1. AUTODESK INVENTOR
TOOLS
ABOUT : UNDER THIS SECTION USER CAN USE THE VARIOUS
OPTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE EFFECT OF THE OPTION WILL
REMAIN IN THE ENTIRE SESSION OF THE AUTODESK INVENTOR.
MATERIALS: WE CAN ASSIGN THE MATERIALS PROPERTY
TO OUR MODEL. EVEN INDIVIDUAL PARTS CAN BE ASSIGNED
INDEPENDENT MATERIALS.
APPEARANCE: THIS SECTIONS IS USED TO APPLY
COLORS ONTO THE MODEL.

2. Tools continued…
Application options: This relates your software
with the rest of the computer. Various visual and hardware
settings are also there.
Document settings: The settings related to your
working environment are enrolled in this section.
E.g. dimension, units, tolerance etc

3. MANAGE
 Under this section we can create or modify the styles
 We can also make the parts and components (will be discussed in next
workshop).
 We can also join or mate two different components under this section.
 One can also import the caed geometry from the different caed software
and work over them here.

4. VIEW
CENTRE OF GRAVITY : you can find out it of your any geometry.
It can be even of your single part.
if material is not defined, it gives the value of
default material used for your geometry.

5. Visual style
 One can easily see the cad model in different way or in different styles if he
likes it so.

6. DEGREE OF FREEDOM
This feature represent the permissible movement
Possible for the given caed geometry.
This can also be implemented for the assembly files.
It is quite helpful in simulating our project.

7. Other visual options
 The other option include the to toggle between shadow , refection ,
Textures etc.
The figure below contains all the above options

8. ORTHOGRAPHIC AND PERSPECTIVE
VIEW
ORHTOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE
BOTH ARE SAME GEOMETRY AT THE SAME
ORIENTATION

9. OTHER GUI REALTED OPTIONS
 USER INTERFACE :
 CLEAN SCREEN
 CASCADE
 FULL NAVIGATION WHEEL: THIS PROVIDES US THE ABILITIY TO MAKE ALL
TYPE OF POSSIBLE MOVEMENTS ONTO OUR CAED GEOMETRY.
 SLICE GRAPHICS: THIS SLICES YOUR GEOMETRY , FROM A GIVEN PLANE
OR THE PLAIN YOU SELECTED.
