Preface ix

ABOUT THIS BOOK

The philosophy behind this book is that learning computerized drafting programs is best accomplished

by emphasizing the application of the tools rather than spending time on the theoretical principles

underpinning engineering graphics and computer-aided design. Students also seem to learn more

quickly and retain information and skills better if they are actually creating something with the software

program. The driving force behind the entire presentation in this book is "learning by doing."

The instructional format of this book centers on making sure that students learn by doing and that stu￾dents can learn from this book on their own. In fact, this is one thing that differentiates my book from

others: the emphasis on being able to use the book for self-study. The presentation of Inventor is struc￾tured so that the no previous knowledge of using any CAD program is required. My belief is that

Inventor is mastered best by concentrating on applying the program to create different types of solid

models, starting simply and then using the power of the program to progressively create more complex

solid models. The Drawing Activities at the end of each chapter are more complex iterations of the part

developed by each chapter's objectives.

Because CAD programs are highly visual, there are more graphical illustrations showing how to use the

program than there are verbal instructions. This reinforces the "learn by doing" philosophy since a

student can see exactly what the program shows, and then step through progressive commands to

implement the required operations. Rather than using a verbal description of the command, a screen

capture of each command is replicated. This book's emphasis is on providing the screen captures of the

program 's commands to develop the skills needed for the creation of models and parts that are illus￾trated in the book. The screen captures have also been enhanced with small arrows to point out exactly

what is most important in each screen capture.

Learning by doing requires Drawing Activities that reinforce each chapter's objectives. All Part/M odel

exercises that form the core of each chapter begin simply and build up in level of complexity throughout

the text as the student's skills with the program improve. Those skills are reinforced and improved

through the end of chapter problems. The Chapter Problems have been carefully developed to compli￾ment the skills taught in the p art/m odel detailed in the chapter objectives.

It has been my experience that the "learn by doing" model produces faster m asteiy of computer-aided

drafting programs than comparable lecture m odes where the commands are explained and then the stu￾dents are expected to implement those commands. I have found that students are eager to take over

"driving the program" and if they have the correct roadmap, they quickly pick up how to operate the

program and progress quickly. My hope is that you will find equal success in using this book in your

Autodesk Inventor courses. I welcome your feedback and if you need specific on-site Inventor training,

please contact me at [email protected].

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank m y wife Linda, my son Jordan and daughter Morgan for their constant support

and understanding while I was writing this book. I spent quite a few evenings away from them working

late into the night to complete it. I also w ant to thank my father, Leo Hansen and m other Sherrell

Hansen for their support and encouragement. I also w ant to thank Dr. Clair Hill for giving m e my first

teaching experience, which has opened many doors for me and enhanced my life and career.

I w ould like to acknowledge the valuable comments and suggestions of the following individuals who

reviewed the m anuscript for this text: Eduardo Chan, San Jose State University; William A. Ross, Purdue

University; and U. Sunday Tim, Iowa State University.
