Dear all!! - if you're looking for a good computer to run Inventor, you may then be interested to know that I have now developed and released the worlds most comprehensive FREE benchmarking test for Autodesk Inventor with a global online leaderboard. See the announcement video here th-cam.com/video/Xck3lvuMRjM/w-d-xo.html and check out the leaderboard here invmark.cadac.com/#/ - you're sure to find some amazing info on my leaderboard with regards to which systems are the best.
Crazy how I am a final year mechanical engineering student and this video taught me more about how to set up a project file correctly and use templates efficiently than my university degree ever did. Thanks.
2024 and this is so far the most useful video in TH-cam that breaks down the template creation. thank you and looking for more videos like this one for the presentation files in inventor .
Thanks Neil. I got volunteered to create ours about 10 years ago and muddled my way through. ( With all the auto populate stuff ) I needed to refresh my memory. After watching this I feel more confident. I wish this had been available last time. I'm going to watch your " Styles " video next. Thanks. Jim
Thank you so much, you cut through the dry talking head approach so many take and make this work for me...all of your videos and very effective and your humor is the icing on the cake!
Long time SolidWorks user, first day of Inventor 2016 and you saved it. It was pretty good, and by the way far better than suit and tie boring webcast !!! Super
Neil, simply: thank you. This was incredibly easy to follow. Thankfully, much, if not all, of Inventor 2016 still applies to Inventor 2019! and .idw still exists haha Until a month ago, I was only fluent with SW. I have subscribed to learn more about Inventor as my new position only uses Autodesk. Keep on keepin' on!
NEIL, THANKS A BILLION FOR YOUR SUPER-DEPTH VIDEOS!!! I LOVED YOUR QUICKSTART TUTORIALS (WITH THE GO KART), I EVEN SAVED THEM TO MY HARD DRIVE AND I REWATCH THEM EVERY TIME I PICK UP WORK WITH INVENTOR. I WATCHED SOME OTHER FIVE-MINUTE VIDEOS ON AUTODESK'S WEBSITE AND FORUMS ABOUT TITLE BLOCK. THEY USELESS, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T EVEN MATCH THE LATEST VERSION OF INVENTOR WORKFLOW. THANKS FOR THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION!!!
I just noticed that although you blanked out the company information for the beginning of the video, you do show their name when you edit their A3 title block. I enjoy your presentations and your online personality.
I already create my own drawing template before I find out this video. This is a very good video because many important points are highlighted to avoid us going for wrong steps during the creation process. One point I wish to add in is: the title block (not the border) we should create follow standard, for e.g. ISO7200 for my case.
you're the best teacher on web.I've got a question i created a costum teamplate and add it to the right folder in C: and in the project configuration but when i open it it still the default one. how can i fix this?
Excellent detail and content, very pleased I found your good self and your channel. Learnt a great detail today and looking forward to more of your videos, both past and future.
Hey there, this was indeed a spot on helpful video for me when you want to make your own complete title block with images, mass properties, scale, prompted description etc. so it at least LOOKS good :) I used Siemens NX at my Engineering study...but STILL loves inventor even more :D ...great job and really helpfull if you take the 37 minutes to watch!
Hi, thanks for the tips, that's very useful, Please advise Sr, How do we activate the grid ( A, B, C..on left-right and 1,2,3..bottom and above ) after made a new border?
Hi, your videos are amazing, I learned a lot. But I have one question. How to set Title border specific away from the border. let's say 5mm . is it always liners with border? is title board has more flexibility in the setting parameters?
I went and edited in AutoCAD. Saved the drawing separately and then I use that as my template now. However, new sheet doesn't copy over the AutoCAD blocks unless I click on the template sheet. It's strange. Might go back and create a full Inventor title block after my current project.
Awsome Video! A question, is it possible to put a Representation view field text. For example when I am making large models, I use and make multiple Representation view alot and I would like to when I am making the drawing and making multiple sheets that if it could ask for what representation name it wants to rename to?
I am having trouble fixing a small "sketch logo" on the top left corner of the border, if I change the sheet size it keep moving up or down, like it is keeping its distance from the bottom corner. If i dimension it to the upper corner to keep in position it moves anyway and it changes the dimension value, or it doesnt let me change the sheet size. Any ideas?
Hi, I have a question: how can I insert a title block in a generical point of the sheet? Thank you in advance and congratulations for your superlative tutorial!
After watching your video, everything has worked out just perfect. Thanks a lot! There is one more thing: Is there a way to implement the thickness of sheet metal of my part in the textbox?
You may already have the solution by now. But it can be done. You have to automate the iproperty field of the part. For example, under iproperties panel you can automate a filed called stock number and type this =. It will spit the sheet thickness in the field. You can then find the same "Sheet metal rule" property in the properties panel on the drawing like shown in the video. It will display the sheet metal thickness when you bring any sheet metal part in the drawing.

If I would like to have different margin and binding edge pending on the sheet format (A4, A3, A1 etc.) is it still possible to use only one scalable border or do I then need to create 1 border template per sheet format? I am looking at something like this (as per cad drawing standard NORSOK Z-005): Format | Sheet size (mm) | Margin (mm) | Binding edge (mm) A4 | 210x297 | 10 | 15 A3 | 297x420 | 10 | 15 A2 | 420x594 | 14 | 21 A1 | 594x841 | 20 | 30 A0 | 841x1189 | 28 | 42 Many thanks!
Oh my! The topic is so boring that i felt asleep the woke up and continued watching, then i felt asleep again. Now it’s 1 in the morning, hopefully i won’t fall asleep again
Prior solidworks user here... Is there a way to create a 2nd block on the same page? We would have our revision block in the upper right, and the main title block in the lower right. Because Inventor auto aligns the blocks... I am unsure how to do this.
Hello K G, I think you are asking about having multiple connection points on a border. In your case you want a upper right connection point defined on the border when inserting the revision block. Then have a second connection point at the lower right corner of the border - then insert the title block to snap to lower right corner. See Autodesk Inventor 2023 Help - To Work with Drawing Borders help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-785912A6-CB47-4496-A856-18584D5B0037 Seems the Inventor designers attempted to make it simple to insert title blocks but in my opinion, it is difficult with the vague documentation how it is done.
I see that we can link our Border to whatever sheet size we choose to use, BUT...is it possible to link the Title Block to whatever sheet size I pick AND for it to scale up as the sheet size increases? You see...in my workplace, we only print in letter size (Size A) and the boss prefers for me to place my drawings (parts) to their original scale (1:1) but of course most of the time these will overlap the size A sheet, and then I'd pick a bigger more appropriate sheet size and it'll fit, but then my title block shrinks and my dimensions are too small and same for the text....so yeah....that's my dilemma :'( P.s. I was watching videos on iLogic rules and parameters for this issue....but it is not clear to me if the people who made the video had already created different title blocks and borders for different sheet sizes...
Hi, I've learned a lot from your Inventor tutorials son thank you for that. Recently I made a custom DWG template (I've done some in the past few years), but out of nothing, Inventor takes years to open them. My workstation is only 3 years old and there is nothing wrong with it. have you ever experiences something like this? I'm using Inventor 2017 btw.
Hi Neil, i hope you can help me. I'm really new in inventor and i can't deactivate the shaded style from my draws. When i start a drawing, i pick the hidden line removed, but inventor still putting shaded draws. What can i do?
Did you also untick the box for the shaded option? (in drawing --> Base view --> in popup (drawing view) under style theres 3 boxes, the left one showing hidden lines, the middle one showing only visible lines the right one showing the shadings and colors). I'm fairly new too, so hope this helps..
Hi, tnx on this info..... i wouldn't able to figure this out on my on.... well, I got a bigger problem on my hand...( I`m working in solid edge for 10 years, this is first time with inventor..( got a new job) .., but i need a little more help from you, if you can explane........ the end game of drafting :) how to cretate a custome part list in default template...not to do each time on new draft, or I have to do it in assenbly..( exp..... columns in partlist ... from i property= title, subject( dimension), manager or project ( din standard of standard part or part number)....quantity,item number...... if you can explain, would be very grateful :)

"when you start to go that extra level, when you start to be a bro". lol. Great tutorial. Still applies in 2021
Perfect and complete tutorial!! How could some people give you a dislike for this video??!! Congratulations, thank you!!
Long time SolidWorks user, first day of Inventor 2016 and you saved it. It was pretty good, and by the way far better than suit and tie boring webcast !!! Super
I needed this. Not dry. Essential. Thank you!
It just can't be better explanation. BRILLIANT !
Thanks man! I've learnt alot in this video and i have successfully created my company's customized template. Kudos!
I do appreciate the time you spent doing this really good tutorial man, thanks a lot.
Thank u so much, interested in starting so soft during quarintine and just need a place to get started, thx for the support

im so glad this video still exists in 2021
Ohhh man...the other Inventor tutorials are just soooo boring, with their boooring voices...you sir deserve a medal or something!
I just noticed that although you blanked out the company information for the beginning of the video, you do show their name when you edit their A3 title block. I enjoy your presentations and your online personality.
Thanks for the videos you do. They help a ton.
I'll pretend I didn't see the company name on that Title block :D lol, great video!
It's awesome that you explain from very base of a issue
Its nice to know the proper ways to do things. can you go over BOM setup and its features.
Thanks again, Keep them coming
Thank you for usefull informations.

lovin it, thanks bro. more more more :)
you're the best teacher on web.I've got a question
i created a costum teamplate and add it to the right folder in C: and in the project configuration but when i open it it still the default one. how can i fix this?
Fantastic explanation. I perfectly understand how to get started now
Way better than my Inventor videos 😅
Excellent detail and content, very pleased I found your good self and your channel. Learnt a great detail today and looking forward to more of your videos, both past and future.
Awesome vid! good explanation and quick shows... thank you and keep up the good work!!
Excellent 30:00 is exactly what i was looking for
Hey Neil. Good work as usual!!
Excelent video, thank you
Really great! If you got the time do you know how I get in the Sheet metal thickness into the drawing ?
Thank you for such an outstanding video.
Do you know that how insert length and wide and thikness in partlist of inventor?
I love your explanations it's perfect man.
Hey there, this was indeed a spot on helpful video for me when you want to make your own complete title block with images, mass properties, scale, prompted description etc. so it at least LOOKS good :) I used Siemens NX at my Engineering study...but STILL loves inventor even more :D ...great job and really helpfull if you take the 37 minutes to watch!
Hi, thanks for the tips, that's very useful, Please advise Sr, How do we activate the grid ( A, B, C..on left-right and 1,2,3..bottom and above ) after made a new border?
I don't want to display the unit of mass in drawing inventor, what should I do?
Best 37 min i spent...
With refernce to multi-sheet drawings, is there a way to copy field text between title blocks without having to enter the text for each sheet?
Hi, your videos are amazing, I learned a lot. But I have one question. How to set Title border specific away from the border. let's say 5mm . is it always liners with border? is title board has more flexibility in the setting parameters?
Thanks for the tips👍
How does your mouse appear to be moving so smoothly? It's way easier to look at.
What about creating a smaller title for the 2nd sheet as you don't need all the approvals?
I went and edited in AutoCAD. Saved the drawing separately and then I use that as my template now.
However, new sheet doesn't copy over the AutoCAD blocks unless I click on the template sheet.
It's strange.
Might go back and create a full Inventor title block after my current project.
veeery nice Video :D
very compact and many Informations! thank you!
Awsome Video! A question, is it possible to put a Representation view field text. For example when I am making large models, I use and make multiple Representation view alot and I would like to when I am making the drawing and making multiple sheets that if it could ask for what representation name it wants to rename to?

If i dimension it to the upper corner to keep in position it moves anyway and it changes the dimension value, or it doesnt let me change the sheet size. Any ideas?
This was such a great video!!
Hi, great work but I want to ask about bend radius ? how can I link it with sheet metal parts in title box?
Great Video can you do a video on Tubes and Pipes PLEASE!!!
Hi Neil - you say this template doesn't suit a drawing office environment. Can you show us some tricks for a shared title block?
Hi, I have a question: how can I insert a title block in a generical point of the sheet? Thank you in advance and congratulations for your superlative tutorial!
I explain better my question: if the board is formed by two lines, as can constrain the title block to innermost line?
liked your video should be very helpful! I'm in America so it was nice hearing someone from across the pond lol
Awesome video!

A1 | 594x841 | 20 | 30
A0 | 841x1189 | 28 | 42
Many thanks!
Oh my! The topic is so boring that i felt asleep the woke up and continued watching, then i felt asleep again. Now it’s 1 in the morning, hopefully i won’t fall asleep again
you explain really good, nice nice
Hey, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question: can I set a distance between the border line and the title block?

Warum nennen Sie sich Elektronenschubser ? Ist das ein nickname ?
quick question, I'm on the version 2018 and the model folder on the left doesn't come up. where can I find it?
viseo's are brilliant pal
Great vid
Hi Neil, i hope you can help me. I'm really new in inventor and i can't deactivate the shaded style from my draws. When i start a drawing, i pick the hidden line removed, but inventor still putting shaded draws. What can i do?

I wish it was about part list.. don't know how to save a custom one and use it in another drawings.
These are great :) Love the style
So title blocks are just drawings, yes?
Helpful thanks
there are any way to put scale automatic, configured with the scale of the part
complete. So I put a few videos up to show what i've got so far, and i'm hoping that soone will take the ti to watch them, let
Your mouse leaves no trace on the screen.
How do you do this?
Excellent
great video
Really realy useful
Very Friendly.
Good Information.
Keep Sharing.
Thankyou..
Btw, could you to share your title block to us?
it help me a lot of
Awesome!
Thanks once more!
Thank you!!!
you are the best
What software are you using for your presentations?
Screen recording is X-split, then Sony Vegas 13 for editing. However I ditched Vegas and now use Adobe Premiere Pro.
Hi, tnx on this info..... i wouldn't able to figure this out on my on....
well, I got a bigger problem on my hand...( I`m working in solid edge for 10 years, this is first time with inventor..( got a new job) .., but i need a little more help from you, if you can explane........ the end game of drafting :) how to cretate a custome part list in default template...not to do each time on new draft, or I have to do it in assenbly..( exp..... columns in partlist ... from i property= title, subject( dimension), manager or project ( din standard of standard part or part number)....quantity,item number......
if you can explain, would be very grateful :)
PERFECT.
Thanks :3
You are great like Hugh Laurie!
Hi
I want to learn Autodesk Inventor to join world skill competition some one pls help me i dont have enough knowledge to learn that software

soil machine dynamics.... was that the business you were trying to hide :)
Ha yea can't remember why I was hiding it, probably just to avoid any potential stalkers calling the office asking after me but I don't work there anymore so it doesn't matter now!
