things, namely 3D printing Max wasn't accurate enough. Anyways i was told about inventor, and stumbled across your TH-cam thingy yesterday. Your resource is invaluable, I'll be working through tutorials and listerning to your every word. From a Fellow Northerner ( I'm near Middlesbrough).
I am new to Inventor coming from Revit and Fusion world, and It's so Fun watching you ! please keep them coming, the Modelling full tutorials :) Thank you for your hard work and sharing your knowledge with us :) Joined your Elite Fleet :))
Excellent tutorial to get me off the ground and running! Will definitely be going through all of your videos for more pointers and lessons. Thank you so much!
Great video Neil, I'm glad people like you are taking time to show us how to do things. I'm picking up little tips also, watching how you do things. I can tell you've learned little lessons too. Thanks for taking the time!!
At 53:00 my version of inventor (2018) doesn't have this option to change the Solution I had to specifically select the outer semi circle of the axle and the center of the piece hole, as you did in the previous tutorial. Any other selection wouldn't work.
I would love for you to make a video series going through each of the design accelerators in depth. 1 video for each. Most videos on TH-cam that deal with the design accelerators are gear boxes, bolted connections, or the more common ones. I've yet to find a good resource that explains them all with comprehensive explanation.
Thanks but I finished with tutorials a long time ago. They take years to build views, people only watch a few seconds of the part they care about and you get abuse for talking too much when the topic requires detailed discussion so I called it a day a couple of years ago
@@Neil3D 😢 dang, love you videos though. If you have any resources I can check out for those answers let me know. Also, shameless plug, graduating college this month for mechanical engineering, no formal job offers yet so I'm avaliable 😁
I got to tell you I don't know what I would do without my Logitech g602... It's got six thumb buttons and next to the left mouse click it has two more to allow you to either increase or decrease the DPI or whatever else you want to assign to those buttons,
I'm watching this video to find out how inventor works as I need to use it for my internship in a few months but I do already have experience with different CAD programs. And I was wondering why you tapped the hole in the carrier if you were going to end up using a nut anyway? Is it just to make sure the bolt can't freely rotate and damage the washer/part?
Damn. I'm making my first foray into Inventor coming from onshape and this is frustrating. Sure it works, but this whole thing would have taken me 5 minutes to derive in the rotor and model the sprocket directly off the hole pattern and 1 fasten mate at the assembly level it would have been done. Onshape gets trashed by traditional designers but this is the kind of thing that is sooo much faster with multi-part modeling.
can you provide a comparison of fusion 360 vs. inventor vs. solidworks? I would like to focus on one for mechanical design as a hobbyist but with some intent to do light mfg.
You forgot the keyway... :D And thank you for the videos. I start a new job soon and I have all my certs in solidworks, but they use inventor. The videos are helping me out a lot!
Hello sir, Your videos are really helpful would like to ask are you using license copy of inventor or you are using student version. Does it ok to use student version to upload videos on you tube
These videos are great with excellent explanations for the functions! I've only used AutoCAD LT and dabbled in Fusion 360, but am looking to move towards Inventor here in the next couple of weeks, so your videos have been a great learning tool for me. I have a question for you about the carrier part file. When you made the carrier dimensions adaptive in the assembly drawing, will the adapted dimensions created by the constraints between the carrier and the sprocket be automatically updated in the carrier's part file or is it only adapting the carrier dimensions in that specific assembly?
Hi, I have followed your excellent tutorial but, when creating a drawing and selecting 'base' and orientating to be happy with a side view bottom left and then project/drag up to plan view....the plan view is showing me the bottom of the product instead of the top! Do you know why it is doing this and how i can fix? Thank you.
Hi great video ! if i wanted to add a 3d texture of say bricks on the outside walls of a HO scale model house i want to 3d print so the bricks actually show up on the final STL i export ...how would i do this or other 3d textures in inventor that will be on the stl i export for printing ?
Hi. Is there still a password to access the files as mentioned in the description "Password for the Data Vault is on the community tab for all members." I can't find it. Thank you.
So now I'm wondering if there are any plugins or modules that allow for aerodynamics testing like a virtual wind tunnel with the fluid dynamics to go along with it I suppose hydro would be available as well if you can affect the density and other material properties... I suppose you could also include in the query if you will the material velocity and other Sonic Dynamics as well. Wouldn't that be cool if you could perform virtual non-destructive testing with ultrasound and any current stuff like that?
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial! I'm looking to download the files, however I can't find the password for it. Is it some place I can retrieve the files?
Those bolts should come through the sprocket side and just lock tight to the hub that's already threaded. Small bolt 1 washer, no nut. I would look at a motorcycle rear sprocket like on a 600cc sport bike.
Please Help Me. I tryed sketching this part 5 times and always it can't adapt at the end. (Yes i turned it adaptive) When i am trying to constrain The axis of hole in the created part with the axis of hole in the other part it always say the assembly cannot be solved. I didnt gave measure to the lenght of this "arm". When i am in the sketch i can move it as i wannt , shorter longer no problem but in the Asembly section that part cant adapt to proper lenght.
I had the same problem. Try constraining the axis of the hole on the disk (click on the hole surface) with the axis of the semicircular part of the carrier leg (click on the outer surface, not the hole). If you pick the hole you are trying to constrain a hole axis that is defined as coaxial to the outer surface. It becomes like a second level adaptation.
Bedankt voor de tip! De truc is dus om het gat (hole) op de centreerring te centeren op de as van de ronding, en dan bij het toepassen van de constrain pak je het zijvlak (as) van de ronding om op te centeren.
Hi, i want to know how i can enable the tools Project Geometry, Modify, Pattern, Constrain, and Insert, since they are all greyed out and i cant access to them, is there a way in which i can enable them?
I got mine jus recently, it’s legit don’t worry. Enter M0nkrus in google and u should see the site, tho it’s in Russian I use google to automatically translate it. The setup was straightforward as well.

every thing from you
I wish I had such an excellent tutor back in the university. You Sir are great, thank you so much!!!
