1-8: PART MODELING: SKETCHING
To create parts you must first create a fully constrained profile sketch. When you create a new part Inventor
automatically enters the sketch mode. You need to choose a work plane and then create a profile using the
draw commands. It is essential that the sketch is fully constrained both geometrically and diametrically.
These constraints should be added as you proceed with the sketch. Once the sketch is complete a modeling
feature such as extrude can be applied to create the 3D Model. The centre point of the sketch should be
retained and used as a geometric constraint point in the process to fully constrain the sketch
Inventor applies common geometric constraints to sketched entities automatically as they are created. This
feature can be controlled through the application options. There is also an auto constrain option which
should only be used as a last resort if the user cannot determine a missing constraint. A more effective
process is to use the Degrees of Freedom glyphs to illustrate which geometry is unconstrained, partially
constrained or fully constrained. As constraints are applied to the geometry and degrees of freedom
eliminated, the glyphs disappear. Likewise, as constraints are deleted and degrees of freedom added, the
glyphs appear.
DRAW COMMANDS:
Line: Creates line segments, and arcs that are tangent or perpendicular to geometry. Line segments and
arcs are individual curves . A coincident constraint joins thier endpoints. When you move a curve, all
joined segments and arcs also move. Circle: Creates circular shapes either from a center point and
radius, or tangent to three lines.
9
Rectangle: Creates rectangles as line segments.
Arc: Creates arcs using three points on the arc, a center point and two endpoints, or tangent to a curve at
its endpoint. Arcs can also be drawn by holding the shift key and dragging the mouse whilst in the line tool.
10
Slot: Creates user parameter based slots.
Spline: Creates splines through control vertices which in effect is a best ‘mean’ fit spline between points
or interpolates through points.
Fillet and Chamfer: Create a fillet or chamfer between two line entities.
Points: Creates points that can be used for positioning objects.
Ellipse : Polygon:
11
1-9: PART MODELING: SKETCHING CONSTRAINTS
GEOMETRIC CONSTRAINTS:
Common Constraints are added automatically whilst creating sketches. The control settings for this are
available in the application options. Additional constraints can then be added. This constraints can be
edited.
Coincident Constraint
The Coincident constraint places objects or points in contact with another object.
Collinear Constraint
The Collinear constraint lines up a line object or ellipse axis on the same line as another line object or ellipse axis.:
Perpendicular Constraint
The Perpendicular constraint constrains objects or edges to be always perpendicular.
Horizontal Constraint
The Horizontal constraint makes an object line up parallel to the x-axis. Two points may also line up horizontally.
Vertical Constraint
The Vertical constraint makes an object line up parallel to the y-axis. Two points may also line
up vertically.
Parallel Constraint
The Parallel constraint constrains objects or edges to be always parallel.
Equal Constraint
The Equal constraint makes two objects equal in length or radius.
Concentric Constraint
The Concentric constraint places arcs and circles so that they share the same center point.
Fix Constraint
The Fix constraint anchors any geometry or point in place within the part sketch. You should
use this constraint sparingly.
Symmetric Constraint
The Symmetric constraint creates a “mirror” constraint between two similar objects. This constraint relies on a line to serve as a centerline about which objects are to be symmetrical. You need to specify the centerline only once during the command cycle.
Smooth Constraint
The Smooth constraint creates a continuous curvature (G2) condition between a spline and another sketch object, such as a line, arc, or spline. The G2 condition brings the curve out past the tangency point to create a smooth transition from one curve into the next.
12
EDITING CONSTRAINTS:
Constraints can be deleted by clicking the required constraint icon. All constraints or individual constraints can be viewed from the right click context menu option.
DIMENSION CONSTRAINTS:
Dimensions types are added automatically depending on which entities you are selecting. These dimensions can be:
Linear : Horizontal or Vertical
Angular:
Radial: Diameter or radius.
Driven: Surplus to process.
13
1-10: PART MODELING: FEATURES
CREATING PART MODELING FEATURES
EXTRUDE:
Extruded features are building blocks for creating and modifying solid bodies within a part. When
created in assemblies, they represent a specific manufacturing process such as material removal. You
specify the direction, depth, taper angle, and termination method for the extrusion. Extruded features
can create new bodies in a multi-body part file. A new solid body creates an independent body which
can be edited as a separate entity. A solid body can share features with other solid bodies.
To add features that refine the shape of one or more bodies, sketch or select geometry for a new
profile, select the participating bodies, and then repeat the extrusion operation or select a different
feature command. To add features that create new bodies, sketch or select geometry for a new profile,
and then choose New solid in the extrude dialog box.
The first feature in a part file is the base feature. If added to other solid bodies, the extrusion can
modify the specified bodies with a join, cut, or intersect operation. An intersection creates a solid from
the shared volume of the two features and removes any material outside their shared boundaries.
Extruded assembly features are used to cut through other parts.
14
REVOLVE:
Revolved features are created by sweeping one or more sketched profiles around an axis. If the
revolved feature is the first feature in a part file, it is the base feature. Use Revolve to create a new
solid body in a multi-body part. A new solid body creates an independent feature which can be edited
as a separate entity. A surface can be created from a revolved profile, and then used as a termination
plane for other features or a split tool for a split part. The profile can be revolved through any angle
measuring between zero and 360 degrees around an axis. The axis of revolution can be part of the
profile or offset from it. The profile and axis must be coplanar. Revolved assembly features are used to
cut through other parts.
SWEEP:
Sweep features or bodies are created by moving or sweeping one or more sketch profiles along a path.
The multiple profiles you use must exist in the same sketch. The path can be an open or closed loop, but
must pierce the profile plane.
15
You can also create a sweep with a sketch profile, a path, and a guide object. You can:
• Sweep a profile along a path.
• Sweep a profile along a path and guide rail. The guide rail controls scale and twist of the swept
profile.
• Sweep a profile along a path and guide surface. The guide surface controls twist of the swept
profile.
Traditional path sweeps are used for objects that have uniform profiles swept along a trajectory, such
as gasket grooves and cabling or piping through an assembly. Guide rail sweeps are used for objects
that have nonuniform profiles that scale or twist along a trajectory, such as a complex handle for a
consumer part. Guide surface sweeps are used for objects that have uniform profiles swept along a
nonplanar trajectory. The twist of the profile must maintain a given orientation to a selected surface,
such as a machining operation on a cylindrical part. Sweeps with a cut operation can be created in the
assembly environment.
16
LOFT:
Create lofted features or bodies in Inventor by blending multiple profiles, called sections, and
transitioning them into smooth shapes between the profiles or part faces. In addition to sketched
profiles, you can also select object faces and points to include as loft sections. Use Loft to create
complex, organic shapes such as those found in the automotive, marine, and consumer products
industries Lofting can be used in different ways. You can use Loft to: Create a solid feature or new
body.
Create a surface model to generate the shape and then "stitch" the resulting surface quilt into a solid.
17
Create lofted surfaces to use with the Sculpt command to create a shape or modify the model.
EMBOSS:
Creates an emboss feature by raising or recessing a profile relative to the model face by a specified depth
and direction. The embossed area can provide a surface for a decal or painting. A recessed embossed area
can provide clearance for another component in an assembly.
COILS:
18
DECAL:
You can place a decal on a model face for uses such as labels, brand name art, logos, and warranty seals.
You insert an image in a sketch, use constraints and dimensions to position it, and then select the image
to apply as the decal.
A decal usually is a stocked item and has its own part number. If so, create it as a part and use it in
multiple assemblies. One way to do this is to create a thin part, such as an extruded surface and place
the decal on the surface. If you create the decal on a part instead of a surface, use Delete Face on the
Model tab and remove unneeded faces. The part is automatically converted to a surface.
19
1-11: FEATURE EDITING
HOLES:
Placement
From Sketch: Requires a hole center point, or sketch point sketched on an existing feature. You can select
endpoints, or center points on existing geometry as hole centers. Or, drag with left mouse button to select
an area, and sketch points within it can serve as centers of holes.
Centers Click to select endpoints, or center points of geometry as hole centers. Selects hole center points
automatically.
Linear Creates holes on a face relative to two linear edges.
Face selects a planar face to place the hole.
Reference1 Selects the first linear edge referenced for dimensioning the placement of the hole.
Reference2 selects the second linear edge referenced for dimensioning the placement of the hole.
Concentric Creates holes on a plane, concentric with a circular edge or cylindrical face.
Plane Selects a planar face or work plane to place the hole.
On Point Creates holes which are coincident with a work point, and positioned relative to an axis, edge, or
work plane.
Centers Selects the location for the center of the holes.

1-13: ASSEMBLY CONSTRAINTS
ASSEMBLY CONSTRAINTS
The Assembly tab has the following constraints to control position:
• A mate constraint positions the components so the selected faces are parallel to
one another. The mate condition positions the faces opposite each other. The
flush condition positions the faces in the same direction. The faces can be offset
from one another.
• An angle constraint positions linear or planar faces on two components at a
specified angle.
• A tangent constraint between planes, cylinders, spheres, cones, and ruled
splines causes geometry to contact at the point of tangency. Tangency can be
inside or outside a curve.
• An insert constraint positions cylindrical features with planar faces perpendicular
to the cylinder axis.
The Assembly tab also supports user-defined constraint limits. You can define a minimum,
maximum, and resting position for constraints in the assembly tab.
The Motion tab has the following constraints to specify
intended motion ratios between assembly components:
• A rotation-rotation constraint specifies rotation of one
part relative to another part using a calculated or specified
ratio.
• A rotation-translation constraint specifies
rotation of one part relative to translation of a second part.

FITS:
Clearance fit: The shaft is always smaller than the hole resulting in a positive allowance. The allowance
is the difference between the higher limit of the shaft and lower limit of the hole. This is often called the
minimum clearance.
Interference fit: The shaft is always bigger than the hole resulting in a negative allowance.
Transition fit: The shaft is either bigger or smaller than the hole
47
LIMITS AND FITS SYSTEMS
Hole Basis:
In a hole basis system the shaft size is varied and the basic hole size kept constant.
Refer to BS4500-1969 DATA SHEET 4500A
Application: For general applications.
Shaft Basis:
In a shaft basis system the hole size is varied and the basic shaft size kept constant.
Refer to BS4500-1969 DATA SHEET 4500B
Application: Large sizes, temperature extremes. Where a shaft accommodates a number of pulleys,
couplings, gears its is preferable to keep the shaft size constant.

Interference fits: H8/r7, H7/p6, H7/r6, P7/h6, R7/h6
Pressed fits with guaranteed interference. Assembly of the parts can be carried out using cold pressing.
Use: Hubs of clutch disks, bearing bushings.
H8/s7, H8/t7, H7/s6, H7/t6, S7/h6, T7/h6
Pressed fits with medium interference. Assembly of parts using hot pressing. Assembly using cold pressing
only with use of large forces.
Use: Permanent coupling of gears with shafts, bearing bushings.
H8/u8, H8/u7, H8/x8, H7/u6, U8/h7, U7/h6
Pressed fits with big interferences. Assembly using pressing and great forces under different temperatures
of the parts.
Use: permanent couplings of gears with shafts, flanges.

GEOMETRIC TOLERANCING
Geometrical Tolerancing and Datums
Boxed Dimensions :
These are true dimensions and are identified by being enclosed in a box. They relate to the
true position of a hole, slot, cut out etc. these dimensions are not individually toleranced but
are accompanied by a positional or zone tolerance.
52
Indication of geometrical tolerances :
Datums:
Datum surfaces should be accurately finished and act as the surface to measure from. They
are normally shown on the surface itself or the dimension line. They can however also be
attached to leaders or dimension extension lines.
53
Positional Tolerances:
Positional tolerances are used to shows the limits of the location of features. To do this
exact dimensions, tolerance zones and datums are used. This process ensures that
cumulative dimensions are not built up as in the case of a toleranced chain dimension. The
true dimensions are always boxed but are accompanied by either a positional or zone
tolerance.
Positional tolerances is the permitted deviation from a true postion.
Positional tolerance zones define a region that the position can deviate too.
